GDT: Spring Training

[Grant77]

HBD again Big G!!!

 

Thank you sir. Go Jays!

[Spanky99]

 

Charlie's already DHing Tapia over Kirk!

[Jays24]

Charlie's already DHing Tapia over Kirk!

 

I hope we never see Taipa DH this season lol.

[Deadpool]

 

Tapia DH. IT HAS BEGUN!

[Krylian]

Tapia DH. IT HAS BEGUN!

 

I'm gonna hold out hope that this is just because it's spring training

[Spanky99]

The wheels on Vlad.

[Jays24]

What horrible base running from Vlad but ah well... it's spring lol

[saskjayfan]

I feel like some speakers are getting thrown around in the Yankees locker room tonight.

[Omar]

Hold your breath as Vladdy runs through the stop sign.

[Spanky99]

This team is damn good.

[Carlos Danger]

Tapia making contact to get the run in.

[Krylian]

Luis Heel is good hittin'

[Omar]

Jansen looking like Jansen at the plate.

[Krylian]

Springer out for 3 months with a pulled groin

[bzapple]

Ross Atkins reveals that a "heartbeat" is essential to being a major league player. This explains why we have yet to see a dead player make it to MLB.

...Yet.

 

Technology is advancing so quickly, you never know.

Jays have already been linked to the ghost of Jose Ramirez...

Make it happen Shatkins.

 

Reese McGuire and a ghost to be named later.

[Spanky99]

That was a rocket!

[Deadpool]

Need a healthy Springer this season, that was a blast.

[JaysAllMighty]

This team will be a blast to watch. I don't think we've ever had a team so offensively powerful in our history.

 

Runs galore!

[Effit]

Hope that lady is ok. Sounds like she’s being murdered.

[Signal]

Am I the only one who wishes the Jays did more to bolster the bullpen? Still think they should make a move to find another closer to compete with Romano. Always best to have two guys that you can count on to close a game.

[bzapple]

Damn that Spencer Henson guy does not look like a pro athlete at all. Some serious Jeremy Brown energy.

Moves will be made as needed. Good chance that Pearson is a 2nd high leverage reliever competing with Romano.

Given the Jays play 30 games in 31 days to begin the season, I would not be surprised if the Jays begin the season with a 6 man rotation. Especially given how short spring training has been this year. Even if they dare to go with a 5 man rotation for the first month, Pearson has not proven to be a closer. While I have high hopes for him, do think the Jays would be prudent to find another arm that has MLB experience closing out games.

Yimi saved 15 games for the Marlins

 

Bullpen arms are so volatile. Yates and Hand acquired last season, didn't work out. There is enough talent on the active roster and in the minors, let's see what we have in hand first before trading for bullpen pieces that might be shittier than what we already have.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Yeah no point in trading for BP help now.

 

Kimbrel was unhittable last year with the Cubs, gets traded to the White Sox and sucks ass. Now they've already moved him out.

 

I wanted another historically effective BP arm or two signed in free agency, like McHugh for example. But too late now for that.

[Ryu In My House]

This team will be a blast to watch. I don't think we've ever had a team so offensively powerful in our history.

 

Runs galore!

 

EE, JB and JD was a great trio, but this team, top to bottom (IMO) is just way more balanced and talented.

[Grant77]

Make it happen Shatkins.

Foreshadowing.
