  1. We are getting so close! Saturday the Jays visit the Braves @ 1:05PM EST (can listen on 590) Sunday we have split squads going against the Yankees and Phillies. Both games are at 1:05, the latter is on Sportsnet. Monday we host the Pirates, 1:05PM on Sportsnet. It's about damn time!
  2. I enjoy being able to watch College Hockey, it's an exciting fast paced game with great atmosphere. I would definitely check out some NCAA baseball if they would broadcast some games up here, I don't know if that would draw enough ratings though.
  3. Yeah that's more or less what I was getting at. With so many prospects the hit tool is there and you wait/hope for in game power to show up. Sure if this guy doesn't hit for power almost right away in pro ball, I get that there's grounds for concern due to lack of projection. But as long as he continues thumping the ball like that ^ there shouldn't be concern but rather excitement over a potential fast moving prospect. I see no reason to care that the in game power arrived early if it doesn't fade away as he rises through the minors.
  4. Haha it's like they couldn't come up with anything to criticize so instead they knock him for being too advanced.
  5. Tulo is the man, would love nothing more than to see a vintage season from him this year.
  6. - Blue Jays Baseball - MLB baseball in general - my first season in the LoD - warm weather
  7. So dumb, why even bother putting out the content of you're going to half ass it?
  8. Pitch recognition and bat control.
  9. Nothing wrong with that.
  10. Yeah those back issues are definitely a worry, he seems to be able to pitch through it but how long can he do that effectively? Happ is so much easier to bank on in my opinion.
  11. It does make sense in terms of trade value, he may never be worth more than he is right now - and likely would bring back a nice bat. If Liriano shows similar form to his time here last year, we still have a solid top four and I think we're OK to move Happ, but the idea does scare me for sure.
  12. Minor league deal with an invite to ST hopefully. He's fine as veteran pitching depth, if that's all this is.
  13. Yeah it looks like he's going to go right over on his knee the first time he catches a spike.
  14. I wouldn't have been in favor of this before seeing the additions to the pen, but with a couple dependable arms added now, I think trying to maximize Biagini's value makes a lot of sense.
  15. I worked all day, went out to coach tonight, and now I'm here talking to you beauties, could be a lot worse.
  16. Bah humbug
  17. As far as affordable utility players go he's pretty much ideal. It feels like Phillips has been a trade candidate forever, and he very well could be again this season if he finds any sort of success in Atlanta.
  18. Softball (fast pitch). Keep in mind regular season games would just end in a tie so we're only talking playoffs when the "international rule" gets used for extra innings, but it's always been a semi - serious league and fairly high caliber. I like it that way, it's good to have a competitive outlet and I figure I'll keep running and sliding around until I can no longer enjoy it. I won't be up in arms if they go to this for the regular season after 12 innings or something. It better not creep into playoff games though.
  19. I've played with this rule, first batter is squaring to bunt almost every time.
  20. So we basically got Smith + Howell for roughly what we may have paid for a guy like Blevins...
  21. I found this article regarding a potential batting adjustment for Pillar to be fairly interesting, mainly because I've always believed that he appeared to be standing unusually far off the plate. http://toronto.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2017/02/02/one-potential-fix-for-kevin-pillars-hitting-woes/ Whether this is the reason or not, Pillar's plate coverage definitely needs vast improvement.
  22. I mean, I'll take Tepera on the cheap over Smoak at his salary any day, but I agree that I have no faith in the former at all. His fastball just appears to have no "life" to it, straight as an arrow.

    Yep I agree, the future is bright but they're not built for the present. Leafs fans just need to stay patient and enjoy the ride, this group is going to contend for a long time.
  24. Based on their current salary numbers, the D'Backs stand to pay 46.7% of their payroll to Zack Greinke. He'll make $34M in 2017, and the team only has $72.8M in total commitments. If that isn't some modern day record it has to be up there.
  25. Still despaired that you got him one pick ahead of me, I'm happy with Romero but I thought Keller was falling to me for sure. LoD Yankees 51) SP Luke Weaver 52) C Zack Collins 76) SP Jack Flaherty 94) SP Fernando Romero 106) 1B Dominic Smith 121) SP Hunter Harvey 142) CF Jahmai Jones 143) 3B Hunter Dozier
