GDT: Spring Training

[Spanky99]

Spring troubles, no big deal.

[Spanky99]

Captain Kirk!!! What the f*** just happened???

[JaysAllMighty]

So if the ball is batted on the ground behind home plate and rolls ahead it's still a fair ball? Did not know that.

[JaysAllMighty]

Get it out of your system now Berrios

[Ryu In My House]

Do you all think Greg Bird has a chance to stick? He's intriguing all right. Might be a good lefty DH and backup 1B. I would rather carry him than Reese as the 3rd catcher. He seems to be getting lots of looks, anyway.

Sure, why not.

[Krylian]

Holy s***, Espinal!

 

What a frozen rope.

[Spanky99]

That right there was a missile!

[JaysAllMighty]

Espinal > JRam

[Spanky99]

El Capitan looks great at the plate.

With the 28 man roster in April, there's a good chance he'll make the team (assuming they want to make the 40 man roster move). It'll at least give the brass a month to watch him.

I can see it but how much playing time

 

DH vs some RHP when Kirk is catching?

Give Vladdy one day off a month?

Pinch hitter for.... I don't even know who you'd pinch hit him for in this lineup other than Jansen

 

Can he play OF at all??

For some f***ed up reason they want to hang onto Reese *fist of fury* McGuire, I'd take Bird all day over him.

Pitchers like Berrios don't care about ST results. Just want to get the reps in. He's probably working on some things, and doesn't care if he gets hit.

@Wilnerness

 

Berríos said he barely threw his “curveball/slider, whatever you want to call it” today, since he feels like he has it going well. Says his body feels great and believes he’ll be good for 85ish pitches on opening day. #Bluejays.

@Wilnerness

 

Berríos added that he told Santiago Espinal that he wanted today to be more of a practice day, but #Phillies started Schwarber/Segura/Harper/Realmuto/Hoskins/Gregorius/Bohm. “Those guys, they’re gonna try to kill us” #Bluejays

[Krylian]

Lol. Nice call, ump.

[G-Snarls]

Lol. Nice call, ump.

 

Umps also not in mid season form

[Krylian]

Umps also not in mid season form

 

I believe that is mid season form. We just don't have instant replay to call on yet.

[Spanky99]

Again, Orelvis looks ready. Wow!

[THANOS]

Yeah, I don't want to trade Orelvis or Gabby, hold onto them please.

[L54]

What did Elvis do today?

[THANOS]

What did Elvis do today?

 

To the moon

Keep keep keep

 

We have to pay Bo and Vlad real money eventually, having cheap young talent will help immensely

Jayson Stark

@jaysonst

 

I don't like to overreact to early spring training looks, but Blue Jays phenom Orelvis Martinez: Wow.

 

Just fired his second rocket HR in 8 spring ABs.

 

Took BP the other day with Vlad & Bo Bichette - "and the sound off the bat sounded just like those guys," said Charlie Montoya

[L54]

Keep keep keep

Yes. No rush to move these guys for Ramirez

 

Can fix 2B if needed with a cheaper stop gap in the summer.

[Daniel Labude]

[L54]

Hang and bang baby!!

[BCZ]

I hope Kirk monster is going to get every day ABs

[John_Havok]

I hope Kirk monster is going to get every day ABs

 

With expanded rosters in April i think it's pretty much guaranteed he will be - unless Morontoyo does what he does best and make dumb lineup decisions.
