Blue Jays Discussion: Spring Training v2.0 - Same great taste, now with less Bruce/Bautista drama!

We are gonna see the real Tulo this year I think and it is going to be a beautiful thing.

damn, cola!

I don't know why, but Tulo's dingers never seem to have that crack of the bat sound like JD/Bau/EE's.

I just want to see a belt high, inside fastball get tanked to left.

Norris left the game with an arm injury too. Really hope it's nothing too serious.

This comes after getting scratched a few days ago because of a sore back.

All on the heels of again not having the same velocity he did at the end of 2014.

Norris' velo seems to come and go constantly. As does his command. I fear even if he stays healthy he'll be a frustratingly inconsistent tease of a pitcher.

Hoffman had a rough spring too, and his lack of depth in his arsenal and middling command may limit his ceiling quite a bit.

They both might turn out great but I still think there's a decent chance that AA sold them at peak value.

p.s. our lineup is thunderously awesome

Really hope Tulo brings it this year like we've see him do in the past

Jays opening day lineup today sans EE is really bringing it.

TSN has TB vs Cuba on, Obama now being interviewed in Havana.

Norris' issues come from a lack of repeatability in his delivery. When I saw him up close when he was with the Fisher Cats, it was all footwork. He's what my coaches used to call "busy", meaning his feet rarely stop\end in the same spot from delivery to delivery. Thus the wild swings in velocity, command, as well as lower back soreness. Last spring training, he looked like a duck swimming (calm in upper body, feet churning a mile a minute).

If he is blessed with health, knock on wood (or Kevin Pillar's chin), he's going to make his projections look asinine.

 

[zeke]

ya his last couple starts for us last year scared the heck out of me. his body was all over the place, and it looked like his release point ended up moving around 6+ inches with each pitch, and he was falling off the mound midpitch. when that kid gets out of whack he really gets out.
