Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Madness the 11th: BJ's like Dickey

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Would be funny if d'Arnaud wasn't involved at all. Still don't believe AA would be that foolish.

 

[tp71]

The way he states his claim, like everyone is stupid and doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm sure if Syndergaard + TDA are in the deal and we don't get young value added to RAD then he'll cover up his thoughts and try to say how AA came out on top.

Guy went from someone who wouldnt dare say a bad word about TDA two days ago from there's no guarantee he'll pan out. Trading him is a good idea and talking down to anyone who doesn't agree with him. I figured on that basis TDA will be gone.

Shi Davidi on Fan 590 right now.

This has been crazy to follow. AA is a bold bold man. He knows exactly what it takes to make this team a WS contender.

Can you summarize? I missed it.

 

[King Mapes]

Playoff revenue FTW!

Plus all the WS gear.

He's played a lot of The Show and realized that stacked rosters usually win in simulation mode.

 

[Gargyn]

wow this went quiet, thought the leaks would keep coming...maybe fallen apart?

 

[Leafssss]

Or is being fine tuned?

 

[FlareKnight]

wow this went quiet, thought the leaks would keep coming...maybe fallen apart?

Could be either way. Either things have fallen apart a little or the talks are intensifying and neither side wants to leak anything more out. Will just have to wait and see.

 

[sickest flow bro]

I hope Dickey comes to BJ's

 

[GoSensGo6172]

There doesn't have to be an update every 5 minutes guys. Let's allow things to play out here.

 

[King Mapes]

In order for bj's to be successful you need a Dickey

That should be the title if the next thread

thank god for the 25m national tv money

But Rogers is a parent company of the channel that owns the rights. So it'd really be like paying themselves no?

No its from ESPN

However, they also will lose all of their revenue sharing money (which was about $30M per year) by 2015, so it all evens out.

Gotta see it from where he's coming from though: 98% of the tweets and calls he's expected to field in his role are people who don't know diddly, so it has to wear on a guy for 158 or so games a year (only gets a couple of games off each season), plus the offseason activity he's seeing this year. Then factor in that people are 8 or 9 times more likely to call or tweet to complain about something, and you get a sense of what he faces. You'd be pretty jaded about regular fans' attitudes and opinions too.

He's referring to the Jays share of the US national TV deal.

 

[Leo Getz]

Heh, his last name is like the male genitalia. I get it.

Oh thanks. Didn't know that.

 

[p.l.f.]

tired of updating 'dickey' twitter

 

[King Mapes]

Don't like it, don't read.

 

[DatsyukianDeke*]

Don't like it, don't read.

It is getting a bit overdone now though.

25M is from the league deal. The Jay have a separate deal with Rogers.

It should also be noted a sucesfull team will mean more viewers and money for sportsnet which means more money for rogers.

1k. I'll have the new thread up in a sec.
