Yuck the Fankees. Sweep or this is a failure.

Definitely need some power arms in the Pen. Connor Greene's time later in the season?

[EventHorizon]

going to this one! Yankees are always competitive.

[protothe]

Going to the game on Wednesday.

Wondering how Happ will pitch in this one.

Sanchez is likely on an innings limit and could make his way back to the pen towards the end of the season.

Connor Greene has started the year in Dunedin. From everything I've heard from this new front office, they're going to be much more conservative with promotions. So it's highly unlikely Greene makes an appearance in the majors this year.

If they're in it at the trade deadline this year, I'd look for them to make another pitching acquisition of the Mark Lowe variety.

Gonna be at today's game. Hoping to see some good stuff from Sanchez.

Which one of our bats does best against Tanaka?

If he pitches like he has to start the year (ST + 1st game) I would much rather they find a way to skip starts creatively and have him available to start in the postseason. I think it is imperative that the team not have Dickey as part of your postseason rotation and having Stroman - Estrada - Sanchez - Happ would be much more preferable.

I'd worry more about actually getting to the playoffs before what the rotation might be if this team gets there. It's a pretty hard thing to accomplish in itself, especially in this division. If by some chance Sanchez is a good starter, they are probably going to need everything they can get out of him during the regular season to make it.

[Kurtz]

In a pre-game interview with the Fan 590 Shapiro said the current plan is to move Sanchez to the pen towards the end of the season.

[Randle McMurphy]

7 lefties to face Sanchez tonight. Now it really begins.

7 lefties to face Sanchez tonight. Now it really begins.

This will be the true test for sure.

Just hope he can keep us in the game and give our offence a chance vs. Tanaka.

[Scott Hall]

Only 1st inning but shocked at all those empty seats

[pingpongrac]

Good inning. The first few curveballs that Sanchez threw were terrible, but that last one was a perfect pitch.

[torontoaces04]

That curveball to K Teixeira was filthy!!!!!!

[Lateral Quicks]

80mph curve after 97 cheese. That'll play, particularly if he can locate it even semi-decently.
