General Jays Discussion 2015

[glory]

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #BlueJays showing strong interest in #Brewers RHP Mike Fiers. No deal close; MIL not especially motivated to move him.

[Atothe]

Kevin Barker is really dumb and so is Jeff Blair

[Laika]

[Spanky99]

Barker suggested a Navarro for Taijuan Walker trade on friday. Yes, just straight up.

 

Hah!

[TwistedLogic]

Mark Hulet (or an impostor of Marc Hulet, I couldn't tell) wrote a piece on Blue Bird Banter about the Jays going all in for 2015 and 2016. He thinks the time is now, and that the Jays should trade Norris, Hoffman, Castro, Foley, Tirado, Labourt, Boyd, Pompey, Alford, Urena and Tellez. They should also trade Hutchison to a team that thinks he's an "intriguing project". Among trade targets they should pursue with those chips, he listed Latos and Leake, and he listed Cishek because he thinks the Jays wouldn't be able to afford Chapman.

Might be a contender to go up against Wilner as one of the worst Jays-related "articles" I've ever read.

It's like a comment on a Toronto Sun article got spread out over 1000 words.

I was going to add that FanGraphs should probably be embarrassed that one of their guys wrote that thing, but it looks like he's no longer with them. Hasn't posted there since mid-2014.

[flafson]

 

Looks like Travis

[saskjayfan]

Looks like Travis

 

any guesses as to when the stro show will be throwing off a mound.

[SAAviour]

 

Looks, looks, looks....like a saaviour to me! It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's that mother f***ing pimp Marcus Stroman throwing a baseball!!

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

^ Just how can you not Root for and Like that Lil Guy !

 

Balls to the Wall, not retreat baby, no surrender! FYSMC world attitude... Heart... Winner!

 

f*** yes!

 

One for the money, two for the Stro show!

[Governator]

Because I don't care to look it up, why do so many athletes wear a sleeve on one arm? What's its purpose and why only on one? I'm assuming to keep muscles arm?

Compression Sleeve is used to help improve blood flow in the arm i believe.

[Caper]

Jeff Blair and that Barker guy suck soooo bad. They should have like a Drew Fairservice and maybe Ben Nicholson Smith and they show would be great. Instead you have these two clowns.

Barker's voice (let alone content) makes me scramble to turn the mute on as soon as humanly possible.

Seriously, the most southern accent for an entire Canadian audience. No common sense with that.

Oh c'mon - everyone loves the new Irish guy on Rock 95.

C'mon. Is there audio on this? That's amazing.

 

I really can't believe there isn't a thread dedicated to stupid things said by members of the media. I never thought anyone was dumber than Jeff Blair, then I heard Barker. I never thought anyone was dumber than Barker until I hear Ken Reid on Bobcat yesterday. I never thought anyone was dumber than Ken Reid until I just read this Barker quote and now it's confirmed. Barker is the dumbest...and with that quote, he's poised to go on a Cal Ripken streak.

[jackadams]

Anyone going tonight? We will be grilling links in the back of lot B starting about 430p. Super excited to finally see the Jays live again. Hopefully a better series than last year. Edited July 21, 2015 by jackadams

Ken Reid is not dumb. He's pretty smart. But he's a hockey fan that watches a bit of baseball. He talks baseball like you see American commentators talk hockey. You can just tell they are casual fans.... I'm speaking as a fan that considers myself advanced casual.

[Caper]

I almost cringe when I hear John Shannon talk about baseball. Guys like Brunt are good because you feel they know their limitations.

someone's salty. bet he'll line up the mics if he gets a hit tonight

So wait, a selling team wouldn't take an expiring catcher with no real ability for a top pitching prospect? lol

[jaysfan2014]

Jays lineup.. are you happy they're actually playing Smoak now?

 

1.J Reyes SS

2.J Donaldson 3B

3.J Bautista RF

4.E Encarnacion DH

5.J Smoak 1B

6.R Martin C

7.E Carrera LF

8.K Pillar CF

9.D Travis 2B

 

A's lineup:

 

1.B Burns CF

2.S Vogt 1B

3.B Butler DH

4.B Zobrist 2B

5.J Smolinski LF

6.B Lawrie 3B

7.J Phegley C

8.J Reddick RF

9.M Semien SS

 

Not impressed with the A's lineup.

[43211234]

Reddick hitting 8th might actually be dumner than Travis hitting 9th.

 

 

The A's actually have a solid offence, though. Don't know what jaysfan2014 is taking about

[Boxcar]

I loved the part where it was obvious he became confused.
