He’s still got the final round! The game tomorrow is going to very anticlimactic. I love this! Yeah very exciting, especially when the guy you want to win, wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Very interesting didn't even think of this but saw this on social media. They didn't sing the Canadian Anthem before the HR Derby even though the one Canadian team representing the MLB had a participant in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 91 HR to 57, but Vlad still lost. Stupid format. It's obvious who is the derby king tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph. Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 That was insane. I'm so happy this kid is a Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Was bored, so for a summer project I'm throwing together a Blue Jay spreadsheet like a do for the Canucks. The all-time Blue Jays team based on at-bats and innings pitched looks as follows: C Ernie Whitt 1B Carlos Delgado 2B Damaso Garcia 3B Ed Sprague SS Tony Fernadez LF George Bell CF Vernon Wells RF Jose Bautista DH Edwin Encarnacion SP Dave Stieb SP Jim Clancy SP Roy Halladay SP Pat Hentgen SP Jimmy Key RP Bret Cecil RP Duane Ward RP Jerry Garvin RP Tom Henke RP Jim Acker For the most part a whos who of Blue Jays history but Ed Sprague?! (Edged out Gruber and Mulliniks) Never realized Blue Jays never had a guy for too long at that position. Hopefully Vladdy can blow past him in time.

Gurn Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Watching the game right now against Detroit and thinking the Jays are looking really good, in terms of the future, for batters and fielders. However I don't know that the same can be said for their pitching, is there anyone on their roster that would/will be with the team when it tries to contend in the play offs?

Wilbur Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/decision-haunt-blue-jays-looms-dalton-pompey/ I'll go on the record and state that waiving Pompey will not come back to haunt the Jays. The guy has wheels but, at this point (26 years old), that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one I do question a bit tbh just because he is still only 26 he isn't 30 yet, I get the frustration part due to injuries but he's got skill, if they're willing to hang onto Travis this long still and he's 28, I don't see why they couldn't of done the same with Pompey. I really hope no one grabs him, but I believe a team will. I got a feeling @Xbox isn't going to be liking this move by the Jays.

Yeah, stranger things have happened with prospects finally getting it together, but I still have serious doubts that he can be a MLB batter. That being said, I would be a little surprised too if he clears waivers, he could aid some playoff-bound team as a pitch-runner. It may not happen this year, but I don't think Travis' days with Jays are long either. There's a lot of depth in the middle infield that is passing him now. He could be done the moment he gets healthy. So what I'm saying is, I guess he's a Jay for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this article earlier and I was wondering if the Jays move some guys (Stroman, Sogard, Giles, Smoak, Galvis) would this open a spot for them to keep DP? I guess the DFA answers that question...

Rob_Zepp Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Been catching games on delay but Youtube has last night. More and more impressed with how the younger Jays are playing their positions and taking their at bats even if the results were lean last night. This team reminds me of the Yankees of a few years ago when they fell off the earth in the standings but were back two years later and people wondered how that happened when it was all due to having some great young talent brought along the right way. Very impressed with this new manager - Charlie seems to understand development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
