Golf? You can be geriatric and still be a pro golfer.

[The Cats Ass]

darts?

 

True

I like baseball because any body type can succeed. Like, what other sport would Kirk be able to excel at?

 

Darts. Bowling. Poker.

Hand eye coordination is off the charts. Any sport involving hitting a ball with a club. Baseball, golf, cricket, ping pong, badminton.

 

We have a true mult-sport athlete on our hands.

I’m excited to see Thomas Hatch today. Keep an eye out for a curveball he’s apparently been working on this offseason. It’s going to tunnel really well with the rest of his pitches.

 

He’s one of the few pitchers that check every box for me in terms of becoming a good starting pitcher:

 

- High-spin, moderate velocity fastball

- Effective secondary pitches that can get both sides of the plate out

- Incredibly poised and composed on the mound

- Clean bill of health and limited injuries up to this point

- Smooth, easy delivery test

- No discernible issue throwing strikes on a consistent basis

 

 

Have a feeling he might end up being one of our best starters/bulk guys.

The best part is they Jays got him for basically nothing!

It's time for the annual sports gut threads.

I'm also high on Hatch. Very smooth delivery.

Game is on SN...

Do we have a 2021 bold predictions thread yet?

 

Because I'm ready to make some really bold proclamations about winning 100 games after we put up 10 runs against the AA Tigers.

[Jays24]

So the game they broadcast, the Jays decide to play the scrubs but yesterday they play everyone. BOOOOOOO!!!

[Spanky99]

If Davis' bat didn't break, that ball would've been gone.

[Stangstag]

Lol what was that play jesus

[Spanky99]

Well, that was dumn.

Most of the rookies take the bus, the guys in Dunedin will play an intra-squad game, basically how it works in ST.

[Orgfiller]

lol Vlad

[Laika]

whyyyyyy is Vlad such an aggressive baserunner

 

dude wears a f***ing sliding glove like he is Rajai Davis

[Spanky99]

Nice poke by Espinal.

[saskjayfan]

What's the deal with Trent thornton. Is he still hurt or is he in camp throwing?

[Stangstag]

Generally I agree but I think most guys would have been doubled up in that situation

[Orgfiller]

He basically sprinted to second on contact, it was a very low IQ play. On a ball hit to the shortstop you probably should be able to at worst take one step to second and have plenty of time to retreat. Vlad was out by 6 feet.

[Orgfiller]

Gotta love vetrin Tommy Milone coming into the game and destroying some poor teenager with crafty changeups.

[dineke]

Wait Vanessa Hudgens isn't with Zac Efron anymore?

[saskjayfan]

Who is Vanessa Hudgens.

 

Cole Tucker's girlfriend.

[Spanky99]

Cole Tucker's girlfriend.

 

He was with her at the end of last season.

Ballsy baserunning by Espinal.

[Deadpool]

Uhh, that was a catch. What the the f***ing world was the ump thinking not calling that an out?
