Zeuch, a 6-foot-7 20-year-old, caught the Blue Jays’ attention in the Cape Cod League last summer and continued impressing at the University of Pittsburgh, where Toronto scouted almost all of his 2016 starts.
“He did a good job throwing sinkers under my hands”, he said. It only got worse for Nola, who exited the fourth inning with the bases loaded and nobody out.
Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Tyler Goeddel can not catch a fly ball by Toronto Blue Jays’ Russell Martin for a fielding error during the fourth inning of a baseball game, Thursday, June 16, 2016, in Philadelphia.
“I let them know I wasn’t pleased”, Mackanin said.
“I’m very excited to be playing for an organization that’s on such a high upswing”, Zeuch said the night he was drafted.
TORONTO: The Blue Jays have won five of their last six games overall and are 4-1 in their last five games versus National League East rivals. “It’s unacceptable for my part”. Though he’s wearing a walking boot, there does not appear to be any concern that he has suffered a fracture.
In the first inning, he belted a 2-2 offering by Orioles’ starter Mike Wright over the wall in centre with two men aboard.
“I could’ve stepped one inch shorter of the wall, one inch closer to the wall, and none of this would’ve happened”, he said. I feel like it’s a letdown to the team.
On Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies were whitewashed by the Toronto Blue Jays thunderous lineup for the third time in less than 60 hours.
Toronto piled up 17 hits, had baserunners every inning and smacked five homers in the rout. Baltimore can mash with the best of them and have guys like Chris Davis, Adam Jones, Manny Machado, and Mark Trumbo who can send the ball out of the park with one cut which makes them incredibly unsafe. Pitching coach Bob McClure waved a white towel to get his relievers’ attention.

Through five innings the Phillies’ one hit – a Tommy Joseph double – as a team was just as many as former Phillie J.A. Happ, the Blue Jays’ starting pitcher, had. He jogged toward the right-field stands and tossed the ball to a fan, thinking he had grabbed the inning’s third out. He’s batting.254 with 18 RBIs and two stolen bases. A corresponding move will be made Friday.
