Blue Jays 1 Yankees 8
That didn’t go well.
Eric Lauer didn’t have a good time of it. He went 3.1 allowing 4 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, a home run, and 4 earned. His spring ERA is 8.64. I know spring doesn’t really matter for him, he’s going to make the team, but it would be nice to see him put up some zeros. Especially if he wants to be a starter.
Other pitchers:
-
Chase Lee: 2 outs, clean.
-
Jorge Alcala: 1 inning, 1 walk, 1 k.
-
Lazaro Estrada: 1.2 innings, 4 hits, 3 earned, 1 walk, 2 home runs.
-
Chad Dallas: 1 inning, 2 hits, 1 earned, home run, 2 k.
Starters:
-
Myles Straw: 0 for 3, k. .174 on the spring.
-
Nathan Lukes: 1 for 2, walk, k. .273.
-
Jesus Sanchez: 1 for 3, double, RBI, 2 k. .226. His defense in right field wasn’t impressive.
-
Eloy Jimenez: 0 for 3. .281. After a nice start to spring, he’s really slowed down. I can’t see him making the team unless he turns things around in a hurry.
-
Brandon Valenzuela: 0 for 2, k. .333.
-
Rafael Lantigua: 0 for 3, k. .458.
-
Sean Keys: 1 for 3. .208.
-
Arjun Nimmala: 1 for 2, k, steal. .263.
-
Charles McAdoo: 0 for 2 k.
None of the replacements had a hit.
Tomorrow the Jays play the Phillies in Clearwater. Jose Berrios starts (after not being able to play in the WBC for insurance reasons).
In the eighth inning of the Italy/Mexico game has Italy up 9-1.
It looks like Canada will play the US on Friday. And Italy will play Puerto Rico on Saturday, unless Mexico make a big comeback (they won’t). Vinnie Pasquantino has three home runs in the game for Italy.
