April fools by Blue Jays banter?

 

If so, not especially funny

[G-Snarls]

LOL yep, and the story is actually a but funny

"You know we just thought having three catchers on our active roster wasn't enough and rolling with a team that is composed of 16% catchers is a little more efficient. All the backstops bring something different to the table so the team has additional flexibility going forward. Dioner Navarro can catch, but can't hit. Josh Thole can kind of catch, but definitely can't hit. Erik Kratz can catch a little bit and hit moderately well considering his home run yesterday and no one knows what A.J. Jimenez can do so we'll just play it by ear I guess."

Exile to Kalfus thread please.

It took ONE f***ING GAME for s*** to blow up. Wow.

 

No. It took one at bat.

I really didn't want to make a big deal out of Reyes playing in Montreal but this is a pretty damning quote:

 

“It wasn’t 100 per cent at all, when I was hitting in the box I was obviously thinking about running. I said in my mind, base hit, fly ball – I don’t know how I’m going to run fast.”

It doesn't sound like the decision should have been left to Reyes at all. He should have been on the DL. I guess Reyes and the team go too caught up in the idea of Reyes starting the season healthy. I think that had more to do with it than a marketing decision. I can pretty much guarantee that not as single ticket in Montreal was purchased because of Jose Reyes. It was predominantly an Expos crowd with surprisingly little knowledge about current baseball players. The only player who was getting recognition from the crowd was Bautista. All the other Toronto plate appearances were treated the same by the crowd. No special recognition for Reyes or even Edwin. GSnarls can confirm this. When we met during the game, we talked about how it really wasn't a Blue Jays crowd at all. Most people just wanted to pretend they were watching the Expos.

[G-Snarls]

Obviously should have been on DL cause now those games cost us more days if he's OK after a week too

 

Sounds like this is possibly more Reyes' fault himself than AA's or Gibby's

 

Dammit

Winning meaningless games in Montreal was more important than the regular season... Get with the program bro

Totally true, it was odd and very striking

 

(Still very glad I went to games, and good to meet you in person BTW)

[Stangstag]

This org sucks

Any excuse to go to Montreal is a good excuse. I had a great time at the games (the first one was especially great) and in the city. The only thing that sucked was the trip back. Had to dig out the car out in Montreal. Drove through crap weather in a rental with no winter tires and got stuck in the snow twice in Fredericton, once in my driveway when I unloaded the car and then again trying to bring it back to the rental place. I'm really sore from all the shovelling and pushing.

Dammit that sucks. Sorry to hear! Glad I flew

All the flights to Fredericton were cancelled so it's just as well that I drove (I guess).

Happy March... Welcome to motha f***in Canada lol. I guess all you can say is we choose to live here.... I don't know why.

Exactly

March? It's April and there's even more snow today than yesterday. There's more snow today than at any point in the winter.

[Sammy225]

It was march when it happened though. And we have been lucky enough to have just f***ing cold and no snow.

Where are you?

We got dumped on really bad here in New-Brunswick. Some part of the province are out of power. f***in' deppressing.

s***** deal man. We had a s*** tone of snow this winter but just fortunate we did not get much this spring. You guys have had it way worse out there.

Being in New Brunswick don't you really deserve to be dumped on?

[Caper]

I don't remember a worst winter in 25 years.

[Sammy225]

All things considered. It is not a terrible looking lineup 1-7

Rasmus in the two spot against Cobb makes sense.

[Sammy225]

Anddddd Diaz is playing.

 

2nd career ever start.

[jaysfan2014]

Pretty much the lineup I expected. At least the infield defense will be strong, as Goins and Diaz are plus defenders.. any offense will be a bonus.

[jaysfan2014]

Jays want the defense of Diaz over Kawasaki. We can't afford lousy defense like last year, when we were playing Bonizturis at 2B..

[eastcoastjaysfan]

If they are actually going to start the replacement everyday, why isn't it Kawasaki?

 

Question has already been asked a million times. Mind blowing.
