  1. I have never seen a company with such consistently great service like Chick- fil-A. They should be the model of hiring and QC practices. They set a high bar. I have seen/been in long lines, but they move fast, like literally not enough time to order and get my wallet out. They were the first ones with people walking the lines with headsets and tablets that I am aware of. Great food, service, always clean and well taken care of restaurants. 👍
  2. What an ending, glad Eagles won!
  3. Yes, very good signing.
  4. Borucki was pitching in June and July... He was not a September call up?? He was statistically our best SP pitcher last year. The numbers and eye test.. If anyone deserves a spot, based on last years performance and not years prior to last year, it is Ryan..
  5. Sad for Ricky.. I am always worried Stroman will be Ricky 2.0, hence I want to trade him now....
  6. I can see this being a Greek Tragedy... Probably will be just our luck he will put a up a 5 WAR season while we are paying him to play for one of if not the richest teams in baseball.. LOL I am happy we cut him loose.. Just sucks he will be within the division on the Evil Empire.. for $555K USD and we are paying $20 million.. USD damn.. Pretty sure Manny Machado will go to the Yanks, they will move him to 3rd and trade Andujar... .. Tulo will play until Didi returns.. They will get some good prospects for Andujar,... The really good will get even better...
  7. Appreciate the honest response and not some dumb ass remark. Your point is fair. I was in NO means advocating a question that he would obviously not answer truthfully anyway.. Like, are you pissed you have to play in Canada.. Nothing like that.. I was just trying to get at what preconceived notions he might have had and some differences if any he has noticed, and maybe some of his fellow draftees etc.. Not expecting he would ever say anything bad about the Jays or Canada and wouldn't want to put him in that position. Thanks
  8. That map, at least the Florida part is messed up. A LOT/majority of that black on in the North and central east coast and up the middle is Braves fans.. No fnnn way all that especially rural areas are Yankees fans. Braves were the TEAM prior to Tampa and Miami, still are. They were on TBS every night for years. The Yankees were only on the occasional game of the week. Chipper Jones is from Volusia county, Daytona Beach area. There are not enough Yankees (northerners) in that area to overtake Braves fans, let a lone Yankee fans. My point being, if that is totally wrong in an area I am very familiar with, what else is wrong with the map..
  9. So I was listening to an interview with Derek Holland the other day. I am going to use this as an example. They asked him about his spin rate.. He basically said, he doesn't give a f***, at the end of the day he needs to concentrate on throwing strikes. Then they asked him about some geographical preferences and he gave some really interesting answers about wanting to play for both Ohio teams, but one being NL and the other being AL what the advantages and disadvantages were and that Cincinnati had reached out to him (which Jon Morosi then put on MLBTR like it was his scoop-tool) Then he did a Kermit the Frog imitation that was fnnn cool, funny and entertaining! Another interview I heard was talking about the hazing the player went through in his rookie year.. It was funny as all could be, I was glued to the radio. That is entertaining and interesting stuff!
  10. I am not expecting anything bad, I want to know what US high school kids (not border kids) think about being drafted by a team from a country they might not know much about or have preconceived notions.. No disrespect to anyone, but I have heard some pretty boring questions.. Now that he has played for Vancouver, maybe he can talk about what his preconceived notions were/and that of his fellow team mates vs what he has experienced. I personally, am not interested in his training routine, or how many reps of whatever he does. or what he thinks about our high performance department..(that is going to be 100% a stock answer). Put me to sleep with that... The fact is, most US kids don't know s*** about Canada and I would be interested to see what the general feeling is about being drafted having to go to a Canadian team. I am NOT looking for the guy to slob Canada's knob and bath in the compliments.. I am genuinely interested in the word on the street among draft eligible players. Not really sure where a WTF comes from for a legit and entertaining/provoke discussion question...?
  11. You canoe heads are always discussing whether Canada is a hindrance for signing FAs etc. It is a legitimate question, something interesting.. what do US high school kids think when they hear they might/are be drafted by the Blue Jays. Is there trepidation... The stock PC answer will be I am happy to be there and in the majors etc... Wondering if he had any other concerns question prior and what his peers talk about when discussing getting drafted by a team from a different country.. With what are you having comprehension problems..?
  12. Ok, but apparently he was born in Florida, moved to Florida 8 years before he graduated high-school, was talking about not being used to the cold since his blood had thinned out. So, he must have been like 9 or 10 +/- or so when he moved to Florida it would seem, if he graduated at 17 or 18.. My question still stands, just tweek the part about being a South Florida boy and state, playing most of your baseball as a kid, teenager in Florida..... Same question...
  13. Josh, give us the true non PC answer. You are a South Florida kid from a sunny, low tax (no state tax) state with beaches and beer in every convience store and gas station, concealed carry etc. When you and your buddies hear/have an inclination that they will be drafted by the Blue Jays, foreign country, reputation cold, high taxes, pain in the ass to buy beer etc what is the initial reaction? You were playing ball about as far away as you could get from Naples in Vancouver, and if you make it to the show you will not be as far, but still far and a different country. Do you even think about things like that or are you just super stoked to be in any MLB teams system? True no PC answer. Assuming the Blue Jays did not exist, which was your dream team to be drafted by? Have you ever been to a Canadian strip club and realized Canada doesnt have singles and been like, I am not making enough money to be putting $5 in the garter of every dancer, what am I supposed to do? I am sure more excellent journalistic opportunties will come to me I can share. Oh, and a Happy New Year and have a great 2019 you filthy animals!
  14. However, they already have $20 million a year tied up with just Harvey and Cahill, you think they add another $30-$40 Million a year? on top of their existing commitments?
  15. Listen to Derek Holland’s Kermit the frog imitation.. awesome👍 😃
  16. Here you go..
  17. And from that day forward, in the small kingdom of Canada, Dec 28th was known as the day of the boner. All Canadians had a boner that day, even the woman and non conforming to typical gender identity them had boners. There has not been so many boners in Canada since the Dickey press conference.
  18. Yea, except the 2 guys we were talking about are already combat vets and did fine. Why would a guy who has tours in Afganistan need to back to basic. If you are putting those guys in AAA it is because of roster flexibilty etc, not because they are not ready or that pitching in the International league is going to give them better development then in the MLs.. Lets just be honest as to why they would start in AAA.
  19. Love the list, just think that wishing for Stroman and Sanchez to both be aces again is probably wishing too much... I would rather trade them while we have some value...
  20. I agree 100% on depth, I just don't think we need to block their development in a non- competitive year. I have a feeling we are not going to see many more Shoemaker types for SP and it will all be AAAA Matt Latos types that you can put in AAA. If you can have veteran SP depth in AAA, why not bring up those guys. Works the same if you bring them up in April, no issues with that... I just don't see the need for any more development in AAA for either of those two and think it would be more beneficial in the majors this year since it is "supposedly" going to be non-competitive.
  21. Why put SRF and Panone in AAA.. What will that do for them? They did relatively fine in the majors last year. Even though it was late season, they were battling playoff teams fighting for the Division or teams trying to make a WC.. The best way to learn about combat, is to be in Combat. A lot of people here are assuming Stroman, Sanchez and now Shoemaker will be better pitchers than our young guns. Neither of those three did anything last yr either due to injuries or performance to make me believe they will pitch better then what we got from SRF and Pannone. I still think Borucki is out best pitcher if you go by performance and not names or legacy.
  22. Did you put “Truth” just so we knew Jon Morosi hadnt hijacked your account or that info was from him 😉
  23. Hope he can recover and stay healthy.. Not sure Rogers center is a great fit for him. A few years ago he had the lowest ground ball rate among QS.. Of course, I remember being very worried about Estrada pitching at Rogers Center when he came over, turned out that was a really good trade. Goal = Trade Deadline return 😃
  24. Lots of body and fat shaming going on in that😉 Love your love for Riley👍👍👍😃
  25. I liked the part about wOBA.. As I mentioned, in a previous post, I think it has some flaws, but it was interesting and sparks discussion.
