GDT.. Pirates @ Jays

[BigCecil]

Goins stud

 

I have more confidence in him than Pillar and Smoak combined

 

His rise like a phoenix from the offensive ashes continues (at least in ST). I don't really care what he hits but if can get his OBP to be around what it was 2nd half last season Ill be more than happy. His BB rate took off.

[BigCecil]

Wow this team's defense is amazing.

 

Its fun to watch. I'm so f***ing glad we got we rid of that over priced wifebeater (allegedly).

[fireballW]

Floyd getting locked in.

Whole team is great to watch. Almost would have to think the previous GM did an OK job.

[Governator]

lol Goins green light 3-0 and just misses a HR off the wall in dead centre.

 

Yeah, I don't think he gets that green light in a regular season game.

Who?

[Jonn]

Yeah, I don't think he gets that green light in a regular season game.

 

Hmmm. I actually think Gibbons would give Goins the green light. His logic it might get him going a little bit.

Getting on base for the top of the order is sort of a big deal tho because Pillar sure as f*** can't take a walk.

[gruber92]

With a runner on third with less than two outs and Pillar as the lead off hitter, he just might.

[Jonn]

It is but hes also hitting Kevin Pillar leadoff.

[gruber92]

Hazel..

 

"When you're comfortable with your DP partner, just relax and have some fun".

[burlingtonbandit]

cmon Hazel... She tries to make such a big deal about the dumbest things. Like Tulo and Goins texting each other in the offseason is going to make them better at turning double plays..

[Inklink]

Buck is hammered already LOL

[Governator]

I want Floyed as the 5th starter. He looks ready to go.

[Candy Maldonado]

lol Buck, "the veterans of the team, Donaldson, Tulowitzki, Donaldson...ummm"

[Effit]

lol Buck, "the veterans of the team, Donaldson, Tulowitzki, Donaldson...ummm"

 

Spring training for Buck, as well.. except that he's in spring training form all season.

[Daniel Labude]

Floyd 5th starter. Easy decision. Gives up hard contact at times but he's a pro.

 

It is easy...Sanchez will start the year as of now if the team takes the approach I think they will.

[gruber92]

Which is?..

 

Sanchez starts and moves to the pen after the ASB?

Emphasis on "I think they will"

[intentional wok]

I have never actually seen Venditte before. This is crazy, haha

[Daniel Labude]

I see this as likely. As long as Sanchez keeps up what he has been doing this Spring they will use Floyd like Estrada.

[Daniel Labude]

Big emphasis on that, heck they could go with Hutch for all I know.

[Jonn]

That new rule is going be so controversial. I wonder how many times it will f*** us.

[bendera3]

I have never actually seen Venditte before. This is crazy, haha

 

I'd be ok with him being the last reliever because it would be like carrying 2.

[Daniel Labude]

That new rule is going be so controversial. I wonder how many times it will f*** us.

 

Which rule?...the slide into 2nd one?

[BigCecil]

I want Floyed as the 5th starter. He looks ready to go.

 

I'm with you on that. He looks solid enough. Sanchez has pitched well in ST. I'm just thrilled we have a 4 way comp for the 5th spot of reasonable options and I've finally gotten over nitemares about Redmond.

[dineke]

i can't wait to see the fanbase's reaction when they send sanchez to AAA.

[BigCecil]

I can't see that happening in a win year. I still think we need him in the pen vs RHH.

[dineke]

We have chavez/osuna/storen for that.

[BigCecil]

We have chavez/osuna/storen for that.

 

Choking on the Hendriks deal with Chavez in the pen. But it's a long season and I guess mgm thought he gave us more SP depth. Steep price given the control we gave up with it.
