| 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.
Fuck Vladdy too that guy ain't worth anywhere near 500+ million dollars this league is on crack if he gets that kind of money.

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.
