Well if it’s Big Mac, a 50hr season is entirely possible

The actual question is what wOBA does Jansen need to maintain to keep the starting job. McGuire is as good as gone

[Abomination]

No kidding, I will bet for every deal that is made, 9 are seriously pondered by 2+ teams. That would make for a great read, a book on the near deals.

 

It would probably get every GM in the game fired lol.

Yep, with a week and half left to go, Kirk might have the 2nd C position on lockdown. He would have to make a series of defensive miscues to get sent down.

Asked by @SNJeffBlair & @richarddeitsch on @FAN590 about Thomas Hatch, GM Ross Atkins said “everything is mild in nature” based on what #BlueJays know. Hatch will rest for a week & Jays will gather more info, but Atkins doesn't expect "that there’s anything too serious there”

 

Interesting, I thought he was in big trouble after that outing.

[Spanky99]

So should we expect a crappy lineup for tomorrow's televised game or will the big boys be in action?

 

It's in Dunedin, all you need to know.

I picked up my tickets for Game 2 of season. They had upper infield left for $66 by time I caught it. Not bad

Cool, you'll be in Florida for how long, I imagine your boy is with you?

Damn dude that's sick! Stay safe out there.

 

Looks like good news that the Jays might be back in Toronto for May 14 possibly. Now when fans will be allowed to the games is another story.

 

Blue Jays CEO has 'good information' teams will be vaccinated in 2-4 weeks

Yeah going to visit colleges. University of Tampa. Hope is he plays baseball there. D2 but National Champs. If he didn’t get my defective 5’10 genetics (he’s LHT so it’s either 1b of OF) he’d be good D1 prospect. He’s gotten interest from small D1 schools by me but he’s intent to go to school down South no matter what

 

Going to visit couple other schools too down there

Doctor Spanky?

[Spanky99]

It's in Dunedin, all you need to know.

 

Oops... it isn't in Dunedin, my bad.

[Spanky99]

Doctor Spanky?

 

Vet?

Lol all good. Our guys are playing today anyways. Finally getting watch our top guys properly

[Deadpool]

Those batting averages look gross, but y'know, batting average.

[saskjayfan]

Man....it's so much fun watching Springer in Blue!

[BlueRocky]

Phillies broadcast jerking off to the Jays lineup

But being completely oblivious to Captain Kirk...

Yeah, small sample but they should be ramping it up from here on out, lots of playing time coming.

[Stangstag]

Semien looks like ass so far, shouldn’t be hitting 2nd to start the season until he finds his groove

[BlueRocky]

Ouch GDP Semien

[Spanky99]

Can't blame em, lol.

[Jays24]

But being completely oblivious to Captain Kirk...

 

"Surprised the Jays didn't go after a catcher in the offseason."

 

Wish Kirk was starting today to show them lol.

[BlueRocky]

Hey Bo nice hit

[saskjayfan]

Nice to see Bo get a double....not that I'm worried about Bo.

[Spanky99]

Bo knows hitting!

[Deadpool]

Bo knows hitting!

 

Your age is showing Spanky. (My age is also showing for getting that reference...)

[Jays24]

Semien looks like ass so far, shouldn’t be hitting 2nd to start the season until he finds his groove

 

Bo should be batting 2nd and Vlad should be 3rd with the way he's swinging the bat. I'm sure it'll work out the way it's supposed to after a month or so. Assuming Semien was promised to bat near the top of the order to start the year.
