Spring Training

[Spanky99]

I would assume so yes.

 

Mr. Case come with us, you're subject to a random piss test.

 

No.

 

Okay, refusal to test. Here's your fifty game suspension.

 

Pretty cut and dry, lol.

[intentional wok]

Does a refusal count against the three strikes? I imagine it would. If not I'd like to see Jennry Mejia's face when he finds out.

[L54]

Absolutely. A refusal counts as a fail.

 

If I had to guess, the only reason you would refuse a drug test at ST is because you've been dippin into the devil's dandruff or molly or something like that. If you refuse you know you're still failing, but nobody knows for what. You can tell coach you ripped the bong a few times and it's water under the bridge.

He's a PBA guy then?

Now my hypothetical looks insane

sounds like MLB is a little petty, unprofessional and short sighted. It's not reasonable to think people can simply teleport to another city.

Happy first game of Spring training!

Let the games begin and may the odds be in Jays favor

Don't know if this was posted already, but Osuna does not want to start in 2016:

 

"I told [management] I won't start this year, maybe next one," Osuna said. "I don't think I'm ready 100 percent to be a starter yet because I don't want to worry about my Tommy John, to put my elbow in a risk again. I prefer to be a reliever for at least one more year, throw more innings, like probably 75, 80 innings in the regular season, and then see what happens for next year."

I'm okay with this.

[KingKat]

I'm okay with this.

 

Pretty darn sensible if you ask me.

[fireballW]

Seems like he has seen the contracts relievers are getting this year.

[glory]

Yeah, Osuna was not ready for a SP workload after spending all of 2015 in relief, so it's logical to use him in the pen in a playoff calibre season.

 

On the bright side, it would be pretty darn unlikely for Gibbons to f*** up the pen usage this year. Just use those three backend relievers the same way the Royals use theirs.

If the Jays get off to a low start, expect a lot of belly-aching about the leisurely spring training schedule.

Of course

 

OTOH if they were all playing now and a single veteran got hurt, people would complain that Gibby started them too soon

Smart man. Extended outings. Storen fills the closers role we good. Cecil, and Osuna fap.

Yeah that is a filthy 1-2-3 punch we will have this year. Should be fun to watch.

[HERPDERP]

ugly unis. We look like the Marlins now

 

[RealAccountant]

Any idea what pitchers we will see today

[Sammy225]

Dickey is starting then i don't know after that likely Chavez because they are laying off on Estrada for a couple days and Happ pitched Monday. Also Floyd could be in there as well

[intentional wok]

Any idea what pitchers we will see today

 

 

FWIW. Not sure if the pitchers in reserve are all scheduled to pitch though. Probably not, but that's the list of who you might see/hear.

 

I'm kind of interested to see what Diamond has in the tank.

 

edit:

 

Davidi confirming Sanchez and Chavez to follow Dickey

[intrigid]

Pillar leading off, even a spring training game, is giving me an ominous and uneasy feeling.

Devon White batted lead off when the Jays won the World Series. Good athlete with great defense and low OBP. It works.

Dickey, Sanchez, Chavez and then not sure.

[G-Snarls]

I'm excited to see Sanchez pitch

[King]

I'm excited to see Sanchez pitch

 

I don't believe this game is on TV.
