General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

[Jonn]

I went to a roof closed game with Bassitt starting vs the Astros.

 

2 hour game and a W.

 

You’re just a fake fan, plain and simple

 

The fakest without a doubt.

[Carlos Danger]

Our top RP and top SP both with some type of injury/issue.. Not good...

The experience with the roof closed is awful after visiting other ballparks in the US. I'm not a big fan.

 

As well, with the price of tickets going up every season under Shapiro, expensive food and beer, and lineups + the time to get downtown and back if you live outside of the city. Would rather spend that money on a brand new 77" OLED television with the top of line speaker system out there (I just did lol).

 

Also, this week the Honda Indy is on, so public transit and downtown in general will be a zoo.

Yea I really don't enjoy going with the roof closed in the Summer time. Of course I will make an exception for early April games and Post Season games.

Got the Samsung 77" 4K HDR S95CA 2023 Atmos OLED TV and Samsung Q Series 11.1.4 Ch. Dolby Atmos Soundbar with rear speakers. Going to make watching baseball, movies and playing video games real fun!

Yeah I'll make the exception for April games and Postseason games as well. If there is a team or player I really want to see, will make the exception.

Have you seen Cody Bellinger play recently? Man you took huge L on that one lol

f*** I took the advice from the Sheriff and some other posters on this board about trading Bellinger for Chris Sale. So far Bellinger has hit 5 HR's since I traded him.

Terminator should have his name changed to the Shermanator.

I never advised any such thing. I myself simply released Chris Sale for nothing in a dynasty recently.

The butthurt fanboys coming out of the woodwork when KK is still out WARing him on a per dollar basis pretty easily. Nice try.

We could have really used a .900 OPS bat in the lineup. But Kiermaier has been great as well. It still doesn’t change the fact that you said he was done lol.

[Terminator]

I came out guns blazing making several bold claims and predictions this past offseason and the best the toilets of the board can do is claim that I'm basically right but also kind of wrong at the same time. Nice try guys.

[Carlos Danger]

So are they going to wait for the next Bassitt start to give away the camo shirts? Or they going to give them out when another pitcher is pitching?

They always were, CD. It's really not a big deal.

This is such fake news. I didn't even know what you were talking about until Jim bumped the fantasy thread and I now see what you are referencing. I didn't even know Sale was a part of your original question. I simply saw Laika post about how bad Bellinger has been before his recent hot streak and made a comment on it. Never said to trade Sale for him. As I said before I dumped Sale for nothing in a dynasty because I ran out of IL slots. I demand a full retraction.

Why would you do that in a Dynasty??? 8 team Dynasty or something?

14 teamer and it's technically an 18 keeper not dynasty. There were salary factors as well that are too hard to explain. Also ran out of IL slots with Oneil Cruz and others.

It's fine, Sale is basically in death throes, like King Felix at the end

That makes sense, now.

Sounds similar to my setup. I have an LG 77" C1 and Samsung Q950a sound bar. I've really enjoyed 4K Netflix, the shows with Atmos Audio sound absolutely fantastic. I've also found my set has really nice upscaling so even 1080p content looks a let better. Sports are a dream to watch. I made the jump to 4K once Shaw finally offered a 4K Sportsnet package in Calgary so I could watch Jays and Flames games (when available) in 4K. PS5 gaming is a real treat, as VRR does a nice job of smoothing out any framerate variations.

Through 93 games:

 

2023 - 52-41

2022 - 50-43

2021 - 48-45

2016 - 51-42

2015 - 46-47

 

The 2023 Jays have the best record after their first 93 games out of all the good years over the last decade. Last time this historically slow starting team had 52 wins in the first 93 games was back in 2006. Last time they had more than that was 1992.

 

You guys are going to need to step up the whining again before this team goes on an 8 game losing streak.

[Dick_Pole]

I think part of the reason why this board gangs up on guys like Connor so much is that board consensus tends to be way over-reactionary and not right very often so they take wins where they can get them. The guy is wrong on this first baseman s*** but more like bad opinion wrong rather than 2+2=5 level of wrong. Meanwhile two weeks ago people were saying the Jays should blow it all up and trade Bichette lol.

 

Now we got guys talking 6 man rotation and Kikuchi to the pen like it's a foregone conclusion it's a luxury that's going to happen. Let's see a couple more starts out of Manoah and something out of Ryu before thinking about the overabundance of starting pitchers.

 

In fact I want you guys to going back to Krylian level of negativity or worse. If you do, I predict 96-66 season and first in the AL East. Keep up with this six man rotation s*** and it's more like 77-85.

Whit was not thrilled with the Vladdy ice bath tonight.Way overdue to put that to rest.

Yeah if I lived in Calgary I would get the best of the best so I didn't have to go outside too.
