serge 904 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I haven't had a chance to follow spring training as of yet. What are some things that are happening ? How are we looking? Is the team better ? Worse ? Or same Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think a lot depends on how the pitchers develop. On paper I think they have better depth but are weaker at the top end with EE gone. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I haven't paid attention to spring training but considering everything went absolutely perfect with our pitching last year and that is unlikely to happen again, and we lost one of the best hitters in the AL and replaced him with much inferior players, there's a pretty good chance we won't be as good as last year. Hopefully I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully I'm wrong. Ya, sadly I agree with this. Especially the pitching part, I think they will be "surprisingly" bad Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I still think the jays are a pretty good team, and 1-9 is not indicative of how good this team is, it's going to be pretty hard to dig out of this hole and make the playoffs. As the saying goes: you can't win the pennant in April, but you can lose it. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 nm, everythings fine now. ya, I agree with you Dubey, better than they have shown, but this is the kind of bad start that can kill a whole year. They need a good run soon. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Now we pay the price for 2 years of fun! I wouldn't even know where to start if I was the GM. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Now we pay the price for 2 years of fun! I wouldn't even know where to start if I was the GM. I'm not saying we do it now, but I think the roster sets up well for a rebuild. Sanchez and Stroman have a bunch of years left, and between Happ and Estrada, I'd think we could have at least one for a few serviceable years cheaply. Our farm isn't strong but isn't a total disaster. Bautista, Tulo, Martin and Morales are all tradeable - no one has an albatross contract. And Donaldson would fetch a king's ransom.

MapleLeafs 142 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Currently lined up outside for a Marcus Stroman jersey. It's chilly. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Currently lined up outside for a Marcus Stroman jersey. It's chilly. At least the dome is closed and it will be like an oven inside! Hope Sanchez pitches pain free. Link to post Share on other sites

Russ is due $40 million over next 2 years. 20+20 Tulo is due $55 million over next 3 years. 20+20+15 Morales is due $23 million over next 2 years. 11+12 Jays will be eating some money off those contracts.

Babying 613 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Only 5 games back of the WC with all the injuries. I know lots of teams ahead of them but don't count them out. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 The 2 most one sided occurrences in baseball last year was Jays starting pitchers going injury free, and Texas Rangers record in 1 run games. Gotta love baseball! Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Last night, 5'8 Marcus Stroman, an AL pitcher, hit an opposite field homer on an 0-2 count. Has to be one of the most unlikely homers ever, though he is only a few years removed from college, where he was an ok hitter as a part-time position player Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Anyone have experience with MLB TV? It's cheap for the rest of the year on Father's Day and I'm considering it. I don't want any other packages or ott box or whatever, just curious if people had good experience with it Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I've used it a bit. Never had a problem with it. It has an excellent reputation as a reliable product. Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing is more than 1 person can log in and use it. Its really nice hearing different tv crews. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Sadly I would be on board for a rebuild. As said by a writer, stage one would consist of trading Estrada, Lirano and Bautista. Stage 2 would be Donaldson and Happ. Stage 3 would be Stroman and Sanchez. I would be fine up to a stage 2. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafs 142 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It really put sour taste in my mouth when I heard they traded for Montero. Winning isn't everything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Do we write this season off and come back strong next year? or blow it up.. We did have some injuries.. Good luck to Edwin who is on a record run Link to post Share on other sites
