I hope you guys enjoy the is bush-league Spring Training GDT! Please leave feedback and ideas/improvements for future GDTs!

[G-Snarls]

Sierra has been replaced with Bautista

 

Sierra is sick apparently

[G-Snarls]

Hopefullly Tuiasosopo goes 0-4.

 

You in a bad mood today or something?

[G-Snarls]

Brandon, please show us something today. please.

[Jaysin2014]

Is Morrow still starting today?

[o2cui2i]

It legitimately bothers me that Sierra/Bautista/Melky are the guys who will be playing CF in the regular season if/when Rasmus needs a day off.

 

they would have a great back up CF if Gose wasn't a sack of s*** with the bat. Gose hasn't gotten any better with the bat over the last 2 years because he's too stupid to get on base. arrogant prick still thinks he's a power bat, so he refuses to bunt properly, thinking they will stop asking him to if he sucks moose dick. instead the dumb ass is getting what he deserves, another round of AAA.

Well if someone could teach Anthony Gose to hit we'd be better off

[G-Snarls]

I'm half expxtjng a scratch at any minute

[Chappy]

I hope Morrows arm does not fall off today.

[G-Snarls]

Morrow pitching

Small request. Today is a good day.

He was apparently more of that kind of batter a few years ago, then the Jays decided he should be able to hit for some power and wanted him to swing at everything and learn to hit home runs (not kidding). He may or may not have been at a different spot in his development anyway, but I place blame for the power bat stuff on the Jays rather than him.

[Abomination]

Beautiful swing there by Lawrie. Too bad the ball died.

[SpeedyGose]

Brett just misses a HR to deep center

He seems to press for power numbers instead of hitting to his strengths. If he could be more of a slap hitter, he'd put up numbers similar to Ichiro. At worst he could put up Kenny Lofton type seasons.

[G-Snarls]

No, I just don't want him "making the team".

 

0-1 (k) so far

[G-Snarls]

What? Please don't use names like those in the same sentence as Anthony Gose. FFS that's egregious.

[G-Snarls]

As if anyone can just decide to be a slap hitter and "put up numbers like Ichiro"

[o2cui2i]

jays are completely horrible at developing players. We really need that to change. I hope the new hitting approach they are talking about at the big league level trickles down to all the lower levels as well.

Yes. They need to develop an organizational approach and make sure it's a single message throughout the minors.

Ichiro has some ridiculous hand eye coordination. I wouldn't even try teach anyone to leave the batters box when the ball is half way to home plate like Ichiro, but it worked well for him.

[o2cui2i]

Yes. They need to develop an organizational approach and make sure it's a single message throughout the minors.

 

they've had that for years... it was just the wrong message. lol

[Jaysin2014]

With his speed,infield grounders would produce hits and a solid OBP. Ichiro didn't rely on lasers to keep his average up. Obviously Ichiro was a rare talent but the tools are there for Gose to be that type of player. Defense,speed, physical attributes are similar.

[fireballW]

Morrow looks like he's soft tossing out there. He going to be down to 90-92 this year now or something?

[BlueJaysGirl]

We should try to steal the best director of player development from another team with an absurd overpay.

[Stangstag]

Ugh, another gross outing so far for Morrow. He needs to get it together between now and his next start. The team can't afford to get nothing from him again this season.

 

If Morrow doesn't pitch decently for us this season, we're definitely f***ed.

Hand-eye coordination is a thing. So is pitch recognition. Not every skill in baseball relies on how strong you are or how fast you can run and swing a bat. Making contact with a baseball is a skill.
