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

[Blitzkrug]

That's 3 games out of 6 the bullpen has essentially blown for the Jays.

On second thought can baseball go back to being on hiatus.

 

[Natey]

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible take.

"The system has some flaws. So instead of fixing it, let's just scrap it entirely. Sports were better when we just had to live with getting angry at officials making crap calls with no recourse."

Also they're limited this season by the fact that there's just 1 broadcast providing feeds for both teams and a limited # of camera angles they're permitted to have to limit the amount of staff necessary in the stadium.

They were. Human error is better than 8 hour replays, especially when the system isn't perfect either.

I'd gladly go back to a day of no replays.

It's effectively killed soccer.

And it has been two pitchers.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Goodbye forever Yamaguchi

 

[aingefan]

Welp. Hoped Shun could get out of it.

*Maybe* Cavan gets him if he goes straight to the baseline rather than the base, but bang bang.

in other news, Kieboom is a pretty great baseball name.

 

[Nineteen67]

Vladdy can’t bend over

 

[Just Rude]

Well, shit.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Not really sure how Yamaguchi led Japan in strikeouts when his fastball barely breaks 90 and his off speed and breaking ball are 85-86.

blame it on the ball, whatever. He’s not an MLB pitcher at this point.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Yamaguichi rocking a stellar ERA of *checks notes*...Infinity

 

[Natey]

Can we just get rid of Yamaguchi??

Anderson is back soon

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

Not sure who I hate more right now... Montoyo or Yamaguchi...?

 

[stickty111]

Whatever win tomorrow and these 7 games are a success. Games like this anger me.

Call it like it is. Japanese ball isn't as good as MLB level ball. It's just how it is.

It's why a guy who by most accounts is washed like Adam Jones can go there and look like he belongs.

 

[Kurtz]

Well, the bones of a good team are here. We just need a new manager, a couple of bullpen arms and Vlad to lose 50 pounds.

 

[jetsforever]

Yamaguichi rocking a stellar ERA of *checks notes*...Infinity

Don't worry, after his improved performance today, he got it down to a low 36

 

[stickty111]

Not sure who I hate more right now... Montoyo or Yamaguchi...?

Montoyo "I thought he pitched really well".

 

[Just Rude]

Vladdy on second. Triple down the line should score him.

 

[The Big Swede13]

Not sure who I hate more right now... Montoyo or Yamaguchi...?

They are both terrible but unfortunately we are stuck with Montoyo for the year

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Montoyo is managing like he knows his job is safe and this is a 162 game season.

Better figure it out though because if he’s struggling a year or two from now there won’t be the same grace period to fall back on.

 

[djdev]

our bullpenn is going to be ruined by game 20 at this rate

Soccer got ruined because for some reason they went away from clear and obvious. Only league that does it right is MLS.

This MLB one sucks because they only have half the cameras as usual because of COVID

 

[Del Preston]

Is John Gibbons looking for work?

 

[Just Rude]

“Home” fans heading for the exits. The place looks empty.

 

[Blitzkrug]

On the plus side, they avoid Strasburg tomorrow and won't have to face a beast like Scherzer. And they can still win the series.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

Is John Gibbons looking for work?

Beyond awesome idea.
