Blue Jays Discussion: No longer the off-season. It's time for real baseball

[ER89]

Jesus[/B]. Good luck explaining that away.

For whatever reason his name seemed very familiar, but when I pulled up his fangraphs page he's just a nothing 25yo relief pitcher who's climbing the levels at the a-ball tier.

Pun intended?

Buck/Pat calling a Tanner Roark start?

It's everything we've every wanted!

I'm happy to hear familiar voices .

 

[The Nemesis]

He probably didn’t realize he had it.

He was just holding it for a friend. He thought it was sugar and his friend was just really into baking after watching the Great British Bake-Off.

 

[The Nemesis]

There's the Roark we know and "love"

 

[hoglund]

Get Roark out of here.

 

[hoglund]

I'm glad that Montoyo listened to me, let's hope that the Jays can still win this game.

 

[Leafin]

So Roark sucks

 

[The Nemesis]

Aaand there it is! It took all of 1 ST batter for Buck's first "HR call that dies on the track"

Drink!

 

[The Nemesis]

What was that? I was told by very reputable Keith Laws that Cavan sucks at hitting fastballs.

 

[The Nemesis]

oof, borderline strike. Not a full blown Yankee zone, but the umps are showing so far that they're ready for the season.

pretty darn close. There was a pitch in the top of the inning that I couldn’t believe wasn’t a called third strike. And then I remembered they are playing the Yankees

Sucks Roark is back

 

[Anthrax442]

What kinda sorcery is that?

 

[hoglund]

Sucks Roark is back

I didn't think that you can bring a pitcher back once you pulled him, is that a covid or spring training rule?

I would assume spring training

 

[as Pure as Evil]

well that was better then the first. good bounce back for roark

 

[The Nemesis]

So I just went and made breakfast and came back to the game like 2 minutes ago.

How the heck is Roark back in the game?

It's the new Roark rule. Pushed for all off-season by Montoyo.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

montoya choses his words very wisely. he could have gave players hope by throwing names in to the media but he just used all of em lol

 

[The Nemesis]

I don't want Roark near this rotation even with Pearson out


Ryu
Ray
Matz
Stripling
One of Thornton, Zeuch, Kay, etc. Or maybe if you want to go super-ballsy you give Manoah a chance to break camp with the team as a short term "force me to keep you up" audition.

then Pearson comes in and slides into the #2 spot and everyone moves down and whoever of Matz/Stripling/#5 guy has been least successful gets bumped down.

I thought the same thing, but I guess you ca and do this in spring training, it sucks for the Jays chances of winning.

 

[The Nemesis]

That's a bad call, Cavan. Let Springer have it.

It's the new Roark rule. Pushed for all off-season by Montoyo.

Hell is the idea that any game at any time Tanner Roark could enter or re-enter out of nowhere.

 

[The Nemesis]

fantastic

He wants Roark to be the first pitcher to be able to save his own W.
