The 2016 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

[puffnstuff]

I didnt come up with the stat. The voice on the TV told me. That liar!

[JiriHrdina]

Weird I don't remember him playing short at all.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Donny doing that thing where he hits everything again. He's going to hit the cycle at some point this season.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

The O's are actually losing? Wow, about time, hope the Rockies can hold on.

[Scornfire]

64 QS?! if the bullpen wasn't so terribad they'd probably be leading by a mile -_-

[MillerTime GFG]

Anyone else's audio off? Can hear it a good second before, and then hear it again.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Smoak! 3-0.


oops, 3-1.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Smoak is always good for about 20 home runs.

Yep. I'm watching it on free range tv and was wondering if that was causing it.

[ben voyonsdonc]

Seems to be better now though.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Oh Stro.........you were doing so well.

4-3 Padres.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Dammit

[TheAlpineOracle]

What the hell is Saunders doing. Not s single pitch even remotely close to the plate.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Stro done for the night, losing 4-3, 2 men on. Not a spectacular outing.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Oh boy, great play Tulo. Saved a run.

[KelVarnsen]

Sweet play by Tulo.

Personally, I think Bats is an outstanding leader to his ballclub, heck even his own teammates attested to this OVER and OVER and OVER again. I couldn't give a rats ass if he treats fans poorly. Or maybe you just caught him on a bad day.

But this is a guy that was one of the biggest supporters of deffering contract for the Jays to land Ervin Santana a couple of years ago, a guy who has recently paid off both teams' meals (home&away) when he was on Class A and Buffalo for rehab assignment, a guy who -despite being verbal about being a true RF- never complained in public once about playing other positions (and oh i watch a lot of Jays games, he has played 3B and 1B previously), and a guy who was one of the key players in turning around this season when he came up to Gibby and suggested that he will help this 2016 team by batting leadoff in a contract year.

You keep on stating, like it's a fact, that Jose has a huge ego...but the truth of the matter is, on that one day you had that specific interaction with Mr. Bautista, the only ego that got bruised is yours buddy. I tend to think, as do most BJ's fan that Jose is an outstanding ballplayer and teammate. If he is a ###### outside of the field, the only person that seems to care constantly is you TAO. I'm not trolling my friend, just please stop with the whole Jose Bautista = "biggest ego in all of baseball" propaganda man.

I'd love to see this amazing baseball player retire in a Jays uni and play out the rest of his career in white&blue, but for the right term and price. It sucks that he developed late in his career, but if we are talking about Bats as a baseball player and what he can do in the game, I'm sorry but he is a premium position player that deserves to get paid. That's a fact that you can hopefully sink your teeth on.

BTW, I don't think we'll hear anything from Bautista splitting time with BJ Upton in RF. He needs constant off days to gauge that broken toe and we all know how meticulous Bats is in keeping his body in prime working condition.

I want to hear what happened! Joey Bats be the best, so I'm sure you deserved it!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

O's and Sox both losing right now, be great for the Jays to get going here.

2 on, none out. Good start.

[puffnstuff]

Upton up

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Upton pinches for Smoak, crowd is jacked.
