Canada Basketball’s participation woes are over. The next generation has been very good internationally at the grass roots level. That’s about to change in a big way at the men’s level with lots of lottery and first round picks on the way. The NCAA class next year is star stacked led by RJ Barrett who is far in away the best player in his age group. And dominated the US High School ranks.
Also helps that his Dad is very involved in Canada Basketball. Lets hope Baseball can catch up to our big gains in Basketball.
Exactly if someone is trying to make the case for Barker actually being smart about Baseball just has a problem articulating it to other people. Hes in the wrong line of work. Its his job to be able to be able to explain Baseball to people lol.
I have no idea how he continues to get promoted. Hazel Mae has some serious pull at Sportsnet.
I would think he would choose Dominican for a chance to win the tournament. Hopefully the roster looks pretty good in a few years. Canada has to qualify again after failing to win a game last time.
Darwin Barney is a free agent. Wouldn't mind giving him a minor league deal. But we are much better shape infield wise this year.
EDIT: I have a feeling we aren't going to see Tulo this year.
I don't see any reason to rush this and play. Give it a full 24 hours and see where you're at tomorrow. I wonder if MLB is trying to push them to play this game because of all the cancellations already. With a lack of off days we may see our first ever double header at the Rogers Centre. That or they will have to reschedule this well later this season.
I actually sent the picture to my Dad who does repairs to buildings. He said the issue really isn't covering the hole its being able to access the roof safely. They wouldn't assign anyone to do that job in these conditions. Especially if its currently raining. But yes they could easily plug that hole quickly. And than repair it when the Jays leave town.
I would imagine if the roof is actually damaged it would be nearly impossible for them to fix it right now. Its raining in Toronto and the conditions are extremely icy. We are going to get an update any time now.
I wonder if the roof got damaged badly enough that they had to play Baseball elsewhere for an extended period of time where they would play. Would they go play in Montreal despite the horrendous turf or would they play neutral sight games. I guess they can't because the weather is just as bad in New York and Detroit.
Blue Jays will be wearing their Jackie Robinson day jerseys tomorrow at home instead. Great to see because Granderson is donating his "game worn" cleats to the HOF
Boston is better than the Leaves in all aspects of play. Were people excepting this to be much of a series lol? I gave the Leafs to chance to steal one game at best.
If Goins caught that pop up in game 2 of the ACLS where Price was cursing before imploding after getting rattled we probably win that game. I will forever remember Goins for that. Plus watching him try to hit was torture. I don't understand why so many casuals love him so much. You would think casuals would like guys who hit homeruns or something.
Barring some kind of injury he will no doubt be up this year (knocks on wood). Depending how competitive we are it could be early as July and at the latest September. He will definitely be on the opening day lineup next year.
They aren't interested in that. They want to bring him up for good. Just let him have a good Double-A season and will see where we are at around the All-Star break. They seem quite interested in keeping both Vlad and Bo together as well.
Pearce really isn't an Outfielder. He just happens to play there. It really is nice having 4 outfielders on the roster now. So we can pinch hit without downgrading the defence.
