Nope listened on radio and followed on game day.

 

Josh Winckowzki also still going strong.

 

And Vlad has his first hit, single to left field

 

Edit: moves to third on a single from Williams and scores on a single from Warmoth.

Noda another RBI single. Wowsers. And add 2 stolen bases to that.

[tercet]

Tercet may implode

 

Naw he looked pretty meh, same problems he was having in AFL, but good start to the year.

[tercet]

 

Few clips of NP in that twitter thread

[BlueRocky]

The dude missed a whole year with a broken arm.

He made it out with a decent line and four limbs intact, I’m happy.

[BlueRocky]

Cal Stevenson with a 2 RBI double, after his solo homer and walk earlier.

Super small sample size but the dude looks like a stud.

He had 6 strikeouts and 1 walk over 5 innings while reportedly displaying elite stuff. This was an excellent outing.

[Laika]

Yeah, I think you might be dumb because I'm not having issues with any of those things. For gameday, try pressing the button that says "gameday"

 

I mean it's just an outside link - there is no in-app gameday.

Isn't Samad Taylor in Dunedin? Don't see him in the lineup, though maybe he's hurt or something.

[P2F]

This swing, the bat speed. My god.

[BlueRocky]

Josh Winckowzki gets out of bases loaded 5th.

 

5.0IP 2H 0BB 7K 0 ERA

 

Need to get our boy some run support

[BlueRocky]

Vladdy’s single

 

[Ray]

This swing, the bat speed. My god.

 

The swing and bat speed legitimately remind me of Bichette when he was in Lansing.

[Spanky__99]

Pearson missing on his fastballs alot high/arm side, same as AFL

So apparently Big Nate is too good for minor league umpires.

same with the catcher, 2b and cf

[BlueRocky]

According to Jim Tarabocchia the Dunedin broadcast guy it was a strike as well

[spats]

 

Was at the game yesterday. Biggio had quite a game..hit the ball hard every at bat and the home run was epic,off a lefty no less and a stolen base. Waguespack was very impressive, always around the plate with a 92-94 heater and a great slider that produced 8 K's.

Will be in Dunedin on Sunday to catch a few games down there.

[TheHurl]

Interesting of the notes from Opening day, just a 10 inning 1 hitter with no walks and 17k's between the two of them.

 

Clarke Schmidt, RHP, Yankees. The best pitching battle of the first day of the minor league season happened in the Florida State League. Schmidt actually slightly outdueled 2018 No. 1 pick Casey Mize. Schmidt didn’t allow a hit or a walk while striking out nine in five hitless innings.

 

Casey Mize, RHP, Tigers. It’s not like Schmidt massively outpitched Mize. Mize allowed one hit and no walks while striking out eight in five scoreless innings.

BlueJayMatt (Toronto): Prior to the draft Nate Pearson was said to have a plus changeup but post-draft I haven't heard much about it and most grades list it as average. Is this the case of the pitch backing up in pro ball, or the projections falling short?

 

Kyle Glaser: Projections falling short. Keep in mind almost no one in the minors (low minors especially) or coming out of the draft has a present, major league plus secondary. It's almost all projection, and sometimes those projections don't pan out. You'll also sometimes have amateur scouts grading things higher than pro scouts, which is a common occurrence. The pro scouts seeing how a pitch plays against actually pro hitters can get a better read on it.

[jays4life19]

V (Can): Sleeper prospect in the Jays farm that could move up?

 

Kyle Glaser: I've always kind of like Dom Abbadessa. Josh Norris would tell you to get on the Alejandro Kirk bandwagon.

[jays4life19]

I learned Dom Abbadessa was white yesterday. Who would have guessed.

[tercet]

Radio Scout, lol.

 

In most videos/clips of Pearson he is always missing up and up/away with his fastball. Sure its nice he can blow away crappy hitters who will chase this but vs better hitters it wont work.

 

Well guess what he gave up a hr last night on a high/missed location fastball vs some guy who is a career 255/324/361 hitter in the minors.

 

It's nice that he can throw hard, but he is a work in progress like most 22 year olds in the minors.

 

Remember process >>>>>> results.

wut about 2004 shaun marcum, 2006 jesse litsch, 2011 nestor molina in dunedin

I had a guy who worked for me called Mr. White, blackest guy you have ever seen. You never know....

[Olerud363]

wut about 2004 shaun marcum, 2006 jesse litsch, 2011 nestor molina in dunedin

 

Shaun Marcum 2004?? I don't even know which way you are going with that. His minor league results that year were OK. His major league results were fine. I can't think of a guy that stat-scouts better than Marcum. Minor league era was 3.24, major league era 3.93. Translated perfectly.

 

Jess Litsch 2006?? His ERA was 4.xx. Nothing spectacular in 2006, had a hot streak with weak peripherals in 2007, got called up, did exactly what his status would suggest for 2 years.. then blew out his arm. Or are you saying he was better than the minor league numbers?? Cuz he kind of was better than his 2006 numbers.

 

Nester Monlina ?? Was kind of good for one year, then sort of mediocre and injured.

 

Stats scouting would of worked for 2/3

[Jimcanuck]

4 PA for Groshans tonight, doulbe, single, two BB. Following on his 1 double and 1 BB in 5 PA yesterday. Promising start
