Dalton Guthrie debut today and he hits a 2-R HR in his first AB.

1st official at bat - he walked in the first inning and homered in the 2nd. Very nice way to start the professional career.

And they subbed him out in the 4th inning...splitting the game with Guzman?

GCL leading 5-3 in the 8th in a battle for first place.

Kuznetzov had to come into the game in the 7th to get out of a dangerous inning, then pitched the 8th. Will they go to someone else in the 9th?

It's taking a really long time to post the Blue Jays top-of-the ninth results, which is worrisome...

phillychuck 2017-08-16 18:27:38 UTC #5

Had it all the way...Kuznetzov finished it out:

GCL Blue Jays Top of the 9th
Joseph Reyes flies out to center fielder Keudy Bocio.
Hagen Danner doubles (4) on a line drive to left fielder Danny Mayer.
Yhordegny Kelly singles on a line drive to right fielder Kevin Markham. Hagen Danner to 3rd.
D. J. Neal grounds out, third baseman Gunnar Buhner to first baseman Quincy Nieporte. Hagen Danner scores. Yhordegny Kelly to 2nd.
Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner D. J. Daniels replaces Yhordegny Kelly.
Dominic Abbadessa hit by pitch.
Otto Lopez grounds out, pitcher Anton Kuznetsov to first baseman Quincy Nieporte.

Kuznetzov threw a boatload of pitches.

Jays closed out the game with 25-year-old Bobby Eveld pitching, a 2010 Mets draftee. Very weird for the GCL.

GCL Phillies move into first!

Kingery stuff

Had the chance to see the first 5 innings of the GCL game today at the complex. Wanted to share a few things.

Did you know they play Whitney Houston's version of "The Star Spangled Banner" as their pre-game playing or singing of the anthem? They did today, anyway.

(But that's not what you wanted to hear, right? Ok, on to the baseball...)

Lindow was pretty much in control of things during the 5 innings I watched. To my untrained eye, he appeared to throw fastball, slider (or perhaps cutter, the pitch broke low & in to righties), curve & change. His fastball was just 84-86 mph. He looks like a kid with some projectability though--I expect him to add more as he gets on a strength program this offseason and with some natural filling out.

Was happy to see Dalton Guthrie come up 2nd in the bottom half of the 1st--I did not expect to see that. He walked and scored on a gapper to left-center by Marchan. Guthrie read it perfectly and flew his way from first to home. He was right on the tail of Bocio, scoring the game's 2nd run. It turned heads. Then, he hit a HR in his 2nd at-bat, a drive to left-center. He was replaced by Guzman the 3rd time around in the order, as the Phils customarily do for rehabbers.

Had a quick chat with Connor Seabold. As I am sure most of us figured, he confirmed that he is in fact shut down for the year due to innings limit. He said he is feeling good.
