ST GDT: Blue Jays @ Astros AND Canadian Junior National Team @ Blue Jays #splitSquad

Josh Naylor's brother batting sixth?

[KingKat]

 

Maybe Brown took Izturis' number after he retired.

 

Oh wow... Didn't know about that. Was on vacation at the time.

[burlingtonbandit]

Nice inning by Biagini there. Ump missed strike 3 right down the middle to Altuve.

[Angrioter]

Holy f***

 

Biagini high ERA.

[L54]

King do you know which pitchers are throwing for Canada today?

[Grant77]

Of all the ugliest, most unwatchable Spring Training lineups we've seen yet, this is easily the worst. What a joke.

 

I'm proud that we support Canadian baseball.

[BigCecil]

As desperate as I am for ball this is painful to watch.

 

I see Thole is off to a fast start with the stick at .133. Its only Spring though, and we can't expect this inflated BABIP to be real throughout the season.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the Blue Jays rolling out an independent league lineup vs the Astros, but ok.

Wouldn't you know it...I slag him and he gets a double.

Josh Almonte, the ultimate cold winter player. Kid could be a late bloomer possibly.

[King]

Hoffman starting for the Rockies on MLB.tv

[Laika]

Hoffman missing most of his spots by a foot+

[Angrioter]

AA best trade since Josh Donaldson

[burlingtonbandit]

lol Hoffman points to the sky for a popup when the ball is smoked to the warning track.

[Laika]

Hoffman has poor command of a straight fastball today. Also, hanging a decent amount of curveballs.

Apparently he does this for every flyball.

Hoffman or Jon Harris right now?

[Cyborg]

Hoffman or Jon Harris right now?

Hoffman.

[Frenchsoup]

Hoffman or Jon Harris right now?

 

Hoffman has a lot more value on the market right now, so Hoffman.

Yep. And Bartolo is now the last Expo standing.

[Maahfaace]

He busted like many others. He also had some weird blood disorder.

 

$1.5M bonus and that was the same year the Blue Jays drafted Kris Bryant but didn't sign him!

 

I had no idea that happened, shiat!

[Krylian]

They offered Bryant $1m. He said no.

[Laika]

Hoffman or Jon Harris right now?

 

Hoffman is worth at least 3 Jon Harrises

[burlingtonbandit]

They offered Bryant $1m. He said no.

 

How much did he want?

[Dr. Dinger]

I had no idea that happened, shiat!

 

It was widely known that he had no intention of signing if drafted, the Jays took a shot anyway.

[Captain Adama]

There was in interview with him about a year ago that said he would've been open to signing, but the Jays didn't even bother.

It has everything to do with it. You expect great lineups for both teams in a split squad, which isn't realistic.
