Blue Jays 2021

Very impressive debut by the youngster. I noticed something about Alek Manoah that will serve him well in The Show, "he's loose like a long necked goose". Very different from Nate Pearson who gets flustered when he walks a batter.
Somebody buy Jordan Romano a kimono, he eats opposing batters like sushi. Vic Romano would be proud.

Manoah's fastball tops out at 96mph. Thats good, but not great.
Its the movement on his FB thats amazing. Yankees werent picking up the ball well at all.
And his changeup is just as good. Has a nice tailing action on it.
Slider's good too.
Great start. Lets sweep those dreaded Wankees now

As a Yankee fan I was watching the Yankee broadcast and David cone was very impressed.
Like you said he has great life on the three different fastballs he throws.
His change is supposed to be his third option but even that looked like a plus pitch too me.
Yankees outside of Judge, Urshela and D.J. LeMahieu are literally not hitting their weight this year. Well Stanton was until he got injured again.
The big concern on the broadcast is why chapman didn't close tonight in the 2nd game. He was well rested so something is amiss in the big apple.
Jays need Nate Pearson to make his mark in the majors.......
if pearson makes it then we got two lefties and two righties with slow and hard throwers
potential killer staff because it keeps other teams on their heals

first player from the 2019 draft to make it to the show
he has the right personality as nothing upsets him
walked first batter on 4 pitches then he settled in for a dynamic performance
i predicted that in was manoha not pearson that was the impact pitcher to be called up
because pearson needs to learn control
manoha does not
good point, LOL, but totally different pitch
knuckleball works on different principle of physics
no spin at all causes ball to change low pressure variations like a aircraft wing and ball will fall towards the low pressure
fast spin rate does same thing actually, now that you made me think of it, but in a different way
it is all science
cheers
Pearson needs to control his emotions on the mound also , gets flustered too easily.
