| 2025 Blue Jays
Have not followed the Jays in the off season.
I didn't even know there was a spring training game in Dunedin this morning.
Max Scherzer? When did that happen? Then, dare I say, Santander. Both free agent signings.
Did a quick search........ at least Springer is back. Looking forward to TD and Uncrustables commercials with Guerrero Jr.
Win or lose, Jays baseball is always relaxing and enjoyable to watch.
I see Buck is back........... always good to hear his voice and see the hair.
Hazel Mae looks like she's back. I hope that other hottie is back (can't remember her name).
I'm watching the game on PVR. All games now scheduled for recording.
BTW, how are the Canucks doing? I have yet to watch a single one of their games. I got in on the first page of the thread here on RS, just to get in, but not checking that anymore, either.

Yes, Vladdy is back, for now.
The Jays are having a great Spring Training. Always hopeful they’ll have a decent season. I recently watched the Tokyo Series. Unlike the New York Yankees, the Dodgers are a very likeable team (at least for me). If the Jays ever played the Dodgers, I wouldn’t know who to cheer for, jbol. Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas, etc. What really interested me was that young pitcher from Japan. Rōki Sasaki. Only 23 years of age. Throwing 102.5 mph fast ball. His debut MLB game was not great, but it was mostly due to playing for the first time in a Dodgers uniform in his home country. Anyway, going to follow both teams this season. PVR gonna get a work out. If interested, look up how the Dodgers ended up with Sasaki. Blue Jays involvement (sigh). https://www.foxsports.com/stories/ml...om-roki-sasaki No guarantee this guy is going to be any good...................
Also, looking forward to the World Baseball Classic. Go, Canada, GO!!!

Fuck the Dodgers I hope any team but them win this year.

I used to be a big baseball guy in the 90’s playing it and watching it now it’s right next to golf on the least interesting to watch of all sports. I can’t understand how viewership is still so high and the salaries are so out of control.

-latest contract offer from the Jays to Guerrero:
MLB reporter Mike Rodriguez:
According to my sources, Toronto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are doing everything they can to reach an agreement before Opening Day. They were in discussions today, and my source says that they were talking about more than $550M for around 14 to 15 years. #Toronto #VladimirGuerreroJr
If Vlady accepts the contract extension offer, he would be the third highest paid player in MLB after Ohtani and Juan Soto.

Home and Season Opener about to start.
Four players honoured.............
Daulton Varsho = Gold Glove
Andrés Giménez = three time Golden Glove
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. = two time Silver Slugger
Anthony Santander = Silver Slugger
Oh yeah, Blue Jays defence - Team Golden Glove
Starting lineup is pretty impressive.
:
Damn, Ricky Henderson. Did not know he passed away. Sad.............
I'm super glad there wasn't any stupidity during the anthems. The announcer did a great job of explaining how sports and game of baseball has no place in politics and the other way around. Our anthem was nicely done. The smiles on the singers in the choir. Damn
KK back to throw the ceremonial pitch. 4 x Gold Glove and Platinum Glove recipient. Love the three outfielder jump........ brings tears to the eyes.
Berios His fifth straight season as starting pitcher. Too bad he has to face Adley Rutschman. Nemesis is an understatement.

Damn, Orioles are scarier than ever. Burnaby/Maple Ridge's Tyler O'Neill, that's with two "L's" is now an Oriole. Plays piano and like his father is into weights. In fact, his dad was Mr. Canada in 1975. What a gem of a player. Six consecutive opening day home runs, an MLB record.

They had a few areas with Hello Kitty to take photos and they were handing out Hello Kitty x Toronto Blue Jays back packs for fans who purchased a special ticket, but no Hello Kitty walking around or anything of that sort. They have theme games that are posted on the Blue Jays website. I think the Hello Kitty thing happens once a year. Turns out they did this last year and was popular enough to do it again.
Edit: Blue Jays Theme Days

Edit: Blue Jays Theme Days | I want to go when it's Loonie Dog Night.
City Connect Friday is alright. People get free City Connect apparel on those nights.
8-3 loss, jbol. Rowdy Tellez, ftmfw!
Speaking of Hello Kitty games, LA Dodgers has the best.

Finally, got the monkey off their dicks.......... Blue Jays sweep the Mariners 3-0 with a 9-1 win.
Hasn't happened since July, 1991!
Good to see Jamie Campbell flip the broom across the Sportsnet broadcast desk. Only two times this year.
Before facing the Jays today, Seattle was the hottest team in baseball.
Not much to cheer about, as usual, so gettin' it in while I can, jbol.

Final regular season game, today. One win or a Yankees loss and the Blue Jays take the division title. Home field advantage and a bye from Wild Card series.
Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Jays win the World Series? Fuck Trump and the 51st State bullshit.
I've noticed some really really bad calls from the umps recently. Fuck the GOP, ijbol.
Vladdy Guerro Jr. "This is my house!!"
And, how about Kevin Kiermaier?
Loves singing Oh Canada. https://www.mlb.com/news/kevin-kierm...cial-assistant
Let's go, Blue Jays!

Cot Dam.............. Kirk hits a Grand Slam to give the Jays 5-1 lead at the bottom of the 1st inning. The guy is overweight and a slow runner, but holy smokes, he can hit. Reminds me of Babe Ruth (sort of). Body shaming has been all but a forgotten thing as his defensive play and now his offensive abilities has become a powerful asset for the team.
Just hope pitching doesn't crumble like they've done, many a times in the past.
And that Springer. Can't wait to see Bichette come back from his injury. And that new pitcher. It's all coming together!

They did it! They are American East Division Champions.
Home field advantage throughout the American League playoffs.
Could this be the year?
What a great post show interview............. Hazel wearing a really nice outfit. Perfect day for it with the roof open.
3 out of five series starts Saturday.
Looking beyond the east, the team that scares me the most are the Seattle Mariners. They are the one team that stands in our way. Good news is, we swept them in their park this year. Much improved lately, however, as in on a huge fricken tear.

Congrats to the Blue Jays! American League East division champions for the first time since 2015!
The players are partying with champagne and strobe lights in a celebration room now haha.
Great interview from George Springer on the field after the game haha.
Happy to see the Yankees and Red Sox heading into a wildcard battle hahaha.
Get ready for the playoffs!!!      
Springer wants to ride a police horse to celebrate the division title haha:

so much on the line in the last game of the season! Happy for them.
Was living in TO in 92-93 back to back World Series champs ... it was pandemonium. Maybe they will go far this year if things all line up. Wish them the best.

This one seems like it's a done deal. Even a Toronto team can't possibly blow this big lead ...

Great pitching from Gausman in game 1.
Varland and Dominguez also pitched well.
The offence came up huge this game.
Alejandro Kirk’s game is red hot! Two home runs. Five home runs in his last five at bats.
Vlady with one home run and one RBI. Vlady
made a great catch at first base to make a double play out.
Nathan Lucas had three RBIs.
The Yankees bullpen is gonna have plenty of tired arms for game 2 haha.
Yesavage is pitching in game 2 tomorrow.

| Not really a seasonsed baseball fan, only when the Jays are in the run but these relief pitchers that just pitch an inning or two ... surely, they have more left in their arm for another mid game relief of one or two innings, won't they? I know pitch counts is a factor but still, unless they go through the whole roster in one inning ...
I've always thought that baseball players are the 'softest' ... that's why they can play like 160 games.

Depends on the workload. If a guy pitches 2 innings he's probably not going to pitch the next day unless he had a lot of quick outs and kept his pitch count low. These guys are throwing hard and fatigue is a real thing, your arm can't recover fast enough after a certain amount of pitches the day before.
