misfish Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 04:00 PM on Sportsnet and they are off and running for another season...another like last year or better would be GREAT !!! Oh Im sure me mudder will have it on.
captpierre Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 I'm glad they're back but by the 6 th inning I'll remember how slow the game of baseball is. ?
John Bacon Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 They have made a couple of additons to their pitching staff. I am not sure how much the Chris Leroux will help them; but, the other deal looks good. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-sign-left-hander-franklin-morales-1-year-deal/ http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-acquire-pitcher-chris-leroux-phillies/
Old Ironmaker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 I'm glad they're back but by the 6 th inning I'll remember how slow the game of baseball is. Slow as molasses in January as Mom says still. a baseball game can be timed with a Sun Dial. That's why I watch Blue Jays in 30.
dave524 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 This is the year to do it, by the sounds of things Encarcion and Bautista may be off to teams with deeper pockets next year.

Another depth move
netminder Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Good game yesterday. Fun pitching duel to watch and the right team came out on tip. Stroman showing he's mature enough to be an ace and Archer showing off the strikeout machine he is. I will admit too, even being the huge baseball fan I am, I'm usually doing something else while watching the game. Be it playing with my tablet or reading a book, or have it on the radio while I mess about in the garage. Blue Jays in 30 is the best idea they've had at Sportsnet in a long time.
misfish Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Blue Jays in 30 is the best idea they've had at Sportsnet in a long time. OH COME ON NOW, THEY HAD THE LEAFS IN 6 MINUTES. Then again, that was way to long.LOL Edited April 4, 2016 by Brian B
kickingfrog Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Might be a little harder to get tickets this year. At least in the last minute way I have the last few years. My son is 7 and is just now getting into baseball and is playing it for the first time. We'll see if that gets him more interested in going. I'd love to do a little road trip in a few years and take him to a few ball parks to see the Jays play on the road.
David Chong Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 This will be a fun team to watch! Michael Saunders will be a lot better than most people expect him to be. Having Tulo for a full season and healthy should scare more than a few opposition pitchers. And his defence...
Beans Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Posted April 6, 2016 We was robbed !!!...First you can't slide into the catcher if he is blocking the plate... now you can't touch the second base man to break up a double play...Baseball is becoming a game for pussies...
netminder Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 I don't understand what happened yet. Someone from MLB needs to come and say exactly what he did wrong. Make a Brendan Shanahan style video. Not even joking - this could be a great learning experience for the entire league. That is, if they continue calling this play the same way 3 months from now...
Joeytier Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 No way in hell he interfered with his ability to get the ball to 1st...robbed is right
Brettiop Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 They got the call right, as the rules are written. But i dont agree with the rules. If Jose would have kept touching 2nd base, he would have been safe
jimmer Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 Bautista was not safe, it was the guy on first being called out because of the interference by Bautista. Sucky rule. They're taking the excitement out of the game.
kickingfrog Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 MLB will have this rule kicking them in the pills all season. Remember when the nhl changed the skate in the crease rule in the late '90's and then chose to ignore the rule on a overtime cup winning goal?
Brettiop Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 Bautista was not safe, it was the guy on first being called out because of the interference by Bautista. Sucky rule. They're taking the excitement out of the game. Your correct i meant the runner on first.
Acountdeleted Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 That was an absolute disaster. 2 runs called back that cost the Jays the game. Its really unfortunate, Sanchez was absolutely brilliant. Of course all of this could have been avoided if Cecil didn't decide to take the night off.

Its really unfortunate, Sanchez was absolutely brilliant. Of course all of this could have been avoided if Cecil didn't decide to take the night off. first earned runs allowed since fathers day 2015? Cut the guy some slack! It wasn't Cecil or even Bautista that cost them the game. They had way too many opportunities score and couldn't cash in. THAT'S what cost them the game. Edited April 6, 2016 by netminder
Thrilla Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Yep Cecil has been lights out. Can't blame him for giving up 1 homer lol Donaldson injured. Hopefully nothing serious! Edited April 6, 2016 by Thrilla
Acountdeleted Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) And another blow save. Jays should be 4-0 right now. Donaldson was just a strain. Day to day. Thank goodness. (My pet peeve is blown save. I over react a little but I am more critical of relievers then I am of starters) Edited April 6, 2016 by jeremy84
muddler Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 The first 20 games or so don't mean a lot. Pitchers finding their rhythm and hitters finding their strokes. Remember that you don't want the team to burn out by August. We will get our share of these same types of wins. These losses were NO blow outs. They were good indicators that this team needs a little tweaking here and there( as do all the other teams). That's the manager's job. It's 162 games, and a lot can happen, remember last year? I like what I see for the most part. This is a very good team. I have high hopes for them this year too, My 2 cents.........muddler
FloatnFly Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 first earned runs allowed since fathers day 2015? Cut the guy some slack! It wasn't Cecil or even Bautista that cost them the game. They had way too many opportunities score and couldn't cash in. THAT'S what cost them the game. pretty much. i mean what almost 40 strikeouts in 4 games, not good
FrankTheRabbit Posted April 6, 2016 Report Posted April 6, 2016 4 games in, long season. It's probably been beaten to death, but strong pitching will always beat strong hitting. So many things can happen from now till Oct. I'm still not a fan of Shapiro/Rogers & Co., but it's still nice to watch them play again.
