GDT: ST Blue Jays @ Red Sox (March 19) 1:07pm - SN590

[xposbrad]

How many of Boston's regulars are in the lineup today, just to give us some perspective on the game?

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

I think Izturis gets the job out of ST.

 

What? Izturis can get the DFA the f*** out of here! Thank you, please !

[HERPDERP]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. You guys put way too much emphasis on the swinging strike crap.

 

I think it's pretty important to have a strikeout pitch - one that doesn't result in a hit ball that could move the runners or put an error in play.

I didn't say I wanted him on the team, I said he will get the job out of ST...

no.

Not many, but a few top prospects

Because the talent is "main thing" through a 162 games marathon. Swinging strikes is synonymous of talent.

Buehrle would disagree with this.

If they don't care about service time with practically every other young player on the team, then Travis should make the team out of Spring Training too. He is clearly better than Maicer.

[Dylan]

Travis with another extra base hit!

is it going to be the same deal with Travis as it is with Bryant - wait 9 days to call him up, otherwise you lose a year?

Sanchez will get by just fine by inducing weak contact and using the belt high four seamer as his K pitch. You don't need to have a greater than a K / inning ratio to be successful.

The kid can rake.

Witty little fella..

[Angrioter]

So what you're saying is that Sanchez has no talent?

 

Tools + results = Talent.

I think most would be happy with 7 or 7.5/9 if he can keep the GB rates up.

[King]

Weak contact isn't a real thing though. Do we really have to go through this again?

 

Yes!

[gruber92]

You trolling?

[gruber92]

You would think. That's not the case around these parts.

[S33n]

I would be happy with that too if he walks less than 3/9IP.

 

Just got in! How did Sanchez look??

[gruber92]

Like I said many times before, there are tons of successful pitchers with a less than K / inning career. Mariano Rivera is one of them. Imagine that, the best reliever in MLB history with a K rate lower than 9. Incredible s***.

Since being called up, he has. Let's see how it plays out.

[S33n]

He looked like s***. To many ground balls not enough swinging strikes. Probably should just release him.

 

Weak ground balls are fine by me. Seriously though, how did he look?

[LTR]

Pretty OK start for Sanchez I guess

[King]

Mike Wilner ‏@Wilnerness590 2m2 minutes ago

Nice grab by Roemon Fields in deep CF ends top8 with #Bluejays leading #Redsox 6-3. I almost expect to see him in Toronto this Sept. #Jays

 

 

 

not sure if srs Wilner

[King]

Unless he's referring to a Terrance Gore type thing

[Nafro]

So far this Spring Sanchez has had 2.0769 BB/9. Small sample size but that is acceptable.

[King]

I think he was referring to the Blue Jays calling up all there players from A Ball. It was his lame attempt at humour.

 

makes sense
