Title: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on March 07, 2023, 09:15:43 PM
Off to Dunedin Florida for some pre-season Blue Jays baseball. Liked what have seen so far out of this team.

Have a good time watching. It can be really neat to see the players so close and especially the speed of a pitched ball.

My only time but memorable was in Sarasota, Fl., during a visit to my elder sister's place, that I saw a spring training game.
Got 3rd row tickets above Yankee's dugout. Jeter, Rodriguez were right in front of my beating heart .  Super thrill.

Earlier I saw Rod Carew (was a huge fan) with Angels play season game vs the Jays in their original outdoor stadium before Roger's centre.
Again with some business tickets was up only bout 4 rows behind 1st base.
Even got a pic of him catching the ball tossed to 1st basemen when running off field
Many other neat memories seeing Twins games over the years

Games: March 9,11,13,15,18th. Box 105 right next to the Jays dugout. 2019 last year we went for spring training, will nice to be back. Golf, on the off days.

Looks like the Blue Jays should have a pretty good team this year, again.

First regular season game, March 30th in St. Louis. Home opener April 11th.

Post by: Pigskin on March 31, 2023, 03:20:37 AM
Nice to start the season with a win. Springer with 5 hits, Bo, 4, and Chapman with 3. Vlad with 2 hits, 3 RBI's.

maybe one season I will really try to get into baseball right from the start...playoff baseball is awesome..maybe when i retire...

I am glad there are fans like Pigskin who love the sport.

Day off for the Blue Jays. Back at it tomorrow in St. Louis.

Day off already.

Post by: Jockitch on April 01, 2023, 08:06:24 PM
Today they have just 1 hit going into the 7th and down 3 - 0 to St. Louis
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 01, 2023, 08:50:23 PM
19 hits in the opener, 3 today. Blue Jays had runners on, just couldn't cash them in. With 10 walks, the Blue Jays should have had a better result. 4-1 St. Louis.

Really like some of the new rules. Time clock for the pitchers, keeps the game moving. I also like the new shift rule.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 02, 2023, 10:27:11 PM
Chris Bassitt was terrible today. Chapman still swing a hot bat.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 06, 2023, 04:36:40 AM
Solid game by the Blue Jays. Vlad and Varsho, both with 3 hits. Manoah 7IP/1Hit.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jesse on April 06, 2023, 03:49:37 PM
That's the Manoah I expected to see to start the season.

Nice to have a pitcher in the arsenal who can make this kind of impact. Still need to get those bats warmed up.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jockitch on April 06, 2023, 07:13:55 PM
Really enjoyed the success Kikuchi had and loved the drag bunt, single, by Varsho yesterday
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 07, 2023, 04:15:26 AM
Another good outing for the Blue Jays. Gausman looked good. Vlad another 3 hits, Bo 2, Varsho also with 2 hits.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 08, 2023, 02:08:24 PM
Bassitt had a nice game. Bo with a hot bat and a big blast for the win.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jockitch on April 08, 2023, 04:06:48 PM
Bassit certainly kept it close and hooray the come from behind occurred.

Definitely like the consistent pace due to the pitch clock
As such, the batters don?t stand around fidgeting with their gloves, i.e., as they must get back in the box
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 09, 2023, 06:48:53 PM
Bo, Vlad, Chapman, still with hot bats. Springer also with 2 hits. Nothing from the bottom half of the lineup. Pitching was a little iffy in the middle innings. Home opener on April 11th.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 09, 2023, 10:46:55 PM
Blue Jays looked terrible until the 6th inning. 6 in the 6th, 4 in the 7th.

Bo, Vlad, and Chapman still hot, Merrifield with a nice day at the plate.

Kiermaier 3H, 5 RBI's, Chapman also with 5 RBI's

Romano gives up 3 runs in the 9th. Sad.

Extra innings.

Crazy game. 12-11 Blue Jays.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 12, 2023, 03:25:27 AM
Not Manoah's best outing. Jays batting are very hot right now. The catch by Kiermaier was a beauty. 
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jockitch on April 12, 2023, 05:13:52 AM
Never saw anything till late night recap and what a no doubter performance by the Jays
Kiermaier?s catch was absolutely jump out of your seat eye popping
Jays had 5 homers - WOWEE

Manoah however is not looking like he trained well

Big test this weekend for the Jays. The undefeated Rays are a very good team. 
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 15, 2023, 02:37:04 AM
Excellent win for the Blue Jays. Very good pitching, well with the exception of Yimi. Springers with a big lead off HR. Bo with a 5 hit night.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 15, 2023, 10:35:37 PM
Another big win for the Blue Jays. Our pitching was very good. Best game I have seen Kikuchi pitch.

Kikuchi pitches another gem yesterday. Brandon Belt's bat finally gets going. Vladi with another HR.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays

Manoah pitches 7 excellent innings in a 3-2 loss.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 23, 2023, 08:11:52 PM
Gausman with a nice bounce back game. 7 very good innings. Vladi, Chapman, and Jansen, doing the damage with the bats today.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 26, 2023, 03:12:26 AM
Blue Jays with another great pitching performance. Spring and Jansen with hot bats.

Wonderful pitching performance, again, by Kik., who is now 4-0.  Jays really getting a good bang for their pitching $$ now
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on April 29, 2023, 03:17:44 AM
Manoah was good tonight, but not great. A few to many walks, and an early HR. However our relief pitching was excellent. Nice win.

Post by: Jockitch on April 29, 2023, 09:52:59 PM
Took the Jays, while only getting 3 hits total, 10 innings to score   but HOORAY, they eke out a 1 - 0 victory
Gausman was terrific and the Jay relievers superb
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays

Blue Jays with back to back wins. Berrios had a nice outing, and 6 players with 2 hits.
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jockitch on May 07, 2023, 02:50:02 PM
Early in season but Jays offence cannot afford to lag behind in these games.
Many top teams are getting both pitching and hitting and 5-5 runs won?t work.
Presently just at the edge of falling out of Wildcard spot
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Pigskin on May 07, 2023, 10:00:49 PM
Kikuchi with a very good day. Now 5-0. Jays also with good hitting again today. SWEEP.

Blue Jays get beat on back to back night. Yankees stealing signals on Monday night. Last night there starting pitcher had some kind of sticky substance on his hands. He got the boot.

Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays
Post by: Jockitch on May 18, 2023, 09:21:24 PM
another tremendous performance by Bassitt .
The batting average is poor but how timely Jansen's hitting is so far, up to 21 RBI's, is wonderful 
Title: Re: 2023 Blue Jays

Jays haven't been playing well as of late. However the broke out in a big way 20-1 over the Rays. Jays with 27 hits. Every player that batted with at least 1 hit.

Post by: Jockitch on May 30, 2023, 10:36:35 PM
Watching sport channel this afternoon and caught a stat on Guerrero Jr. has only a single homerun in the last 84 plate appearances.
Suspect they have counted walks and HBP stats to come up with that or perhaps not   
My gosh that is a terrible sub power performance

3 against the Rays (95-62)  5-5 last 10  (Clinched a spot, but could still beat Baltimore for the division)

Among a plethora of poor maneuvers in this game.

Pulling Berrios was stupid.

Good game, we needed to cash in some of those base runners. Very entertaining year.

I consider it another huge disappointment, personally.

Another year of key guys underperforming.

I watched this last whole game. It was bloody agonizing. BJs are annual under achievers. Shapiro and Atkinson was and is a loser combination in there respective positions.

Shohei Ohtani  just might become a Blue Jay

Like to watch Overdrive, life of a retired Senior, on TSN in the afternoon
....... they are presently dealing with a rumor that a private jet picked up Ohtani and has now arrived in Toronto

Sounds like Ohtani is still in California. Lots of different reports.

He was not on the private plan in question. No one knows anything.

Through all of this insanity, the only thing we can safely say is none of the insiders have any sources on this.

Dodgers score the major MLB free agent. As a Jay fan I was certainly hoping for Toronto (just in baseball) to get the prize.

I know from the beginning it was always going to be the Dodgers and I don't really believe it was ever in question.

But we sure got taken for a ride there for a minute.

Ohtani is deferring $680M until 2034. $46M against the luxury tax.

This stuff needs to illegal. Some teams just make a mockery of the league. Like Tampa Bay suddenly having an all-star coming off the IR every year when the play-offs hit when they have no cap room to add a player. Just garbage.

The Garbage Knights did the same this past spring.

So much greasy garbage in professional sports. Just different piles of it.

Technically no rules were broken. I'd be fine if the Jets did it. How long is KC out for? Hmmmmmmm..... ;)

That's the problem. Salary cap needs to count in the post-season.

That's not the defense you think it is.
