Yeah, I would say however that Devon Travis is definitely suffering from a severe case of cranial/rectal inversion. He's a dumpster fire in every aspect of the game right now.

Fun with numbers! Prior to tonight's game, all of the jays position players have combined for 0.1 WAR. The number of individual players around baseball with 0.2 or higher? 165..... including Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray who has only 7 PA.

I'd have to see the minor league roster before I rescind the vomit comment

It's just a stupid comment to make. It's laughable

Jesus christ Buck shut up Right after comment that strike zone has been noticeably wide: "I love it. I love seeing umpires with an aggressive strike zone, make the batter's swing the bat" Translation. "I love it. I love umpires forcing hitters to swing at pitches outside the actual strike zone, because it's super easy to square up balls coming at you at 95mph already, so swinging at stuff well off the plate will lead to more strikeouts and weak contact for easy outs. I love that kind of no offense baseball."

We must not be seeing the same Bautista. He's looked bloody awful trying to run balls down. He's allowed so many extra bases on errant throws, over running balls to the wall and then watching them bounce 15 feet away from him.... His arm is maybe average at best, it's nowhere near the cannon it used to be. I'd say his crappy D has been directly responsible for probably 5-8 runs against this year in 12 games.

Vomit

Would be an interesting OF of Pompey, Pillar and DSJ, though I'm not sure hitting single digit homers from all your OF would be a good thing.

Lol CB Buckner. Just f***ing retire already http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-cb-bucknor-experience/

Realy looks like he has a good idea of what he wants to hit and recognizes breaking balls well. Some of the curves in that clip were pretty good and he didn't even give them a sniff

With the exception of. .. Liriano who's worked out nicely. That trade might keep on giving if Liriano has a good year. Flip him again for even more young guys and it's even more of a steal.

It's true, we don't know if they want to resign him, or whether he would even want to resign when at his age, he's probably looking at 1 free agent contact in his career. Lots of players find that a hard thing not to test out especially when you're a great player. However one can reasonably speculate what the management is leaning towards, given their track record from their previous team. My speculation is that the only way they resign Donaldson is if the Jays are: 1) in very good spot for a playoff position by the all star break. And then , only if #1 is true 2) Donaldson is willing to sign an extension in the 4 year/100 million range before the trade deadline this year. And then only if #2 is true 3) they really feel strongly about another playoff run in 2018 #2 wouldn't even come into consideration if the Jays are way out of a spot because at that point Donaldson will be at his highest value to any team trading for him because they would get at least 2 potential playoff runs with him before free agency. There no logical reason to keep Donaldson for 2018 if you aren't making the playoffs this year and he's your best trade chip to kickstart the inevitable rebuild. Yes, he would still have value before the start of next season, and yes he would still have value at next year's deadline, but it's inarguable that his highest value would be at this years deadline assuming he is healthy.

Not much physical projection left... bust.

Yeah, I always stay away from games with rain forecast for that reason, it adds even more uncertainty to an already uncertain situation.

Is anyone named Fries in the pipeline?

Ditto. Had Hill, Hamilton, Seager and Sano put up less than 5 points total and barely missed the points. Not a lot of days where that quartet would put up s*** numbers like that

Man, anyone looking to market the NHL should just show people this Washington Toronto OT tonight. f***ing crazy action

I think I made it this week also

How's Pillar doing? You don't get to take shots at other posters for small sample size thread bumps when you make judgments on small sample size spring training numbers.

Looks like I didn't miss much
