Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Edition III: Spring Training Madness (Spring Training is over. Season starts on Thursday, Mar 30)

A little concerned with Vlad's knee. I hope it's not a recurring issue for him this year.

Seems a bit premature to be worrying about something like that. There is no reason to think it would.

Any of Pearson, Robberse or Tiedemann expected to throw today?

Looks like Pearson will pitch



EDIT: Here's the full list

Saying he's been fantastic seems like a stretch.

2.1IP, 3hits, 1 ER, 3BB, 4K, 2.57 WHIP

Cheering for the player because he could be a very important piece.

Ya control has been an issue.

Looks like Bo will be batting 2nd and Vladdy 3rd. They keep having both in those respective spots in the lineup.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for the reassurance.

Might have to make the trip to Toronto for that one.

Oh man, and a bat flip bobblehead too.

Yup, soon as I saw the promotion I bought a couple tickets lol.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh no, Berrios still sucks!

 

[saska sault]

Berrios... yikes. Good thing its spring training.

Buck thinks it's over-stressing for the pitchers to have to remember to push a button.

Strong "grandpa can't get his iphone to work properly" vibes here.

The pitch clock constantly ticking is making me super anxious.

they need to amp it up with some sound like the drowning jingle from the Sonic the Hedgehog games

Jays cornered the market on young lefties that throw 100 with nasty changeups.

BPA always but given the depth of position players in this draft, and our stable of arms, I think we go that route in the first round this year.

The Jays seem to be developing pitchers a lot better than they were a few years ago. Last year quite a few pitchers made big jumps in development. Will be interesting to see if that continues this year. I read on Twitter today, Robberse was touching 95mph in his last outing.

Just watching today's game and Zach Britton has impressed me. He had an awesome Fall League too.

Check that. I'm happy to add another lefty if it's this guy. He's gonna cost a sh!t ton as a Vandy commit, and may rise out of our range this spring. But, a 6'6" lefty with easy cheese like this? Wooh boy!

[Canada4Gold]

A week since his last appearance. Likely still going with the weekly start for him in the minors this year? Last year Friday was Tiedemann day. Tuesday this year?

 

[Jojalu]

Get off my lawn

Players should never have fun doing whatcthey love.

 

[Beaumaris]

Oh no, Berrios still sucks!

You got that right.

 

[kb]

You got that right.

But he didn't other than one pitch. He's in spring training and that was a joke that flew right over your head (surprise).
