General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)

Is Cole Hamels or Kluber available?

 

[Eat My Shatkins]

They are available for PTA meetings and Bocce ball.

[The_DH]

so Wes Parsons made the opening day roster. I have to admit, the Parsons I saw last year I expected to be outrighted over the winter. He was awful. This spring was a totally different pitcher.

Yeah, he walked more.

[Laika]

they'll probably use Parsons once then swap him out for a reliever.

[The_DH]

I figured he and White would be used with Francis and Gausman.

Yes probably

One will be held back to throw 40+ pitches after Gausman

The other will be ready to replace Francis or maybe even Kikuchi, if they cannot give the team any innings on their first turn

[The_DH]

It'll probably depend on the score but yes. Probably White in more of a mop up type roll (which used to be more of a thing) and Parsons where it's in tighter. Either one could go 3-4 innings easily.

[G-Snarls]

Can't wait for game 1!!!!!!

[Brownie19]

who's got the GDT for tomorrow? Can't f*** this up.

Shi reporting that Vlad will bat 2nd and Bo 3rd. With Turner 4th.

 

I don't understand this one.

[The_DH]

Depends on which Vladdy we get. He's got a lot to prove this year.

[L54]

Should just hit Vlad lead off to limit GIDP opportunities

[Laika]

Honestly might be a decent justification to having Bo behind Vlad and not in front of him

[BatFlip]

Sad, but true.

Let's goooooooo!

Yup they need the innings for the road trip, as expected.

So the only question left related to the 26-man or 40-man is who is being removed from the 40 for Vogelbach

Correct, they have to do it 3 hrs before game time tomorrow, so very shortly, likely today.

 

Barker gave me false hope that Romano would be ready for the Houston series.

[BatFlip]

 

 

Holy s***, Ernie Clement is pretty damn fast - that's close to elite speed. I knew he had wheels, but I'm still surprised.

I just have fingers crossed that Romano and Swanson's injuries are not severe and 60 day IR type injuries. The delay is probably because they have to put somebody on waivers and want to do it as late as possible. The waiver wire tomorrow has to be pretty big.

Dude, chillax. No black clouds yet man.

Hey fingers are just crossed, I'm not sitting in the corner shaking.

[Spanky99]

Roto Wire suggests the Jays are to go by committee to close the games for now, makes sense, but I can't find anything on Schneider saying that...

 

Blue Jays are expected to use a committee at closer to start the season. Chad Green, Yimi Garcia and Tim Mayza seem to be the most likely candidates.

[The_DH]

Mayza Green and Garcia as a committee may be the obvious guess.

[The_DH]

Just noticed Horwitz is still in camp. He could get waived.
