General 2019 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

[BigCecil]

I thought Jonah Keri was better than this

 

That’s what I thought when I read it. He is a stat head. Usually like his takes but wasn’t sure about all of this one. Watching his interview on Sportsnet over this now. Jansen worst hitter in league (min abs) so says he.

iN B.E.V.R we the BJMB must Trust ...

 

No way Tellez is a B in any way or even on this team

B.E.V.R disputes this Claim to be False !

 

If you Look at my B.E.V.R you will see Truth

And the Fact about him and our Team !!!

 

Thank you in Advance !

 

BBBB keep up this insightful analysis and a mod promotion is in your future.

I will quit the board forever in protest of that. So, I'm sure a lot of you are really hoping for BBBB to be a mod now...

Gurriel's now up to a wRC+ of 160.....4th best in baseball

[Jonn]

If he continues to have a Monster weekend might be All-Star bound.

[Brownie19]

Fangraphs has Jansen as the 6th best framer this season providing roughly half of his defensive value: Link

 

So Keri is full of s***? noice.

I honestly can't understand anything you post. You're like reading Noam Chomsky without the Noam. Or the Chomsky.

[Terminator]

Giles just not ready yet for back to backs yet and Stroman won't miss any time according to Montoyo.

[Pinkfloid]

Vladdy sitting out yet another Sunday home game... The day after he hits a bomb too. Let's not let him get hot or anything. Why not DH him?

I guess he needs his scheduled day of rest and God forbid they sit him tomorrow, another national holiday.

[TheHurl]

Matt Wisler might make some sense for the Jays.

[Ex Player]

Because if you DH him and he goes 2 for 4 or 3 for 4, he's not exactly getting a days rest.

There's also batting practice DH's have to show up for around 4pm.

Guys that have off-days usually dont show up for BP

He's 20 years old ffs. At this rate he's going to be a part time player by 25. Injuries are going to happen no matter how much you baby a player, if he's healthy put him in the f***ing lineup. The one thing I dislike about this FO is the way they baby potential stars. Pearson is getting the pitching version of the Vlad treatment.

Meh, I'd rather them baby him a little if that's what their high performance department or other analysis is telling them is best, rather than bow to public pressure.

A Bottle of WISERS maybe this guy ... Huh ?

 

Lol ummm have another one , damn Hurl

That's like saying make a teenager work 365 days of the year. You have to give people rest, even if they're young kids. Think back to when you were young, would you have liked to have to work 7 days a week for 6 months straight??

So the days off between Oct- Feb don't count? Baseball players work hard, get paid millions and have between 3-5 months of holidays per year. I doubt Vlad is a big fan of his "maintenance" days.

If Fat Boy wants to eat and live under my Roof

Lol !!!

 

Let’s see 19-20 , 500,000 , play baseball for 7 days for six months and off for six months

Who does not sign up for that deal ???

 

What kinda Silver spoon slack ass lazy but bubble boy where you ... Spoiled !

 

And doubt Being a Natural like Vlad that umm

At his age he considers baseball umm work !

 

Lol

Well.....they get 4 league scheduled off-days per month usually. If you think thats enough, even for a 20-year old, I have to disagree. That means they have to work 26 to 27 days per month. That'll get even a 20-year old a bit tired, and once they get fatigued they start producing less, so its counter-productive really

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

No Wonder you never made it in Ball , you

Candy Ass Slacker !!! Lol no drive hence Ex

Wanna be Player !!! Lol

I do agree with you that they are babying players way to much, but to be fair athletes don’t just take the offseason off. They still need to train and the ones that don’t it usually shows when they have a s***** year. And lots of them do promotional and charity work for the team in the offseason.

[M.E.]

Sanchez to the BP please. He has no trade value right now. Maybe he can have some there.

[BlueRocky]

He will have zero value regardless what happens this year. No contender in their right mind would give up assets for Sanchez, both health and performance reasons.

It's looking either like a 2020 July trade or a comp pick at this point. If that would be the best case scenario, good riddance.

They do a lot of promotional and charity work on their off-days during the regular season as well.

 

I have to laugh at people who think a ballplayers season is easy. It is not nearly as easy as they think.

First of all they dont work just a few hours a day. They have to get to the ballpark around 3pm or so, take BP, take fielding practice....etc. Then its gametime around 7pm, games usually last between 2.5 to 3.5 hours (obviously longer if it goes extra innings), then after the game sometimes interviews, showering....etc. By the time they leave the ballpark its around 11pm or midnight.

 

So their workday is between 3pm and midnight. Thats around 8 to 9 hours, which is what regular people work as well.

Now try doing that 6 days a week. It gets tiring

[Barkerfan23]

When was the last time we had three young players who were all above average hitters and under team control for at least 5 years?

 

Going back to Delgado days? Or Rios, Hill and Lind

 

Having lbj, vlad and Biggio is giving me hope

Do they even offer him a QO? I mean, he's had about the worst possible year he could possibly have had, and even with the 3-4 inning stretches where he's looked amazing, he's had enough complete melt-downs that it's destroyed 100% of his value.

I think you're asking if I can read. Well, if I can type, it's tacitly implied that I can read.

 

I wasn't born and raised in Saskatchewan. I grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, but moved here for university. And stayed after I married a good, Canadian girl.

 

I have some experience with thick accents. But still, it does not help a lick in understanding what you post 95% of the time.
