Yankees 8 Blue Jays 7

We got to see the ball/strike appeal system, several times. It works great. Very quick.

Beyond that, well, the Yankees scored a lot of runs.

Jays pitchers:

  • Grant Rogers: 2 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk, 1 k and he hit Aaron Judge with a pitch.
  • Tyler Rogers: 1 inning, 2 hits, 2 earned, 2 strikeouts, 1 home run. It was fun to watch him pitch.
  • Angle Bastardo: 1 inning, 1 walk, 1 strikeout. Game day shows he topped out at 98 mph.
  • Jesse Hahn: 2 outs, 3 hits, 1 walk and 3 earned.
  • Hayden Juenger: 1 out.
  • Ryan Jennings: 1 inning, clean.
  • Tanner Andrews: 1 inning, 1 strikeout.
  • Nate Garkow: 2 innings, 2 hits, 1 earned, 1 k.

Batters:

Starters:

  • Miles Straw: 0 for 3, 1. He’s hitting .167 this spring.
  • Daulton Varsho: 1 for 2, a triple. He’s hitting .500. Played center after DHing the first couple of games. He’s played a more than most. I think he wants to get in a lot of at bats early.
  • Jesus Sanchez: 1 for 3, RBI, 2 strikeouts.
  • Davis Schneider: 1 for 2. .200.
  • Leo Jimenez: 0 for 2, 2 k. .167.
  • Brandon Valenzuela: 1 for 2, k. I thought he looked good behind the plate. .333.
  • Josh Kasevich: 1 for 2. .500.
  • Riley Tirotta: 0 for 2. .200.
  • Ben Cowles: 0 for 2, 2 k. .000.

Subs:

  • Yohendrick Pinango: 2 walks.
  • Ismael Munguia: 1 for 2.
  • Jake Casey: Ninth inning 2-run homer.
  • Rafael Lantigua: 1 for 2.
  • Arjun Nimmala: 0 for 1, walk, k.
  • Cutter Coffee: 0 for 3.
  • Aaron Parker: 1 for 2.
  • Edward Duran: 0 for 1.
  • Carlos Mendoza: 1 for 2, RBI
  • Charles McAdoo: 1 for 2, double, 2 RBI, 1 k. He also made an error on a popup near second base, calling off the second baseman and then he didn’t get to the ball. .500.
  • Josh Rivera: 0 for 2, k.

Tomorrow’s game isn’t on TV. Can listen on radio if you really are hard cord.

The Jays are now 1-3 on the spring.

For some reason I thought the game was going to be road game for the Jays but it was in Dunedin. I think I got up too early this morning.
