Around Baseball 2015

This is actually pretty good. Each team as a character from Game of Thrones.

Toronto Blue Jays - Jon Snow

 

Ah, our lovable bastard to the North. Jon Snow, being of natural birth, does not have the name or birthright that mean so much in Westerosi culture. However, years on the Wall and beyond have toughened him; now an able commander and toughened warrior, Jon understands where the true war lies, yet remains oblivious to the immense power he himself possesses.

 

The Blue Jays had been much an afterthought this last decade, operating with a team of misfits and castoffs. But now they appear to have the power and name recognition to compete, and are thrust into the middle of this ongoing war.

Nice. Alex Meyer plz.

lol...you're mean.

I can get on board with this as a DDL owner.

[Laika]

Probably Trevor May first. Minnesota should have called up Meyer mid-season last year, I don't understand watch their plan for him is. He's 25 and doesn't stand to gain much from repeating AAA.

 

When's the last time a team made a 25-year-old top prospect repeat AAA when he was good the first time and their MLB club obviously needs him? It boggles the mind.

 

They either love him so much that they want to get an extra year of control on him, or someone in charge just doesn't trust him and thinks he needs to work on his control.

Terry Ryan man, old school, he's slowed everything down.

Well, since Jon Snow = Azor Ahai, Jays will win the world series soon? With the help of R'hllor, we will defeat the great Other (Red Sox).

Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale on Yasmany Tomas

 

"He needs to get in better shape. I think fitness-wise, he needs to get in better shape. He knows that. He worked really hard all spring. It's not just working hard, it's how you eat and learning a new country and all these things. I mean, it hasn't been easy for him."

Ryan: "I don’t think it’s fair to anybody right now, including those guys down at Triple-A and Double-A, that you’d name him now." (in response to Trevor May)

3Ks through 3 for DeSclafani looking really good out there

[fatcowxlive]

lol they pitch out and Hamilton still beats it out jesus

[Abomination]

It was pretty obvious that Cecil wasn't right yesterday. Hopefully he just wasn't able to get loose, and it's nothing more serious.

[fatcowxlive]

D'Arnaud with a perfect throw to nab Yunel lol. Former Blue Jays everywhere this afternoon.

 

Harvey looks electric but was a bit wild in the first.

 

I don't know why he even attempted lol

 

DeSclafani has his slider working today, he nabbed Walker for his 4th K

 

Edit: Now the Reds game is in Rain Delay mode

[King]

I'm tuning in folks

That's more than just weather....if it's not - then I look forward to watching Castro hit 102 in warm weather

[Spanky__99]

He did have shoulder problems in the spring

 

Plus it was 20 degrees

Azor Ahai is the legendary hero who makes lightbringer. The Red Bitch calls Stannis Azor Ahai at one point.
