2017 Blue Jays Spring Training thread

[Spanky99]

"Can't be worse than" is a terrible way to look at things. It can always get worse. Being worse is way easier than being better. If Pompey can't even beat Zeke then leave him in the minors.

 

He can, the potential is there.

[BJBirdy]

It just seems to me that if Pompey wasn't from Canada, let alone the GTA, fans (especially the uneducated ones on Twitter) wouldn't be campaigning so hard for him to make the team or playing the "Shapiro hates Pompey" card every time Ceciliani or another outfielder gets a callup over him.

 

It's nice to see that most of the users on here, however, realize that Pompey is best suited to start 2017 in Buffalo.

Amusing fluff piece from the Star about what the Blue Jays think about walk-up music. I have to say that a lot of the stuff that they say is the worst is stuff that I think makes the best walk-up music.

Goins saying that Pillars walk up music is girly will surely trigger a lot of people.

I still say someone needs to prank Barney with I love you, you love me walk out song

[FrozenRopes]

I think the board is simply rooting for a homegrown talent to bust through, recognize his potential and recuse this team from an Upton/Zeke platoon in LF.

 

Martin?

Nick Johnson having Party in the USA as his walk up song for his daughter was awesome. Walk up music is stupid and unimportant.

 

e: omg the Darwin Barney story haha

Bolsinger throwing meatballs

[Jonn]

That Liam Hendriks trade was so trash.

[gruber92]

Urena's defensive issues still looming.. Alford was robbed on a shot to left center.. Pompey 0-3.. Smoak continues to struggle..

[TwistedLogic]

Anyone else just hear Wilner snap at some dude in the production booth? lmao

 

I didn't catch it clearly because I'm multi-tasking but it sounded like someone suggested for him to talk about something and be snapped back with "Yeah, I just said that!" Probably forgot to mute his mic.

[RealAccountant]

I have a feeling Wilner treats every one who is under him or helping him like trash. He has the Ego the size of a baseball stadium.

[gruber92]

Smoak is so f***ing bad. Good news though.

[RealAccountant]

It feels like Smoak has given up.

[george09]

So...is Smoak still the starting 1B on opening day?

 

 

Smoak now 2-for-14 (.143), 2 singles, 6Ks, 0BB.

He will get every opportunity, regardless of his ST numbers.

Some people are panicking.....how ever players utilize Spring Training for working on different aspects of their game......and Smoak is working on his Strike Outs!!!

[Spanky99]

Josh...

 

WTF

 

??? What was wrong with any of that?

[Effit]

People are giving JD a hard time about his hair, but I actually think it's better than most of the things I've seen sitting on his head.

[Ray]

JD looks fine.

 

Sanchez looks huuuuuuuge.

[G-Snarls]

Just a douchey look

[G-Snarls]

JD looks fine.

 

Sanchez looks huuuuuuuge.

 

Did he add more weight AGAIN?

[Brownie19]

 

Based on this side view...Sanchez may be ready to move up the BJMB hot list next year. Looks like he's really filling out.

 

JD looks like a massive douche who tries too hard. Must be taking tips from Pillar.

The only thing that will make Sanchez move up the hot list would be a face transplant.

[Jimcanuck]

The only thing we should care about is how he pitches.

[Governator]

JD looks like he's dressed for backstage VIP to an N'Sync concert
