Blue Jays GDT: (2020 v5) ALWC Gm 2: (8) Tor @ (1) TB| Wed, Sept 30 | 4:00pm ET/1:00pm PT | Ryu vs Glasnow

[TopChedder]

Buck sounds absolutely pissed at Jays management right now. I could tell he was kind of pessimistic yesterday as soon as they pulled Shoemaker.

And he is 100% correct to be.

 

[hoglund]

Maybe they can bring in Showmaker since he only pitched 3 innings yesterday.

 

[rboomercat90]

Funny enough, Buck just said the exact same thing.

When was the last time you heard Buck Martinez call anyone out? I can’t remember it ever happening before.

 

[Marshy]

Funny enough, Buck just said the exact same thing.

They said the series was over at that point?


Sorry I'm grilling...in and out so missing some things.

 

[RoadWarrior]

You don't pull a guy pitching a shutout who just retired the last 5 or 6 batters in order after 35 pitches........ you just don't. At least let him get 5 or 6 innings then turn it over to Ray.

Ryu should've started game 1. These are crappy management decisions.

 

[hoglund]

Nate Pearson is coming in.

 

[EpochLink]

Nate Pearson is coming in.

Get him some experience

 

[TopChedder]

Nate is such a wonderful arm.

 

[TopChedder]

101MPH
To
87MPH with crazy movement.

Dirty

In a perfect world Nate would be pitching game 1 if he was not shutdown for a little bit.

NASTY STUFF

 

[The Big Swede13]

Pearson is such a stud

 

[Cloned]

Please don't tell me Ryu lost velocity today because of that 100 pitch outing against the Yankees. That would suck if that was the actual reason.

 

[TopChedder]

Pearson is such a stud

He is f***ing unreal

 

[hoglund]

Jansen is the only one hitting today.

 

[PanniniClaus]

If you pay any attention to how things operate here like listening to interviews with Montoya and other team members, you would learn that decisions of this sort are made by our analytics team and not by Montoya.

The Manager gets the final say... Montoya though can't think on his feet. He has demonstrated that in games 1 and 2 by not leaving Schu in and not pulling Ryu right away.

The only other Jays manager I truly did not like was Tim Johnson and that's not because of baseball acumen. Montoya is easily the worst tactical manager this team has ever had and by no means has this team been littered with tactical masterminds. Good baseball men however...

 

[phillipmike]

I bet Ryu is sore or hurt hence why they didnt put him in game 1.

Gurriel has been working that shoulder the last 2 games after each swing. Wonder if he is hurt.

 

[PanniniClaus]

All the evidence says that Ryu has been better with an extra day of rest. There are plenty of Montoyo decisions worthy of criticism or derision. The one he made where the supporting evidence actually validates it isn't one of them. Because sometimes you can make the right decision and it still doesn't work out.

It's also being lost that the Rays are a significant favorite for a reason. This is not the Jays as a marginal underdog to Tampa Bay and blowing it against a team they've beaten up on all year. Tampa is the #1 seed. Toronto is the #8. They had a losing record against the Rays in their limited action this season.

Maybe getting obliterated 7-1 in the 3rd inning of game 2 wasn't the plan, but losing the series to the Rays is in no way an unexpected outcome. The fact that the Rays are winning the game and probably the series probably has as much to do with them being the better team as it does with Montoyo being a questionable MLB manager

You are correct Nemisis but when you see your ace has nothing...he's out. Dusty wasted no time getting Grienke out yesterday. A's didn't let Luzardo give up 7.

Ryu last 1.2 innings, didn’t even make it to 3.
Shit happens, unfortunately it happened in a game we needed to have.

 

[Cloned]

Welp, I just found a new sports city to hate after Buck talked about the Lightning, Bucs with Brady and the Rays.

It's only the 5th inning,lots of time to come back.

 

[TopChedder]

I feel the same.

But Boston will always hold the special "hate" place in my heart lol

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am a little bit pissed but at the same time I know the Jays were a massive underdog and I expected them to lose. So I am conflicted with my emotions.

 

[TopChedder]

DISGUSTING ARM!

 

[The Nemesis]

My point had nothing to do with leaving him in today. It was people complaining that he should've started yesterday and that today's failure was a consequence of that.

 

[jetsforever]

Pearson's fastball is pretty nice.

 

[Cloned]

Baseball is the ultimate what if sport.

And I hate it.

What if Montoyo uses Pearson instead of Cole yesterday?

What if he started Ryu yesterday?

etc.
