Blue Jays' intrasquad game a slice of normalcy, but where are the outfielders? - Sportsnet.ca

Bichette, speaking generally about the sacrifices players must make this summer for the endeavour to work, put it this way: “There’s definitely going to have to be some discipline from the team, staying inside and making sure that not only are we keeping ourselves healthy, but keeping the rest of the team healthy. It’s bigger than ourselves, and we’re going to do our best to make sure we keep everybody healthy in here.

Bichette got to Shoemaker, but beyond that, the veteran right-hander was remarkably effective over five-ish innings of work, allowing just the two runs with four strikeouts. He got up to 60 pitches, 42 of them strikes, and rather than being at the beginning of the ramp-up process, he’s at the dialing-in pitches phase, on track to be pushing toward 100 once the season begins.

“Some of us talked about this night, we’re still playing baseball, even though it’s against our team. It is different than playing a different team, but when you’re on the mound, and you just have that mentality that you’re going to beat that guy, you’re going to get that guy out, you can still make it pretty similar and game-like to in-season,” said Shoemaker. “When you can lock it in, I’m battling, me-versus-you right now, just go to battle.

Within that environment, the Blue Jays will need to make several difficult roster decisions, with manager Charlie Montoyo praising Jordan Romano’s work during live BPs Wednesday, saying the right-hander was building a pathway to leverage innings.

ShiDavidi great to see it back... hopefully baseball is a 'row boat in the hurricane' that makes to shore safely...I will happily be wrong about my doubts for 2020 - I'd love to be watching baseball with the kids in Oct/Nov!!
