Still early in spring but I am not sure the Jays will ever put out a lineup that disappoints.

 

So far really enjoying Lukes. He can play CF as well. AND yes he swings from that funny side of the plate.

[Spanky99]

Not sure if serious...

Manoah isn't looking sharp so far today.

[Spanky99]

Keep flying Birdy!

[Deadpool]

This is a freaking awful broadcast.

[Spanky99]

Perfect execution on that relay.

[Spanky99]

Big Nate sighting!

[Spanky99]

Attaboy Captain, nice seed.

[Deadpool]

Nice recovery after the walk there Nate!

[Deadpool]

I guess they're saving time by having the post-game show during the actual game. I mean, it makes watching the game insufferable, but at least everyone gets to go home early!

[Spanky99]

Fly Birdy Fly!!!

[Stangstag]

Kirk is smacking baseballs hard

[Stangstag]

Orelvissss

[Spanky99]

Martinez looks like he belongs, he's going to have a big year.

[G-Snarls]

Martinez looks like he belongs, he's going to have a big year.

 

Gonna tear up AA and bang on the door next year

[Spanky99]

Big Nate is bringing it, wow!!!

[Deadpool]

2 innings for Nate, 4 Ks.

I'm happy they gave him 2, keep him stretched out to start ideally... Looked really sharp.

[THANOS]

Pearson is looking disgusting and the fastball looked more in the zone. Let's hope he keeps this up.

Hombre can hit

[G-Snarls]

OMG yes

 

Does he still have a shot at the rotation or does the org see him as a reliever now?

 

His pedigree as a prospect prob means they try him as a SP again does it not?

[Laika]

they are stretching him out but someone needs to get hurt for him to start

[Deadpool]

I mean, nice hit, but why is Santiago Espinal given the green light 3-0?

[Krylian]

OMG yes

I think he's the first to step in should a starter get injured. Jays will probably try to make him the primary Stripling this year and get him 100 innings.

[43211234]

Espinal hit that single 106.2 mph.

 

His career high at the majors is 104.2. The offseason 'roids are paying off.

[THANOS]

OMG yes

His pedigree as a prospect prob means they try him as a SP again does it not?

 

I think they'll definitely keep him stretched out. From their perspective, if Ryu or Kikuchi go down, who do you want starting in their place?

 

Pearson or Stripling/Kay/Hatch?

 

I would think they'd prefer Pearson, if he's still with the team.

 

Off-topic, but I've really liked what I've seen of Greg Bird in the 1st couple games. He's had really good swing decisions and a great eye. Any chance he could make the team? We do need someone to cover 1B any time Vlad needs a day off or DHs. And, as discussed previously, Bird did have a ton of potential at one point before injuries derailed him.
