General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)

[Brownie19]

I think it's because there's a big disconnect between the message board geeks like us, the average fan, and the person who is watching a game and doesn't really know much. You can't really cater to all three in one broadcast.

 

Is it too much to ask for someone who doesn't make s*** up or straight up tell lies a few times every game? Someone who isn't drunk and actually follows the game of baseball would be the cherry on top.

After listening to some of the other announcing crews this spring, I'm much less bothered by Buck and Pat.

 

I agree. I'll never take them for granted anymore. Trying to listen to that Phillies game was painful. Ricky Bottalico's a f***ing douchebag idiot.

Yes, lies and corporate shilling is what you get

[Ryu In My House]

Lol yep.

 

The Philadelphia guys are f***ing horrible.

Best thing that Montoyo has ever said. I love the idea of no Closer and just put your best guys in the right spot. I doubt this happens though.

Yeah, I've always liked that theme, not sure Charlie meant that though. Check this tweet out, I'm comfortable with Romano, lol

Get ready to see Francisco Liriano, closer, after Tanner Roark can't get out of the second inning!

[gruber92]

Kirby Yates to get TJ surgery. Lol..

[Orgfiller]

Yates is done for the year.

[Carlos Danger]

Well, I thought our pitching sucked prior to Pearson and Yates going down. As excited as I was about Springer and Semien etc.. I thought we would be hovering around .500. Now, I am not anymore optimistic..

[Brownie19]

Yates is done, Springer as a Grade 2 oblique strain and Robbie Ray will miss a start with a bruised elbow after slipping on stairs carrying his kid.

 

 

OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!

[Spanky99]

f***ing Pitchers!

[Laika]

I don't like any of this

lol... I thought you were kidding.

[Krylian]

We're going to see some young kids get a taste of the majors this year aren't we....

 

Richardson, Manoah...

Porcello for 1/5 time, get it done Ross.

I’d look into Shane Greene too.

[Brownie19]

I’d look into Shane Greene too.

 

Yeah - if we added Porcello and Greene, we'd probably be in a better place. Can't imagine that costs more than $15M total.

 

I guess those 2 have been holding out in hopes that something like this happens and they are suddenly in demand. The real piss of is we might have had a chance at Trevor Rosenthal - but once we signed Yates, no other closer was interested in Toronto.

I don't think there's any way we have $15M to spend, otherwise we would have signed or traded for some expensive one year contracts a lot earlier than this. We probably have at most like a $5-10M rainy day fund remaining which might include in-season/trade deadline acquisitions.

[Stangstag]

Im a bit surprised Porcello is still available

[saskjayfan]

Man I hope they Jays put Springer on the 10 day DL to start the season. There's a reason we have Grichuk on the bench. Don't jeopardize Springer's for the long term because you want him there for opening day.

I feel like we see this problem with the Jays every year. Some big player has a small injury, “should be ready for opening day”, then plays game 1 and 2 and gets put on the DL for a month.

Radio guys are good

yeah sit guys with minor injuries, early on, is a smart move. Remember that everyone, not just pitchers, needs to go from 60 to 162 games.
