GDT: ST Yankees vs Jays (March 14) On Sportsnet 1PM

[KingKat]

Pompey tries to bunt for a single but Rogers makes a nice play to get the ball quickly and just throw him out.

[Orgfiller]

Pompey lays down a nice looking bunt, Esmil without hesitation makes a good play to retire him.

That was a beautiful looking bunt.

[baubau]

Fan in the background shouting, "AROD NO ONE LIKES YOU".

A girl voices, "I DO!"

 

Pretty funny.

[Dylan]

Gindl on fire!

[KingKat]

Gindl with a triple.

[S33n]

Who is this Gindle guy, lol. 3 triples this spring?

[Orgfiller]

Gindl battles after falling behind early, he hits a line drive into the RF corner, stretches out the triple with Beltran taking a while.

[JaysAllMighty]

Gindl extra base hitting machine this spring

[fatcowxlive]

Gindl Triple!

[Laika]

That was a beautiful looking bunt.

 

For someone that was such a "raw" prospect, Pompey does everything you'd expect a complete player to do.

 

He can bunt (that one was well below the strike zone and he still laid it down nicely), he gets good instinctual jumps in the OF, and his plate discipline skills are there.

[Orgfiller]

The triple was ruled a double because the OF is weird, the ball practically left the field.

[KingKat]

That was a beautiful looking bunt.

 

The bunt for a hit is a good thing for Pompey to have in his arsenal. If he saves it for weaker fielding pitchers, it should let him steal some singles if it's as good as the one we saw today.

[Orgfiller]

Pillar fouls away some pitches after falling behind 0-2, ends up hitting a flyball foulout to Gardner in LF.

[KingKat]

Pillar hits a fly ball to foul territory to end the inning.

[Orgfiller]

Norris back out for the third.

 

He gets squeezed on back-to-back borderline pitches outside. Ends up going right back there getting a called third strike on a breaking ball.

[KingKat]

Bla, bla, bla, van, bla, bla, bla.

[Orgfiller]

Cole Figueroa hits an oppo line drive on a high fastball, Pillar tries to make a good play to limit him to a single, but Figueroa ends up stretching it for a double.

[KingKat]

Cole Figueroa with the double.

[baubau]

So there is blood on Norri's pants. Looks like he may have a blister. Also Norris has been pitching really well and the ump, being a blind bat, has called a lot pitches balls that should be strikes.

[Laika]

Norris throwing a lot of good breaking balls just off the edges this inning.

[Orgfiller]

Norris keeps getting squeezed, borderline fastball on the outside doesn't get called. On a full count Ellsbury grounds out to Travis. Figueroa advances to third.

[Cyris]

I think he was grazed by the bat when it broke and came towards him earlier in the game.

I could definitely be wrong about it tho.

[Laika]

3-2 curveball in the zone to Ellsbury shows maturity and gets a weak groundout.

 

I like Norris!

[KingKat]

Ellsbury with a weak grounder to 2B, briefly bobbled by Travis but not fatally so.

[KingKat]

Not a a wow outing by Norris so far but a nice display of competence.

[Laika]

Fastball by Gardner (whiff).

Slider in the zone, Gardner way out front (foul)

Big Slow Curveball in the zone, Gardner whiffs.

 

K!

[KingKat]

Gardner strikes out to end the inning and the outing for Norris.

[baubau]

Norris strikes out Gardiner with a slow curve ball. 3 pitch strike. Think all of Norris' strike outs today have been a swinging strike.

[Orgfiller]

Brett Gardner absolutely fooled on a slow curveball on the outside, he goes down swinging on three pitches.
