I agree, you just never hear any rumblings from VAncouver of anyone even remotely interested in heading up an effort to get a team there. They have the same kind of stadium issues as Montreal too, an old dump that could be used (BC Place) but isn't ideal.

Grand Prairie, Alberta.... close.

Is it a coincidence that all 3 ejections over sticky stiff since they started checking have been done by Cuzzi?

Jays 2023 Pen - Good or Good Enough?

See what you did? Cursed the kid with that horrible pun. -

FFS…Pop and Cimber all with 2 outs?
-
Good God, it was 2-1, bases loaded with nine out after the Lukes walk, then I went to the gym for 30 minutes. I come back it’s 8-1. Wtf just happened?

Biggio is a tough guy to judge though over 33 PAs where his babip is .176. There's so much random s*** in that sample size... his K rate is slightly up, his walk rate is slightly down... He could have 2 games going 3/4 and his numbers would look normal again just with the sample size. I dunno, I'm sure with him it's well past the point of him being expected to be anything but a stop gap/multi-positional utility guy. He's still an excellent baserunner for what it's worth.

Clearly they have no plans to win this year with this kind of fun happening in the dugout
-
Over the past week he's a 131 OPS+ with a couple doubles and has a 6 game hit streak with 3 of those games being multihit games. Im not saying it's right or wrong to be playing him, just thinking that's probably what the Jays are doing, riding the hot hand while the other guy (Biggio) struggles I will say though I'd rather see Biggio in the OF than Lukes. Lukes probably better defensively since he plays CF, but Biggio is the better stick for sure.
-
If it's a scheduled DH day for Springer, Belt just has to sit unless Vlad is getting a full day off. The rationale for Merrifield in at 2b over Biggio is probably just that Merrifield is hot and they want to ride it ... and figure Lukes in the OF and Merrifield at 2B is better defensively than Biggio at 2b and Merrifield in RF. Speculation on my part a bit I guess.
-
It's like he has this little pause in his swing right now, I dont know how to fully describe it but its like he starts his weight transfer, and just hold his hands back for another split second like he's trying to decide whether to swing or not, then cuts it loose and he's already late. I think his issues are with trying to wait too long
-
Nowhere to go but... up?
-
Merrifield is pretty hot right now (9 for his last 25 with 2 doubles) probably just want to keep him in there and ride with it

Was like Leo Jimenez a few seasons back when he hit .315/.517/.381 with 1 HR.

They just beat a s***** AAA pitcher, not like the result was ever in doubt. I don't think i've ever seen a softer schedule to open a season ever. Through May 4th from the start of the season they will only have faced 2 teams that aren't bottom dwelling nobodies or at best a .500 team (Boston) We'll find out more about Tampa in May when they go up against the Yankees, Orioles, Yankees, Mets, Brewers, Blue Jays and Dodgers in consecutive series. They'll have a cushion built up of course from steamrolling the dumpster fires up till then, but their record in May will be far more accurate as to how good they really are.

The one game i saw at Rogers center a few years ago I sat in those TD zone seats with the wife. Those were very good seats I must say, I was just to the 3B side.

GDT: 2/3 Blue Jays @ Astros. April 18, 8:10 ET
John_Havok replied to JaysAllMighty's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Solid night for the HP ump again. -
Didn't the renovations change the angle of all those wrongly pointed seats back towards the plate?
-
Those reserved areas... lots of times its company big wigs booking them to do nothing but talk business and schmooze clients, they could give 2 rat shits about the game, it's just a way to write off your expenses.
-
Both can be problems if left unchecked. BAsically as it stands now, the super rich teams are paying other teams money to simply not compete against them.
-
That'll be part of the new questions when you go to buy tickets. annual household income under 100,000? Okay, youre options are the 500 level ... or standing room in the concourse. Thanks! No sir, tickets in that area are for people who can actually afford to be here. We call them our "people who actually succeed in life" tickets. Anything else I can help with?

Sure, but my point is that despite being atrocious at everything related to running a baseball team, they are making money for their ******** owner because of the revenue sharing in place from all the teams that actually give a f***. Seriously, their attendance is garbage year after year and the owner is still pocketing 10s of millions in profits. With the way the revenue sharing works, there's literally no incentive for teams like theirs to even try fielding competitive teams. Their attendance this season would be 250,000 total, and theyd still makes 10s of millions in profits. It's a joke that MLB needs to do something about real f***ing fast, or youll see other orgs do the exact same thing. People whine that the Mets owner is bad for the game by spending? f*** no. The guys ruining baseball are the all the gusy spending 50 million or less on payrolls while rolling in revenue sharing cash.
