2019 Blue Jays Season Thread

Haha

I reccomend bookmarking bluejaysmilb scoreboard. Keep an eye on Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Groshans, Pearson, Pardhino, etc

Lots of prospects worth keeping an eye on while the MLB team positions itself for a high pick.

Let’s say the Jays pick top 5 at the draft following this season...when could you usually expect that player to be with the big club? Don’t they usually take at least 3-4 years

[flames_fan_down_under]

Depends if he is a prep school player or a finished university product. The former could be 2-4 years while the other could potentially join the team after the draft or the next season. All dependent on whether he signs with the Jays of course.

EDIT: It most often takes draft picks at the very least two full years in the minors before they see MLB time.

[Roof-Daddy]

Yeah the Astros drafted Bregman in 2015 and he was on the roster in 2016. An all star by 2018.

But even if it takes a few years, no biggie.

Another quality start from Stroman at least.

Too bad Borucki is hurt. Would have been nice to see if he could follow up last seasons performance.

SRF got lit up in AAA yesterday. Something is off with him for sure.

Buckholtz pitched today. Only gave up 4 hits in 5 innings but they were all dingers haha

57 K's in the series against Cleveland.

Maybe the Blue Jays are bad enough to lose 110 games this year. I thought they'd have too much competition for 100 loss teams in the AL. But they seem intent on leading that pack.

Sad state of the game when you have more teams trying to lose 100 games a year, than trying to win that many.

The MLB needs a salary cap. Not sure what number that should be but somewhere near $150 million. A floor of $100 million.

I agree with the Cap, especially in a league where only a few teams make the post season but I would go a bit higher with the Cap and lower with the floor. 80M for a floor and 180M for a cap. There are 4 teams right now that would have to spend more and 4 Teams that would have to trim.

Could go lower with the Cap, but its better then nothing.

Gotta do something to get them out of that horrendous stadium.

[flamingred89]

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. The jays have 6 hits and it’s only the 4th inning AND they’re succeeding at small ball.

Be still my beating heart.

[transplant99]

Yes Buck...it IS small ball, its working, but its still small ball.

Im lovin it myself.

[flamingred89]

Teoscar’s defence strikes again. Wow.

[transplant99]

Hernandez drops a routine fly ball. I really try and want to cheer for him but.....Ugh.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Jays!! Kenny g!!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Jays beat the Sox in Game 1. Wasn't expecting that outcome.

[Karl]

Well. Hope they can have more games like this. They'll still lose a ton of games but hopefully we can see more games with at bats like this. Much easier on the fans eyes.

Almost everyone looked decent with the bat today, even Gurriel Jr looked good.
