2017 Blue Jays Spring Training thread

Doesn't mean much

 

Velo is down and he's walked more than he's struck out. I'd say thats a little concerning especially when you hear that he doesn't have the same life on his sinker.

[Belliss101]

I'm incredibly concerned

Is he pitching full out? Is he pitching with all his pitches? All of Spring training is used to work on certain things for certain pitchers....some just go full out as well, I'd assume they have Sanchez held back a little based on the huge increase in innings last season....if the problem remains evident come the regular season then it's time to be concerned

This is his 2nd last start of the spring... He should be ready to go

He could be ready to go but not going full out because there is no reason to...more concerning is Donaldson has more errors than hits

 

Edit: 2nd start lol...most pitchers pitch 4 or 5 times minimum

2nd last start, meaning he only has 1 more shot to refine things before the regular season begins.

Does Sanchez last until June for the TJS or does it come earlier?

Missed that, so he has 1 more start?...if so, let's see if he is more consistent then. How many times has he pitched this Spring...haven't been able to keep track much with he Florida Gators back in the NCAA Tournament

[Brownie19]

Walks are concerning though arent they?

 

Have they been competitive walks?

[closetjaysfan]

Walks are concerning though arent they?

 

Nah those are competitive walks...

 

That aside, I wont be super concerned unless he is still pitching like this mid-may

[closetjaysfan]

Have they been competitive walks?

 

Wow those posts were near simultaneous.

did he come out of the game with soreness?

I recognize Martin does a lot for the pitching staff and that he brings more value than his batting average implies, but his AB's have been pretty ugly this spring.

Pretty sure he was horrible first 2 months last year. Slow starter?

46.3% k rate last April. Man it was painful to watch.

[HERPDERP]

Sanchez says he has a blister

[RealAccountant]

The success has gone to Sanchez's head. He as become arrogant and thinks way too much of himself.

he was playing through injuries at the beginning of the season last year, something that hopefully won't happen with Salty here this year.

Why is he a doctor?

[G-Snarls]

Looks like the probable opening day lineup:

 

[HERPDERP]

Ugh Martin

[RealAccountant]

It just feels like Osuna is going to have a trip up this year. He has been far too good far too young.

[Stangstag]

Looks like the probable opening day lineup:

 

 

Almost perfect.

[z3r0s]

any word of Pompey is playing at all yet, or is he still dealing with the concussion?

[Laika]

Still not doing baseball stuff.

 

What a weird way to get a conky

[glory]

I know Upton's not popular, but him in left with Pearce at first is a much, much better lineup.

vs LHP yes.. Not so much against RHP.

I guess Morales has been crap at 1st base in workouts because they say he would get a string of playing time there to see what he can do but literally hasn't played the field once unless I'm missing something?

He played first against the Yankees the other day. He made an error, but the ball was well hit enough that I wouldn't have argued too much had they ruled it a hit.

he's actually played 1st a few times this spring. As we get closer though I can see why they feel its more important for Pearce to get the reps
