#UnleashTheStroman

 

I am actually more excited to see if Drabek has gotten some consistency throwing strikes now. Already know what the stro show can do.

Stroman has never thrown a pitch against a major leaguer. we THINK we know what he can do but...

The only issue I take with the Sniderific diet there is that it would not, based on science, cause diabetes. Diabetes would be caused by your high carb, high glycemic index based foods like breads, pasta, etc. Basically just eating sugar.

 

Exactly. I was raging for a second there when dude tried to make it sound like meat is what's making everyone fat. Holy dietary ignorance Batman!

I REALLY don't want to click on this. How bad is it?

First injury of the spring goes to Morrow:

 

Barry Davis ‏@SNBarryDavis ·6 mins

Gibbons says Morrow has a tight calf musscle. Spoke to him and it's not serious. Good to pitch Friday as scheduled. #BlueJays

 

I no longer trust the Jays when they say injuries are 'not serious' or 'minor'

 

They can end up into nagging injuries, or long stints on the DL like Santos' 'minor' injury last year.

[HERPDERP]

ETA on McGowan injury:

 

44 minutes.

 

ETA on Jose Reyes injury:

 

2 weeks.

Every little Blue Jays "minor injury" report sends shockwaves of terror through my spine

[G-Snarls]

Unless it's to Goins or Happ

[Frenchsoup]

Morrow is suppose to start Friday, i don't know why they don't just rest him rather then let things linger...

[Sammy225]

I guess at least his arms is ok...... Figures though I was wearing my Morrow Jersey on Sunday... I take the blame for this guys.

[Sammy225]

So who is pitching on Thursday when the game is televised?

Knowing this organization like I do, and reading between the lines...pretty sure that Morrow has died guys.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the pitching staff is handled. As of right now, with everyone healthy we're looking at something like:

 

Dickey

Morrow

Buehrle

Happ

Redmond

 

Janssen

Santos

Delabar

Cecil

Loup

Rogers

McGowan

 

DFA: Perez, Jeffress

 

I really hope they don't go to an 8-man pen to retain a fringy relief arm.

 

As of now, it's all or nothing for McGowan. He has trained as a starter all off season and is in camp as a starter. Being that he's planning to leave it all on the table, that arm is either going to pop or he will be in the rotation.

[Smedley Butler]

I'm honestly shocked at just how few f***s I give about this season starting. I seriously just don't care, which is a new and strange feeling for me to have this close to April.

 

Ridiculous how obvious this coming 5th-place 80-win season is. f***, man.......

and yet you feel compelled to post on a blue jays messageboard in february

[vdartanian]

FTFY

 

Stroman has never thrown a pitch in a major league game. we THINK we know what he can do but...

 

pitched against major leaguers in spring training last year and looked pretty effective from my recollection, but yes the regular season will be another story.

I know, it's quite............the dichotomy is it......not? I mean, despite the...........fact that this.......team........is run by morons.........and has successfully despaired me enough that........I'm not looking forward..........to the season that........much.....I still find myself checking......this board a few.......times a day. Strange.

[G-Snarls]

RA Dickey and Esmil Rogers (according to Wilner)

On a positive note, for this reason I no longer feel compelled to check Twitter for Jays transaction news 1000 times a day. You?

[KSaw]

I'm really not very fired up. Happ is maybe a 5th starter in the National League, at best and Buherle has stunk for the first 5 weeks of every season since he turned 31. That leaves the club Dickey, Morrow and a mystery man to provide quality starts until May.

I have yet to check Twitter in my life, period, and intend to let others continue to do so for me. ;-)

welcome to the new world order of hope and no change.

[KSaw]

McGowan being the suprise of camp and winning a rotation spot would cheer me up. Hutchison beating out Happ would give me hope.

Hahaha. More power to you. Twitter insta news addiction is an illness.

McGowan and Morrow in the starting 5 would be like throwing matches in a gunpowder factory.... not a matter of if will blow up, just a matter of when.
