[zeke]

love love love love love when vladdy is willing to take a walk even in rbi situations. makes him a completely different player.

500 at the Trop is a good result

 

[axlsalinger]

Justin Turner beasting so far. Really great at-bats today.

Turner a triple away from the cycle. Clement with another hit and Schneider off the Schnide with his first HR of the season.

Gausman looking good so far. Who needs Bo? 7-1.

Gausman going for the win.

 

[Pwner]

9-2, a split. Not bad for an opening series at the Trop.

I don't know what you can glean from this series, other than Turner is a pro.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Why did Gausman leave after 4.1?

 

[axlsalinger]

Dude missed most of spring training with an arm injury, his last appearance was only around 35 pitches so it's going to take a couple more outings to get into game shape.

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

a split in Tampa, yeah I will take that. Great win.

Ofc the Jays are gonna get no hit....

By a 30 yr old with 7 career starts who had 6 FIP last year as a reliever.

 

[axlsalinger]

and our best pitcher tonight was Isiah Kiner-Falefa

I take back everything I said about the signing

 

[manny]

Versatile was an understatement

 

[Pwner]

Yup. No hit.

I'm happy for Blanco and I'm especially happy that it was the Jays who got no-hit.

But I'm even more glad for Astros manager Joe Espada, who respected his pitcher, respected the fans, and respected the game of baseball by not yanking Blanco after X number of pitches because "pitch count".

Fuck fancy stats. When you have a no-no going you respect the game and the fans and you let your pitcher get it done because that's what baseball is about.

 

[zeke]

he threw 105 pitches.
