And #Bluejays may very well get two first-round picks next year. #Buehrle

 

what is wilner referring to?

 

qualifying offer to Buerhle and maybe a pick from that, but that's got nothing to do with the trade. Wilner's just being a goofball

Norris, after tearing the minors a new ******* last year at the age of 21, but suddenly struggling a bit is now Ricky Romero. But Jeff Hoffman, older than Norris against inferior competition is doing the same thing, arguably worse as he's not even getting strikeouts, gets a free pass because OMG dat breaking ball .gif that I saw from a weird angle!!!

[nextyear]

is there anything at all in Reyes personality which would point towards him being difficult? Tulo is a guy that asked for a trade. Fought until a teammate was run out of town (Ubaldo), Nothing about him screams team player.

 

Well I guess it would be acceptable if he is a Donaldson like player talent wise.

 

I am having some bad feelings about this trade. The Colorado Rockies have been a last place team for some time now.

[Stangstag]

Reyes seems like a genuinely awesome guy, and Donaldson is a giant douchebag. Reyes is a headcase and team cancer that had to be removed.

 

Wait what

[RealAccountant]

I still like the deal, but couldn't AA at-least get the Rockies to take Navarro off the Jays hands as a thank you.

[Candy Maldonado]

Who cares that we lose 15 to 14 now instead of 10-6 right lol

 

How does acquiring Tulo cause us to give up 5 more runs?

If I was a mod I would ban you so hard

Replied to a tweet trying to console everyone about Hoffman saying you get a 1st next year. Obviously referring to the Jays probably qualifying Buehrle.

Might want to try watching a baseball game once in awhile...#demstats

[nmrch]

I don't understand the implications of this sentence.

 

Pompey was ranked #29 in the BA midseason rankings, can someone tell me what the f*** this guy is talking about.

[BTS]

Wait what

 

Just find it funny that everyone adores Donaldson, who seems to be a giant *******, while s***ing all over Reyes' personality, who seems to be an awesome guy.

Well, if you're an idiot, figuring out simple things is tough. I'd be surprised if any of LTBF's shoes have laces.

Majority of our games left to end the season is vs the AL East...much better offenses.

[BTS]

If Brett Lawrie was as good as Josh Donaldson people would adore him. If Jose Bautista was just an average RF he would be the most hated player by the fan base. Just how s*** goes.

 

Yeah, it's just silly. We can comment about the player without drawing narratives about their personality.

I can guarantee you that I watch significantly more baseball than you do.

[guylaroche5]

dude please, tell me it's true

 

 

I mean i'm pretty f***ing high right now but god damn WTF??????

[Praxis]

Anyone else remotely concerned about Tulowitzki on artificial turf?

Yes.

Kiley has a 50 FV on Pompey. That's not really anything amazing. Pretty sure Syndergaard had a 60 at the time of the Dickey trade though I could be wrong.

 

Idk, maybe they are equally valued by GMs but I'd be a lot more comfortable with dealing Pompey than Syndergaard from 2 years ago.

very much. The grass needs to come sooner.

Your little league games don't count lol

[nmrch]

Studies have shown that there actually isn't a relationship between incidence of lower body injuries and turf. I know that's a whole other debate, psychologically its a big deal because turf has that stigma but otherwise, its really not that bad.

[Boxcar]

Yes.

 

Has anyone even proven that the newer turf has a negative impact?

[aselvana]

good night. wasnt as fun as the Donaldson trade night,but still good

[nextyear]

Anyone else remotely concerned about Tulowitzki on artificial turf?

 

I am concerned but is the current artificial turf causing injuries? Since it is new maybe it isn't a problem? Have players made comments about it this year?

[Terminator]

Yes.

 

Is turf proven to cause more injuries?

‏@tlheard12

Elliott says the Jays offered Norris, Hoffman and Pompey for Carrasco.

no matter what Grass they put in next year it can't be worse than the frozen grass in Colorado in April/May. f*** our current turf might not be as bad as that.
