Anyone watching the breakout game on MLB.ca?

I forgot it was on but caught the last few innings. It was cool to see JoJo Parker and Juan Sanchez and both did not disappoint. I hear Stanifer was electric too.

only watched for a few mins, did anyone stand out? too bad jojo wasn't there but I guess he's too young

[Jonn]

WTF is MLB.ca 

[PitaBaby]

Some big time bombs today, and we're only in the 1st. You love to see it.

[Jays24]

13-0... take it easy guys lol

[Stangstag]

Maybe Springer’s bat IS actually sustainable... Would be huge if we got 1 more good year from him offensively. Not expecting 2025 numbers but 120ish wRC+ would be stellar

Springer being in a contract year would have me leaning into him being close to his 2025 self than any major regression.

Kirk the catcher is MUCH better at challenging calls than Kirk the batter.

Very excited to see all these new challenges next week and how it affects the game

Jojo came into the game later and had a single and a walk. First pro AB's.

Here is the condensed game if you want to check it out.

Stanifer, JoJo and Sanchez are the players that stood out to me as well

[Spanky__99]

Nice wrap up to the Spring bombs from all the guys you want to see, Cease carvin' guys up, bring on the Season. Just got to see what they do to tie up the roster and we're heading North.

I think 120 wRC+ is the minimum we should be expecting out of George.

That’s a high expectation when you consider his 2023/24 results. Lets hope he meets it.

He projects as a 121 bat. Attainable for sure.

Yeah that's high for sure but the bottom line for me is that I think Springer's 2023/2024 issues are fixed and are going to stay in the past. He's at the point where injury concerns could absolutely speed up his decline however although he's shown the ability to continue to produce despite being held together by duct tape at times.
