Official Spring Training 2021 GDT/discussion thread

[Laika]

If you assume the Springer shot went 380 feet (Statcast missed it) the Blue Jays hit flyballs a combined 1,753 feet off Michael Fulmer in that inning.

 

Biggio and Bichette both had long flyouts, 330 feet.

I'm assuming Roark comes out for the 3rd... 2 IP 1 hit 0 ER 0 BB 3 K's

[Deadpool]

Grich gave that a ride too...

[Spanky99]

Captain Kirk!!!

[Spanky99]

Big Diesel... cruisin' 3 IP, 1 Hit, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's

[Spanky99]

Fulmer was destroyed, lol. This guy, not much better... Boom Grichuk!

[Deadpool]

10-0 in the 3rd inning. Are they still allowed to cut games short, 'cause I feel like that will happen...

Yes, but they'll want the pitchers scheduled to get work in.

[Spanky99]

Kirby Yates is in...

 

Yates suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Spanky99]

What happened there... a duck snort?

[AdamGreenwood]

Skubal is going to put an end to the HR derby.

[Spanky99]

I did not think Tarik Skubal was white?

 

I know, I know... *thatsracistgif*

[Orgfiller]

Yup. Little flare into RF, could hardly tell what was happening but seemed like RF'er had a play on it and just missed.

That's what I figured, just by the reaction of Yates, he thought it was going to be caught.

Who's umpiring? Gameday suggests that a ball that was in the opposite batters box was just called a strike against Teo...

 

Edit: Well, Gameday has that information so I'm kinda an idiot... Also, who the f*** is Roberto Ortiz?

[Spanky99]

A bunch of subs came in, and Mayza on the bump.

 

Mayza K's big Tork!

[Orgfiller]

Tim Mayza just mowed down the Tigers.

Kirk keeps stretching out his right leg.

 

It looks like he might have tweaked his groin.

This is really gonna hamper his base stealing abilities.

[Orgfiller]

Vladdy is roping the ball to all fields.

[Spanky99]

That was Vlad's softest hit ball on all his AB's at 107.9

[Spanky99]

Skubal looks good, he went through all our tough hitters unscathed, save for Vladdy.

[AdamGreenwood]

Imagine being the Tigers management and planning to start the season with Fulmer in the rotation, and leaving out Skubal, Manning and Mize.

[Jays24]

This Blue Jays lineup will be so fun to watch man. Can't wait.

[G-Snarls]

111.2

20 degree LA

412 feet

 

that's the good stuff

 

Yes. I could handle seeing that 40 or so times this year

 

[Spanky99]

Ty Tice getting rekt.

[Spanky99]

I guess that's game over.

On top of his work today, we learned in yesterday’s intrasquad game, Vlad hit a pair of homers. So, that mid-March timing is coming along nicely. #bluejays

[saskjayfan]

Is there anyone out there that still thinks Kirk belongs in AAA to start the season..lol.

[Orgfiller]

Does anyone believe this? I think most people just want Kirk to have frequent ABs which he might not get if he's the backup to Danny Jansen who we shouldn't be completely writing off just yet.
