Looking forward to watching Norris pitch, love watching the young guys! That's one of the things that makes the Stroman injury so painful, but at least there's still Hutchison and possibly Norris and Sanchez to watch develop. Then you have the possibility of guys like Castro and Osuna moving quickly through the system if they pitch well and being possible Sept call-ups. Hopefully guys like Cole and Boyd force their way up as well and replace Graveman and Nolin.

Someone who is good with the steam links should post a stream link to this... Unless Charlie's airing it, I'll check there closer to game-time...

 

Two downsides to not having actual TV, Jays games and I have to wait like... 12 or so hours to watch The Daily Show...

Charlie doesn't stream baseball anymore, apparently he got a letter from the MLB.

So now that Stroman is out and Norris and Shanchez are most likey in. Does it make sense to change the Rotation up as well. Say ....

Hutch

Dickey

Norris

Buehrle

Shanchez

 

Dickey and buehrle give the pen rest ... The dickey effect can be most benefited from the two spot and Norris should get a lil bump too! Shanchez can be managed innings wise from the fifth easier too!

 

I could live with that Rotation ! Plus you'd have Redmond and Estrda to piggy back Norris and Shanchez too!

So happy we get to see Norris today. This is a big start for him. If he throws strikes he makes the team. Its his job to lose.

 

Yeah they pretty much need him to make the team. I'm not willing to count on both Estrada and Sanchez to win and then hang on to starting jobs.

It would be good to have either Sanchez or Norris as the 6th SP in AAA. I'll let the team decide which way they decide to go, but we'll also have to see if there's any glimmer of hope for Santana.

Santana won't be ready until May at the earliest

You also have to righties at the top. Not sure I said the Dickey effect would trickle to both lefties! If it did win win! Not sure buehrle would need it, but Norris could benefit! Only way to get a true R,L rotation would be Norris, Dickey,Hutch,Buehrle and Shanchez or flipping Norris and Shanchez but I would rather leave Shanchez in the fifth!

 

Dickey in the two spot also effects more series directly ! I think also, until proven wrong by a stats geek, I am looking at you JFaS ! Lol

Sanchez and Estrada in the rotation with Norris in AAA would be fine with me. They don't seem to want to demote Sanchez, but they were open to demoting Norris before Stroman went down. Save one of their arby clocks, at least.

Its Dickey, Buehlre and hutch upfront because those three will throw 180-200 innings assuming they stay healthy (fingers crossed). Norris is a back end starter because 1) unproven and 2) needs to be skipped a start here or there to limit inning .

Norris should start in AAA to gain an extra year of control. The 5th starter isn't needed very often in April anyway...Estrada can give us one spot start if needed, then up comes Norris.

 

This also helps limit Norris's innings...which is necessary.

Absolutely right. The irony here is that Norris is more polished than Sanchez, but Sanchez is more likely to start the year in the majors.

First batter Ellsburry, Norris struggles a bit to locate the curveball, ends up getting him to check swing a groundball to third on the fastball, easy play for the first out.

lol, Norris froze Beltran and the ump. Call it two uncomfortable groundouts + a looking K.

In a fastball heavy AB, Norris gets ahead of Beltran early. Somehow doesn't get the called third strike on a beautiful outside fastball that was framed perfectly.

 

After battling, Norris jams Beltran inside who breaks his bat on a weak groundball up the middle, inning over.
