Price is lefthanded and Junior bats righhanded. Normally, that would be a good matchup. What am I missing?
BTW: Junior now batting .247 and rising.
The Blue Jays 2019 Season
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
BTW: Junior now batting .247 and rising.
Its just that Price is premier pitcher, pretty much a perennial Cy Young candidate. I don't think Jr has faced that calibre pitcher yet, I could be wrong.
Jr showing off his brute strength and gets a nice hug from the physiotherapist. She's got Ema Matthews mojo workin.
Pretty good hustle Jr showed to catch that ball just before it hit the turf. For a 250 lber, he's pretty agile.
He is now the best player on the Jays.
Question: Are there any father and son combination in the MLB HOF?
Two weeks ago, people on this board were calling him a flop. Toronto sports fans are the worst for over reacting. In the raptors thread, after game 1 against the bucks, people were saying the raptors were going to get swept. It's fucking unreal the way Torontonians over react when it comes to sports.
The Griffey's would come close. Junior is in HOF and his dad was borderline HOF
Yeah, I thought Griffey SR was in the HOF (before I looked him up) since he was on The Big Red Machine team where 3 teammates of his are in the HOF-Bench, Morgan and Perez. (IMO-Rose should be in the HOF)
Is Dave Conception in the HOF (no Googleling)? He perfected the "one bounce" throw from SS to 1st base.
This is the first time in history that the sons of 2 HOF'ers will play together on the same team.
Indeed. A couple more to follow later in the season - Bo Bichette and Jordan Groshans.
It would surprise me to see Bichette with the big club in 2019. More likely mid-2020.
Groshans? If he makes it, 2022 (maybe late 2021).
I'm excited to see my paisano Cavan Biggio make his first ML game. Maybe Atkins and Shapiro aren't as dumb as everyone thinks they are. Remember the late 90's Yankees were built on home grown talent.
I just wish Kevin Barker would stop being a "good ol boy" and pronounce his name properly. It's not bitchio, it's BeeGio...as in Giovinco.

I guess that relegates Sogard to the bench for now

Sorry, if I'm beating this issue to death.
Are both Bobby and Brett Hull in the NHL HOF?
