    Don't swing at any junk Pillar.

    The offence is definitely going to be an issue all season, especially if JD's shoulder is f***ed up. Nothing Gibby can do about that except play the guys he has. It's not going to be pretty most nights if JD is not MVP form.
  3. glory
    Gibby 1.0 tonight. Sanchez should not have faced Drury, nevermind the batter after him. Horrible Gibby. Edit: and not even a lefty to face Gardner? Why not bring Barnes in two batters earlier then? I'm lost.

    Yeah that's probably it. But seeing all those Doc highlights where I saw more blue seats than actual people was depressing, and if the team this year doesn't look like a contender it will probably resemble that time period. Bandwagon fans are the worst.

    Just got home and my main observation is, damn the Dome looks empty and lifeless. 2015-16 made me forget how s***** the Toronto fanbase was in 1994-2014 (not entirely their fault) but didn't expect interest to torpedo this quickly. Friday night against the Yankees seems like it should have been a pretty decent crowd.

    Happ was fine yesterday. Bad break with the Grandy error in the 1st inning, but he did about as well as could have been expected against that lineup. Sanchez and Stroman might have better luck against them with their GB tendencies. Estrada is probably going to get lit up like a Christmas tree against them.

    Where is Warmoth starting? If it's Dunedin, then he may not be that far off either. He's already 22 and is supposed to be advanced. Not a 2018 candidate obviously, but 2019-20. Not sure if Gurriel can handle SS, and Diaz probably isn't one either (he needs to hit to have any value). Urena doesn't look all that appealing to me. Good D but I don't like the bat. Ehh. Bo and Warmoth might be the only ones I'd trust in the system to handle SS long term unless I'm forgetting someone.

    JD playing 3b when he couldn't even throw is either irresponsible of the team (if they knew) or JD (if he didn't disclose it). JUst put him on the DL. If the team starts poorly because of it then so be it. Better he get healthy than get hurt worse than he already is.

    That Morales AB was brutal. Happ looking good aside from the HR.

    Feels like the game ended the moment Grady f***ed up the line out. Ugh. Can’t give the Yankees free base runners.

    I kinda want Tulo around to mentor Bo, but man the Jays are getting a horrible deal. 0 WAR in 2017, injured in 2018 (who knows how many games he actually plays given his injury), and two more years after this as he inches closer to 35.

    Gift is on the 40 man roster and Espinosa has accepted an assignment in Buffalo so they didn't have to clear any further 40 man roster spots and keep the same depth. That's really all I can think of. Wouldn't shock me if Epinosa replaces Gift on the roster soon enough if/when Gift sucks.
  13. glory
    Gibby said he wouldn't be playing much short, but hell, if he's as good defensively there as Diaz, then might as well try it (if Diaz doesn't bounce back).
  14. glory
    Worse bat, probably better defence (i'm assuming).
  15. glory
    If Diaz sucks again, especially on defence, then Gift will play a lot. Epinosa probably sucks now too but at least he has a track record of actually being productive.
  16. glory
    It's not.
  17. glory
    Ngoepe has made the team apparently. South African Goins (with a worse bat). Was hoping Epinosa would get that spot.

    Vlad’s gonna cause more erections in the GTA than Viagra at the rate he’s going. Dude is a beast.
  19. glory
    Didn't Snider have an eating obsession too? Dammit Vlad, if it fits your macros! You can eat what you want, just watch the calories man.

    Lol yes I couldn't stand him in 2015. That year was so frustrating in the first half given how bad I thought his managing was. It's amazing what happens when you remove AA and put in Shapiro/Atkins. Props to Gibby for being able to adjust his managing. Lord knows if Shapiro tried to work with Cito, it would have ended a lot differently.
  22. glory
    Yup. His 2015 managing was so horrendous it made me want to vomit, but the moment the new front office came in, he's been a lot better. He's basically our Clint Hurdle. Old school dude who listens to the front office and is not so set in his ways that he can't change. His 2016-17 work has been his best.
  23. glory
    Should be Pearce at DH and Grandy in LF against RHP, and then Pearce in LF and Morales at DH against lefties. But then we’d have carry a slow as dirt DH as a platoon bat off the bench, which would suck.
  24. glory
    I know this won’t be popular but how many more years do the Jays have to play in this shithole before opening day? This is AA’s wet dream. He’s no longer here. Let’s move on.

    The issue with calling up Vlad is if the team is out of the race, there's no reason to call him up and start his service clock, and if the team is in the race, who does he replace on the big league roster? If they are trying to get him to become a competent 3B, then he's likely better off playing 3B somewhere rather than DH'ing because Morales sucks. In the latter scenario, the Jays would be better off trading some 40 man roster clutter for a mid season rental than promoting Vlad so early. To me, it's becoming more likely that Vlad is the starting 3B in 2019 after JD bolts. His bat is damn near ready now, and one more year of seasoning might be all he needs. For service time issues, I'm being greedy though. Call him up mid-season 2019. Unfair to the player, but dammit I want Vlad in a Jays uni as long as possible!
