Blue Jays GDT: 2019 v1|Next: @CWS| Thu, May 16 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Stroman vs Covey

[Eyedea]

That's a pretty iffy first pitch from a guy who used to do it for a living

I'm surprised he could even rotate his arm at his age.

 

[thehockeysong]

And one look at the umpires for this game and I feel attacked. Why did they do this to us.

 

[hoc123]

Whenever Hernandez messes up in the outfield I’m going to start calling him Hern??dez

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Really glad I tuned in at 3:37 for first pitch.

Almost like it's opening day..

 

[The Nemesis]

Uh oh. Shulman says "gal-VEES" too.

drink.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Like did he tell them to pronounce his name this way or are they just doing this on their own lol

 

[rojac]

Just like a Leafs GDT. Complaining about announcers, officials, and the start time. How long before we get the complaints about who’s in the lineup?

And, of course, me being an ass and complaining about the complainers.

 

[The Nemesis]

I tried to do a little research about Galvis's name. Baseball-Reference's pronunciation guide gives "GAL-viss", which has been the norm for his career that I can remember. However, I have also seen some people discussing around the internet and on twitter say the authentic Spanish pronunciation should be "gal-VEES"

I think I'm going to have to rule that using either version is acceptable for drinking game rules, just because I don't want all the alcohol/water poisoning deaths on my hands on account of Galvis' name

buck: "Jansen has thrown well ALL season long"

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Great throw from Jansen to stop the steal.

buck: "Jansen has thrown well ALL season long"

Well... He's not wrong

 

[The Nemesis]

Who's that 12-year old standing with Barrett and Williamson? It's nice that they got a kid there to take some pi- oh my god, it's Stroman.

 

[thehockeysong]

Buck called a grown man "supple". It's not in the rules, but I think that means you drink everything in your house.

 

[MS]

Argh Sportsnet has the strike zone box actually over the plate now as an annoying distraction rather than moved off to the side by the score graphic where it used to be.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

What was that throw

 

[Rysto]

Is nobody on the broadcast going to talk about the play that Smoak made to keep that throw out of the dugout?

Edit: Also, how did I miss that Stroman has won a Gold Glove?

 

[Cor]

Stroman pitching well.

I’ll gladly take him proving me wrong this year.

 

[canucksfan]

Stroman pitching well.

I’ll gladly take him proving me wrong this year.

Velocity is up a bit too

 

[Anthrax442]

Stroman pitching well.

I’ll gladly take him proving me wrong this year.

I hope he gets us maximum return

 

[Cor]

I hope he gets us maximum return

Essentially the reason why I’m okay with him proving me wrong

 

[canucksfan]

Zimmerman has only thrown 46 pitches

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Exciting game..

Kappa

That’s a Yahtzee-bingo-snap situation right there

Although i am happy to see Stroman pitching "well" in the 6th i would be ready to count my blessings as he isnt pitching that "well". 79 pitches only 56% of the have been strikes and he has 4 walks. Zimmerman is actually pitching well, 55 pitches, 63% strikes and no walks.

Yeah but Zimmerman isn't striking many people out and he isn't getting a lot of ground balls. Both pitchers are pitching okay but not as spectacular as it seems.
