  1. Looking forward to seeing Rowdy in TO sometime this summer
  2. i'm sure theres a counter argument behind closed doors that longer games = more beer sales + more advert $$
  3. Just equip them with a helmet and a VR screen where pitch tracker will show up immediately after the pitch.
  4. This. Hitters and pitchers should be on a strict time limit between the last pitch and being ready for the next one. Use a 3 strikes and you're ejected approach to enforce it. The pitchers and hitters monkeying around is where the real delay is.
  5. Just announce the starting 9 during a warm up before the game, ending with the batterymates, and get on with it. In golf, there is no anthem, just each player is announced before they tee off.
  6. Not stupid at all. What the hell do national anthems have to do with professional sports events?
  7. Agree.... a bit of a wing and a prayer bullpen. Was much stronger (on paper at least) going into 2016.
  8. ^ he's sick of being slagged through the mud on here
  9. Who would you trade. I don't see any surplus on this team, so you would be raiding the prospect cupboard?
  10. Exactly this. And also, these value signings have trade value if it comes to that.

    His sparring partner should have done the honourable thing and removed the helmet/visor. The blood from martin was from his hand.
  12. Yes, keep some money for a Liriano type deal, a bad contract and a couple of good prospects
  13. This is St Mary's Golf and Country Club? A fairly good course.
  14. Fair enough and yes Kang is better than I thought. Just trying to get a sense of what kind of return JD would bring.
  15. If Jays s*** the bed and Pitt is looking good at the AS break, would JD return Meadows and Keller? Pitt laughs and hangs up?
  16. voted similar team reminds me of the .500 teams from between 95 and 2015.... chance to be very good, but with a few bad breaks mediocre or worse last season was lucky health wise team needs infusion of young blood and by their comments, Shatkins is working towards this
  17. Social media is a minefield for sports stars and celebrities. Put something out there that's just a bit contentious or silly and get a thousand disses.
  18. Vegas has the Jays as 12th best, tied with 3 other teams at 30-1 odds to win WS. Not that great. There isn't much available, and it does not make sense for Jays to incrementally increase their chances by trading prospects or cost controlled players like Barnes for vets. Now, if the Jays still had EE and were 15-1 odds or something like that, there is merit to such moves.
  19. My guess is #2. They have already stated they want to get more grade A prospects into the farm system. Presumably to build a future perennial contender around Vlad (if he pans out of course) and others. My preference is they don't move prospects for declining vets like Robertson, and still manage to get into the post season.
  20. I said anything can happen. Where do you rank the Jays currently, among the other MLB teams?
  21. I understand that - the Jays will be fighting for 2 wild card spots with a team with holes that had amazing luck with pitcher health the past two years. Anything can happen, but a betting man is betting against. Edit: against winning the WS, that is.
  22. If you are referring to me, not objecting to him. Just not for a cost controlled pitcher with upside like Barnes - and especially when its hard to see the Jays being serious contenders.
  23. Steamer has Barnes at 0.6 WAR, Robertson at 0.8 WAR. Barnes has upside, Robertson on the downside of his career. I would say there is a decent chance Barnes 2017 is Biagini 2016.
  24. Not a name thrown out there. wk680 proposed Barnes for Robertson and $10M. I'm saying that's a bad deal. Isn't that the purpose of BJMB, to discuss these things?
  25. No. I agree with Thanos there's a decent chance Barnes outperforms Robertson and factoring in salary and years of control, deal does not make sense unless CWS eats a big chunk of the salary. Like $20M of the $25M owed. Even then it's an iffy deal.
