Wilbur Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ouch, Jays are 1 for 55 in the first 3 innings so far this season. That is beyond awful. Can't blame Galvis or Jansen this game though as they hit the ball well, the Orioles just made good defensive plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Murphy, Jacoby, Martinez.....doesn’t matter whose the hitting coach. None of these guys can take pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The Jays also haven’t exactly been facing a murderers row of pitchers either which is the scary part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Didn't see the game, but glad Gurriel picked up a couple of hits. Jays will need the offense he can bring if they hope to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Another terrific outing from Shoemaker. I doubt the rotation can maintain this pace, but they've sure done their jobs so far. The offense? Not so much. Just hoping we don't see a repeat of last season, where it seemed like there was never and overlap of strong pitching and hitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Imo got to give this team at least 20-30 games to really see where they're going to be and what they're going to look like this year. Also having a new manager and getting used to the system he wants them to be playing, takes sometime to get used to. So far it seems the approach at the plate is free swinging Montoya is letting them go up there and swing away, maybe this allows him to see things in certain players and how they approach their at bats, and then can work with them after to change things. Just seems right now it's a test to get a better idea or view on where the players are at, and after a certain amount of games then can really start seeing what's working and what's not or what needs to be worked on or adjustments that need to be made. I think we as Jays fans over the last few years have been used to an approach at the plate where the experience in some of the players showed patience at the plate, which is something these young guys will have to learn with experience, but that's part of a rebuild where players can come in and learn this type of stuff. Will see if they adjust later on in the season, no doubt they will have to eventually but it's a learning experience, but this is where I say I definitely wouldn't be against the Jays hiring someone like Bautista to be a hitting coach one day if he eventually decides to retire. The guy knew the strike zone better then anyone imo since Bonds, and just feel JB has a lot of experience in that area where he could help younger players in that area.

What amazes me is that there is 51 million on the active payroll and 48 million in retained salaries for players to play elsewhere. Once the retained salaries come off the books, we’ll be the lowest paid team in the MLB but I guess that isn’t a bad thing during a rebuild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else has kind of been utility players or is young. Could be a long couple seasons while they figure it out. Team average is currently .190 and I don’t think it’s fluke, but lucky for the Jays they own the sports media and announcers so everyone can tow the party line that they’re a much better team than that.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 i figured instead of criticizing the Jays, we can take a break and criticize Donald Trump for a while: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/mlb/report-trump-administration-blocks-deal-between-mlb-cuba/ar-BBVJUZt?li=AAggXBR Quote The Trump administration rejected a deal between Major League Baseball and the Cuban Baseball Federation that would've allowed Cuban-born players to sign with major-league teams without defecting, according to the Washington Post's Karen DeYoung. A senior U.S. official said the existing deal was canceled because it was "based on erroneous interpretation by the former Obama administration that the Cuban Baseball Federation was not part of Cuba's communist government", according to Reuters' Matt Spetalnick. MLB, the players' union, and the Cuban Baseball Federation reached an agreement in December to allows players from the island to sign big-league contracts without defecting. Their deal modeled the ones MLB has in place with leagues in Japan, South Korea, and China. There was hope it would help eliminate human trafficking involving Cuban players defecting to join MLB. The Trump administration has taken issue with the agreement since it was agreed upon over concerns that the Cuban government would profit from a U.S. business. It was done on Obama's watch, therefore it's wrong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
