Kalenn Istarion posted:I would like nothing more than for him to be great but I am going to be deeply surprised if he is. spring training stats mean nothing but he's having a superlative spring training. what does mean something is how locked in he looks. check out any single PA from this spring, he sees the ball every pitch pretty much. knock on wood but predicting 35+ hr

Zigmidge posted:If you're telling me that he wasn't pent up over it and didn't used that an excuse to lash out then he's an even bigger baby than I was previously implying. It was dyson that had issue with the flip. Then next season someone threw at bautista in retaliation (was that ventura?) and then joey slid hard into second in subsequent retaliation. It was odor that had lots to say to the press about the batflip after the fact though

tadashi posted:Bautista is an rear end in a top hat, too. We just don't see it because it doesn't get caught on camera so much. I have heard multiple commentators say he is not well liked around baseball. Don't want to get into the reasons for this cause it's a can of worms but he's well liked by his teammates so that's all that should count.

back back back is bad and yet at the same time "up up up and there she goes yes sir she's gone" is great, baseball truly is a game of subtleties

it's just that it's weird that he seems to fetishize it so much it's like "man when we win the world series I'm gonna have a drink!!!" like he's going all the way after prom. But then he chickens out even after having won a world series because for some reason taking a drink would literally change who he is as a person. I do drink sometimes and it seems to have less of a bearing on who I am as a person than this guy who doesnt drink

breaks my heart to see eddie in the racist hat there. also according to his DL they're putting him up in a locker room or something? shameful organisation. my hopes for the jays this year are: 1. pillar offensive breakout season 2. a healthy rotation all season 3. offense between 2015/2016 levels while maintaining last years pitching quality and a world series. edit: oh I needed to pick one, alright make it the offensive breakout season for kp and throw in a gold glove while you're at it The Walrus fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:He has no power and can't help but swing at anything near the zone tumbling off the plate into the dirt in the other batters while I yell at him from space. I mean yeah I agree, it's not going to happen I know it. but his at bats really look good this spring. nice discipline, good sense of the zone. don't actually think I've seen him SO in the game's I've seen. obviously he's never going to be a power hitter but if he can hit opposite to a shift on a somewhat regular basis setting up top of the order that would be such an incredibly key piece in the jays arsenal

hey does anyone have a good screenshot of that kid making the face when the ball got grabbed from in front of him during the wbc? would make a good photoshop thread imo edit: I can't find it anywhere, it's not helping I don't remember what game it was. I don't think it was the jones/machado play edit: the kid in question kind of looks like the infamous messy face rib kid if that helps The Walrus fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Mar 28, 2017 |

IcePhoenix posted:Context is king, it's a bad season for Bryce Harper. Smoak was generally considered one of the top five players in the 2008 Major League Baseball draft, but his demands for a high-dollar contract caused several teams to pass on him. The Texas Rangers selected Smoak with the eleventh overall pick,[12] leading USA Today to comment that "getting Smoak at No. 11 may be the best-value pick of the first round."[13] Smoak was often touted by scouts as one of the best defensive first basemen in the 2008 draft.[14][15] Some scouts compared Smoak to fellow switch hitters Mark Teixeira and Chipper Jones.[16] Baseball America wrote that, as a first baseman, Smoak had "Gold Glove-caliber actions and soft hands", as well as "advanced footwork and instincts at first base", though they wrote that he had merely adequate arm strength.[4] Nonetheless, several scouting reports wrote that Smoak's biggest strength was his ability to hit for both power and average on both sides of the plate.[4][14]

It seemed like carrera and goins were better clubhouse fits than upton. That plus uptons trade value it kind of nakes sense to me

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Versatility at what? Liability for what? essentially infield versatility, they have barney to cover potential injuries or offdays and... that's it. outfield is less stacked in terms of talent but there's bodies there at least. If upton had brought down his SO % this spring he would have more of a case but he really didn't. edit: and I think you guys are underselling goins defensive ability. I think he's one of the best in the league in the infield. I'm a goins fan I guess so probably doing some mental gymnastics to have it make sense to me
