ST GDT - Toronto Blue Jays @ Detroit Tigers - Romero vs. Smyly - 1:05 PM ET

Look at the bright side folks, none of our pitchers were as bad as Quintana for the White Sox today. He gave up 9 runs in the 1st inning on 7 hits and 2 walks without even recording an out... and he's actually going to be in the Sox rotation this year!

Ban worthy accusation!

No reason to play you regulars for more than 3 AB in a blowout

Only 23 of Romero's 57 pitches were strikes. He acknowledged falling behind in counts and not following through in his delivery but also took a shot at Mother Nature.

"It was a weird weather day, too," said Romero. "The balls were a little slick and it just kept coming out of my hand and whatnot, but I tried to battle."

The game time temperature was 20-celcius. It was a sunny day. There was a breeze, but nothing out of the ordinary.

 

 

MORROW vs. BUEHRLE IN INTRASQUAD GAME

 

Brandon Morrow, who's being strongly considered to pitch the home opener on April 4 against the Yankees, making him the "fifth" starter, squared off against Mark Buehrle in an intrasquad game in Dunedin on Tuesday.

 

Morrow, who missed the final four months of last season with an entrapped radial nerve in his right forearm, has struggled with fastball command this spring. In three-and-two-thirds innings, he allowed two runs on four hits, walking two and striking out two. Morrow threw 63 pitches; his fastball ranged in the low-to-mid 90s.

 

"I was getting ahead, throwing it where I wanted to," said Morrow. "I think I had a couple looking strikeouts on it. All in all, it was a good day. I felt really good with my curveball. Slider and split could've been better, but I made some good pitches with those too."

 

Buehrle threw four-and-third innings, allowing three runs, two earned, on five hits (including home runs by Erik Kratz and Kenny Wilson) and two walks. He struck out three and threw 81 pitches.
