Wow Matt Moore. Back from exile.

[Ex Player]

Matz 3 innings, 1 hit, 0 walks, 0 runs, 3K's, 43 pitches, 31 strikes

[Stangstag]

No sound on the stream?

This CF camera is going to be great to watch for home games.

 

It's such a better experience clearly seeing the movement on pitches.

Chatwood just undressed Odubel Herrera.

This game is flying, man.

We need you in BBDL. I think.

[Spanky99]

Bird's pitching has been slick!

[Spanky99]

What was this game scheduled for 7 or 9? If 7 this is over.

 

lol

Bird's pitching has been slick!

 

YUP, the ZERO BBs stand out for me.

[Spanky99]

Warmoth and Smith crushing it!

[z3r0s]

this lack of ST audio is killing my baseball boner. The real thing can't start soon enough

[Spanky99]

Cool, looks like 9 innings.

[Spanky99]

Borucki! Woohoo!

[Ray]

Borucki sitting 96-97 mph with the sinker, and then drops an 88 mph change. Just unfair lol

[Spanky99]

Alvarado's stuff is so daunting, he'll never get to it, he doesn't really know where anything is going.

[Laika]

Jose Alvarado is like the same pitcher as Borucki. Maybe a slightly more extreme version of the power sinker lefty.

[Ray]

Groshans actually got good wood on that 99 mph sinker (off the bat at nearly 100 mph exit velo).

 

I've been impressed with his approach as well, and he seems to do well against velocity even when overmatched.

You think? Borucki has more control, no?

[Ray]

Romano in throwing absolute heat.

 

This bullpen is stacked. David Phelps is going to be pitching the 6th inning lol. Haven't even see Yates yet!

[Orgfiller]

You think? Borucki has more control, no?

 

It remains to be seen if fireballer Borucki out of the bullpen has much control of his stuff. He certainly didn't last season.

[Orgfiller]

Romano's stuff is filthy, literally Ken Giles-esque. These hitters are guessing up there and they simply cannot touch him.

[Laika]

You think? Borucki has more control, no?

 

We will see. He might but last year he was wild as f***.

[Orgfiller]

Ok come on now. Borucki is a 3 pitch lefty holding 97. What are we doing with this guy?

 

Borucki has quite the injury history and he's clearly throwing max effort all the time out of the bullpen, otherwise he wouldn't be throwing 97 and not knowing where it's going. I'm not sure he would've been average as a starter or if he could handle the workload. He's fine in his current role, maybe push him to be a 2-3 inning reliever but the stuff might not hold for that long.

[The Iceman]

Romano rushing...much quicker delivering after the squat.

 

out of rhythm

[Spanky99]

I'm glad we received that, feed. I'll take it every home date at Dunedin.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Romano Ks three in the 9th.

 

13 Ks and only 1 BB for the staff today. All MLB regulars more than likely.

 

Impressive work.

[Ray]

Great pitching today. It's only Spring Training, but everyone was throwing strikes and throwing hard. It's what you want to see

ST bruh...
