Baseball Savant can't figure out that Milone's 83 MPH fastball from a 77 changeup. Edited March 17, 2021 by Spanky99

[Spanky99]

That ball was way outside? Didn't think we'd see a pitching duel through 4, with these lineups.

 

Biggio's E-5 cost a run.

I didn't see the error but this is my worst nightmare come true. Hope it was a Spring Training error than an ability error lol.

[Jays24]

No hit through 5 innings. Just put in Vladdy to fix the situation

Biggio's fine at 3rd, get over it, man.

Via #BlueJays, Thomas Hatch left the game with right elbow/forearm discomfort. Team says it will have more info once "additional imaging" is done.

You are the king of overreactions.

[Spanky99]

Damn, thought Groshans hit one out there.

[glory]

Sucks about Hatch. Thought he'd be a rotation contributor this season. Hopefully his injury is not too bad but sounds like it probably is. Pitching depth can deteriorate instantly in this league so you can never be satisfied.

[Spanky99]

Ballgame... well, that was uneventful, aside from some good pitching. Looked like Hatch is f***ed. *fingers crossed*

[Jays24]

This is because I already have a preconceived notion on this topic. It was a lighthearted overreaction though. I'm not actually freaking out over a spring training error lol.

Don't worry about it. Skinny Vladdy can take over 3B if Biggio flops.

Oh so you don't overreact much. Right. Got it.

[Olerud363]

Can you tell if the new ball is significantly different? It is supposed to be a bit less lively. Is playing that way? Balls you think should be homers are not?

 

Or are they even using the new ball yet? I thought I might of heard they use up left overs from last year first.

[Krylian]

See you in 2022 Hatchie.

Sounds like Charlie is still feeling guilty over the Giles situation!

As he should. Everyone knew something was wrong but the person who mattered lol.

[Stangstag]

Lol yeah looks like some slight shade towards Giles. Its both of their faults though, Giles for being a dummy and Charlie for not having a set of balls

Burn him at the stake

Did Moreno get into many games this spring?

6 games, 8 AB's 1 hit 1 K... he seemed to have a pretty good approach from what little I saw.

 

Groshans looked lost, he needs way more work.

He's 21 and hasn't played in two years, this goes without saying and shouldn't be that surprising.

 

Torkelson has 12 strikeouts in 23 PAs. A lot of these guys haven't played competitive games in a while, it might take some time for them to find their groove again.

I know, bro.

 

That was more for the Martin this year and Groshans next year crowd.

Or some of them just suck...not implying anything about these kids

Some of them do suck or will suck, but two weeks of Spring Training data isn't going to be what determines that.

That's not what I was doing, though? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
