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

[HERPDERP]

that was a big curve

[o2cui2i]

Good mix from Norris. Hung a couple pitches, but for the most part a really decent start.

[Orgfiller]

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

 

I'd say it's been a good outing, he struggled a few times locating the breaking pitches but for the most part he had command on his fastball and got some whiffs on the curve and slider. Lots of outside pitches that weren't called.

[Frenchsoup]

That last breaking ball was nasty. I want Norris and Estrada in the rotation.

[ElNik2013]

Maybe framing doesn't work against them Yanks!

[Orgfiller]

Goins gets a seeing-eye single just past the shortstop.

[KingKat]

He was also the beneficiary of a great defensive play. Overall, he really looks the part of Major League pitcher with occasional flashes of brilliance.

[baubau]

Holy f***, I am starting to hate the Martin signing. Just because every time we play the Yanks now Buck will talk about how big Jeter was for Martin.

[Orgfiller]

Martin falls behind 0-2, Goins gets thrown out trying to steal second.

[KingKat]

Goins caught stealing.

[KingKat]

Martin called out looking.

[Orgfiller]

Martin called out on a pitch that Norris didn't get all day.

[bronson44]

Umps in mid-season form already

[Inklink]

Seligbrunner umps reporting for duty already.

[skicross1]

Questionable call on the caught stealing

[KingKat]

Travis his a soft liner to 2B, inning over.

[Orgfiller]

Travis hits a weak line drive into the hands of the 2B, inning over.

[Laika]

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

 

Not a wow outing!?!?!?

 

I beg to differ. He has been sublime.

 

Pitching with some type of small bleeding injury, he's shown 60 grade stuff across the board. Left a couple of breaking balls up early but then found his release point and pumped curves and sliders in and around the zone. Blew fastballs by some real major leaguers. I think he got hit hard once, but Pompey caught it in the gap.

 

I don't want to bee too optimistic but honestly, he looks like a potential strong #2 right now. Not very many lefties are out there with his type of velocity, off speed stuff, and refinement. He could be Cole Hamels.

it looked like the right call though

A couple Yankee regulars looked overmatched. Norris looked great today.

 

edit: looks..still in the game

[Orgfiller]

Norris back out for the 4th!

[KingKat]

Announcers confirm that the blood is from the thumb as Norris comes out for another inning and gets his 4th strikeout.

[Orgfiller]

Norris gets ahead of Beltran, he gets him to swing through a high fastball for another strikeout.

[Orgfiller]

A-Rod hits a deep line drive to the RF wall, Gindl plays it nicely and holds him to a single.

I love that you're the one fluffing him and not me. I do like what I'm seeing from both him and Pompey.

[bronson44]

That curve was a strike

[Orgfiller]

Norris gets squeezed on one of the pitches, he walks the hitter.

[Orgfiller]

Norris' day is over.

[Laika]

He's a major league ready potential #2 SP (IMO).

 

Urias is a year away but he's a potential #1 SP (apparently).

[Orgfiller]

Gregory Infante the new pitcher.
