  1. What a great decision to get rid of Rochat.... just so smart. And now O'Brien's out and they have even worse defense..
  2. Camilo is amazing.... And the Whitecaps are going to choke.
  3. Woohoo. What a game. Walk off hit in the bottom of the 18th by Davis. Go Jays
  4. Best fans in the world. He'll be a fan favourite there
  5. I honestly think the Lions will contend after seeing those scouting reports. Yes, Geroy was great and all but the guys replacing him are looking good too. Guess we'll have to see them play but I'm having a good feeling about this year. Going to try and get tickets for when the Riders come to play us.
  6. I'm not counting them out yet. They just need to get Reyes back and go on a roll and they're right back in it. Hoping for a wild card.
  7. Yup, one of my favourites from Swollen Members.

  9. Jays really loading up on the Right handed pitchers With the 47th pick, they select Clinton Hollon The Kentucky high school product, while not the biggest guy in the world, has some serious arm strength. He can get his fastball up to the mid-90s with a decent breaking ball to go with it. He even shows some feel for a changeup, giving him the chance to have a full repertoire of at least Major League average pitches. Hollon has a similar frame to Jeremy Guthrie, and that might be his ceiling. More than anything, though, he needed to show he was healthy this spring after leaving the East Coast Pro Showcase with forearm tendinitis and not pitching for the rest of the summer. He was doing just that, throwing well during the regular season in Kentucky, perhaps allowing him to quietly climb back up Draft boards.
  10. Yeah a 96 mph fastball at that age is outstanding. I could see him easily getting it to 100+ as he gets stronger. The breaking balls will come with time. When I was a pitcher, I didn't have a very good breaking ball but around 19-20 I picked up a higher variety of pitches.
  11. With the 10th pick in the MLB draft, the Blue Jays select Phillip Bickford. As the spring progressed, this California high school right-hander was turning heads with his size and stuff. He has the ideal pitching frame and great arm action. He's been up to as high as 96 with his fastball and it has some good sink to it. He throws both a slider and a changeup, though they aren't as consistent as his fastball. The breaking ball is the better of the two, but both have the chance to be at least Major League average pitches in the future. He's composed on the mound and is generally around the strike zone, though improved command will be needed at the next level. With his size, stuff and projectability, teams will surely be interested in allowing him to work on that in their organization.
  12. Don't understand this trade.. Very disappointed.
  13. If the Pens get swept, do you think Bylsma will be fired? He could be a solid option for head coach.
  14. All on Gibbons but I wouldn't be mad if he had a few more chances. I like Wagner and Perez over him though.
  15. Haha no doubt. I think he was a mistake as manager
  16. The Redblacks..... seriously? I hope their Uniforms aren't as ugly as their name
