So Bumgarner has a broken hand?

[tercet]

-Guerreri 4bb, 2k, lots of grounders in 2ip today in the AAA game he was super pissed after the 4th walk

-Shapiro was super giddy about Bichette and Guerrero with a bunch of the jays staff about last nights at bats (he was 5 feet beside me)

Holy s***, yup. A lot of injuries in the last few days.

[Laika]

"Last thing Healy said to an unidentified Ranger was “you’ve never hit a ball that far in your life,” and then he strolled over to the other field and took Sadzeck deep oppo on a 2-0 fastball. So I imagine he’s feeling pretty good."

 

lol Ryon Healy is in backfield games f***ing s*** up

[DigitalRock]

Bo and Vlad...hard on.

[Maico450]

I still believe a team in Montreal with ownership that gives a s*** would be a lot more successful than any team in Florida. Florida doesn't give a s*** about professional sports. That's a college sports state.

 

I find that Florida fans, want to watch baseball in their airconditioned homes.

Plus 3/4 of the Florida population, leaves the state come April/May.

You should attend a Tampa Lightning game, mostly sold out. They like hockey.

[burlingtonbandit]

Interesting Donaldson not going to Montreal.

They were selling Stanley Cup Finals seats for 10 bucks in the upper bowl, eventually gave unsold tickets away, lol.

Why play him on concrete, right?

[Maico450]

Donaldson has really been struggling. If they keep him in Dunedin, he can get a 200 AB off different pitchers in the next 5 days.

[jaysfan2014]

Travis and Donaldson aren't going--likely because the turf is frigging awful in Montreal. You'd think they upgrade it to the kind they have in Toronto and Tampa by now..

yeah...they are going to spend millions of dollars to upgrade the turf for the Jays who play 2 times a year on it. Montreal has a history of wasting money, but even they aren't that dumn.

[Expos81]

Who else is getting stoked for the season to start ?!

 

Despite the fact that the current temperature outdoors is 0 degrees I can feel that Spring is in the air and opening day is just around the corner. Love this time of year. Hope springs eternal. We're undefeated!

 

Yeah ... reality sets in soon enough but by god ... it's almost time for baseball!

 

One thing that will be weird will not hearing Jerry Howarth saying "Hello friends ...". Makes me sad thinking about that. Been hearing that for so , so long.

 

Anyway ... Go Jays !

Didn't they lay down new turf a few years ago when the Jays first started the Montreal series?

[tercet]

Tice was 92-95 in today’s game, he’s probably 5’8” or so, a reliever to follow this year I guess.

As the Mets finalize their roster, they are considering Michael Conforto in a pinch-hitting role to begin the season, according to Mickey Callaway. Other possibility is Phil Evans for utility role."

 

*blinks*

 

[Jimcanuck]

It's the Mets. He'll last a month from being brought back too soon.

This has to mean he's still f***ed up from the injury right? Surely.

[Laika]

He might still be f***ed up and the Mets might secretly be happy that he's still f***ed up because they hate him

[CraigG]

Why do they hate him??

By playoff finals, everyone from Florida has gone north. My neighbours go to the mountains in Northern Georgia to get away from the humidity.

Then they watch sports on tv.

[Spanky99]

 

[John_Havok]

So only real changes from the likely opening day lineup are the bottom 3... Martin, Diaz and Pillar.

[JaysAllMighty]

Marco getting pounded

Curtis Granderson was their second best position player? Holy s***.

[Maico450]

Marco getting pounded

 

All of the regular major league players are playing like they are ready to fly north.

Only the bullpen, and a few of the fringe prospects took the game seriously.

[jaysguy44]

Do we know who's starting the MTL games?

[Abomination]

Do we know who's starting the MTL games?

 

Think they said Stroman and Biagini

[jaysguy44]

Thought Stroman was dealing with an injury? That's why he isn't pitching opening day?
