Eyeballs, is there more to this?

Eyeballs, is there more to this?

 

He doesn't tweet often

 

I was thinking it just means "look at what my boy did"

Just a 46 year old dude on Twitter boasting about his kid.

 

Also, I suspect Springer saw last night's game and just went "f*** it, I'm 100%, I wanna get out there and play with these guys!"

[G-Snarls]

I only saw it because it showed as a popular tweet. Looking at the timeline I think the eyes were posted after the grand slam. He later posted this

As cool as that sounds I won't lie, I'll be little pissed if he reaggravates the injury.

Just think it’s worth pointing out that Ross Atkins traded Sean Reid-Foley and Yennsy Diaz for Steven Matz and replaced both of their 40-man spots with Payamps and Castro who might be better than either.

 

We’ll see how it shakes out, but looking like a huge W.

Yeah, that's some pretty f***ing awesome GMing if it keeps going the way it has been so far. 6 more years of control on Castro and Payamps too.

Assuming he can keep this level of performance up at least to mid season Matz is a guy they should seriously look into extending past this season, he has looked like a top of the rotation pitcher so far. Totally amazing trade given how little was given up and how dramatically they have Matz turned around up to this point.

Blue Jays lose Ryu to IL with Springer activated

We get Springer back and lose Ryu. Also surprised we optioned Tellez down...

This was also essentially a salary dump from the Mets and I was one of many at the time complaining about the possibility that paying Matz his $5M or so could prevent them from paying Paxton $15M or so. The Jays made out like bandits even from that perspective.

[Ryu In My House]

I agree. If he is not < 95% and he re-injures himself I will be super angry. He is ours for 5-years. He doesn't have to come back before he is ready. Hopefully he was held back because Scherzer.

Must've been from excessive clenching. Thanks, defense!

[Thaddeus Malice]

Both Biggio and Bichette are near the bottom of their positions defensively. It sucks that we're wedded to Bichette at SS for the moment, because moving him to 3B, moving Biggio back to second and moving Semien to SS is probably worth a decent amount of value at this point.

I caught last night that the Nationals team says that Roark is at home contemplating retirement. We'll have to see what comes from that.

Jays should facilitate the decision. If not, just abuse that arm as a mop up guy. Get something out of what is being paid.

He should at least take the last huge deal he's going to get. Can't see him passing up the remaining 12M.

I think when it’s mutually agreed on, you still get paid and there’s no need for the charade

[saskjayfan]

Nate off to AAA to continue his rehab. Interesting to see Manoah starting at AAA this year.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Hopefully by roughly the all star break the two towers are healthy, performing really well and making up 2/5 of the Jays rotation.

[Spanky99]

Martine Gaillard mentioned on SN that all Jays games are pushed back a half hour to 7:37 from here on forward at TD Park, because of the sun obviously.

 

Also...

Would be nice

 

But I'm thinking more likely Pearson starting and Manoah in the pen

[Spanky99]

If this was posted... my bad, but it's sooo good!

I love this. Hopefully we'll see him in the majors some day.

[Spanky99]

We have severed all ties with Tanner Roark.

 

Did he retire, were those reports true? DFA...

 

[G-Snarls]

For real?

[G-Snarls]

Wow

 

That's great news

[wilko]

Roark DFA'd and Hernandez back!
