General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

Cannot wait to watch Babe Schneider in person at Coors Field this weekend.

 

I debated on whether I should sit in left field so I'd have a shot at one of the dingers he's going to hit or if I should sit behind the visitor's dugout.

 

I chose behind so I could give John Schneider (no relation to Babe) a piece of my mind during the games.

Had thoughts of going to Denver but didn’t work out. That’s the #1 place I want to go see the Jays. Maybe in 2025

Is Coors Field a top 5 park?

[John_Havok]

Is Coors Field a top 5 park?

 

I’ve only been to a few but…going by experience and then reputation…

 

San Fran, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Colorado, Seattle and Minnesota would be my top picks.

Make sure to remind him that Kirk has the 8th slowest sprint speed in all of MLB

Coors Field was one of my favourite ballparks I've been to. It's definitely in my Top 3. Still has a nice blend of modern/historic feel to it (built in 1995 I believe). The mountains and skies are amazing as well. Great place to watch a ball game.

San Fran, San Diego, Colorado, Seattle and Houston are my top picks. Still need to visit Pittsburgh and Minnesota.

Still a better base runner than Moreno

Coming down to Toronto for the 4th game of the Texas series and one of the Redsox games, excited that there’s a chance it could be a huge game.

The Texas games will be huge. Anything less than a split, the season is almost certainly over. Really need a solid 3-1 in that series though to have a decent shot at the postseason

Not only is it shocking that he's not the slowest, but the fact that there are 7 people slower is amazing.

Cool, where are you coming from?

It is shocking lol. Most of them are old though. Big Rowdy is the only one under 30 that's slower.

I thought Kirk was your dude, man? How quickly you've turned your back on the dude.

[bones10]

b.c !

I'm not happy about it but breakups happen. This sub .700 OPS nonsense is not gonna fly.

[Nursehoneybadger]

im from BC. We should meet for a coffee date. Will travel.

Someone get on the gdt....

Is it wrong to have more confidence in the bottom 5 of the batting order vs the top four?

No.

Palmegiani was promoted to Buffalo.

 

Good for him

[Omar]

Schneider just said that Jansen has a minor fracture in his right middle finger. Get ready for some Heineman. s*** luck.

Use Varsho. He hits like a backup catcher anyways

Yeah this is the time when Varsho being the backup C would be extremely useful.

 

Not sure why the front office refuses to play him there

If they traded Moreno for him, they obviously see him as a franchise type talent. Probably want to protect his body

Varsho is a bulldog. Im still shocked he didn’t destroy his knee on that streal attempt last week, looked like he was done for. But nah, totally fine.

 

Dude is built different

WC is super tight now

 

And Boston has pretty much played themselves out of it with 5 straight losses
