It was the same story for Lawrie and Stroman too. Nothing new here. And what gives you the impression he's a model teammate?

Ah yes, Jake Trout, Jake Salmon and Jake Palmegiani - how did he ever miss those 3! LOL

He probably also heckles RPers at baseball games with knee slappers like "you suck", "cccchhhhaapppmmannnn" and "that's another ball". What a DOUCHEBAG Bass is.

I think we're already there. His tough guy routine is laughable. I've always thought that Manoah gave off these vibes of someone who was a loser throughout his school days and now that he's this star athlete, he got all tat'd up and tries to act cool and tough because he thinks that will make people like him.

I most certainly am, but I think I've always found people who choose to act that way to be douchebags. Some guy yelling "that's another ball" to some RP who's catcher still isn't even crouching isn't funny and has never been. It's also not going to 'throw him off his game' either, so it's f***ing pointless and you look like a wannabe heckler.

This is perhaps a good way to look at it. By making this area, all the douchebags who want to tell Colin Poche his fastball sucks ass to cover up their own insecurities can all hang out in RF and jerk each other off after their super clever chirps. That way the rest of the stadium doesn't have to be near them. I like it. Good call by the Jays. I retract all my previous posts about this.

I'm all for a funny heckle about the guy going back and playing hockey. But my douchebag meter must be set higher than you guys - I think you're a douche if your best chirp is to make fun of a guys socks, or to yell "that's another ball" at a pitcher warming up. Bring your A game and be funny, or STFU.

I think perhaps you and I may enjoy different things. Hopefully the Zimmerman heckler had better chirps than "you suck Zimmerman" and "you're crap". In my experience, that's the expected level of heckling I've experienced and it's embarrassing. And suggesting families only buy tickets in certain areas because some adult feels the need to yell and swear at some RP is f***ing stupid sir. That said, I suspect security is there to put an end to the hecklers if swearing or other inappropriate things are said (as they should). I'm sure it's not that bad. I think I just hate hecklers in general. I think they need to get a life. This type of crap is so cringy. Don't come to the stadium with the goal of yelling at players. Nobody wants to hear you (or very few people want to hear you).

It's pretty crazy (sad) that we have 3 massive dudes who aren't really in shape at all (for professional athletes).

How huge would it be for the Jays to develop a home grown high leverage lefty? Rooting for this kid. Apparently he throws mid to high 90's.

I just can't fathom being an adult and deciding - you know what I'm going to do that this baseball game? I'm going to to yell "OMG that was slow", "that was a ball" and "that's a walk baby" at guys in the bullpen and then laugh with my friends like I'm so clever and funny. Does this adult think he's actually giving the Blue Jays a competitive advantage with that incredible heckling? I sure hope not. Those chirps are f***ing embarrassingly s*****. If that's the best you've got - sit the f*** down and shut up. Nobody in your general vicinity wants to listen to you. And of course I think it's fair to say fans won't always keep it clean, because, well, humans suck. Now my 7 year old has to listen to some drunk ******* swearing at a reliver for no good reason (I guess in this adults head, he thinks he's giving the Jays this major advantage, but he's not - he's just making an ass out of himself). Now if you're Bobby Fairways and your heckling is funny - I'm cool with that. The fans will get a charge out of it (the pitchers may too), but this was SUPER cringy to me.

This is embarrassing - next level douchiness. I hope they find a way to make that nonsense stop.

If Kikuchi throws strikes like he has to start this year, he's a top of the rotation starter (#2/#3). Very encouraging.

Strip was an easy guy to cheer for. Hope he turns it around.

Do you have season tickets here? I'd love to pick up those 4 tickets sometime this year.

Vladdy - 1 Point - Grant77, Abomination Bichette - 1 Point - JaysAllMighty, Jonn Chapman - 1 Point Varsho - 2 Points - jaysblue, Deadpool Springer - 2 Points Belt - 3 Points - wilko, Dylan, Brownie Kiermaier - 3 Points - LTBF Jansen - 3 Points Espinal - 6 Points - JohnHavok Off the bench: 10 Points

I will use "pisser" next time to make you feel more comfortable.

I just suggested Barger as an internal option if it gets to the point that Espy/Biggio/Merrifield aren't cutting it at 2nd base. We aren't anywhere close to the point we're going to make the decision. Everyone SSS right now.

I'm not a huge drinker anymore, but this is a huge factor for me. I hate missing the action to buy food/beer or go to the washroom and I hate disturbing people beside me to get out. And of course I completely loathe fans who come to the game to get loaded because most of the time they are too impatient to wait for the guy to come sell you a beer (and thus are always interrupting me) and they have to pee all the time. Oh and half the time they are loud and know jack s*** about baseball.

That's the company they are talking about...

If he's playing SS, he'll be able to cover 2nd base with pretty limited work there. I know that may not be his long term home, but if Espy/Biggio/Merrifield continue to suck - we may need to turn to him there this year (before he takes over 3rd when Chapman leaves next year)

Addison Barger.

I thought that too, but only 1 major win and only 16 PGA tour wins to his name (which seems crazy). Although his annual success at the Masters, regardless of his advanced age, will help. He's obviously a massive fan favourite and a great fit though. Nick Faldo is a 3 time Masters winner and has 6 major wins. He's 65. I'd have to think he's a good candidate? (yes I had to just research it a bit to find his name). After that, I think it's Phil and Tiger, which makes me sad (and feel REALLY old).

I agree with this. They need the regular season over by like mid-March IMO

s*** - that's a lot better than I thought it was. I'm lazy - so what's the fastball stuff+? Do those stats suggest he's on the verge of breaking out and becoming a legit back end pen guy?
