    I think I could get some agreement from peeps here that Fenway smells more like piss than any s***** strip club's urinals, at closing time, than any other stadium ever made.

    Joey bats is looking at this right now whining about that one dot all by itself. he knew it was a ball! lol
  4. o2cui2i
    thanks... that's a better reference. side note: amazing how many walks the jays pitchers have been giving up the last couple of years despite this. I guess it's hard to take advantage of a bigger strike zone with JPA waving at every pitch and Navarro not being able to see or reach down to his feet for years. why did they trade Kratz again? oh yeah, so Dickey could keep his pet monkey.
  5. o2cui2i
    is this an anomaly just comparing two cherry picked years or is it something they have noticed shift slowly over time? the post only shows two years... it would be more interesting if it showed each year over the 5.

    this is just AA taking a flyer on a guy and this time it's a good move. Hopefully AA has a better off season this year.
  7. o2cui2i
    Rasmus most likely never coming back to TO. Cabrera probably gets a QA and declines. I hope that Pompey has a monster fall and maybe plays some winter league. He could be a better option for CF. not quite as fast as Gose, but smarter player and hits better than Gose from both sides.

    half a bucket of Double Bubble
  9. o2cui2i
    the Rays probably will.

    it would be nice to see Pompey and Jimenez get regular starts for the jays. That would mean AA having to tell Dickey that his pet has to be put down and possibly Gose platooning with Pillar in RF. That would let the jays have some solid money to go out and get a 2nd baseman.

    yupp....
  12. o2cui2i
    sour grapes.... no baseball tonight and our team isn't playing anyways. lol it's also 2:35am....
  13. o2cui2i
    LOL... no! but I dare you. making a team is not about boxing in a couple of stars with replacement guys. Jays have too many guys in their lineup who dont play smart enough to make them viable. every team has fringe players, but the jays fringe players get way to many AB and many of them are AAAA players. we went into 2014 with literally no bench. We didn't even have guys in the minors who were developed well enough to step in and play. we have had a problem with 2nd since Hill's fall off year. Plenty of time to draft and develop a proper 2nd baseman. yet we started with Goins?? 67 games with a WAR -0.6. surely they should have been able to draft and they had 3 years to get a guy who could be at least a 1 or 2 war 2nd baseman? they didn't have to have a superstar, but someone who at least knew where the bat rack is located? there are problems in the decision making and development process.
  14. o2cui2i
    no, but it sure makes it easier to do. the reason this is even a subject is because the Cards keep making long playoff runs and most of their team is home grown players. They have an amazing team and spend a lot less than other teams. not sure about this year, but last year 17 of their 25 man roster were players they drafted. edit: we have seen AA and his trades. So glad to have Reyes eating up so much payroll for another 3 years.
  15. o2cui2i
    who was the last top position player the jays got from draft to MLB roster. Hinske? ROY and then gone...
  16. o2cui2i
    discipline... since this thread is about the cards, we can look at how they develop and play the game. Guys who dont play the cards way are not there long. We have Rasmus because he couldn't play Cards ball. you have to instill a mentality of doing things right from day 1. Jays players as a whole are horrible with fundamental baseball. which base to throw to, when to steal, when to take a pitch, when to shut up and go sit down after a strike out. good teams play smart baseball and there are no weak spots mentally. I'd say the jays dont fall into that category. I'm not talking about having bad games or about the occasional mental fart. knowing what to do and when to do it.... that is how you start. gump Lind Gose.... the list doesn't stop there
  17. o2cui2i
    take Stroman off the development list. he was pretty much ready to pitch when he was drafted. if the hadn't got suspended he would have been up even faster. Jays have depth in pitching. They dont have depth in bats or position players. Pompey was a good pick low guy because of his injuries. He could be a huge piece going forward if he can stay healthy. were Lind and Goins the only players drafted by the jays to play a position before sept?
  18. o2cui2i
    lol yeah... just 1 team in the system. Bisons Fisher cats Dunedin Lansing Vancouver Bluefield GCL DSL Jays need to have a system that spans the entire organization. It's the only long term way to make things work. you cant just fix it at one level.
  19. o2cui2i
    Jays make their drafting process even worse by being one of the worst teams in baseball when it comes to development. Jays screw up some good draft picks every season. even with optimal drafts the jays would just screw up good players. Jays need to rebuild from Low A all the way to the CEO.

    someone send this to Rogers http://www.strathayr.com/turf-systems/removeable-natural-turf-system

    the RC could grow their own grass outside the park and put it in for games and then move it out again after the team goes on the road again. they did it for Soccer games in the world cup when they played in the USA. takes about the same amount of time to lay out as the turf. http://www.strathayr.com/getattachment/Turf-Systems/Removeable-Natural-Turf-System/Reliant-Stadium-side-module-view.JPG.aspx?width=438
  22. o2cui2i
    apparently you've never heard of turf burn. If the grass is done properly it is a little loose close to the surface so you cut up a divot instead of scratching across the top. If the jays dont at least put a dirt base path for next year the FO is ridiculous.

    giants feeling a disturbance in the force....
  24. o2cui2i
    not sure in what world Izturis is an upgrade over anyone at SS. he's barely a bench player in the majors. that was a pretty stupid 3 year deal.
  25. o2cui2i
    The island isn't going to happen. pretty much impossible to get 40,00 people back and forth for a game. I'm pretty sure the old stadium was pretty small. 17,000 max... in the second build of the stadium. if they build a stadium for 40k+ it would be difficult to figure out how to get people in and out for a game. No trains, subways, buses, parking.... trying to Ferry over 40,000 people plus staff, police and all the sidewalk buskers. it would be a nightmare that would make going to the RC seem like rolling out of bed.
