GDT: 1st Game of Spring Training 2023! Jays @ Pirates 2/25/23

[John_Havok]

Vladdy done after 2 PAs.

 

Double play and a bullet HR.

[BlueRocky]

Pitch clock pace is nice

[John_Havok]

Barger is a muscle dude. Reminds me of a bigger Lenny Dykstra.

 

He added a bunch of muscle since he was drafted. He was a skinny kid on drfat day

[John_Havok]

Pitch clock pace is nice

 

It's f***ing great. Anyone who doesn't like it is just plain wrong.

[JaysAllMighty]

they need that clock on the scoreboard

[John_Havok]

Good baserunning there by Joe.

[John_Havok]

I get the feeling it's "slider practice" day for the Jays pitchers.

[JaysAllMighty]

Good baserunning there by Joe.

 

and bad decision by Espinal

[polar bear]

Kikuchi's numbers. so good to see even if it's utterly meaningless

 

 

If it’s utterly meaningless,why do it ?

[John_Havok]

If it’s utterly meaningless,why do it ?

 

I mean the game is meaningless. His spin rates and other stuff are still really important

[G-Snarls]

We fixed Kikuchi

 

Someone buy Pete Walker a drink!

All spring training games have some meaning bud.

All spring training games have some meaning bud.

 

Please educate me. I've never actually watched baseball before today.

[King]

The game is not meaningless. Players are fighting for roster spots. Opportunities are limited.

[G-Snarls]

Thompson ERA 54

[Sammy225]

Someone buy Pete Walker a drink!

 

Some buy Pete a cab.

[JaysAllMighty]

Please educate me. I've never actually watched baseball before today.

 

Welcome to the big league bud

[BlueRocky]

2022 All-Star Santiago Espinal

[JaysAllMighty]

Espinal lets it fly

[John_Havok]

Espinal HR - 101.8 MPH, LA 26, Distance 347

 

The Espinal special!

[John_Havok]

Holy s*** Jay Jackson is still alive

[Laika]

Kikuchi got tons of whiffs but probably got bailed out of two walks by overaggressive Pirates

[Carlos Danger]

Is Steve the former ESPN announcer?

[John_Havok]

Kikuchi got tons of whiffs but probably got bailed out of two walks by overaggressive Pirates

 

Perhaps but both his slider(yellow) and change(green) were really good. Fastball (red) was about the norm.

 

[The_DH]

If it’s utterly meaningless,why do it ?

 

Such a high quantity of sliders.

[John_Havok]

I have high hopes for Paul Fry

[Deadpool]

The 3B coach is just windmilling for days.

[BlueRocky]

HBP specialist Zach Britton

[Jaysareus]

Thornton is still on the team lol.

[G-Snarls]

Can Spencer Horwitz play any position other than 1B?
