So what's with the split squad games, Jays had 2 games on Sunday. Is that just a camp thing? Also it's stupid that the league won't let Martin play in the WBC

Luigi Thirty posted:Yeah, half the team goes to one game and half the team goes to another. That way the coaches can see more prospects and invitees in action during spring training. And you get to see dingers by minor league guys you've never heard of! Fair, heard mets had this tea bow prospect that can foot balls or something, not sure how that's relevant to baseball tho

Omne posted:My wife is letting me convert the bonus room to a bit of a man cave, and I want to watch baseball there. For those of you who use the MLB.TV apps, what are your thoughts on it? Any devices in particular that are better, or does it not matter between Apple TV/Chromecast/Amazon Fire/Roku? I have watched it on my browser and on my iPhone 6s. 6s has better frame rate but don't know if that can be cast properly to a TV and keep the frame rate or not.

Honestly the Jays have been doing a great job of highlighting the personalities for the last couple years, which is a big part of why Toronto fans have bought in so much. Osuna is not the most dynamic of guys but the fans love him.

NiceGuy posted:God I hated the loving Price deal when it was signed and I hate it even more now. Thank christ we finally blew our prospect load on another frontline pitcher in Sale or we'd be turbofucked right out of the gate. And truth be told it's not looking rosy after Sale and Porcello anyway. I was so happy the Jays didn't blow their brains out to keep him More so now

LonesomeCrowdedWest posted:Some sources were saying the ball went 30 feet in the air after hitting his head I had a line drive hit the brim of my hat so directly that it split the brim and left me a goose egg from the indirect shock through the brim for several days, another guy in my league had to have his jaw wired shut for 6 weeks, so it can vary pretty widely

On the other hand, after listening to Buck all year, having the TNT or whatever announcers imposed for the Jays' ALDS and ALCS was like having someone take a piss in my ear.

shadok posted:Donaldson doesn't do DL. Any injury less severe than actually having his legs severed from his torso, he'll just walk it off.

So upton's not just not on the roster, he's been released by the Jays Also Osuna on 10-day DL gently caress And I guess there's probably a regular season n/v thread somewhere now?
