I was at this game! Got tix for the one on July 20th as well. Anyone that hasn't been to a Canadians game should go; it's a great way to spend an afternoon/evening. They even won! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it's his back, must have tweaked it when turning around to watch all those home runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Another good start by Stro last night....all for naught as the Jays bats were once again silenced by a pitcher few of us have ever heard of... Rumors of a Stroman trade are heating up and TBH, I see this as a positive. Stroman won't be the same pitcher by the time the Jays are a realistic contender again, so it makes sense to trade high on him. (Personally, I wanted to trade him after he won the MVP at the World Baseball Classic) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Seattle got a young Randy Johnson in a trade for an experienced pitcher. Fingers crossed there is another arm like that coming back for Stroman.

Clint for Stro and we are set Yeah pretty deep lineup disgusting actually, but it should be you guys vs Dodgers in World Series my prediction. I don't know if I'm sold on that Clint for Stro deal that someone keeps asking you about, especially now seeing they sent him back down. And now seeing he's not even showing up to triple A yeah I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been for a couple of seasons and FTR he accepted) https://www.mlb.com/news/indians-prospect-clint-frazier-scouting-report/c-157028552 Still, the demotion might even be an advantage, as they could reasonably request the Yanks add to make the deal happen: NY doresn't have any room for Frazier in the outfield. They definitely do have room for Stroman in the rotation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 On 4/6/2019 at 11:52 AM, coastal.view said: true just turn off your tv for a season or 2 until they decide to field a major league roster not worth wasting time on them this season maybe watch a few games when guerrero gets called up but there really is nothing to see here this season Wow, what a fairweather fan. You are as bad as those people "embarrassed" that the Canucks didn't win in 2011. The Blue Jays in 2019 are a very interesting team to follow. You are getting glimpses at as few as three and as many as six or seven players with legitimate star potential for their careers. Watching young players develop is far more compelling than watching a .500 team full of veterans. Your "nothing to see this season" is so "anti-fan" in terms of what fans (real fans) care about. Watching the first games from players like Vlad, Biggio, Bo (likely) and the further development of Jr., Grich etc. is as good as it gets for those wanting to see young players getting their feet wet. Pearson may even get some innings as the year moves along. "Fans" who only watch if their team is winning are not, in my books, fans at all.

You hadn't heard of Skaggs?! You follow ball? Tyler, who is same age as Stroman, was a very high pick right out of high school (40th overall in 2009, whereas Stroman was picked three years later out of University). While he was with Diamondbacks organization, he was their Vlad (in 2013 he entered the season as the No. 1 prospect in the their organization as ranked by both by Baseball America and MLB.com). Always had a lively and dominant arm but has had control issues at times so far in his still old career. He is 28 and this is a big year for him for sure but for a big lefty, he is a coveted arm and most any team in MLB would have him in their rotation. I realize this is a Jays discussion topic but didn't think it fair to characterize the pitcher from that game as someone "few of us have heard of" as if you follow ball at all, chances are not only have you heard of Tyler you probably have followed his career just as hockey fans will have followed most top picks that have made it to NHL.

I guess it's a question of what the definition of "follow ball" is..... If it's "Do you follow the career of a pitcher in a different division who was drafted 10 years ago, has a lifetime ERA of 4.45 and a W-L record of 27-37", then I guess the answer is. "No, I don't follow ball".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No, I don't follow ball".... An equivalent hockey player would be, for example, a Kris Russell or a Brayden Schenn. You likely would easily recognize those names hence you follow hockey. Baseball is clearly something you pay attention to if one or two teams are winning and/or you hear a dozen or so names. It isn't a big deal, just means you are not a baseball fan. I don't follow cricket. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
