Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season V: Baseball's back and so are blockbusters (Jays send 4 prospects to A's for 3B Matt Chapman)

Have I missed the George Brett reference yet?

Don't recall one. But Buck has two years to endlessly compare Chapman to Brett. He's got to pace himself.

I figure he would have been spitting on his mic in his haste to relate everything to Brett.

Welp, Charlie's gonna get fined.

What did he say?

 

[Dr.Funk]

Not a fan of the spring uniform using trucker caps.

I eagerly await when we get the trifecta: a layered Chapman-Brett-Jeter reference in a game not against KC or the Yankees.

"Well you know Chapman is from California, and they just know hot to produce good 3rd basement out there. Chapman came from Lake Forest, California while Brett played his high school ball just to the west of there in El Segundo. Chapman wears #26 and Brett actually started his career wearing #25 for two seasons, so they share that #2 in common and there's another famous #2 who was a great hitter and a hall-of-famer of course, Derek Jeter. And you know, they're all gamers."

"That's right, Buck. They're all baseball players. and that's what you want. Guys who are big and strong and know how to play the game."

"Boy, it sure is, Pat. They're certainly better hitters than we ever were."

*breathy laugh*

What did he say?

He swore during the interview.

 

[Griffin76]

The Bird is the word.

 

[Griffin76]

What did he say?

He said something about a shirt they made at the beginning of last year that said nobody's gonna give a shit.

For early spring training he's pacing himself. He didn't do George Brett but he did Derek Jeter so he quenched his thirst there.

Looks like they worked a bit on posture, his lower back and hips look to be sitting alot more neutral now.

MLBTR;

The Atlanta Braves recently discussed a Craig Kimbrel trade with the White Sox, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, before the Braves signed Kenley Jansen. That one-year, $16MM deal for Jansen is an exact match for the one-year and $16MM remaining on Kimbrel’s contract, which perhaps suggests that Atlanta’s pursuit of Kimbrel is no longer in the cards.

The Blue Jays were recently reported to have checked in on Kenley Jansen. With Jansen now signed to the Braves, perhaps the Jays and any unknown Jansen suitors could now pivot to a Kimbrel deal instead.

White Sox need a CF. Kimbrel for Grichuk?

And Sign Pham or Conforto.

better posture is a nice side benefit from alot of back excersize, which is good since heavier guys tend to get injured backs more than any other type of injury

 

[Leafs1991]

Not necessarily just back exercise. Yes, that can help but if you already have a tilted pelvic floor, just doing back exercise can just make it worse. Deep abdominal exercises, fixing winged scapula, and some back exercies and strengthening the glutes working all together will help fix posture.

1 concern I have is this: George Springer. What's up with him? Getting his work in away from Grapfruit action. Can he stay healthy?

Aparently this is always how he prepares early in ST. Fully healthy.
