[GDT] Jays Series Thread - vs. Rangers April 30 - May 2

That type of start for the Jays bats. Two incredible plays to rob them of singles in the 8th and then Bautista drives one to dead center and it somehow stays out

All we do is give up jacks. Every single game. What on earth is wrong with this pitching staff?

AA needs to start making some calls.

The pitching staff, both bullpen and SP have been doing their jobs, it's the entire lineup that has been UNDERACHIEVING so far.

Huge positive was that Kyle Drabek looked like an absolute stud. Matched Darvish pitch for pitch and did it against a much more dangerous Texas lineup.

Negative is obviously the bats - Jose is trying wayyyy to hard. My girlfriend, who knows next to nothing about baseball, said this to me when watching him. Pitchers are coming at him with first pitch strikes every at bat and it seems he's always working from behind in the count.

AA is right by saying he hasn't deteriorated whatsoever physically - it's all mental for Joey Bats right now.

Ya the pitching staff so far has not been the problem. Especially starting pitching. Bullpen has been shakey I'll agree with that, but run scoring has been abysmal.

Absolutely man! Easily Drabeks best performance so far against a really good hitting team.

Does anyone think Hutchinson won't get slammed tonight?

It was predictable.

There we go. Back in the game.

[KelVarnsen]

Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose!

[moon]

Time for Feliz to go back to the bullpen.

Terrible inning from him.

[The Big Chill]

Jose smiled!

[KelVarnsen]

So much for good defense.

[The Big Chill]

It's depressing having Lind as our clean-up hitter.

[KelVarnsen]

Lind is the Jays Bouwmeester

[The Big Chill]

Tie game!

[The Big Chill]

And now a lead!

[flames_1987]

LOL At Moon even mentioning Feliz going back to the bullpen
