Official Spring Training 2021 GDT/discussion thread

[Jays24]

You only watch the Blue Jays? There have been games on starting at 1PM through to 10PM all week. Put on your Big Boy pants and watch the Phillies/Pirates.

 

Spring training is usually painful to watch but I'm excited to see the Jays in action. There is 0 excitement to see majority of other teams half ass it unless it's our guys lol.

Day to day

Day to day

 

This does not sound like day to day...

 

"Our goal and hope is that you're seeing him again here in spring training pretty quickly," Atkins added. "But we will be cautious because we can and we'll make sure that that pain is completely gone before he's back on the mound. Whether that's a week or a couple of weeks or longer is too hard to say at this point."

I'm hoping it's rest for 2 weeks and resume baseball activities and by the time he ramps up maybe he only misses one start. The worst thing you could do is push it and re-aggravate it and we lose him till June. Regardless, we could use Odorizzi!

Odorizzi to the Astros.

Is there any chance we see Manoah this year if he's performing well?

Possibly as a reliever down the stretch.

According to MLB Gameday Chatwood has thrown 14 pitches and hasn't used a FB. Is that normal for him or maybe he is just getting a feel for his secondary pitches?

[Jays24]

Roark with 2 shutout innings. He should love the deadened ball. We got ourselves our number 2 starter baby lol.

[Jays24]

Bo singles and scores Springer from 2nd.

Gameday for ST is quite inaccurate.

I think he started yesterday or the day before so he does exist.

Another note is Vladito started at the hot corner today.

Yeah...I blame myself...the site asked some questionable questions in which I should have ignored

Wonder if he got any balls hit to him. He's always had a great arm and with his his improved speed/agility, he's only got his glove to worry about now lol.

In the first inning, that's when I realized he was playing there.

Oh. His glove. Is that all?

[Jays24]

"Lol" was used to signify the same thing. I was trying to be positive about him improving his mobility and making it one less concern about his defense. Still has a very important aspect remaining Lol.

[saskjayfan]

Nice to see the big Diesel get off to a solid start. We're going to need some good innings from him this year.

And he needs to deal with lots of ground balls whether he's going to play first or third...

[G-Snarls]

Unless Roark is pitching

[Jays24]

Ya but at 1st, we need to worry about whether he knows when to go for balls and when to cover his bag. Oh and catching pop ups should also be added to that list. Things I never thought a major leaguer would have to prove lol.

Roark only broke 90 mph once. It appears he's still looking for the velocity he lost last season.

I'd rather he found location than velocity. He just needs to command his pitches.
