I got to say I could get used to watching sports in the Mountain Time Zone -
That is such a thing of beauty. One of my favourite plays in baseball.

Don't forget obnoxious

Lindor under Shatkins did Age 17 - low A Age 18 - A Age 19 - High A (373 PA's), AA (91 PA's) Age 20 - AA (387 PA's), AAA (180 PA's) Age 21 - AAA, Majors I could see the number of PA's in the age 19 season being reversed. Like 100 in High A and 370 in AA. Then starting his age 20 season in AAA. I don't know that there is a right or wrong answer...also at some point you have to figure that him and Bichette move at different points.

okay we've established last year, this year, now tell us what he does next year. -
Anyone But the O's...and kill their pen in a 31 inning marathon

I look forward to your offer right after you are eliminated a week from Sunday
-
USC put in a blind long snapper steals the story of the day though (normally would put this in the NCAA thread but it's just a great story).

Cancel the game, I'm watching Bama and Florida State anyway.

same day I picked him up in the PL. Came here to pick him up and you already had him. Despaired not getting Polanco - things you never expected to say

So mean

Anyone but the O's

Anyone but the O's is a good motto for the rest of the season

I can hear it now...hasn't lost a game since August 3rd. Kind of veteran arm you need at this time of year.

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

I think the stadium food, security and in house production contracts are all up this off season (or next I really can't remember). Shapiro is going to be a busy man doing non baseball stuff this off-season. An absolute overhaul of the food offerings is a must. -
We need it on video for sure. My 40 time was 5.05 last time I tried. Not sure how that translates. An OF might throw me (or BTS) out because they'd be playing in so much but even still it's not like we'd be stinging it in. We need to set up a blue jays pitching staff vs. The BJMB competition.

The 90 feet aren't a problem. I am getting fat (40 lbs gained in 4 years) but I still have my legs and play ultimate regularly. When I was in Florida in 2015 I faced the 90 to 100 mph pitching machine and it took a bit but was making regular contact (not a lot of solid contact). But you also know those pitches are coming. I'm going to guess I'd be around a 70% strikeout victim and hope that I pull off a .150 BABIP to get my 25 or so hits in 600 PAs

Fresh off the greatest season in the IBL history, The Barrie Baycats have started a petition to get Paul Spoljaric into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. After his pretty short MLB career Paul has continued to give back to Canadian baseball, playing in the 2004 Olympics, and continuing with the National team program post career. Paul also played 7 years in the IBL and continues to support the games going with his wife Lisa to Baycats games. He's helped develop baseball in Northern Ontario as well. Pretty much has done it all in Ontario...for a BC kid. https://www.change.org/p/lisa-spoljaric-signature-of-support-for-paul-spoljaric-s-canadian-hof-induction-nomination?recruiter=29815784&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_email_responsive

If my memory serves me correctly this very topic (how well could any of us hit against major league pitching) caused a great argument on the old board (leading to bannings I'm sure) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/would-chris-hayes-get-a-hit-in-a-full-season-of-play/ I think back then I said give me 6 months of training and I'd hit .100+. I'm now older, not even playing slo pitch and have right shoulder, elbow and wrist issue. I'm going guess my answer now is .050 or worse.

Nick Madrigal aka Altuve part 2

Only thing I know for certain is there will not be a tear down. Much like the Rays all these years the team is going to project to be competitive. Small signings (in length not AAV) and minor trades mostly.

Happy Birthday Jaysblue

Hey who's up after Ryan Goins???? The other team

40 years ago today, Giants Play by Play man Duane Kuiper hit his first Home Run. Significant because it was his only home run...in 3754 PA's he hit one HR. 4 years ago they made a pretty funny documentary about it. Best like by Krukow
