General 2020 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

Eh, whatever. Toronto can just play every game on the road.

[BlueRocky]

We can play every game against Baltimore, that would be cool.

[Spanky99]

good luck Spanky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

gender reassignment surgery is scary but worth it

[Spanky99]

A little off topic, but good luck with your surgery spanky.

 

Went well Leaffie, thanks.

[leaffie]

Watching yesterday's intrasquad game, I was just amazed at how much young talent there is everywhere. Of course you have the core 4-5, but then guys like Espinal, or even Wall, could really be something. Tellez looks like he may start hot. There seem to be almost no lame players on the roster at this time. In a 60-game season, this could be really fun. I am still wrapping my head around the idea that this is the equivalent of being tied for first after 102 games during a regular season.

Lol true. But if the Jays were tied with all the other teams last year by late July, I think you would have been pumped.

[Spanky99]

 

Go Jays Go!!! I'm getting hype for this, piss off Covid.

Ken Giles is open to extension. What do you guys think?

If the cost is reasonable, then sure, but if I'm the Jays I'm not spending anything until I see what happens in free agency this winter. Could probably wait until November/December and re-sign Giles anyway.

His career wRC+ before coming to Toronto was in the 90-95 range. "One of the worst hitters ever" seems like pretty strong hyperbole.

It's the title of the video, BTS.

I know. It makes me not want to watch the video.

I'm sure he's aware, but he's also correct. No shot at you, Homie!

I love seeing more baseball content on YouTube, maybe MLB is finally loosening up a bit on that, but that title alone made me not click on it. Wow. That title is not even hyperbole, it's idiotic.

[Orgfiller]

Why not just say it like it was? Jose Bautista was a journeyman, replacement level player, whatever else you want to describe his prior futility. Clickbait titles are so stupid and have in the past made me not want to watch a potentially well made video as a result.

Oh, man, I just finished watching it... it sucked. Nothing we didn't already know, and at the end they got cute with some numerology stuff. Not worth watching.

At what number? $30M for 3 years?

He’s getting $9,600,000 right now.

I assume you’ve never used YouTube before? 95% of the videos have click bait titles.
