Manfred looking at relief pitcher limits in game
jaysblue replied to King's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Pitch clock works fine. There should be a time limit for when a pitcher delivers a pitch. It's not that bad, as I'm sure most pitchers don't take more than 20 seconds between pitches, though there are some Steve Trachsel's out there that take way too long. Abolishing defensive shifts and the amount of pitching changes is stupid. What happens if a pitcher gets hurt or is way above their pitch count as a reliever? Maybe make it where when pitching changes take place, there are only 2-3 warmup pitches and thats it. -
I don't know what to make of Tommy Joseph. The guy looks like he could hit 30 HR's over a full season easily, though his other stats aren't that extremely sexy. Looks like a Mark Trumbo wannabe.

I offered Danny Duffy, Joc Pederson, Luke Weaver, Lance Lynn, my 1st and 2nd round picks for Jose Altuve in the FC. Glad now that it wasn't accepted. Having the least mileage on his arm is a huge plus moving forward I think. It'll be interesting to see if he continues at this level next season. I'd still take Sale over him obviously because of the track record and like you said it's pretty close between Archer and Duffy where you can even make the case Duffy is a more valuable asset moving forward. Archer is on a team friendly deal though until 2020 with two team options. If Duffy continues pitching like this, he'll get paid. -
Who dropped him? I fell asleep on that one and I guess 18 other managers did as well. He's going to be the super utility version of Mark Trumbo.

Presale for World Cup of Hockey tickets are on now. If anyone is interested in buying tickets, the promo code is TEAMCAN16. Cheapest tickets I believe for the first round are like $205 CAD (CAN/US game) which is quite ridiculous. I could only imagine how much the Semis or Finals would cost.
-
If Edwin continues to hit like this into his late thirties similar to what David Ortiz has done in Boston as a DH, I don't have a problem with the Jays giving him a 3-4 year deal.

Long term who would you say is more valuable? -
Even todd can write a better sentence.
-
Thanks. So for example, most of Chelsea's games are aired on TSN or Sportsnet? So I wouldn't have to add the Sportsnet World package for $24.99 per month?
-
There is no harm offering Saunders a QO. He may accept (which isn't the end of the world) and if he doesn't (then the Jays get a pick) or probably a chance to resign him cheaper later in the offseason if he doesn't sign a multiyear deal with another club.

I never want to see Tepera pitch in a close game like this again.
-
Haha I heard that as well.
-
Tepera shouldn't be pitching in a 1-0 game.
-
One good thing about this game is listening to the voice of Dan Shulman. As I type this, I'm hearing Kevin Barker and I'm now again frustrated.

Can Carrera be the starter when he's back?

Are you trolling? -
What's the best way to watch Premiere League matches? Sportsnet World?
-
Agreed. Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin are looking to make names for themselves. The Yankees are playing for the future. And the future begins now!

Don't the Blue Jays offer a payment plan if you renew? For example, with the Raptors payments are around $900 per month starting in April for my seats, and then the last two payments are around $450. For postseason tickets, its ridiculous that they charge you for every game & every series up front. Shocked they don't do it on a pay-as-you-go, game-to-game basis like the Raps do. You'll get your money back on games not played, but sucks taking up a huge balance on your credit card.
-
Never said they should overpay to retain him over the next 3-5 years. Also, I wouldn't be upset if he's let go. The Jays have proven that they can win without Bautista. As for using the term "face of the franchise" it's kind of fuzzy and could be interpreted in different ways. I don't think it always has to be limited to only one player. I could think of a lot of baseball teams that have multiple guys who you could slap that label on (Giants with Bumgarner & Posey; Nationals with Stras & Harper; Red Sox with Pedroia and Ortiz; Cubs with Rizzo & Bryant; Tigers with Miggy & Verlander; Yankees with Jeter, Rivera, Williams etc).
-
Bautista has been the face of this franchise since 2010 and played a crucial role especially at a time when fan interest with the Jays was near an all-time low with them trading Doc after 2009. Even if he leaves this offseason, he is one of the best players to ever wear a Blue Jays uniform. He's up there with all the greats, and deservingly so.
-
There are some people out there who get trigger happy and panic when they miss out on getting tickets during the general sale, so good for you. As well, I find people who travel from out of town will buy tickets on StubHub weeks before an event to have that sense of security that they are attending that game/event.
-
Only way is if Bautista gets back and suddenly mashes down the stretch and in the Postseason. I think the max he gets right now is a 3/$45 million deal based mainly because its a weak market and there might be a desperate team thinking he can return to his elite levels if healthy. Otherwise, he'll need to take a 1 year deal around $15 million, and hope for a rebound. Even still, he'll be 37 after 2017 and it'll be tough to get a 3-4 year deal with a high AAV. To be honest, I could see a team going year-to-year with him like the Red Sox have done with Ortiz the past couple of seasons, which likely makes the most sense.
-
I think Stroman is a solid No. 2, not a No. 1. People had such high and unrealistic expectations on him after his 4 starts in September and the postseason. He's clicking now at the right time which is all that counts!
-
It just goes to show you that most of Toronto fans consist of bandwagoners. We're talking about a game in the ALCS, one series away from the World Series. It's disgusting how fans were able to write them off that series. You had Estrada going Game 5 who was money all postseason, and then had Price & Stroman available going Game 6 and 7 if it got that far. They still had a chance despite being down 3-1. The Jays were screwed though for start times in the ALCS. Game 3 was played at 6 or 7PM I believe, though Game 4 was at 1PM the next day, and Game 5 was a 4PM start. I'm sure the start times did play a factor as well.
-
It wouldn't shock me to see a team looking for 200+ innings give him a $8-10 million contract for one year. He'd be a good fit on some NL teams.
