  1. Most teams play exhibition games the last couple days before the season. Just this year the season opener is on Sunday instead of the Monday so it kind of screws it up. Happ was the only pitcher that went on the trip anyway.
  2. Watch the knuckleball screw up all the players swings just in time for the regular season.
  3. Watching that makes me glad Sam Cosentino isn't doing blue jays games anymore.
  4. I think its tomorrow after the game. Agreed, one of the best SN personalities.
  5. Fantastic article about Osuna detailing everything from his childhood to making the blue jays to El Chapo being captured blocks away from Osuna and the SN crew doing the story. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/big-read-blue-jays-osuna-sure-thing/
  6. Just means more people watching the Blue Jays which is good for the franchise.
  7. Yeah I think it'd be naive to say his command hasn't improved a great deal. I mean last year he walked 10 guys in around 10 Innings in ST and he's always walked a ton of guys in the minors as a starter. For him to only walk 3 guys in 26 Innings is ridiculous.
  8. I find if there is any lag in online its really hard to hit. Played DD and it was almost impossible to see the pitches.
  9. This FG post from today seems relevant http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2015-starting-pitcher-ball-in-play-retrospective-al-east/ When taking into account balls in play Dickey's ERA was exactly as it should have been. Using FG FIP based WAR is useless for Dickey because of the knuckleball. Interesting that then number 1 starter in the AL East last year by Tru ERA was our very own Marco Estrada.
  10. Does this calculation take into account "the man in white" though?
  11. I can second this. I'll get a fastball up in the zone that I was sitting on only to foul it back and the PCI shows the ball in the middle of the circle with good timing. Yet I'll throw a slider down and away to a RHH that gets pulled to LF 420 feet.
  12. Yup. Full no trade clause kicked in after he was traded from COL.
  13. What does that have to do with payroll being higher? The Jays can let Jose and Edwin go to FA and replace them while raising payroll, thus having a better chance to win. The Jays aren't trading Jose, Edwin or Tulo since they have no trade clauses.
  14. I'll take offers for either one of my SS Suarez and Story. Looking for a good SP in return. Story would be the more expensive of the 2.
  15. True but Shapiro would know the value. Maybe since he's a baseball guy unlike Beeston he can convince Rogers to spend more.
  16. The TV numbers have a ton of upside as well.
  17. The team can still develop young talent while competing for a division at the MLB level. More payroll flexibility allows the team a better chance of winning. I'm not sure what you are saying?
  18. I think they play in an outside one actually. They have the big friendly matches with the Euro club teams there though because it holds more people.
  19. Are you saying you would rather have a $120 Million payroll than 160? If the Jays have a really good season they should have the increased payroll flexibility regardless if EE and Bautista are back or not.
  20. Anyone have issues with the game freezing? Like it will just show the fielders walking around but you can't hit start or anything.
  21. I really hope Rogers can up the payroll. If the team makes the postseason and the Canadian dollar stays where it is right now there should be a bump of at least $20 Million. If the team makes the postseason and payroll is still in the $140 range people will really be pissed and rightfully so.
  22. They probably didn't put any of the upgrades in the PS3 version.
