GDT: Pirates at Jays (March 8)

[gruber92]

Sanchez getting squeezed.

[jays4life19]

And now we witness Navarro lack of framing lol

[gruber92]

Ground out 5-3, nice stretch by Smoak.

[jaysfan2014]

And now we witness Navarro lack of framing lol

 

Which is why Martin will be starting and Navarro will either be DHing or traded to another club who needs a catcher.

[gruber92]

Backward K on a 0-2 fastball inside. Two quick outs.

[Travis_Snider]

nice grab izzzzz

[jays4life19]

Izzy with a real nice play at 2nd base.

[jaysfan2014]

What a nice play by Izturis! And a strong 2 innings by Sanchez. Is he in for 3 today?

[skicross1]

Izturis at 2b opening day , pencil it in

[S33n]

Nice Izzy!

[Travis_Snider]

Maybe in that AB, but my God he's such a better hitter than Lawrie.

 

 

I realize that haha

[S33n]

Izzy outplaying Travis so far for sure

[saskjayfan]

izzy's looked about as well as he could so far this spring...defense has been solid

[gruber92]

Izturis makes a highlight reel play at second with a diving short hop and throw to first.

 

Sanchez six up, six down and throwing strikes.

[gruber92]

He could be, low pitch count so far.

Man, I still hate Navarro. On that called third strike, he caught it so lazily. Didn't help Sanchez at all but luckily he got the call anyway.

 

And it goes without saying we are going to need Smoak (or Barton) at 1B. Donaldson's throwing and Reyes' everything will need a good 1B to pick the bad throws.

[gruber92]

EE caught looking on a fast ball outer half.

[jays4life19]

I wonder if Navarro got breast reduction surgery if that would increase his speed.

[Statman]

I'm liking Smoaks defense thus far. Cervelli showing he is damn good at framing/receiving the ball.

[gruber92]

Smoak bounces out 1-3. Inning over.

 

Top of three due up, 0-0.

[skicross1]

Sanchez coming back out for 3rd

Donaldson will be fine, but i agree with having solid D at 1B.

[o2cui2i]

forgot you guys changed your clocks. missed the first couple innings.... damn.

[gruber92]

Sanchez still in. First pitch GO 6-3.

[gruber92]

Stop throwing 2-1 curve balls ffs. Sanchez allows first base runner with a BB.

[intentional wok]

Liking what I've seen today from Sanchez so far.

[gruber92]

Fly ball to CF. Two out.

[RIPEXPOS]

"The Asians" lol

[Travis_Snider]

[Travis_Snider]

"The Asians" lol
