Delightful Dorks! Eno Sarris talks Jays Starter Adjustments & Pitch Command Value + Rotation Projections & more
Dial back the suck! With two weeks of games in the bank, we discuss Shun Yamaguchi's tough start to spring and how the Blue Jays will utilize him this year (3:05), Trent Thornton seeming to have the inside track on the fifth starter spot, and we project the Blue Jays rotation when Nate Pearson is eventually called up (18:57). Plus, The Athletic's Eno Sarris returns to discuss how Tanner Roark, Chase Anderson, and Trent Thornton are making adjustments by honing in on pitch command (32:25), strides the Blue Jays have made in player development, and the impact of Clay Buchholz on some of the younger members of the pitching staff.Read Eno's piece here: https://theathletic.com/1648717/2020/03/05/the-blue-jays-will-go-as-far-as-their-rotation-will-carry-them
