Guerrieri and McGuire finished up well.

[Spanky99]

Feel bad for Rowdy... must be tough man.

Lol..

I hope Grichuk stays healthy this year, he's going to be a vital piece.

No doubt, was a really nice grab. Hernandez/Alford and Grandy off to good starts to the spring, great depth.

i hope Alford (or Pompey or TEoscar) is given the chance to be the starter in CF. Pillar just gives up way too much at the plate. Plus i think his defense (look at the metrics) is only average and we will see a decline as he ages

[Spanky99]

Pearce rips a double off the wall... Pillar follows up with a basehit up the middle, Pearce scores... 1-0 Jays.

 

Happ gives up his 1st run of the Spring on a Rodriguez dinger to CF. 1-1

 

Happ's line 2 IP, 1 ER, 1 hit, 0 BB, 3 K's... on the spring... 3 IP, 1 ER, 2 hits, 0BB, 5 K's... nice start.

 

Rhimer Cruz pitching NRI guy... throws hard mid 90's, but suxxxxxxxx... line 1 IP, 0 ER, O hits, 1 BB, O K's

 

Breslow used as a loogy, gets a flyout, Alburquerque on the bump... 0.2 IP 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's lulz Gibby in the Booth?

 

Santos on the bump... 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 hits, 0 BB's, 0 K's

 

Grandy's walked twice, Pillar with his 3rd basehit, good day from them.

 

Rowley on the bump... Bucs take the lead... HBP/SB/SF 1 out, basehit scores run. HBP, Rowley suxxxxxx...

 

Nice defensive play by Maile and Gift 2-4-3 DP.

 

Case on the bump... Pirates stud Meadows crushes a 2 run jack! 4-1 Bucs!

 

Fernandez on the bump... nice clean inning, this guy could be something in a year or 2 hits 93 as a LHP, been impressive early on here in ST. 1 IP, 0 ER, 0 hits, 0 BB's and a swinging K.

 

Ballgame. 4-1 loss.

lulz... that ain't happening man. Not this season, anyhow.

[Spanky99]

I have a feeling these 3 guys will be the radio broadcast, not bad at all. Rob Fai/Mike Wilner play by play and Ben Wagner as colour.

Yeah these guys aren't too shabby. SSS but from what I have listened to they might a little understated, perhaps some would say a little bit boring, but they don't say anything stupid.

They're Bison announcers I believe, at least Wagner is.

Acuna home run against the Yankees: https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/03/02/1879674483/1520014966277/asset_2500K.mp4

 

What a pretty swing

[CraigG]

Is this our triple A line up?

Pillar is batting .875. This will clearly be his breakout season offensively.

Haha, he just hit a homerun too. If only spring training counted for something!

Watch and learn, folks.

[Spanky99]

I don't like hearing these guys keep saying Sanchez keeps looking at his fingertips, hope it's nothing.

Impossible to tell whether it's because it's started to hurt, or it's just habit - either of which is plausible.

That's what I'm hoping, mate, habit. Great appearance, all being told.

[Spanky99]

Borucki got rekt!

[Bobthe4th]

Wilner says Sanchez is very happy with his outing and no mention of his finger

[Bobthe4th]

Though he also said none of the reporters specifically asked about blisters

[Spanky99]

Yeah, was just going to post this. The pitch got away as Martin went to a change when he started his delivery, makes sense.

[Spanky99]

Jays hitting Duffey hard, even the Solarte out was roped. Martin goes yard for a 3 run bomb. 8-5 Jays!

 

Wow step away for a minute and Barnes got Rekt! 8-8

Carrera is on! Must be a bit weird for him.

[G-Snarls]

Am I the only one who thinks there's a good chance that Sanchez pitches 180+ innings this year?

[P2F]

Am I the only one who thinks Sanchez will probably actually pitch 180+ innings this year?

 

Yes. I would advise highly against the Jays allowing him to pitch that many innings a season removed from only pitching 44 innings in total.

[THANOS]

Am I the only one who thinks Sanchez will probably actually pitch 180+ innings this year?

 

No, I think he will too. I'm an ultra optimist.
