That kid Berroa can fly, lol.

 

Very good speed. Decent player with some good skills, but ... strikes out too much with not enough pop

[John_Havok]

Somethings been bothering me all game long about Shulman's pbp... i finally figured out why. He sounds alot like Matt Vasgersian, and I cant stand Vasgersian

[Spanky99]

27 run game, lol. Sloppy as f***.

NO doubt. Its not often you see a guy on second score on a sac fly

[Eat My Shatkins]

1st game of spring training is sloppy? Noooooooo waaaaaaay I don't believe it

2021 Vlad was probably that way in large part due to Dunedin, Buffalo and old hitters park Rogers Center.

 

Rogers Center was actually a pitcher friendly park that season.

Spanky told me the park is neutral, you’re wrong.

 

Just a coincidence that Vlad, Semien, Teo, Kirk, etc all had career years.

 

It was a murderers row lineup of talented hitters so that's far more of a factor than the park in my view. The entire team was en fuego in September despite Rogers Center playing in a pitcher friendly Roger's Center.

Plus Toronto scuffled in Dunedin, it had nothing to do with it.

Huh?

 

Pretty sure all the damage was on his s***** fastball

 

He was throwing 96 on those taters. That's barely an above average fastball for a RHRP.

 

He did reach back for 99.6 on one pitch.

Hopefully he's just ramping things up still.

Not really worried, except for the fact that he looked that bad several times in the regular season last year

 

The one splitter he threw was nice though, haha

Is this game worth going back and watching tonight or nah? Missed it earlier.

How did it become pitcher friendly in 2021 when it was the same structure and OF dimensions it had been for years... Maybe the roof was open a lot in the late summer when they returned or what was the variable?

Yeah that's something I can't say. It was only a 2 month sample size as well so who even knows.

Lotta offense, could watch the first couple innings.

 

Highlight of the game was probably Bo single + steal + Turner single to score a run. Wanna see more of that during the season. Chad Dallas looked great. Pearson looked awful. Jansen had a nice double too. That’s about it.
