If I was in charge... I'd cut off all external contact for Rasmus and Lawrie and do hitting drills until their hands bleed or until they hit in games. I wouldn't lift the ban all year. cut them off and make them focus. they might not like it to start but I'd bet they would come back to say thanks for being so hard and making them all they could be.
Ramus and Lawrie shouldn't be doing any non baseball events for the team.
Jose got picked off a couple times in ST, ran when he had no chance and it was a bad time for the team, now it's carried over to the season. he needs to be sharper.
why not... it's a perfectly reasonable clause in an era where they want to appear to care about PEDs. if they disagree they look like they really dont care... win win!!
now if they can just convince Dickey that Thole is a sack of s*** and that Kratz is the guy, we can trade off and let Dickey pitch where and when he wants.
nothing wrong with what Colby is wearing... it's the fact that he's wearing out a path in the turf dragging his ass back to the dugout after striking out that is a problem.
I think that cost the jays losses last year. what good is any slider pitcher if he is afraid his catcher cant catch it? jays have some arms with amazing breaking stuff and JP was afraid to call for pitches he couldn't catch and pitcher were afraid to turn it lose when he did dare to call for it.
haven't been able to even watch them for a few weeks. they just go so bad that it wasn't worth my time.
still watching Raptors though. hope they can make it to second round this year.
