General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[BigCecil]

The first 41 games of this season must be really getting to me, because Kevin Barker is starting to make some sense.

 

It should have been obvious but we are 0-18 when our opponent scores at least 4 runs this year. That's staggering to me with the talent in our offense.

Travis promoted to AAA to continue his rehab assignment.

[Belliss101]

Just so AAA and bring him up now.

[Brownie19]

Travis promoted to AAA to continue his rehab assignment.

 

Rotoworld says he could be back with the team this weekend...TSN turning point?

[Angrioter]

Paredes 3B tonight. Josh on the bench

[Cyborg]

Bautista in the 2 hole.

[Terminator]

Paredes 3B tonight. Josh on the bench

 

Hale following my advice and putting Paredes in the lineup tonight. Smart move. Expect hits people.

Gibby did the lineup, not Hale. Per Donaldson saying Gibby asked him if he needed a rest.

Well maybe Gibby does have some brain cells left after all. I'm excited to watch some professional hitting tonight.

lol... I remember when Lawrie was hurt at the start of a season and they rushed him back without a proper rehab stint in desperation. He was Martin-esque for like 6 weeks.

[THANOS]

Damn, I can't wait til Travis is back. I can only put up with Goins for so long. Do you guys think that when he's activated it's Barney that's sent down/released instead of Goins because of "reasons"..?

 

I just hope it's Goins who's demoted.

I remember that. If we want Travis > Goins/Barney we do need to give him the time to get the reps and ABS in for the rehab. As much as I want to see him (Goins is soooo 2015) I don't want them to f*** up his return and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...or something like that.

Not confident at all that Goins will be demoted over Barney but he certainly should be.

Goins has options, I don't believe Barney does.

Gavin Floyd has the 9th highest SwStr% in baseball min 10 IP. Higher than Miller, Kimbrel, and Betances.

Mostly off CB?

Dont put that evil on us.

Wow. That's incredible! He truly is our Joe Blanton, only better.

[Cyborg]

And cutter.

[KingKat]

Goins has options, I don't believe Barney does.

 

I thought this too but turns out they both have options.

[Jonn]

Goins hasn't done anything to warrant playing in the major leagues. While all Barney has done is contribute in limited time.

[Terminator]

Paredes delivers in his first AB as expected.

 

Seriously you guys, watch tonight's game. Paredes is going to put on a show.

[Angrioter]

Goins walk lol

[GD]

Paredes delivers in his first AB as expected.

Are you related to him

[Terminator]

Are you related to him

 

No but I know elite level bat speed and athleticism when I see it.

 

He's due up this inning BTW.

[GD]

Can Jimmy Paredes stick?

[Terminator]

Can Jimmy Paredes stick?

 

Jimmy Paredes' rocket shot moved the runners but his sorry ass teammates can't knock them in.

 

Tune in for more rockets though. He's got at least 2 more AB's this game.

I haven't seen tire pumping this aggressive since ECJF fell for Randy Ruiz.

Can't forget Juan Francisco too.

[500LevelSTH]

If this team loses 2 or more games in the 4 gamer aginst twins, could see something major happen.
