GDT: Jays vs Phillies (7 March)

[King]

Miguelito

[Candy Maldonado]

holy s*** long skinny legs

[intentional wok]

My feed dropped and when I got it back the third out was being made.

 

What happened? Was that a one-minute inning?

[Angrioter]

Miguelito "el flaco" Castro bandwagon in 3..2..1

 

This kid will make 25-man roster. Book it!!

[Laika]

Holy s*** Miguel Castro is awesome.

 

97 (pop out)

97 (strike looking)

97 (groundout)

84 (slider, strike looking)

87 (in the dirt)

95 (groundout)

[vdartanian]

Not sure about that (the 25 man), but kid looks like he has a nice easy delivery

[StroShow]

The 97s were easy cheese too.

[ElNik2013]

He showed all 3 of his pitches ( I think the 87MPH pitch was his change-up) and showed command. SSS of course.

 

Hopefully, they give him another inning.

[43211234]

That slider looked pretty nasty from Castro.

 

There have been mixed reports on his off-speed pitches. Some say his slider is weak and change is potential plus, others have said great slider weak change. It looked pretty good there.

[ElNik2013]

Send him down, but start him at AA.

[vdartanian]

Was a slider...just didn't break much

[Angrioter]

Holy s*** Miguel Castro is awesome.

 

97 (pop out)

97 (strike looking)

97 (groundout)

84 (slider, strike looking)

87 (in the dirt)

95 (groundout)

 

add 20 pounds, and he will gain +3 MPH

 

99 MPH, T-103 MPH

[43211234]

Good instincts by Alford to steal that base. Nice jump.

[Angrioter]

Who wanna change his vote?

It'll be the whole Aaron Sachez debate again with Castro.

[Orgfiller]

Nice sound off the bat from Pompey, just missed it.

[43211234]

It'll be the whole Aaron Sachez debate again with Castro.

 

In what way? Starter vs. reliever?

 

Castro has always thrown strikes.

[Orgfiller]

f***, I come in and everyone of interest leaves the game.

[JFD]

so I guess there's no chance of this Castro kid making the majors this year? need another arm like that this year!

[Angrioter]

Fuxx. Phillies batter are awful.

Take pitches bitches.

[King]

so I guess there's no chance of this Castro kid making the majors this year?

 

Could make the team out of spring training lol

[Laika]

I don't believe AA for a second that Castro could make the team. No way he cuts a guy without options in order to bring a kid from A ball to the big leagues - that would just be so out of norm with how this team has operated.

 

If anything he's just pumping up his trade value because they don't love his mechanics or his chance to be a SP long term.

[S33n]

f***, I come in and everyone of interest leaves the game.

 

I'm interested to see how Delabar does, I think we need him to be effective this year.

[Gorlak]

In what way? Starter vs. reliever?

 

Castro has always thrown strikes.

 

That's not the main thing that makes somebody a starter over a reliever.

[Angrioter]

Could make the team out of spring training lol

 

He will!

[intentional wok]

I didn't know Gindl is pronounced with a soft 'g', or is the Phillies' guy just mistaken?

[Gorlak]

I don't believe AA for a second that Castro could make the team. No way he cuts a guy without options in order to bring a kid from A ball to the big leagues - that would just be so out of norm with how this team has operated.

 

If anything he's just pumping up his trade value because they don't love his mechanics or his chance to be a SP long term.

 

I would take the other side of that bet. Not sure who all has run out of options, but likely somebody he would be comfortable losing to make the team better. Really I think AA thinks using high upside pitching prospects he can have a decent bullpen for no money.

[StroShow]

Biddle sucks

[Maahfaace]

Man, the dugout looks way to congested....if the jays build a new spring training facility, they should make the dugouts twice the size lol

[JFD]

Could make the team out of spring training lol

 

I hope so. need an arm like this desperately.
