Blue Jays GDT: *ALCS GM 3* vs CLE | Mon, Oct 17 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Bauer vs Stroman

[hfman]

The Jays are under full control of the Cleveland Indians.

Full and utter control. Don't know how else to describe what has happened here.

 

[King Mapes]

Teams have a bullpen for a reason, Gibbons just doesn't know how to use them.

We've scored 3 runs in 3 games. Decisions with the Pen wouldn't make a difference.

 

[frost king]

The "We need Revere" count is up to about 9 in the last hour or two alone

Revere was so important to the Washington Nationals, that they gave him a seat beside Josh Thole for the Post-season.

 

[Space Coyote]

Game 4?

 

[Eyedea]

If you play to your potential and lose then nothing can be said. Last year pitching under performed, this year hitting is absolutely ******** the bed. Teams that win elevate their performance in the playoffs, not the other way around.

Cleveland hitting has been trash too? Both teams have been exploiting holes in the lineups, Cleveland has just done it better.

But he gets HITZZZ

 

[EpochLink]

I would've started Sanchez tonight, Stroman was good but gave up some killer home runs.

Encarnacion, Bautista have gone MIA.
Martin was pure trash, Tulo has gone missing. Only person to show up was Donaldson in that murders row.

Bautista is good as gone, I'd keep Encarnacion but **** it, we blew it again 2 years in a row.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Thanks for the answer. You obviously didn't watch last year. Down 0-2 in a best of 5 to win 3 straight then almost won game 6 which would force game 7 in the ALCS

No you're right. Giving up 38 runs in 6 games in the ALCS was great pitching from the Jays last year. I must have missed it.

Can't pitch one year, can't hit the other. Feel free to spew more crap. Aside from my eyes, stats are there to back up what I'm saying.

Good luck winning the ALCS giving up more than 6 runs a game one year, and then scoring less than a run a game the next year.

 

[Del Preston]

If you're proposing that Revere is the answer. Then please, take a look at his stats. I have been saying this since they acquired him, he is not that good.

No I'm talking about this.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Cleveland hitting has been trash too? Both teams have been exploiting holes in the lineups, Cleveland has just done it better.

Don't you think that's more of a reason to be upset? After the **** pitching last year in the ALCS, they finally get 3 straight quality starts, give up only 8 runs in 3 games, and still can't buy a win? On top Cleveland is missing their 2-3-4 pitchers. Honestly, can anyone justify the gap between the teams being this big?

 

[TF97]

No I'm talking about this.

Ah I forgot about that gif. My apologies. It's 1:05 AM so I'm tired and grouchy. I should've known better anyway, you're not one of the Revere lovers

How many runs has our BP given up in the postseason?

Cleveland is getting the timely hitting, we cannot buy a hit for the life of me.

 

[PG Canuck]

Missed Bauer being taken out early, had no idea Gibbons was the reason for that. Damn. Could've maybe cashed a run or two off him.

 

[Matt24]

Say what you want about Revere, but that guy cared. A whole lot. I'd take some of that right now.

I think Zaun was exaggerating that point. I'm his finer dripping blood would have been noticed by someone else as well.

Our bullpen hasn't given up runs this series.

 

[TF97]

Kawasaki cared too. That doesn't mean that bringing him back is a good idea

 

[Space Coyote]

Watch them win the next 2 only to lose in 6 again.

 

[Loosie]

You think these guys don't care right now? They might not be swinging at a trash can in the dugout but these guys care.

 

[Matt24]

Kawasaki cared too. That doesn't mean that bringing him back is a good idea

Yes, because Revere and Kawasaki have comparable talent. Give me a break.

 

[Matt24]

Some of them look like they have mentally checked out to me.

 

[PG Canuck]

Well certainly Gibbons wasn't the only one who noticed or knew. With a finger like that he was bound to throw a muffin..or so you hope.

 

[TF97]

Yes, because Revere and Kawasaki have comparable talent. Give me a break.

Your comment was based on their level of "caring". As far as skill, Kawasaki is a waste of a roster spot. Whereas Revere is likely a below average starter or a good bench piece. Besides, the current team does care, I can guarantee that.

 

[PG Canuck]

You think these guys don't care right now? They might not be swinging at a trash can in the dugout but these guys care.

Sometimes, I wonder.
