The 2016 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

[GirlySports]

The crowd is fantastic! Resolute is in for a couple of great games.

[Karl]

It's happening!!! Storen!

[TheAlpineOracle]

No Smoak is such a positive for the Jays at the bottom of the order.

[Corral]

wow there are a lot of Jays fans there tonight. Way to go Vancouver.

[V]

Storen is going to completely shut them down, haha.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Storen looks like he dropped about 15 pounds from when he was with the Jays. Too bad he didn't show up for camp in shape. Looked like he trained for a pie eating contest in Toronto.

No Smoak but an Upton ! Both hurt my soul

[chockfullofgoodness]

Ha! Cy Storen.

[GirlySports]

I always think it's weird that in 2016 the catcher still has to give the pitcher signs. Can't they wear earpieces like quarterbacks?

Wouldn't the batter hear what the catcher was saying?

Batter would hear what the catcher is telling the pitcher to throw.

[Karl]

Haha! We barely even touched Storen's breaking balls. Particularly hilarious since most of them were hanging meatballs.

[V]

Estrada is just sick today.

[TheAlpineOracle]

I can take a low strike zone if the ump is calling it consistently. Have to give this ump props for that.

[Jiggy_12]

Jays fans that made the trip are seeing something special thus far, this is the best I've seen Estrada.

It could come from the dugout or it could be spoken in code.
The defense can hear what the QB is saying.

[chockfullofgoodness]

I'm always amazed at how catchers can track a foul ball hit directly behind them like that.

[chockfullofgoodness]

Travis keeping the streak alive.

[Karl]

Storen's breaking balls getting a bit better now.
