The pfx camera for this game was a bit whacky and gave Alvarez one hell of an arsenal.

Those are some pretty heavy pitches, and should probably be adjusted about six-to-seven inches upwards on the vertical axis (this set doesnt include gravity).
Even still, Alvarez got quality movement. I was strangely surprised by his cutter last night, it's not a terrible pitch and gets pretty solid movement compared to his two-seamer. Definitely, the biggest problem is Alvarez's lack of swinging strikes: Two combined swinging strikes is a bit of a problem, even if you are getting tonnes of groundballs.
Furthermore, it is just one game, but it was nice to see Alvarez go to the slide-piece fairly often.
The fans also turned on the Blue Jays quick-fast. It's too be expected given that this is Maple Leaf country.
