GDT: Spring Training Games, Week of 3/2 - 3/8

[John_Havok]

New rule - only Kirk is allowed to challenge pitches. 

[Jays24]

Rodon/Barger/Clement homering today while Straw keeps hitting.  

Rodriguez/Francis/Bloss struggling.  

Really dont like Springer batting cleanup but enjoying some of the young kids performing well.  We'll definitely need at least 2 from the group to be impactful players this season.

Pitching in Dunedin today was sublime. ⚾
 

Roden wants to make this team. That HR was special, if you've not seen it, I suggest you do. Ole Brown Eye is pitching like a Cy Young candidate, I pray for good health.

Hitting stats are pretty sexy... https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/stats/

Not sure, haven't checked his savant page, from what I've seen he's been the MAD-MAX of years past. Zero walks and 14K's through his first nine innings is boner inducing.

[Spanky99]

Francis getting killed by the walks and damage HR's. Otherwise his stuff looks similar,  great K rate. Bloss is having trouble with location that's getting him in trouble, Yariel looked great his last outing, nothing to worrisome at this point, just stay healthy boys, Lauer pitched 3 clean innings too with 2 K's, noice.

[Spanky99]

Case in point in regards to Yariel, he looked sharp, we need that consistently...

Roden could be the surprise bat everyone was looking for.

Impossible if Wagner is slated to be the everyday DH and 1B backup!

And as we all know, if Wagner isn’t in the lineup everyday by end of April then Gruber will throw a fit
