Blue Jays GDT: (v5) Next Game: @ Detroit | Wed, Apr 10 | 1pm ET/10am PT | M. Buehrle vs R. Porcello

[rwb]

Fielder beats out the throw? How is that even possible.

Pretty sure that's the fastest I have ever seen him run.

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Buehrle with a 27 pitch 1st inning

 

[Leafsdude7]

At least he only faced 5 hitters.

27 pitches. Porcello threw 18 to 3 hitters himself, though.

 

[habamillions]

At least its only one run. Could be worse

 

[Nasty Nazem]

The inning only took 27 pitches and we only gave up one run! That's success compared to previous games.

 

[McManked]

They got to learn how to score the first run.

 

[The Nemesis]

Fielder beats out the throw? How is that even possible.

Pretty sure that's the fastest I have ever seen him run.

It was a combo of Bonifacio having a weak arm and the wet infield slowing the ball down a ton in terms of getting to Reyes.

 

[Longshot]

Serious question. If the pitchers continue to struggle, do you think the organization pulls the trigger on Pete Walker and brings in a veteran pitching coach?

I remember GM Gord Ash doing that years ago relieving the pitching coach of his job and appointing Dave Stewart.

I would say no, and only because the guys we have are all veterans. These aren't kids who are trying to find their game. They will come around.

Interesting stat: After that inning, Dickey, Morrow, Buehrle and Johnson have a combined 7.99 ERA over 32 2/3 innings.

Happ has a 0.00 ERA over 5 1/3 innings.

 

[Natey]

Damn, good AB by Lind followed by a crappy flyout

 

[trellaine201]

Adam Lind :help still an auto out

 

[Nasty Nazem]

At least Lind had a good at-bat.

Jays just keep hitting at their statue fielders.

 

[Natey]

love you jp!

 

[The Nemesis]

Who is this man and what has he done with the real JP Arencibia?

 

[Leafsdude7]

Hit by Arencibia, but it's not a homer.

 

[Longshot]

That's a good point. Obviously the team would to struggle right in to May before the pressure on the organization to "do something" would grow.

 

[Natey]

****ing first pitch hack by Rasmus

i hate him

 

[Longshot]

Good at bats by everybody and then Rasmus goes up hacking at the first pitch. *sigh*

 

[trellaine201]

LOL Rasmus, get outta here!

 

[Leafsdude7]

Who is this man and what has he done with the real JP Arencibia?

They combined all the good parts of JP and Rasmus into one person and called him JP and put all the bad parts of them both into another person and called him Colby.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Why Colby why? Why is your plate discipline so horrible?

 

[TMLeafer]

Edwin's bobblehead has more hits than he does

Need a quick inning from Buehrle here.

 

[Leafsdude7]

Bonifiasco.

 

[Longshot]

Get Bonifacio off the field. He can't play second.
