If I'm Babcock I walk in at the tail end of the next Board meeting and ask "So, what'd I miss" while starting directly at Shanahan.

This has put Babs in a bad position though.... the media sees this as a power struggle pissing match and if Babs remains quiet, it will be interpreted as weak.

Has anyone not met the TO media? Gonna happen.

Shanny shouldn't have done it.

why? he'll be called up when Bozak gets moved.

Ahead of today's #bluejays workout I can tell you that Price will pitch game 1, Stroman game 2. Richardey will throw a sim game today.

harrington did go down. So I was right. Jerks.

I've recorded the day I agree with Beatle John. (This one, not Lennon)

thinking is they had to send him till Panik clears or is claimed, then recall him.

which is a stupid rule, cause moving Panik makes room, but until the "transaction" is complete, they had to make room.

I would go with Richardey 2nd (he's better at home, good chance the dome will be closed because it's up to MLB and anything <20C will be seen as 'cold weather'), then go with Stro on short rest in Richardey's place if it goes 5.

What rotation would you go with?

LOL --- if you believe that, great.

If Babs had previous knowledge... then it is a non-issue.

And I am not saying it is an issue... I am saying it is easy cannon-fodder for the worst of Toronto media.

- Deeps27

You honestly think Babcock needs to address the media about this 'issue'?

Well that's too bad, because you know Bernier's mom is going to bring Pepsi and Vachon cakes.

They've been on sale at no frills ~ $2 & 2.50 for a box.

Or we can claim Vey from the canucks too, then bloated and vantel or some nucks fan can say we like grabbing their trash.

Not true.

He is "going down" officially so they can have their roster compliant today. LTIR kicks in tomorrow I believe, and when Robidas goes on it, then Harrington will be back

Just a transactional technicality. Bobby Mac warned about these today

- Beatle_john

this is true, it is also easy for Babcock to make them look like morons for reporting on it.

somebody will bring it up on opening night and Babs will just stare at them like they farted into the mic.

- Beatle_john

Yes, because if Shanny wants to divide the dressing room in a power struggle with Babcock, I'm sure he'd do it by first co-opting Harrington and Boyes.

Vancouver is a heckuva nice city, Beatle John. Maybe it's time you got over your inferiority complex and irrational hatred of Toronto.

It's not our fault your life sucks.

- 1979AD

Yea agree on Richardey at home somewhat but only 5 gamer so need to go 1-1 or I hope 2-0 in 1st 2 games so maybe best 2 starters G1 and 2? Gallardo is 2-0 vs Jays. 0 ERA and Hamels is good too,,,

and a carton of Du'Maurier's

This is day two of Brunomagligate and the only people talking about it is us and 90% of us are saying it's nothing. There's not even any sign of an inflammatory Dave Feschuk article. It's nothing.

...because Panik is still on the roster until midnight tonight...

I get that and I'm sure what the Jays are thinking. Sure, it's better to start 2-0, but either way you need to win 3 games, and in my opinion if you want that to be in the first 3 games, Richardey gives you the best chance of winning in the Rogersdome.

Still feels weird discussing these decisions in Oct.

Well that's good then!

By the way, if I had someone like Shanny in the stands, it would be a waste not to pick his brain.

Why have Harrington and Corrado up? That's 8 dmen they'll have to find ice time for. Makes more sense to let Harrington play big minutes with the Mariles.

Had that been Babcock's response, it really would have been a non-story. Babs needs to get better with the media. His scowl of disapproval at everything is easily misinterpreted.
