Blue Jays GDT: (2020 v1) Next: vs Wsh |"Home" Opener|Wed, Jul 29 | 6pm ET / 3pm PT | Scherzer vs PEARSON *DEBUT!!!*

[Just Rude]

I almost want to have him in the 7th to keep Bass in the 8th. That way you go from Romano's fireballs, gear down to Bass in the mid/low 90s, then ramp back up to Giles.

Good point. Never looked at it like that.

 

[trellaine201]

Wow 112 pitches. What a beast.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Sorry is Buck saying to steal home here

I think he was implying they should try a hit and run? Which is incredibly stupid.

 

[canucksfan]

Fisher has looked good at the plate early on.

4D chess play to send a guy running directly at another guy trying to project a baseball in his general direction

 

[The Nemesis]

TV dive for Gurriel

 

[The Nemesis]

dammit

 

[theaub]

f off

evens out for the breaks we got in 1st and 4th though

 

[Cloned]

It's pretty bad when Buck sees the game better than Montoyo.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Welp, Fisher steals 2nd like he should’ve and we get a run with 2 outs.

 

[habamillions]

Tough break there.

 

[The Big Swede13]

Horrible at bat Teoscar.

 

[Natey]

They deserve to lose after not letting Fisher walk to second base.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

Seems appropriate to make the win in DC a walkoff...

 

[GoonieFace]

Why didn’t Fisher take 2nd earlier in the at bat, they were not going to throw it. Montoya is terrible

 

[Royal Canuck]

Dioner Navarro?

Nope, wasn’t him. He was only with the team for a half-season, maybe a full one. Fairly good hitter but couldn’t throw out Pablo Sandoval if he had to. Want to say his last name started with an M.

 

[Natey]

He's really, really bad.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Oh good. Drury's in the game.

 

[Natey]

Jose Molina?

He was here two years though. And I think has a really arm.

Luke Maile is another. He was here 3 years and above league average.

Are catchers were the same for both playoff runs. Thole, Martin and Navarro. They were all here multiple years.

Martin and Navarro were average at throwing. Thole was awful but here for Dickey and never complained.

baseball math has taken the joy out of baseball and taking all guts out of baseball. Managers are afraid to go against the numbers cause analytics departments have brainwashed lots of teams and made it a boring game.

I get what the numbers say but you can go against the numbers and create your own numbers.

No reason why Fisher wasn't running on the 1st pitch to take them out of the DP. The Nats weren't going to throw thru. I am sure the number guys said don't run cause you go down so and so % chance of scoring by stealing.

I wonder what team will bring back small ball plus analytics to increase unpredictability to manage against. Bring back the hit and run, bunting, stealing a base to put the pressure back on teams defensively. I know there is time to listen to the numbers but sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling and make stuff happen.

Looking ahead to the 9th, how nice would a walkoff in the other teams ballpark be? I'd like to know the last time that happened. Rare for obvious reasons.

The Jays bunted (into an out) and stole a base that inning.

Found him.

Miguel Montero.

 

[Canada4Gold]

So TSN tweeted about Nate Pearson, and called him Tanner Pearson.

My 12 year old knew Fisher should take 2nd there.

It’s clear Montoya has no idea what he’s doing. Bunting with 2 strikes. This guy already cost them a game earlier this year.
