He's on his phone. Barry, I sent you a twitter dm with a picture of what the reply with quote button looks like.

[BarryDavis]

I think there's a place for them but I'm very old school. I still look at batting average and ERA

[Angrioter]

Hi Barry.

I'm Angrioter a fan of your work from Dominican Republic.

 

Did you learn some words in spanish interacting with Jays' dominican players?

[BarryDavis]

Good evening, Barry. Any thoughts on the recent resurgence of vinyl records? What was the first album you remember buying and are you planning on releasing a 7" as part of a future Record Store Day?

 

Wow , a non baseball question. My son actually got me back into vinyl a few years ago. I had gotten rid of almost all of what I had groing up. Got my collection up to about 900 now. No plans to release anything on vinyl but that would be cool

[Jimcanuck]

Barry, you watching the Leafs or the Jays?

[BarryDavis]

Hi Barry.

Si! That's pretty much it. I had always planned to learn but still haven't

[King]

How many beers did you consume before making the Biagini song video?

 

Is there any chance we could see Joe on the podcast?

Hi Barry,

 

Q: what is your favorite away ball park and least favorite, give a little bit of the why please.

[BarryDavis]

Barry, you watching the Leafs or the Jays?

 

I'm actually at the Jays game tonight with a buddy. The dude in front of us has the Leafs game on his phone

[BarryDavis]

Hi Barry,

 

Q: what is your favorite away ball park and least favorite, give a little bit of the why please.

 

I'll start with least favourite. Two of them: the Trop and the Colleseum in Oakland. Favourites are ATand T in San Fran and Camden Yards

[BarryDavis]

Si! That's pretty much it. I had always planned to learn but still haven't

 

I lost count of the beer intake and yes, I plan to have Joe on soon. Just did an interview with Grilli today and it will air Sunday

[Terminator]

I'll admit it Camden Yards is nice.

 

But were you ever the victim of a crime while staying in that dump of a city?

[Effit]

Hi Barry, welcome aboard. Great of you to do this.

 

In your opinion, what is the reason(s) for the majority of the Jays not hitting right now? Strange that nearly everyone would be cold as ice all at once.

[BarryDavis]

Barry would u consider a career broadcasting another sport? If so, which one would you pick and why?

 

Over 25 years in the business I've done just about every sport you can think of, even highschool football. Baseball is my first love when it comes to sports

[Jimcanuck]

Have you followed this board over the years as a lurker?

Samee thing happened last year. For some reason, the Jays have lot of slow starters

[BexNSR]

Glad you finally made it to the game/chat Barry!

And now you're there as a fan!

[Terminator]

Have you followed this board over the years as a lurker?

 

That's a good question. To add, is this board known among the media and/or the club itself?

 

I know Stoeten hates us but that's about it.

[BarryDavis]

Have you followed this board over the years as a lurker?

 

If I told you that I'd be a very bad lurker

[BarryDavis]

So, thoughts on Jays 2017? Blow it up?

 

There's still 154 to play. Let's give us some time

[Jimcanuck]

If I told you that I'd be a very bad lurker

 

Oh c'mon, spill the beans. And we are all curious if this board is known among the Jays org

[BarryDavis]

Glad you finally made it to the game/chat Barry!

First time watching a Jays game as a fan in at least 10 years

[o2cui2i]

well played sir, well played...

[King]

Did you play sports in HS or recreationally now?

[43211234]

Hi Barry. Welcome to the board!

 

What would your advice be for a young person looking to get into sports reporting in today's world?

[King]

First time watching a Jays game as a fan in at least 10 years

 

Did you have to pay to get into the game or did you have a connection to get you in for free?

[BexNSR]

I can't speak for ANYONE in the Jays organization but I never knew about this board, even as a fan.
