I think we'd all like to see a bit less abrasive Joey Bats, but there are times when the attitude makes the player. I remember when Todd Bertuzzi was in his prime and was a similar personality. There was little effort to change the person he was, because the "mean" was part of what him the player he was. With Bats, it's not so much "mean", it's an abundance of pride and a definite tendency to take offense when he feels disrespected. I think the "wake up call" was a great thing for both JB and the Jays. His ego is going to make him desperately want to prove wrong those who didn't think he was worth a long-term contract, or that his play wouldn't justify the negative PR that comes with having a "hated" guy on the roster. The kind of Joey Bats you if he want is the one that has something to prove. i kinda would like a jb with a bit more loyalty and a little less "me first" persona so let's see what he does after this season if he in fact plays well.. .. let's see if he is clear he realistically wants to remain with the team Edited March 9, 2017 by coastal.view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like his demand was a punch in a way to Rogers, to say you better finally pay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Jays won today over the Phillies 6-4. Salty with a perfect day in the plate today including a dinger. Liriano pitched 5 shutout innings. Gurriel looks like a promising prospect also. He hit a dinger today as well. Things starting to turn around this spring for the jays. I just want the season to start already lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So did Kevin Pillar just get really good at baseball?? Finally nice to see guys take in the get on base at all costs approach. I've felt for years everybody has just been trying to crush home runs instead of taking some off and playing small ball. Hoping Pillar has a great year he's got so much upside.

Mostly minor league players play the majority of spring training up until the last week of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear if anything happens to him, I'm going to murder whoever touches his body. We need him this season to continue pitching lights out in the 9th inning of games and 4 out saves if necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
