Well that's all fine and dandy but every time I order an iced tea up there it tastes like someone dumped half a bag of sugar in it. Up there and in the South are the only places I have to specify that I want unsweet tea.

 

come to my house in the summer, the wife makes a great real iced tea with lemon, no sugar

[el duque]

RBI opportunity for Grichuk

Making him work

yes and then i spike it with some rum

[bones10]

Sanchez really isn't enjoyable to watch, seems like he just heaves it in there with no real purpose or control.

[el duque]

nothing happens this guy has power and he will get his occasional HR

[bones10]

Curve is looking alright though.

[Jimcanuck]

Sanchez is not going to bring his A game every time

 

Also, it's April

[BTS]

Nice to see him throwing it more. I was thinking he might be laying off it to save his fingers from blistering.

[Jonn]

Just getting in. Not a fan of them moving Granderson out of the lead off spot. He was a catalyst last night and has been hitting balls hard. While Travis has been scuffling. Would have been good opurtunity to hit him lower in the lineup until he warms up.

 

I understand why Gift is playing over Solarte tho.

[bones10]

Any chance Estrada helped out Sanchez with his Changeup or does that type of thing not happen.

[Omar]

Martin should get half the credit for that last strikeout. #framing

I'd love to hear the reasoning.

You are right, Travis is struggling, Granderson should lead off this team

[Jonn]

Well if he can help him I’m sure he would. But its usually not as simple as telling him to hold the ball a different way. Estrada explained in Spring how he mastered “killing” his lower half. So he’s throwing changeups like his fastball as hard as he can he just doesn’t have nearly as much behind the pitch.

 

I doubt that formula works for everyone and I would imagine that would be difficult to command.

[Jonn]

Ground ball pitcher on the mound. Want your best defensive infield. Pretty simple really. Solarte can play SS in a pinch but not nearly as well as Gift can.

[King]

I can't believe MLB.TV got rid of the quad screen function. How am I supposed to watch more than one game at once?

Solarte can play SS. He can't do it well but he can do it. Did it nearly 30 times last year. If you factor in hitting, defense, baserunning, and whatever else makes up the value of a player, Solarte is the better player at SS. The best player should play, not the best defensive player.

 

I bet you if Solarte played a full season at SS and Gift did as well that Solarte would end up with a positive WAR and Gift would have a negative one. Solarte is probably at least a win better actually.

 

But it's whatever. It's not a decision that will make or break the game I just wish they'd field the best team they could.

[King]

one game in your TV the other in your lap top

I don't have a TV

[Daniel Labude]

Needs hits asap

[Jimcanuck]

those waffle double downs look amazing

[Daniel Labude]

I don't have a TV

 

Use your phone for the other

[Omar]

Travis hasnt even played in six games yet. Gibby would never move a player down the lineup based on 18 AB's it's stupid and messes up the mental state of the player.

[P2F]

I had black coffee for breakfast, so as to not break my fast.

 

Edit: Go Jays.

[labadee]

lol

[5ToolPhenom]

There's a break! Totally thought it was a moonshot by the way Martinez called it.

[Terminator]

Let's cash him in.

[EdwinsParrot]

Bring em home
