I tweeted at the Barry D podcast account with a quote from Gary. They loved it and asked for the link which they showed Barry. I asked if Barry could stop by some time for a chat and they said yes and sent us a DM with the podcast email address. Barry replied saying he would love to do something like this but just to give him a few day and time options for his schedule. He has band rehearsal next Wednesday so we decided on Thursday. I think it will be fun. I don't get all the hate but people like to complain about anything.

After some emails, Barry Davis has agreed to come to the BJMB to hang out and answer some questions next Thursday (Apr 13, 7 ET), around the time the Jays game starts. There should be an official thread posted a few hours before he is supposed to come and there he will be hanging out. Also, he has a new podcast which you should checkout called No Suits Required. The premise is to talk some baseball with Barry without any sportsnet filters and the occasional special guest. This sunday they are bringing on JPA! But you can check them out here --> https://twitter.com/NSR_Podcast I think that this will be a good opportunity for the board and for Barry so everyone make sure to be on your best behaviour. If he happens to tweet out the link to the public to come in and ask some questions he has 45k twitter followers so that could be a large number of new members coming here to talk some baseball.

Up to 95 in the 3rd. Mixing and matching very well keeping everyone off-balance #BlueJays All other games rained out. At least Jansen and Borucki came to play. Notes from the MiLB (New feature this year!) - Yankees RHP and top 100 MLB prospect James Kaprielian will start the season on the DL after feeling elbow soreness. - Anderson Espinoza will start the season on the DL with forearm strain. - Tim Tebow homered in his first real MiLB AB. For tomorrow, Lansing is expected to play a doubleheader to makeup for todays rainout. Justin Maese will be on the mound in game 1. Both games will be on MiLB.TV. New Hampshire will play a single game that will feature premier RHP prospect Sean Reid-Foley, also on MiLB.TV. Jordan Romano will start in Dunedin and Buffalos projected SP has yet to be announced. And your 2 stars of the game go to Borucki and Jansen. I can't bring myself to award a 3rd star for this type of performance.

Will Barry D finally answer the age old question Can Ryan Goins Stick?

Yep she sent him a long message thanking him for us (BBBB) ranking Patrick on our prospect list.

Barry emailed me back saying he'd love to come and chat. What time works best for all of you guys? I was thinking sometime early next week, maybe during a Jays game?

A Barry Davis AMA is the current plan setup, yes. If Barry enjoys the board enough maybe he could stick around as a regular member.

Stay tuned fellas. Talks are in place!

Looking forward to chatting with Barry about his new podcast.

It's rage inducing. It's a good idea in theory but if they can't get the pitch types right it's a negative feature.

Stroman shoving

He strongly resembles Sid from Ice Age.

Hey guys, is it true that Biagini would UNQUESTIONABLY be a better starter than Stroman?

Because we would prefer a solo single instead

It's become evident pretty quickly that Bethancourt is not an MLB RP... If they use him in this role all season he could be have one of the worst seasons of all time, combining his negative pitching WAR and lack of any offensive talent.

It was Zaun

Erich: Why do you think Stroman struggled so much at the beginning of last year? Bad luck? Overuse of sinker? Stuff translates to better results id think. Keith Law: I thought bad luck. Will never forget seeing some jays blogger saying in June that the team should send Stroman to AAA. It was like message-board level overreaction. Keith throwing shade

If it wasn't a must listen before, it is now. JPA and Barry unfiltered. It's going to be great!
