AA holding conference call with media right now

[fatcowxlive]

 

I'll try to keep s*** updated as we go along

 

Edit:

 

@Wilnerness590

AA says Janssen could have missed only 5-6 days, but they wanted to make sure it was resolved completely. #Bluejays #Jays

 

@Wilnerness590

AA: "Janssen said he felt ok, but warming up felt something grab on his lower back...MRI done today, showed mild strain." #Bluejays #Jays

 

Barry Davis

‏@SNBarryDavis

He will throw on flat ground for now. Cannot throw off a mound while healing the lower back/ab strain. #bluejays

 

Mike Wilner

‏@Wilnerness590

AA: Kratz deserved to make team, another RH bat, could be times against tough lefty we could DH Navarro. #Bluejays #Jays

 

Barry Davis

‏@SNBarryDavis

Sergio Santos will be the closer until Janssen returns. McGowan threw about 75 pitches and feels good. "So far so good" says AA. #bluejays

 

Barry Davis

‏@SNBarryDavis

McGowan should be good for between 85-90 pitches in the home opener Friday. #bluejays

 

Mike Wilner

‏@Wilnerness590

AA: McGowan expected to be ready, but we'll see how he feels tomorrow and the next day. Don't expect any problems. #Bluejays #Jays

AA was clear that the Kratz call-up may only be for a few days, the roster is always subject to change. #Bluejays #Jays

Janssen to DL

[G-Snarls]

Phew re McGowan

[Stangstag]

How do you guys get tweet #s to embed tweets?

[Stangstag]

Janssen to DL, Santos will close.

 

McGowan threw 77 pitches, feels good.

[G-Snarls]

@Wilnerness590: AA: McGowan threw 77 pitches, looked fine, felt good, got his work in. Expect him to be good to go for Apr.4. #Bluejays #Jays

[Stangstag]

Kratz will be with the team on opening day

[G-Snarls]

How do you guys get tweet #s to embed tweets?

 

Depends on device.

 

In a web browser on Twitter I click on embed tweet and get number from there

 

On iPad/iPhone app click on the tweet first then press the ... then "copy link to tweet"

 

On Android phone app I click on share tweet via text and copy it from there

 

There should be an easier way. Especially from a web browser. Maybe there is?

[fatcowxlive]

How do you guys get tweet #s to embed tweets?

 

OK so for example you have a tweet link like so https://twitter.com/Wilnerness590/status/450365840416731136. You need to take the #s after the /status/ (for example here it would be 450365840416731136) and squish them in this embed code (tweet)450365840416731136(/tweet) except you replace the round brackets with square brackets []

@LottOnBaseball: AA: Called up Kratz to add RH bat off bench with #BlueJays facing three LHP in first 7G. Roster could change again “3 or 4 days in."

[G-Snarls]

Well Kratz should catch Dickey tomorrow and hit against Price, yes???

[fatcowxlive]

Well Kratz should catch Dickey tomorrow and hit against Price, yes???

 

Should but most likely Thole is catching, Lind is bench and Kratz is DH

[G-Snarls]

Should but most likely Thole is catching, Lind is bench and Kratz is DH

 

Oh, that works too

[fatcowxlive]

Navarro DH. Navarro is really just a RHB in disguise.

 

I thought Kratz > Navarro vs LHP? I'm saying if Gibbons and AA want Thole to catch 100% Kratz should DH, unless of course, I'm missing something

[fatcowxlive]

Against LHP the order goes:

Navarro

Kratz

Sierra

Lind

Thole

 

Against RHP it goes:

Lind

Navarro

Thole

Kratz

Sierra

 

BUT: Kratz should be catching whenever possible. Best case against RHP is Kratz catching and Navarro DH.

 

Ah I see, thanks! So in AA's case though with Dickey on the mound, it's most likely Thole catching and Navarro DH then lol

[Stangstag]

So the lineup tomorrow is most likely:

 

Reyes

Melky

Jose

Edwin

Lawrie

Navarro

Rasmus

Thole

Goins

 

Meh. It would look better with Kratz in there:

 

Reyes

Melky

Jose

Edwin

Lawrie

Navarro

Kratz

Rasmus

Goins

[The_DH]

Three lefties in a row?

[Atothe]

Three lefties in a row?

 

Cobb is a righthander

[The_DH]

No I meant in the batting order. Rasmus Thole and Goins.

[Atothe]

But we're facing Price... lol

 

He asked if the jays are facing three straight lefthanded starters

 

edit: just seen your post, my bad

[aselvana]

good to hear dusty is set for home opener, dont have to return my fake muttonchops that i got for the game

[Angrioter]

Reyes SS

Cabrera LF

Bautista RF

Encarnacion 1B

Lawrie 3B

Sierra DH

Rasmus CF

Thole C

Izturis 2B

[Brenner]

Where is our starting second basemen Goins?

[Stangstag]

Three lefties in a row?

 

Yes. They are all going to suck against Price, so why not have them as low in the order as possible. I don't think it makes sense to have Rasmus hit 6th just to split up the lefties.

[Stangstag]

Reyes SS

Cabrera LF

Bautista RF

Encarnacion 1B

Lawrie 3B

Sierra DH

Rasmus CF

Thole C

Izturis 2B

 

f*** that, we need Goins' defense.

[Angrioter]

Eww

 

Where is our starting second basemen Goins?

 

I know the Jays/FO/Manager very well. That will be the lineup for tomorrow.

[Dylan]

When will they release the starting lineup? Not till tmrw?

[fatcowxlive]

yep. my gdt is ready too, I'm just waiting on the lineup and I'll post it early tomorrow

[Stangstag]

Oh Fatcow, you are always so prepared.

[jays4life19]

Oh Fatcow, you are always so prepared.

 

Minus the time he f***ed up the winning streak.
