O's vs Jays | March 13

[Rotator]

does sanchez remind anyone of henderson alvarez? all hard sinkers, secondary pitches are not really where they need to be yet. Really needs good infield defence behind him because of low k's.

[S33n]

Good outing by Sanchez. I only counted 1 ball that was hit hard, mixed with a bit of bad luck.

The more I think about it, the more I see it.

He does, except that Sanchez lacks command by a few ticks. I think we should stick with Sanchez though. He's still young to learn and master a secondary pitch.

 

He should learn Hutch's slider.

[Sammy225]

not many swing and misses but a crap load of grounders which is very encouraging.

[tercet]

He gets a crap load of groundballs when his sinker his low..

 

When he throws any offspeed pitch he is work in progress.

When he throws offspeed vs LHB he is tossing underhand batting practice..

 

Cmon guys one pitch wont succeed in the majors

i agree with most of this, but weren't we all saying the same about Henderson Alvarez when he was a jay? he seems to be doing something right and is carving out a nice career in miami right now. i think we just need to be patient with Sanchez. He has such power in that arm, surely he will eventually get some command of the secondary stuff. as i mentioned earlier he really needs a changeup to use against lefties.

[HERPDERP]

we should sign Marcum to be an instructor for Sanchezy

[TheHurl]

I love the way the pitch framing detractors all talk about the Umpires adjusting and not getting fooled when the catchers glove is moving...but then good framers with moving gloves still continue to get strike calls.

Henderson has command/control, Sanchez does not have command/control currently. He had 4 full counts today, he could have easily walked 3-4.

a little better stuff...a little/lot worse command.

[Rotator]

Osuna time!

[Rotator]

nice changeup Osuna, teach it to Sanchez.

[TheHurl]

I'm willing to lay off Osuna for being fat now (he's not)...still not jumping on the bandwagon yet.

[Angrioter]

Robertico >> Sanchez

[Rotator]

Nice K on the changeup by Osuna.

[Governator]

Snider is going to damage against us this year I just know it

[Governator]

he was so in there

[Rotator]

Another sweet changeup, damn nice to see him back from the TJ surgery.

[flafson]

I think he was safe...

[Governator]

Nice job Izturis, if he hits his career line this year I'd be happy.

[HERPDERP]

Devon Travis on the audio stream in a few minutes.

[jaysfan2014]

Wilton's having some control issues this inning..

[HERPDERP]

The Pillar vs Pompey competition this spring has been great

 

The Barton vs Smoak? not so much

[Governator]

Valencia rakes the lefties, and not afraid to hit on a 3-0 count.

[intentional wok]

At least we can be comfortable with half of that 1B platoon

[Governator]

If Smoak and Barton simply don't cut it would this not work better? I know it's not ideal obv, but if they simply are liabilities maybe a patchwork move if Navarro stays with the team.

 

Righties:

 

EE @ 1B

Navarro DH

 

Lefties:

 

Valencia 1B

EE DH

[HERPDERP]

E5 should not see the field ever. I don't want him to get injured when Donaldson air mails one into the runner's lane.

[glory]

Unless you want half the throws from third and short to go for throwing errors, it's better to have Smoak or Barton at 1B than Edwin.

[burlingtonbandit]

Does anyone know why when I am watching MLB TV 2 hours behind why it keeps going back to the beginning? Is there a setting that I don't know about or something? Really frusterating..
