GDT @ Phillies 1pm.. MLB Network TV

[HERPDERP]

Goins as a backup infielder going forward isn't so bad. Well at least after this season

[gruber92]

Hernandez hits a hard ground ball on a hit and run to 2B. Goins makes a fantastic play to stop and short hop the ball behind him and throw the runner out at first. Runners advance, one out.

[intentional wok]

Was that the Zelda treasure jingle that played when Phillies got that run?

[gruber92]

Ground out to Goins at 2B, runner scores from third. Two out.

 

6-3 Jays.

hahaha, I thought I was the only one that heard that. phillies spring training confirmed best sound guy

[gruber92]

Garcia grounds out to 2B. Inning over.

 

6-3 Jays after 8.

 

Travis to start 75-80% of the games at 2B, with Goins being the back up middle infielder to start the year people.

[flafson]

Could someone please explain to me, why does someone in the dugout always throws a ball to the first basement after the 3rd out? It's like he has a ball in his hand and they give him another one and he sometimes throws one of them to the crowd.

[gruber92]

Kawasaki grounds out to 3B.

it's almost funny how much confusion the izturis injury has settled.

[gruber92]

Thole grounds out to 2B. Two out. What a swing..

[gruber92]

Gindl grounds out to 1B. Inning over.

 

6-3 Jays.

What a breath of fresh air.

[gruber92]

Delebar pitching.

[S33n]

I really wanted Delabar to step back up to the plate this year, he could be a huge boost to the 'pen.

[gruber92]

Phelps K's swinging on a nasty split. One out.

[intentional wok]

Not that I think Delabar should be in the closer's role, but the Phillie announcer's reasoning that "he only has one career save" is exceedingly stupid.

[gruber92]

Mastro K's looking on a fastball painted on the outer edge. Two out.

[S33n]

DELABAR! Very nice

[gruber92]

Bogusetic K's looking on a 0-2 fastball on the outer half. Delebar three up three down with 2K.

 

GAME OVER..

 

6-3 Jays.

[StroShow]

Good s*** from Delabar

[intentional wok]

Lol GDT says Delabar threw 3 pitches perfectly down the middle to K Bogu looking

 

The ST Gameday interns aren't paid to be precise. Every K or BB looks like that.

[glory]

So Cecil, Loup, Delabar, Redmond, Estrada, and Hynes are the locks or near locks, right?

 

That leaves one spot open for Castro, unless there's another pitcher in low-A with no pro experience that AA likes better.

why is hynes a lock? has he been that good this spring?

[closetjaysfan]

why is hynes a lock? has he been that good this spring?

 

He has been pretty good, but I dont know how he can be a lock either.

[glory]

why is hynes a lock? has he been that good this spring?

 

Based on some Tweets. Seems like he's a likely candidate to make it. But he's more of the "near lock" I mentioned, while the others are more certain. If they want to carry a 3rd lefty, for whatever reason, it's either Hynes or Francis, and we need Francis as SP depth. I'm going to guess Hynes makes it.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

I love Castro but still would like to see him in the minors!

 

See the bullpen of Redman, Estrada, Loup, Delbar, Cecil, Hynes, Schutz and Barnes gives 4Rh n 4 LH arms!

 

But what excites me is Spring Training 2016! Lol

 

Dickey gone and Hutch, Stroman,Norris,Shanchez,Castro,Osuna and Hoffman fighting it out for Five spots! Fap fap fap ooh!

sigh, this is not a good bullpen, not even by a long shot

Still a chance they send Norris to Buffalo for a month and give Estrada the 2 or 3 starts they need out of the #5 slot in April.

 

Drabek is out of options so they can either say bye or give him a spot. Same with Hendriks and Barnes.

 

I'm hoping Bo Schultz cracks the pen somehow (I was also hoping that Lopez would look good and grab a spot).

 

Jenkins should have no chance of cracking it given his role (redundant) + his options remaining.

Lopez sent to minors today.

[Laika]

I know, that's why I said I was hoping.

 

If I were still hoping then I would have said I am hoping.

 

Thus concludes today's lesson.
