Dude knew how to utilize the whole field for hitting. I remember watching him hit 2 grand slams in one season in person. He didn't hit many home runs...maybe that's why I randomly remember that.bullard21k said:

LFG boys!
IN!
I'll never forget hearing Tony on the radio post-game one time when they asked him about catching Randy Johnson and he said, "He's so intimidating because he's so tall, man. He's like 6'6 or 6'7."Beerosch said:Dude knew how to utilize the whole field for hitting. I remember watching him hit 2 grand slams in one season in person.

I'm not sure what was funnier, that it was such a well-known fact that Randy Johnson was 6-10 and Tony had no idea.
Or the fact that Tony himself was 6-4,and somehow thought Randy Johnson was only 2-3 inches taller.

Man all of the "experts" are super high on the blue jays this year. Are they seriously that good? Outside of Vlad jr and Springer idk anyone else on their roster

Offense is strong with Bichette, Vladdy, Gurriel, Teoscar, Biggio and Springer. Pitching is better than average. Bullpen is ok.
They were right in the thick of it last year with TB and NY.
Lineup with Vlad, Springer, Bichette, Biggio, Teoscar, and adding Chapman. And yeah forgot about Gurriel.
Plus their rotation of Berries, Gausman, Ryu, and Kikuchi plus a 5th is pretty stout.
On paper they're stacked. Can they put together on the field and compete with the boys? We'll see but there's a ton to be optimistic about when it comes to the 2022 Blue Jays.

They were very good last year but ran into the **** luck (opposite of SEA). They probably should have won another 8 games. They were 5th in baseball in RD.Ag_07 said:

I don't like giving Jomboy eyeballs but this preview is decent. They struggle to give us credit without giving too much. You can tell it hurts. The non Yankee homer loves us.
I like Plouffe's quote about how the Astros don't even have a window anymore. They're a total open-air concept with the breeze always flowing through.
James Click on Lance McCullers Jr:βLance is feeling really good.He's been going thru treatments for that elbow injury.He's scheduled to start throwing a baseball n a few days.We'll see how that ramp up goes..It's the 1st step-Not having any sensation n the elbow is the 1st thingβ pic.twitter.com/Ku2gwrdZCq

Someone was asking about where LMJ is at in his recovery earlier. Looks like he starts throwing later this week
He might be ready in about 8-10 weeks?
I considered stealing it and just using it on here. But the video was worth sharing. The internal struggle was classic.
Let's go
Late but in!

I have spoken to Maz, the overlords issued him a perma, but he has given Nguyen his blessing and is glad to see he got the thread started
And he addsβ¦.

Maz I saw these gals out on the road today. They asked about you. I told them to pray mightily.
They just have to add every jab possible. WTF is he smoking saying we cheated in all of 18 and some of 19. And Jake just wants to stay down on us so much. Its actually really entertaining to hear. Id be interested to see what they unicorn farts and rainbows take is for the yankeesFarmer1906 said:

Can we just all read the Yankees memo and shut these mouth breathing chodes up?
Source: Ryan Pressly's contract extension with the Astros will pay him $14 million in 2023 and 2024. The option in 2025 has a $2 million buyout, so the extension is worth $30 million guaranteed.

Ryan Pressly's $14 million option for 2025 will vest if he appears in 50 games in both 2023 and 2024.

Scoop'd!
I'm really happy about this extension. Shows their confidence in him moving forward.

Quality start to the thread
Missed this all day
Ryan Pressly since joining the Astros at the trade deadline in 2018:
— Astros Stats (@astro_numbers) April 6, 2022
- 162 2/3 IP
- 636 total batters faced
- 33.6% K
- 5.5% BB
- 2.21 ERA
- 2.28 FIP
Yes, reliever performance is generally volatile, but this is an extension you take every single time.
Let's. Do. This.
You know Matt Chapman.All I do is Nguyen said:

So much red.
Over the last 4 seasons Pressly only trails Liam Hendricks & Josh Hader in WAR for relievers.
He's pitched in 31 postseason games. In 25 he gave up zero runs. In 16 he gave up zero hits.
Over the last couple of years his velo was slightly ticking down until 2021 when it spiked back up. Hopefully that means he'll age well.
