TORONTO a€“ Ita€?s impossible to predict how long a career Dalton Pompey will have or how good he will be. There is nothing Pompey can do with this small window of September opportunity to guarantee himself a position on the Blue Jaysa€? 2015 roster. Perhaps, if anything, hea€?s assured himself of an opportunity at some point. These matters are to be determined. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy a hometown boy excel. Pompeya€?s performance in Friday nighta€?s 4-2 win over the Orioles is an example of a young player feeling good about his game. a€?I think Ia€?ve gotten a little bit more confident and comfortable being here,a€? said Pompey. a€?The guys make it a nice environment for me to be here and they treat me well. They treat me as if Ia€?m one of the guys; that Ia€?ve been here for a long time, so ita€?s a credit to them. My family keeps me up through the ups and downs and I get all the support from my family and friends, which is really important to me.a€? There has been a build since Pompeya€?s first career hit, recorded on September 19 at Yankee Stadium. You may recall Pompey was stranded at first base to end that inning and as he made his way toward his leftfield position he crossed paths with outgoing Yankees legend Derek Jeter. Pompey was brief when asked to describe the nature of the exchange, only to say that Jeter wished him a long, prosperous career. The Mississauga nativea€?s first career multi-hit game came on Monday when he went 2-for-5, scoring his first run in the process. Pompey also made a brilliant catch in centrefield, going back to his left and sprawling to rob Dustin Ackley of extra bases for the second out of the fifth inning. Then, on Tuesday, the first big league home run. Pompey did it in style, too, launching a second deck shot to rightfield off of a€?Kinga€? Felix Hernandez, one of the gamea€?s elite pitchers. On Friday, Pompey began his big night with a headlong, diving catch of an Alejandro De Aza foul fly ball down the leftfield line. It was a big play because the Orioles led 1-0 at the time and were threatening for more with Ryan Flaherty on second base and two outs. a€?Hea€?s just obviously an all-around good player,a€? said Drew Hutchison (11-13), the beneficiary of the catch and who pitched five innings for the win in his final start of the season. a€?To come up here and not be really fazed and be out there and be confident in yourself, you know just the way he carries himself I think thata€?s more impressive than anything you do on the field.a€? Pompey led off the second inning with a triple and scored on a Munenori Kawasaki bunt single. Pompey doubled and scored on a Kawasaki infield single in the third, head-down hustling from second as Oriolesa€? second baseman Jonathan Schoopa€?s throw pulled first baseman Steve Clevenger off the bag. In the fifth, with Edwin Encarnacion on first base and two outs, Pompey tripled home the Jaysa€? fourth and final run of the evening. a€?I mean it was awesome, you know,a€? said Pompey. a€?I felt like I put a couple of good swings on some balls today and they found some holes and they were able to get to the wall and I just kind of let my speed take over.a€? Remember, Pompeya€?s under a different kind of pressure a€“ hea€?s from the area and people know it. Pompey makes a big play, the stadium erupts; Pompey gets a big hit, the crowd goes wild. The difference in decibel level is noticeable. People are watching, rooting for a hometown boy they can embrace as their own. Hutchison isna€?t alone in his praise of Pompey and how hea€?s handling his first crack at the limelight. a€?Ita€?s always huge when you get off to a good start, especially considering where hea€?s come from,a€? said manager John Gibbons. a€?It wasna€?t like hea€?s been cutting his teeth at Triple-A the last couple of years and all of a sudden hea€?s coming up, I mean hea€?s looked at A-ball, a totally different game down there, Double-A is a different and briefly in Triple-A and now hea€?s facing some of the best of the game. Ita€?s not like hea€?s running into the Average Joe, the guy thata€?s coming up to make the spot start, you know Tillman tonight, Hernandez and those guys the other night. So I mean hea€?s facing some of the top guys in baseball and hea€?s handling himself so well.a€? The 21-year-old has the organizationa€?s attention. With Colby Rasmus already having vacated centrefield and with uncertainty surrounding the status of Melky Cabrera in leftfield, just months after playing for the Dunedin Blue Jays, Pompey could return to Floridaa€?s Gulf Coast next spring with a chance to crack a big league roster.

The umps went 3 for 3 on Monday as MLB tried out the new format at three spring training games. The first test came at 3:06 p.m. EST in Fort Myers, Fla., after first base umpire Fieldin Culbreth ruled Toronto shortstop Munenori Kawasakis throw pulled Jared Goedert off the bag in the sixth inning. "Im not too sure that youre not right here," Culbreth said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told him, "but since we havent done it before, lets go take a look." Culbreth answered: "OK. Thats what its for." After 2 minutes, 34 seconds, replay umpire Brian ONora relayed his call by headset, confirming that Minnesota batter Chris Rahl was safe. During the wait, Rahl said he realized he perhaps was part of history. "Its kind of funny. I was thinking, Is this the first one?" he said. ONora made the final ruling from a satellite truck outside the stadium. During the regular season, umpires on the field will check with the replay booth in New York, where an MLB umpire will make the final call. Later in the game, Culbreth rotated and took a turn in the truck, confirming another safe call at first base. "Im looking at this thing as, this is the future of the game. And Im going to treat these games here the same way that Im going to treat them during the regular season," Culbreth said. In the eighth inning, Doug Bernier of the Twins was called safe on a close play at first. As Culbreth studied the replay, the ballpark sound system played a Rolling Stones song with the familiar lyric, "I cant get no satisfaction." The call was confirmed, Bernier was safe. Extra replay also was in place for two games in Arizona -- the Los Angeles Angels vs. Arizona Diamondbacks in Scottsdale and the Chicago Cubs against Milwaukee in Phoenix. Each team in the majors will have at least five exhibition games with the new system in place. In January, owners approved the use of additional video replay to review most calls other than balls-and-strikes. Previously, umpires could only go to replay to review home runs and boundary calls. Moments after the first replay call, Angels manager Mike Scioscia wasted little time in using his challenge. In the top of the second, Luis Jimenez of the Angels tried to steal second. Catcher Bobby Wilsons throw was high but second base umpire Bill Miller ruleed that Aaron Hill tagged the runner out.dddddddddddd Scioscia bounded out of the dugout and charged toward Miller to argue, just like managers always have done. Instead, though, he chose to use his challenge. After two of the umpires made a quick visit to the Angels dugout to communicate with the replay umpire, the call was upheld. "We werent trying to make a mockery out of it," Scioscia said of using the challenge so soon. "We thought it was a pretty close play." There was only one angle available with the limited camera work of a spring training telecast. "If we have 15 angles of that," Scioscia said, "theres a possibility it gets reversed." That review took 2:31. Since he lost the challenge, Scioscia had no more. "I dont think its going to take much time in the logistics. That will smooth out," he said. "As far as the strategy of it, thats going to take a lot. It might be something you win, but you know you need that challenge to save the big play somewhere." Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and Arizonas Kirk Gibson did not use their challenge. Neither did Cubs manager Rick Renteria nor the Brewers Ron Roenicke. Gibson said he thought about contesting a close play when Paul Goldschmidt nearly beat out a grounder but said he decided it was 50-50 and not worth it. "I think its going to be a lot more complicated than we thought," Gibson said. "We had a lot of conversation during the game." For the Angels-Diamondbacks game, the replay trailer was set up in the parking lot behind centre field. Teams are allowed to have a person to watch the game on television and advise the managers via phone whether it would be worth it for the call to be challenged. The Angels communicated via walkie talkie Monday but there will be a dedicated phone line for each team in the major league parks. Under the new rules, each manager has one challenge. If the first challenge is successful, the manager gets a second. From the seventh inning on, if the manager is out of challenges, the umpire can decide to have the play reviewed. Some critics of expanded replay worried that challenges would delay the game too much. Culbreth said he didnt think that would be a problem, and pointed at the benefits. "It will work itself out. I think time really isnt going to be an issue in the end," he said. "And if it is, its about getting the play right in the end, anyhow." ' ' '
