Liriano did walk 2 but still good nonetheless. Not sure to get excited or realize that we faced the Orioles lol.

Knowing how competitive Romano is, he's probably pissed he gave up the no hitter. 3 strike outs probably wasn't enough for him...lol

Spring training doesn't really tell us anything other than who is healthy and who is not.

It shows the will of diversity Shatkins is implementing. That's what this means.

I wouldn't read too much into it. Davis will be in CF if he ever starts, so that's all this is.

[Laika]

I don't think today's game is on TV but I believe there is a NYY audio feed. Might be a good one to follow. I suppose the static video feed will be up though? I might try to get the NYY audio to line up with that video.

 

Manoah vs. Deivi Garcia

 

Then SWR, CJ Van Eyk, and Adam Kloffenstein all slated to throw per twitter people.

Share the audio, please. I think this would be the site, but the schedule shows different...

Wow Manoah

 

He's mowing them down, man. Love it!

 

6 faced 5 K's, lol.

[Laika]

Holy s***.

 

Manoah showing more than just the fastball slider today... Although I'm not sure he needs much more.

[Jays24]

Theyre getting Springer ready for when Martin takes over CF in a few years

Alek Manoah's 5 strikeouts through two innings against the Yankees:

 

Voit: Swinging (slider)

Bruce: Swinging (slider)

Frazier: Swinging (fastball)

Dietrich: Swinging (changeup)

Higashioka: Swinging (slider)

 

Yeesh. #BlueJays

[Stangstag]

Actually works very well if you line up the NY radio feed with the Jays cam

[THANOS]

Holy s***.

I saw curveball once on GameDay when I just opened it. Is he throwing changeups as well?

 

I'm not listening but it read like he's dominating and painting corners for swinging strikes

He has shown the curve, change, and two seamer. Got a K on the change

[bones10]

Manoah is better than Roark

[Spanky99]

7 straight K's... Holy f***!

[Daniel Labude]

Manoah looking great

 

Vlad with an amazing play to save a terrible throw by Bo

[saskjayfan]

7 straight K's... Holy f***!

 

Man..maybe Manoah is our quick to the majors stud starter! It's a shame we lost a minor league season last season.

[Laika]

Amazing showing for Manoah.

 

Plus fastball that he can pour into the zone or throw up for whiffs. Might play up above velocity due to extension or deception?

Possibly double-plus slider. A dominant pitch.

 

He threw changeups (4), curveballs (3), and two seamers (9) today too. None of them impressed much. He had trouble commanding all three. The changeup did get a strikeout whiff and flashed potential there. I think he got two groundouts on the two seamer which I guess showed some utility. Tendency to hang the change, hang the curve, and spike the two seamer in the dirt.

 

The thing is the FB and SL combo is so good that he doesn't need a third plus pitch; he just needs enough diversity to help the FB+SL play up. He might throw 50% FB, 35% SL, and sprinkle in the rest.

[Laika]

SWR is going to have to get by on plus pitchability or some kind of weaponized off speed stuff because his fastball is very average. I don't see him as a high upside arm, perhaps more of a potential 4th or 5th SP like Kay and Hatch.
