  1. Is it just me or does it look like Travis has closed up his stance even more than usual?
  2. 7 straight pitches on the outer half, christ try something inside just to change his eyes. He's leaning so far out...
  3. Put hit this way, not scoring on that wild pitch was not a massive error. It wasnt a guarantee and it didn't even make it to them on deck circle. He could very well have been DOA even with an instant break. Bautista's mind numbing stupidity and inability to adjust to anything was a much bigger problem.
  4. Yeah, the one change so far this year is like a 4% change in swing rate at balls out of the zone, and a few % more contact on strikes in relating to his career averages. It's not enough to explain this massive inflation of numbers. I wonder if his exit velocity is any different
  5. No kidding. The entire stadium knew a slider was coming.
  6. Bautista guessing again, he saw 1 fastball out of 6 pitches in this AB yet still guessing fastball everytime. That last one didn't even start as a strike.
  7. Nah, they'll steamroll the Celtics or Wizards. Might be 1 or 2 good games though
  8. The Raptors will have to play amazing and the Cavs have to play badly for the Raptors to win this series. It just won't happen. The talent difference between the two teams is huge, despite the regular season records being close.
  9. Morales Made this pick after game start but prior to the Jays hitting. Understand if the pick won't count, got in late.

    Kinda cool scene in Edmonton last night. The mic stopped working for the American national anthem and they couldn't get it working again so the crowd sang the American anthem instead.
  11. I'll be optimistic and say Cleveland in 6.
  12. The Nationals have more runs scored in the last 6 games(73) than the Royals have the entire season so far(63).
  13. Anyone else notice that Jake Thomas has an obp of .532 and a walk rate north of 30%? Sure he's old for Lansing, but damn.
  14. Ditto. It's hard to take any hitter against Thor. I stayed well away from it as well. Still kicking myself for taking out Rendon and putting in Bryant.
  15. No kidding. That's crazy. Need Bryant to go off...
  16. I swapped out Rendon for Bryant at the last minute.... f***. Also f*** the St. Louis pen for f***ing up what would have been a stellar Leake pick. Just f***
  17. Sunday 30th april Game 25:Jays still suck Bautista (2 Pts)-o2 Donaldson (2 Pts)- Morales (3 pts)- johnhavok Tulo (4 Pts)- Martin (4 Pts)- Smoak (5 Pts)- Pearce (5 Pts)- Travis (6 Pts)- Pillar (7 Pts)- Barney (9 Pts)- Carerra (9 Pts)- Goins (9 Pts)- Coghlan (6 Pts)- Maile (9 Pts)- Bench/Pitcher (10 Pts)
  18. If you have to ask, it's probably a bad thing....
  19. For pitchers especially, who have much higher risk of career de-railing injuries, there quite a few reasons why long term extensions could be signed from the pitchers POV But that's also generally why you don't see teams offering long extensions to pitchers who still have years of control left. There's not a ton of upside for FOs to do so with that risk of injury plus the inherent volatility of pitchers in general
  20. I'm reserved, I always wait until about 10 am Sunday to set the lineup. Gotta know about rain.
  21. Thing is, the Jays aren't really in the position that they'll be counting on this years draft to start the rebuild. Selling many of the veteran assets they have right now will net prospects and or roster players already further along in development, not to mention the current farm assets that might be ready by 2019. The additional draft picks from finishing near last this year and probably next will just add to that pipeline and be a bonus 3-4 years from now.
  22. I'd say the chances are pretty likely it starts this year, but the chances of good returns on Jose, Tulo.... not very good. Huge return could be expected for Donaldson. Maybe good returns for Happ, Estrada, Osuna and Liriano.... The real test of the start of the rebuild will be if they choose to move Sanchez and/or Stroman. Young controllable pitchers that don't suck are quite valuable in trade. Stripping it down that far would be debateable given they don't have anything in the pipeline for pitching at this point that you could deem major league ready.
  23. That would awfully aggressive. Spending 2 months+ at Lansing and then, if they're still raking, I could see a promoton to Dunedin, but I very highly doubt they'll see AA this season unless they're out of their minds still and the FO just wants them to get a taste OF AA and plan on starting them there in 2018. So, possible I guess, but not likely
