  1. Yeah if anyone is interested in a few games I have season tickets. Save some $ on the fees plus get good seats that aren't even available to the public.
  2. I don't want to sit on cupholders... Joking aside this needs to be done. Not even all the seats in the infield have cupholders. They need to redo the seats by making them a lot larger too. Have the capacity 38-42K and make those 40K seats actually comfortable to be in.
  3. Nothing gets me more excited about baseball then John Lott Spring Training photos.
  4. Probably bad overall but good for Baseball in Canada. On one hand they would increase the $ by replacing Rays games with Expos games and have a new rival, but they would lose a lot of TV viewers from the Quebec/Eastern Ontario part of Canada which is worth a lot more money.
  5. Even if they put grass in the park is surrounded by ugly concrete. The biggest reason is players would prefer grass as its easier on the body.
  6. Well doesn't look like either are signing extensions. If Stroman was he would have signed before they went to arb.
  7. Well obviously depends on the return. I would have been fine with the blackmon deal if he had a lot more control and was younger. I'd even have moved Sanchez.
  8. Isn't he a headcase too?
  9. Thats why I was hoping Toronto would trade one of their Starters for a position player this offseason. Having 5 above average SP is almost a waste since you only really need 3 in the postseason. Especially when there is a gaping hole in LF.
  10. If Grass cost $150 Million, I'd much rather that money spent elsewhere on improving the stadium. I'm not sure why fans care so much about grass anyway, sure it looks better but it doesn't impact the viewing experience at all. Give me better seats, cup holders, lounges and washrooms and I'm happy.
  11. Yeah his balls in play is great because of the groundballs but the way you made it sound was he has an ability to induce weak contact, which I think the article shows is false. He certainly is a great fit for the team given the ballpark and the infield defense.
  12. His contact management was actually pretty bad last year. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-al-starting-pitcher-contact-management/
  13. I think Nick Nurse the current assistant will be a great coach. He was the one that came in and installed the offence which has been really good for the last few seasons. You never really know how well they will do game management style but if he's really smart on offence I think he can can adjust to the other parts.
  14. Media jumping at the fact Gibbons hasn't gotten a contract extension yet.
  15. I put 3 but I could see him a tiny bit lower than that. Obviously if he gets hurt he'd be a lot lower.
  16. Don't forget the pauses in between to make it sound like its a matter of life and death.
  17. Alex Reyes possibly out for the Season. Yikes
  18. To be fair I don't think Ibaka is either. Certainly not on this Raptors team.
  19. Means you can go over the cap to sign him. He's not a Max guy but who knows with NBA FA.
  20. Boston probably makes a move so its not only the Cavs that the Raps need to get by. Patterson needs to get healthy. Ibaka-PP lineups will be fun.
  21. Jays announced TV schedule for Spring Training. Seems like there are more games on TV than in the past. 11 games on TV http://media.sportsnet.ca/2017/02/its-always-sunny-in-dunedin-sportsnet-announces-2017-blue-jays-spring-training-broadcast-schedule/
  22. Masai probably got scared about Lowry leaving so he pulled the trade. Wasn't much to give up tbh but I don't know if I want to re-sign him this summer over Patterson.
  23. Since he's been in the org. for a long time they probably have to pay him like 40K/year or something so they decided to fill his role with a guy making $1500/month.
  24. He makes every single word out of his mouth sound so dramatic. Seems like a dickhole off camera too.
  25. I hope Travis isn't the leadoff hitter. He's probably the 7th best hitter in the lineup. Bautista is the best fit and even Pearce would be a decent option if they want to have Jose hit 3rd.
