Marlins 8 Blue Jays 7
When I had to leave the Blue Jays had this one well in hand, but they gave up 4 runs in the 8th and 2 more in the 9th and lost.
Pitchers:
- Kevin Gausman: 1 inning, 1 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts. A nice start to his spring.
- Tyler Rogers: 1 ining, clean, 2 strikeouts.
- Yariel Rodriguez: 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks and 1 strikeout. I’ve seen him twice this spring and he hasn’t impressed. He’s going to have to be a lot better than this to get back on the 40-man roster.
- Spencer Miles: 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 earned, 2 walks and 1 strikeout. It wasn’t a good outing, but he got to 98 mph on the fastball. He’s making a case to be on the team.
- Brendon Little: 1 inning, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts. Nice job by Little.
- Lazaro Estrada: 2 innings, 2 hits, 1 strikeout.
- Gage Stanifer: Got two outs, no hits, 3 earned, 2 walks 2 strikeouts, 1 hit batter.
- Geison Urbaez: One out, 2hits, 1 earned,
- Michael Plassmeyer: 1 innings, 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 k. Got the loss.
Hitters, Starters:
- George Springer: 0 for 2, walk. His first game of the spring. No need to panic. He’s done this before, he knows he doesn’t need to play in every spring game to get ready:
- Daulton Varsho: 2 for 2, walk, double. Hitting .625 this spring.
- Vladimir Guerrero: 1 for 3, RBI. .286. And stole a base. I wish he wouldn’t try to steal, but stole it easy.
- Addison Barger: 0 for 3, RBI, 2 strikeouts. .000.
- Alejandro Kirk: 1 for 2, double, walk, strikeout. .222.
- Kazuma Okamoto: 1 for 3, double, 2 RBI, strikeout. .333.
- Ernie Clement: 0 for 3. .500.
- Andrés Giménez: 2 for 3, home run, double. .222.
- Myles Straw: 1 for 2, walk. .250.
Others:
- Eloy Jiménez: 0 for 2, strikeout. .500.
- Rafael Lantigua: 1 for 1. .500.
- Je’Von Ward: 0 for 1, strikeout.
- Riley Tirotta: 0 for 2, strikeout. .125.
- RJ Schreck: 0 for 2, strikeout. .222.
- Brandon Valenzuela: 0 for 2. .200. Looks good behind the plate. I”ll bet that we see him in Toronto at some point this season.
- Charles McAdoo: 0 for 1. .333. He’s impressing me with his defense at third.
- Cade Doughty: 0 for 1.
- Josh Rivera: 0 for 2, strikeout.
- Josh Kasevich: 1 for 1. .571.
- Carlos Mendoza: 0 for 1.
The Jays are now 1 and 4 this spring. It doesn’t look like they going to win the Grapefruit League Crown again this year.
Tell us who has impressed you this spring, so far.
