Or not. Hey, it is spring, time for dreams and fantasies. Orelvis an MVP with 50+ HR, Bo back to leading the league in hits, etc.
Game 1: Jays 6 Yankees 4. Little, Pop, Fluharty all having 0 run innings, Pardinho seemed to have one but a pitch cam review took it away as a Yank with a second chance cranked a dinger. Easton Lucas was the first pitcher for the Jays and had 3 K's in 2 innings, a LHP who got into 2 games last year as a Jay (waiver claim from Detroit, who got him from waivers from the A's, lots of K's, lots of walks but not crazy level in his minor league career, signed in 2019 14th round, traded twice as well). I see him as a possibility for the pen, but with 2 IP I suspect the Jays are targeting him as a starter in AAA.
Loperfido hit a double, Orelvis a HR, 2 hits for Bo, 1 for Gimenez, Vlad, Kirk, Berroa, and Clement. Just 1 Jay K'ed (Gimenez), just 1 Jay walked (Lukes). The Jay pitchers K'ed 11, walked 3, gave up 2 HR, 10 H, 4 R/ER. The Jays K and BB were both vs the starter Rodon who gave up 3 runs in 2 2/3 IP. Poor Anders Tolhurst threw the last 2 innings and blew the save, but did get a win - still, in spring impressions are critical - he was in A+ and AA last year so this game was critical for him as he might not get another (wasn't on 40 man, nor on the NRI list).
Barger hurt in his first spring PA - McAdoo had to finish his PA. For some bizarre reason Sportsnet isn't showing the game live it seems - I can get updates from MLB.com but not from Sportsnet. Grrr.
