They just showed it on the Jays main broadcast. Now time to start building lineups with him Vlady and Turner somehow lol.

[The_DH]

The homer looked more like a double but a really good double. Off the outfield fence. I'll take it.

[hanton]

Guess the umps thought it bounced off outfield hill behind the fence

[Jays24]

So are we moving Vladdy back to 3B to get Turner and Votto both into the lineup? Lol

[The_DH]

Yeah no replays but my stream showed it pretty clearly.

don't laugh, bet he can still play there

[hanton]

if Muncy can play 3rd ........

[Jays24]

We should be throwing him there in Spring Training just to see what it looks like. Always great to have options. Don't think Turner has played 3B all spring either.

John Schneider after today's game. Turner, I need you in my office. So, I need you to dust your glove off and take some reps at 2nd and 3rd this last week and a half of spring training.

[The_DH]

Just a general comment about spring training this year compared to prior: the hitters are getting in a lot game time compared to prior.

[BTS]

Rodgriuez just struck out Goodrum with a perfectly placed fasball at 97

[L54]

Joey Votto is 26 hits away from passing Larry Walker for all time hits by a Canadian

[Jays24]

1B Votto

3B Vlad lol

Quick assessment of Rodriguez:

the Japanese style delivery can really screw up some timing.

The breaking pitch is a killer

Fastball mostly 93-94 mph.

 

Pretty awesome outing. Pete Walker will help him a ton to deal with pitching sequence.

[hanton]

ffs Buck.....Kirk will be the opening day catcher; the kid Schulman had to correct him

[Carlos Danger]

Doesn’t matter your velocity if you can’t locate. @MW

[Laika]

 

Y Rod has good stuff grades!

[BTS]

[Laika]

Instantly becomes the most interesting #5 candidate. Once stretched out of course.

[hanton]

Great AB by Clement vs Wheeler, eventually struck out on a really good cutter

[G-Snarls]

Yariel looked good indeed

 

Great looking stuff

[Laika]

Ernie Clement first two whiffs of spring

 

Only took Zach Wheeler to do it. And one of them was a foul tip.

[G-Snarls]

Also Joey Votto hit a home run to dead center off Zach Wheeler on the first spring training pitch he saw

don't think it actually went out, off the top of the fence

[G-Snarls]

It did hit the top of the fence but was ruled a HR

 

Either way, good start
