Ok. I know I'm tempting fate here posting this.... especially considering we start the season in Tampa, where we could easily go 0-3.... But I am feeling a lot better about this team then I was a week ago. And I think Montreal did it for me..... yip meaningless spring training games had meaning for me.

 

I'm liking that....

 

 

  • Mark Buehrle seems like he is in mid-season form and may not have the same disastrous April/ May he had last year. Yeah, he's not that great, but all I want is a good 7 innings where he keeps us in the game.

  • I'm liking D-mac at number 5. Yeah is arm just might fall off mid-game... But I'm so glad it's not Rogers or Happ.

  • I loved Morrow's start. Not completely awesome... but a huge step up from what he has been showing.

  • Loved Sanchez... though I'm assuming his outing is scaring most others that think the Jays will bring him up to early.

  • Love how Lind, Baustista, EE, Lawrie and Cabrera have performed thus far.

  • And even though Goins went 1 for 5 in Montreal.... I liked most of his bats.... and gives me hope he won't be a complete black hole in the order.

Morrow and McGowan are two time bombs about to explode!

 

I'm excited about Morrow after seeing him pitch yesterday, he looked like 2011 Morrow

I am more positive than I was recently. The injury risk on many of these guys is high and the depth is paper thin. That hasn't changed. But Hutch coming in and earning a spot in the rotation over guys like Happ/Rogers is a huge positive and Morrows last start reaffirms that the potential is there. A few weeks ago I wasn't sure that even if fully healthy this team would be good. Now I think if healthy they can be good. Its a slight upgrade and is still just a hope and prayer for a miracle healthy season from all the major piece, but I am saying there's a chance!

 

We all know that if Sanchez got hit hard most everyone here would be down on him. So him pitching well twice against major league hitters has to be considered a positive. No way is he ready, but if he goes to AA and dominates over a 10-12 start span just maybe we do have something here.

Nope.

 

I don't know if you live in your parents or with a significant other.... whatever it is... you must be a joy to live with.

Hope springs eternal.

 

Pretty much. Even when they had s***** teams in the 2000s... I'd always get super optimistic right before the season started. I'm a die hard and I'll support this team until the day I die. Can't wait for tomorrow!

I'm always pretty apathetic but I love this team and I'll support them till the day I'm brutally murdered by Dogg (any day now). I can't say I'm optimistic about the team but I'll support them anyways.

It just feels good to completely move on from last year and start a fresh season

 

Pretty much hey? I think we'll be more competitive this year. The injuries last year were insane, that plus the fact that we had so many new faces. All of those new faces likely feel a lot more comfortable this 2nd time around. Plus you have to believe that the Jays all trained their asses off after getting embarrassed last year. I still don't see us being a playoff team, just the idea of the Jays in the playoffs seems unimaginable. But the beauty of opening day is that every team is tied for 1st. So I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's so important that we build some momentum right off the hop...

a starting staff where the youngest pitcher is 24 and the oldest is 28, with two young lefties in AAA (along with one old one). Two platoons to the bring the best out of four average but versatile players. They will struggle to score at times but damn right I'm excited for the season.

 

GO RAYS!

Rationally no, I don't feel much different, but I do feel more blinded with optimism. It's a nice feeling.

 

LOL I know exactly what you mean

I'll bite. I have a bet going on at work that the Jays will finish better than the Phillies. As of right now I'm feeling pretty comfortable that those two dollars will be mine!

Why would you be a regular poster on a Jays board when your fave team is the Rays? Get that s*** outta here!

Phillies could be a total disaster this year

 

Absolutely Jays have a better record 90% likely

I've actually thought that if one of the mods, me or another, ever tried to ban BTS that we would get a cryptic message from the deep recesses of the internet saying "if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"

I'm going to really like watching the chaos that will be unleashed when the Phillies just implode. Amaro's head will be paraded around town.

LOL that's not the point. You shouldn't have to ban BTS. He should ban himself, just like the rest of us to the Rays boards.
