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

[Leafs at Knight]

Already an ugly game

 

[The Nemesis]

Super-ultra-mega-bust.

 

[MS]

Guerrero is getting squeezed by the umps something fierce and you can see it’s messing with him.

That at-bat the first strike was clearly low. Should have been 2-0, but instead it’s 1-1 and he expands the zone to swing at another low pitch. Then a marginal strike 3.

Agreed. Seems like he is trying to be patient but there seems to be a lot of marginal strike calls on him

It feels like there’s a marginal strike call against him almost every at-bat. It’s incredible. It’s like the umps are making a point of showing the new hotshot kid no respect.

And as a guy who knows the strike zone - and knows he knows the strike zone - you can see it’s grating on him.

Not to mention pitchers are pitching him very closely. I wonder if they put Vlad in the two spot it would help out a bit.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Watching the Jays is really tough with Vlad struggling

 

[canucksfan]

Those are some brutal strike calls.

 

[Marshy]

Plate ump sucks. Get him a laser eye surgery coupon.

 

[phillipmike]

Vladdy is failing on purpose to save the Jays money, again.

 

[The Nemesis]

Everything is terrible. 1st inning bases-loaded walk for Sanchez and Guerrero doesn't even have a hit yet.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Incoming Schoop grand slam

 

[The Nemesis]

Why do I always think Jose Berrios' first name is actually Manny? Every time I see his stat line come up and it says "Jose" I pause and think "wait. That's not right, is it?"

 

[canucksfan]

 

[The Nemesis]

My hope is that he's pushing all the bunting as a learn-on-the-job teaching tool and that when the team is good and the games matter more he won't be doing this much bunting and sac plays.

 

[The Nemesis]

Solid interview from Shapiro. He said a lot of things that I liked and think make sense. I got a good chuckle when he shot down Tabler's question about positional targets at the draft with the most common sense answer possible.

 

[Marshy]

5 hits ...0 runs in the last 13 innings.


ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

 

[The Nemesis]

No Vlad tonight (rest)

 

[Leafs at Knight]

No Vlad tonight (rest)

Saves me some time

 

[ShaneFalco]

They may never score again

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am not that impressed with Grichuk. I don't know, I guess 10M does not buy you much these days.

 

[ShaneFalco]

ffs

 

[canucksfan]

Not really watching and it’s not fun

 

[dredeye]

Looks like a good thing I can’t watch tonight. Yikes

 

[Suntouchable13]

Not really watching and it’s not fun

I though this would be a fun team to watch at least. This is just... I don't know what to say.
