General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[Pendleton]

You know the Rays won't retain him when he's a free agent... Future Jay!!!

 

Still has three years left on his deal, but the Rays have enjoyed the three cheap seasons and now his salary starts to escalate. I wouldn't be surprised if they shop him around.

Orioles on the verge of their 3rd playoff appearance in five years with Duquette and Buck despite never looking justified of it from a talent standpoint. I might have to just start accepting that they are a well run team, as much as it pains me.

[Brownie19]

I've concluded that while wearing a jersey with your own name on it is cringe worthy - there are indeed larger douche bags attending Jays games.....the corporate guys who show up in full suits in the middle of the 4th inning. You my friends are the worst. Bring a change of clothes and change before you come you f***ing f***s.

That is account deleting material right there...

If I was gonna troll my own formula, it would be something similar to that.

I hate this year's Orioles so much. They can defend. They can't run. Their rotation features plugs like Gallardo, Jimenez, and Miley.

 

Their success doesn't really make sense, but they've been good for 4 years now and I think you have to acknowledge that Buck Showalter does a fantastic job managing the team, and Dan Duquette does good work by the only evaluation criteria that actually matter, even if we don't really understand how/why it's effective.

Gregg Zaun just reached Mike Rizzo levels of idiocy.

All the scoring from Orioles Red Sox yesterday in one 27 second video:

haha

 

I'm really hoping that's an ancient old graphic when Zaun first started with them. That's a much thinner, younger looking Zaun and the Blue Jays Central logo seems different - could be wrong?

Free agent 2020

 

Will be be traded for a solid haul mid season 2018

[Olerud363]

lol... WTF? Is this real?

 

reminds me of Cito Gastons "bases clogged" forula

 

walks+singles+doubles-triples-stolen bases

 

Grissom 1991: 34+121+21-9-75= 81 bases clogged

Olerud 1993: 114+120+54-2-0 = 278 based clogged

 

Lower is better anything under 100 is OK.

 

Olerud clogged an exception number of bases in 1993... Marquis Grissom was pretty good, rarely clogging.

[Olerud363]

lol... WTF? Is this real?

 

Joe Carter (1997) 102+76-22=156/155 = 1 or so

 

Barry Bonds (2003) 111+90-45=155/130 = 1.15 or so

 

Bonds still wins... actually dissapointed, I was hoping it would show Carter being better.

[Olerud363]

I guess in 1993 Carter might of been better than a couple of Bonds MVP Seasons

 

121+93-33 or something like that = 180/162

Clearly a more Zaunworthy player

 

Bonds got on base too much and got too many of his RBIs from home runs obviously

Apparently Estrada has been pitching with a Herniated Disk.

[fatcowxlive]

Marco Estrada's pitching with a herniated disk

 

 

... why is he pitching with a herniated disk? I know Dickey's bad but not throw-Estrada-on-the-mound-with-a-herniated-disk bad

Brutal, you almost wonder if shutting him down is for the best at this point.

[BlueJayWay]

I thought I remembered someone saying Estrada had a herniated disc when his back flared up in July or whenever that was. I don't think this is new information.

[BlueJayWay]

haha

Yeah it might be old. I just saw it on twitter this morning and it was too good not to post.

Jon Morosi is an idiot. The 6 man rotation was the death of Estrada. His struggles have nothing to do with a herniated disk.

No it's from the other night on the broadcast. Used it to show Bautista is still elite

I mean I'm sure his herniated disc is not helping

Might as well ride it out at this point

 

Surgery in the off season

It's Sunday, do you taste the Kool-Aid?

[Brownie19]

Let's not forget he was missing his butt buddy Navarro guys. Martin's elite framing and solid defense was really throwing Estrada off. He focusses better while throwing to one of the worst catchers in baseball. #blair&barkerlogic.

It's hard to keep track anymore. It's all just one big blur of crap right now with the Jays. How Zaun still has a job is beyond me. But then again Sportsnet has no clue what it's doing with their on air personalities across the board
