Everyone Calm Down

[KingKat]

Could this team actually have an incompetent training staff? Is that even a thing in pro sports?

[Caper]

Ok. I'm better now.

It's not even matter of competence. I have zero formal education in physical training but know that playing Reyes in Montreal when he already had a suspect hamstring was a bad idea.

 

You would almost have to try really, really hard to makes decisions this stupid.

So suit comes up to trainer "we need the boys ready for opening day. I don't want excuses. If things don't go well this year... trust me we're all in the same boat... and I mean we won't even be in the boat before long.. It's your job to get these guys healthy, so get them healthy and on the field Opening day. I know things you don't so please.. please... please... get these guys ready and healthy."

 

Would a suit say something like that to a trainer?? It's idiotic. So I think not quite that blatant. But I suspect they ratchet the pressure up...

Does Paul Beeston even own a suit?

Who else is pumped to watch Hutch carve up the Rays tonight?

 

Between this and the Morrow start are the ones I was most pumped about seeing and apparently I have to miss this game so I hope I was bad luck yesterday and we pick up the win. Just hoping for a split in Tbay

YES!

 

Thanks for asking

And you know what, those are the ones to watch this year

 

I think most of us have accepted that Morrow and Dickey will likely give us 200 innings of middle-rotation level performance.

 

Morrow, Hutch and McGowan could be anywhere from injured/crap to REALLY good. I'm excited to see how they look over the first few weeks.

 

Gives me something to actually look forward to!

I have always been a huge Morrow Homer so I am hoping he can stay healthy so I can wear my Morrow jersey proudly lol.

Morrow is awesome. Probably my favorite current Blue Jay. It's not his fault he's diabetic and has a harder time staying healthy. I would love a full season of classic Morrow this year.

2012 Morrow would be sweet

[G-Snarls]

2012 Morrow would be sweet

 

... For a whole year

[Sammy225]

... For a whole year

 

Exactly

[The_DH]

The question is does he own socks. See if you remember that one.

[G-Snarls]

I want 2010-2011 Morrow.

 

Well, you're getting 2014 Morrow. Whatever that turns out to be!

[G-Snarls]

The question is does he own socks. See if you remember that one.

 

I do. And he showed the reporter that he DID in fact have socks on.

[Ziggyy108]

Wilner is such a clown. Just listening to Baseball Central

 

You know your completely delusional when Jeff Blair continuously beats you with logic hahahaha

[gruber92]

Maybe so... But I think it's not over just yet. This team will surprise all of you.

 

You're a breath of fresh air.

[gruber92]

The Rays offense is sub par. We're splitting this series with wins tonight and Thursday.

[gruber92]

Proof beyond "MUH WRC+ IN AAA"? I'd love to hear how you 100% know this.

 

This.

[G-Snarls]

Yes!!

[Sammy225]

Yes!!

 

Morrow and Hutch pitch a couple beauties.

[gruber92]

Says the guy who projects Dickey to have a 5+ ERA.

 

4.5 actually, but 5 wouldn't surprise me. It hurts, but its an unbiased opinion,just like my thoughts on Goins.

[jaysfan2014]

Most of the runs they produce are on walks. To keep their offense subdued, DON'T WALK THEM! Remember, they were the #1 team in walks last year.

[wilko]

Everyone needs to stop blaming the WBC for their terrible year.

[fatcowxlive]

 

These people are probably the same people who told Reyes to run the tightness in his hamstring out. f*** this organization.

[theblujay]

Fatcow get on that GDT.

 

We're winning tonight

[fatcowxlive]

I just got home, what do you think I'm doing

You're starting to sound like all the curmudgeons on here. This team is aging you man. LOL

[Halladays]

First time posting hey everyone! I was on the Sportsnet forums for years but now that they have been gone for a while I've come here!

 

About last nights game though, it was dreadful to watch. I couldn't believe the amount of hacks they were taking at the second pitch. I wasn't expecting them to start swinging at the first pitch (even though sometimes thats the only one your gonna get a good chance to make contact on, especially against a guy like price) but they definitely defeated themselves last night. I think the other issues are this team has no identity at the moment, no core, no in-game chemistry. I don't feel like a single thing has changed since last years final game of the season.

 

Thats just where I stand today. The future at least to me doesn't look bright nor dark, but a very uncomfortable grey. Im not of the impression were a play-off team which is disappointing but I didnt drink the kool-aid after last years off-season thank goodness because i'd be more devastated.
