Danny Jansen starts the season with an oppo 1B down the first base line #BlueJays

Ryan Borucki perfect through 3. Up to 95 in the 3rd. Mixing and matching very well keeping everyone off-balance #BlueJays

 

 

All other games rained out. At least Jansen and Borucki came to play.

 

 

Notes from the MiLB (New feature this year!)

- Yankees RHP and top 100 MLB prospect James Kaprielian will start the season on the DL after feeling elbow soreness.

- Anderson Espinoza will start the season on the DL with forearm strain.

- Tim Tebow homered in his first real MiLB AB.

 

 

For tomorrow, Lansing is expected to play a doubleheader to makeup for todays rainout. Justin Maese will be on the mound in game 1. Both games will be on MiLB.TV. New Hampshire will play a single game that will feature premier RHP prospect Sean Reid-Foley, also on MiLB.TV. Jordan Romano will start in Dunedin and Buffalos projected SP has yet to be announced.

 

 

And your 2 stars of the game go to Borucki and Jansen. I can't bring myself to award a 3rd star for this type of performance.

Danny Jansen with the only three hits lol

 

Shoulda given the third start to Connor Fisk!

Why is Pentecost in Dunedin?

[Ray]

3K's by Biggio. Oof.

 

Excited to see Pentecost this season though. Big believer in the bat.

[Laika]

Pentecost is objectively an org guy now, right?

 

Year 3.5 of his pro career and he's still not catching.

Apparently he's gonna catch this season. It sucks because he was seen as the best pure catcher in the 2014 draft. Shoulder injuries are a bitch

[Laika]

Apparently he's gonna catch this season, but my bet is he'll be a converted 1B or an OF soon if his bat is good.

 

A conversion would make him an org guy - He plainly does not have the tools to be an MLB 1B or OF.

Yeah the not catching is only part of the problem. The plate discipline is horrible and the pick looks like a mistake regardless of the injury.
