The diffences between you and me are that when I drink, I am a happy go lucky guy, who likes to joke and I like to chase pussy.

 

You just like to chase some guy on a message board around and make degragortory comments after every one of my posts. I guess I would also have pent up anger if I was some drunk Newfy hoser. At least I can contribute to intelligent discussion in forums and topics outside of baseball. Pasting links to articles that have been on Sportsnet for a day half or LOL, your dumb or your arsenal of memes doesn’t count for much.

 

I make my case on this board, whether it is bat s*** crazy wrong or right, I make my case and lay out an argument.

 

You are the king of shallow on this board. You are a few steps higher in intelect then my toddler son, because you can cut and paste.

 

I have never seen a well thought out substantive argument or opinion from you once on this board.

 

You are basically the BJMB clown/town drunk. Take a look in the reflecion of your bottle of Mad dog 20/20 you are drinking if you want to see what an idiot looks like.

 

After all that, the truth is, I actually still kind of like you.

 

I said good night!

 

I could break this down, but a simple search, shows me the same augmented troglodyte s***, eat a f***ing dick... poser.

 

Also... thanks again boxcar, he's wiki'd me to death, f***ing loser. Anyhow, I said good day.

Why do you keep blaming Boxy for me being here? Boxy to his credit appreciates diversity of opinion on the board.

 

You should man the f*** up and take care of your own issues (of which there are many) and stop calling for Boxy like a child calling for his mommy. What do expect Boxy to do?

 

You have told me to eat a dick so many times, it must be good! I suspect it tastes like chicken, dog, Gator, Iguana, dick, they are all the same, tastes like chicken. It is also 2019, what is wrong with eating dick if that is your thing..

 

I see you looked up a big word.. You could have just said cave man, or dinosour, seems to be the go to expression on this board.

 

Poser.. ??? This one has me scratching my head. What in the wide wide world of sports am I trying to pose as on this board??

 

When you wake up from your drunk stupor around noon and read this, I said good morning.

 

PS: If I get to meet you at a Jays game this year. First beer is on me, I think we could have fun shouting insults at Angel Hernandez together, and I will happily share some of my dick sandwich.

Hey dinosour, I've met plenty guys and gals from this forum, you, no thanks goof. Boxy and I are friends, you haven't been able to answer any of my rebuttals concerning baseball, it's for the simple reason I mentioned, you're an idiot. You can go on your rants about me in personal insults, I don't mind, for the simple fact that you don't have one iota of who I am, also, I don't play in your sandbox, meat!

 

I Said Good Day!

You got me good on this one..

[Carlos Danger]

Hey dinosour, I've met plenty guys and gals from this forum, you, no thanks goof. My offer is still good. Boxy and I are friends, you haven't been able to answer any of my rebuttals concerning baseball, it's for the simple reason I mentioned: I always answer every poster who asks me a question or if we are having a debate etc..Rebuttal what??? If you ever asked me a baseball question or were we are having a debate on an issues I would respond.. You are saying you are attacking my intelligence because I didn't rebuttal LOL, you're an idiot, you're dumb etc?? What are you talking about? You can go on your rants about me in personal insults: I follow the Trump philosophy.. You hit me, I am going to hit you back twice as hard.. I have NEVER attacked you first or without warrant. I don't mind, for the simple fact that you don't have one iota of who I am: All my comments were as to your actions on this board, and from information you have shared with the board. I don't know what kind of guy you are at home or work etc. However, as far as your internet persona. I was spot on.. , also, I don't play in your sandbox, meat!

 

I Said Good Day!

PS: You spelled Dinosaur wrong Homer Simpson..

 

The bolded dinosour was in jest, to YOU spelling it that way, lol. Not very bright are you.

 

By what measure...??? I already checked Happ before I made that statement.... Not ERA, not HR rate, not QS.. Happ has him by a little bit in WHIP..

 

 

I have been on this board long enough and know you guys well enough that when this is all you got, it means I am factually correct. When I am not, you guys, come back with a fire hose of metrics to try and prove me wrong.

 

In this case, you dont like my fecicious nicknames and have to harp on my adoptive relationship with Boxy.

 

Ryan you better not let me down!! Orpanage here I come:(

 

No, we all collectively facepalm at you using archaic metrics such as ERA/WHIP/QS, etc... without looking, I'd assume Happ was better across the board in K%, BB%, GB%, FIP, xFIP, SIERA, Batted Ball rates, etc, etc... as Boxy said, you should do better, what Borucki has shown is he's better in Good Luck, he might be a FIP beater moving forward but that will show in a larger sample and he could provide a good RA9-WAR along the lines of his idol Mark Buerhle , I wish him well and hope he continues his success, but the pitcher's skill doesn't show this... I said Good Day!

 

Also, fecicious, orpanage, really? lol

Potent sperm isn’t enough. Men don’t have kids at that age unless they’re stupid rich or running a sex cult.

12 anonymous scouts talk about rising players (last year in this feature was Muncy and Daniel Robertson) with some Blue Jays content.

 

Anthony Alford, OF, Blue Jays

 

Scout’s Take: "He looks insanely good. I know he’s had health issues, but to me the issue with him has always been balancing his approach and the fact that he does draw walks with some aggressiveness. He has just not missed pitches in the strike zone this spring, and he’s hit them a long way. He hit three home runs the last couple of days. It feels like each one is farther than the next one. The thing is I don’t know where he fits for them. I’m not sure what kind of trades the Blue Jays are talking about making or what their plans are, but if I were Teoscar Hernandez, I’d be worried. Because Teoscar Hernandez is similar tools, but he’s getting a little bit more expensive and he’s just a lesser defender . . . All of their veteran outfielders, (Randal) Grichuk, (Kevin) Pillar, they should be wary because Anthony Alford just looks better than all of them.”

 

 

Rowdy Tellez, 1B, Blue Jays

 

Scout’s Take: "I’ve seen him all the way from A-ball. When he’s locked into that left-center gap, whether it be lefties or righties, he’s going to be a tough out. Early on in the spring he was kind of rolling over pitches, just kind of hitting weak ground balls to the right side. But now that he’s locked into that left-center gap, hitting lefties and righties, he’s going to be somebody to watch. He actually kind of trimmed up a little bit. He looks a lot better moving his feet. He looks good.”

 

Ryan Borucki was also named as a riser but no write-up.

[TheHurl]

Their negative or mixed reviews. Not Jays content but Alonso being on here is the interesting one. He is the typical scouts vs. Stats guy.

 

Pete Alonso, 1B, Mets

 

Scout’s Take: "He’s had a good spring training, but I don’t think Pete Alonso is that good. He’s obviously a polarizing one. Defense isn’t any better, he’s still stiff. He’s going to have to hit his way. Everyone knows he is. He’s hitting fastballs, but that’s the thing—it’s spring training. Once you actually try and get guys out, that’s going to be interesting. Right now, he’s taking advantage of the fastball. I can’t recall him ever hitting a slider. I’m not confident that Pete Alonso has the skills to be a hitter.”

 

Lewis Brinson, OF, Marlins

 

Scout’s Take: "I saw him last year and I could not believe how long his swing was. I was just like, ‘Wow, this is a death sentence swing.’ It was no wonder he was hitting .200 and can’t walk and strikes out all the time. But of course I also saw the 80 athlete and how young and inexperienced he was. So I said, ‘Well, it’s possible he can come back.’ I’ve tried to watch him this spring and see how much shorter that swing is, and I’m not sold either way yet. I’ve seen a little evidence of both. One day I was like, ‘There’s no difference’, and the next day I was like ‘Oh, that was impressive.’ I can’t say I’m convinced either way yet.”

 

Austin Hays, OF, Orioles

 

Scout’s Take: "He’s swinging the bat better this spring than he did last spring. I don’t think there’s any way he’s a center fielder. I know he made a highlight catch the other day, a diving catch in right-center, and he did get a good jump on it. I do think Austin Hays is going to be a nice player, I do not think he’s going to be a center fielder. I saw where the other day they said their center field competition is wide open. If that’s not Cedric Mullins, then they don’t have another center fielder on their roster. Austin Hays, he’s stretched there, even the routine plays, and I was very alarmed by his throwing arm. I was surprised at how poorly the ball came out.”

 

Mickey Moniak, OF, Phillies

 

Scout’s Take: "Moniak has a flash of a good game and then flashes that are kind of like, ‘Yeah, he’s going to need a lot more time.’ I’m on the fence with him. I definitely like the speed, I like the defense, I like the effort that he puts out and the aggressiveness. He’s going to have to know that he’s not going to be a home run hitter. Even when he gets to be 24-25, I don’t see him being a 20-plus home run guy. He’s going to have to learn other facets of the game. The other day they were down, they came back, he had a chance to drive in a run and literally the defense gave him the whole left side. All he had to do was put a bunt down or try and pepper the ball to that side and he just swung through the pitches trying to pull them. I think he might be a guy who could benefit from a different sound, a different uniform, a different voice in his ear. He’s 20 years old, let’s not give up on him, but he needs some refining to his game.”

[Laika]

Pete Alonso, 1B, Mets

 

Scout’s Take: "He’s had a good spring training, but I don’t think Pete Alonso is that good. He’s obviously a polarizing one. Defense isn’t any better, he’s still stiff.

He's going to have to hit his way as opposed to what... a less "stiff" 1B?

 

Interesting that this scout thinks minor league pitchers last year weren't trying to get Alonso out.

[tafkasg]

Well you can only play where they tell you to but he was 23 in AA and his AAA team was freakin Vegas, I think it's fair to pump the brakes a bit on drooling over his 2018 season line.

 

The scout did use "try and" though so clearly he's a boob, argument withdrawn.

Anonymous scout opinions are useless and a big pet peeve of mine. You can find a scout with any opinion to fit any narrative.
