ST GDT: Jays @ Phillies (March 25 at 6:35 ET)

[Jonn]

They have a top 5 farm, several good young players at the major league level and a ton of money coming off the payroll with no cap system. Tell me again how bad their future is?

 

I didn't mention the future I was more so taking about the present. Thats a very inpatient fan base. The Sixers have had top picks for years and still suck. Embid hasn't played yet, Saric is in Europe, and Noel is what he is. As for the Phillies its still going to take some time. Especially if this is their opening day starter.

[JFD]

Meh, he is what he is, for years now. It's not like we're assessing a young late inning pen arm. Counting and using swings and misses on an established pitcher is a horrible way to watch a game, imo anyway. Total K's vs walks is obviously a different story.

 

STFU please

[West Texas Forever]

Why did ceciliani stop there? Wouldn't that be a force play?

 

Maybe a polite spring training gesture.

f*** those fans, they turn on everyone. Piece of s*** city

[Atothe]

I'm glad Hellickson is doing bad

[West Texas Forever]

Philly is actually a pretty fun city to check out and party in. Cheap and has a lot of history.

[G-Snarls]

They're pronouncing Goins wrong

 

Like Coins

 

(Which TBH is how I thought it was pronounced until he got called up for the first time)

[dineke]

they throwing their pitcher with the bad back up to bat?

[West Texas Forever]

Good, he didn't even swing.

[Slade]

Pretty good at bat from Goins, he took some close pitches.

[Atothe]

Devon hurry up and get healthy

[JFD]

they throwing their pitcher with the bad back up to bat?

 

looks like he was told not to swing lol

[Jonn]

2 of those pitches looked like balls lol.

[HERPDERP]

Is this guy Matt stairs?

[burlingtonbandit]

2 of those pitches looked like balls lol.

 

Ump just did everyone a favour lol.

[Slade]

looks like he was told not to swing lol

 

Good managing then.

[gruber92]

Swings and misses are very important Gruber, they tell you about the quality of the stuff. Stop being ignorant

 

Then at the same token, called strikes should be looked upon as a positive also. The fact that people down play Sanchez's caught looking K's is equally ignorant, unless they think the location on those K's were just pure luck with no skill involved.

[Angrioter]

Im sick of ST ball

[Jonn]

If the NL team wants to use their pitcher to hit fine but the AL team should still have the option to use DH because its Spring who cares.

[Jonn]

Ump just did everyone a favour lol.

 

Estrada probably told him to strike him out lol.

[gruber92]

Why did ceciliani stop there? Wouldn't that be a force play?

 

Wanted to avoid the tag running by and force them to turn it.

[G-Snarls]

Is this guy Matt stairs?

 

Probably yes

 

He's their regular color guy I think

[HERPDERP]

This umpire sucks

[G-Snarls]

And yes it's Stairs. Looking fat AF.

[Angrioter]

Estrada looking good so far

[G-Snarls]

Estrada looking good so far

 

Yeah, was worried him only getting 3 starts in ST but he looks allright

[Jonn]

If Estrada needs some extra time always can take advantage of the early off days. I want to see Stroman start both the the season opener and home opener.

[HERPDERP]

Atrocious ump

[burlingtonbandit]

Nice to see JD hit the ball hard. Feel like his timing has been off all spring.

[JFD]

ump in mid season form.
