Barry Davis Official Q&A Thread

[BarryDavis]

What specifically did he do? Was it rudeness or you just found him intimidating?

 

Both.

[Gary]

Barry do the Jays make the playoffs this season?

[King]

If scouting was simply about WatchKit players, I'd love that but there's too many number these days. As a kid I loved watching Pete Rose. More recently, I'd have to say David Ortiz

 

You're right there is way more to scouting than having an eye for players. Good answer!

[The Cats Ass]

If you were a cat, what type of cat would you be?

[BarryDavis]

After the Jays beat the Orioles in last year's Wild Card game, sports writer and celebrity Orioles fan Roy Firestone went on a rambling incoherent tirade on an Orioles message board.

 

What do you do after a big loss to let off a little steam and can we expect to see you do something similar in the future?

 

When I covered the team I had to stay objective so I never had to let off steam. If they lose again tonight I will have learn how to blow off steam

[BarryDavis]

******** call.

 

Just discussing that now. I still don't understand replay

[BarryDavis]

If you were a cat, what type of cat would you be?

 

Puma

[Jonn]

Do you think the Blue Jays should have brought Jose Bautista back or took the draft pick instead?

they were making it up. said that Donaldson never got to the front of the back but you can see his toes hit the back.

[Pinkfloid]

Barry, I really enjoy seeing your reaction for that split second after Bautista hit his infamous bat flip homerun in 2015. What do you remember most about that moment in time?

I like to go out and get tanked.

With how many baseball games you've watched over the years, have you developed a good eye for talent? Is a scouting role with a team something you would consider?

 

And who was your favourite non jays player that you just loved to watch play?

 

You ask great questions! Are you following the podcast on Twitter? We'd love you to sumbit some questions using #AskBarryDavis - each week he will answer some.

[Stangstag]

Barry, who was your favorite person to hang out with/chat with? Either a player on the team, or other reporters. Who was genuinely cool to hang out with?

[BarryDavis]

Hey Barry. What advice would you give for an aspiring journalist or broadcaster in this day and age? It doesn't seem to be as straightforward as simply going to school anymore, and developing a realistic following online through blogs, podcasts or twitter seems to be a real crapshoot.

 

It's not easy and it's not always about talent. Like any business there's a lot of politics involved. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of options when it comes to sports broadcasting

Bex are you Barry's minion or something? How did you get that job?

Yep i am following. I was the one who set up your account here! Lol

 

You and your fellow NSR staff members have done a great job promoting the podcast. Keep it up

First of all, great throw by Tulo to Martin. Players and media don't hang out. I loved hanging with Buck and Pat. They've been around the game so long and have a million great stories.

Are you friends with Wilner?

[Terminator]

Barry we've gone 17 innings without a run. At what point do we fire the hitting coach?

[John_Havok]

Barry,

 

With you as the front man of a band, do you think your time as a sports reporter helped you in any way for that?

 

And no matter what anyone says, it takes a lot of guts to stand in front of any camera for the entire country to see, like it takes guts to get up in front of any crowd and sing?

 

What's the biggest difference between the two for you?

[Jimcanuck]

Not Zaunie?

[BarryDavis]

Bex are you Barry's minion or something? How did you get that job?

 

She filled out an application online, and since she was the only one, she got the job by default. In all seriousness , Bex has been amazing in helping to get the word out, along with Matt and Jen. They are my NSR team and don't know what I'd do without them

[BarryDavis]

Not Zaunie?

 

He was never on the road to hang out with. When the Jays were at home, I wouldn't go out after games.

[King]

Who was the biggest troublemaker, Lawrie?

[BarryDavis]

Who was the biggest troublemaker, Lawrie?

 

Define troublemaker?

[dineke]

Hi Barry, I didn't have much of an opinion of you before but now that I have to watch Arash Madani i can say I really miss you!

[Jimcanuck]

Define troublemaker?

 

Miss curfew, be a goof in clubhouse, be disrespectful, slack off in warmups

[BTS]

Wow, you won't even criticize Smoak. You're such a goddamn professional.

Thanks for your time tonight, Barry. Edited April 14, 2017 by Pinkfloid
