If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I might be wrong, though. Hope TranaGreg logs in on this one.
Having said that, I'm concerned that Donaldson may be out longer than the 10 days. In case you haven't seen highlights of his throws to first he's basically been shot putting the ball across the diamond. As someone who had rotator cuff issues back when I played ball (a couple of years now ; or is that 20?)... anyway, it looks familiar. And in case you are wondering, yes, you can swing a bat with power but not be able to throw a baseball with it (of course it depends on what specifically the injury is - the rotator cuff is three different ligaments and each does different things - but for me anyway, I couldn't rear back and throw which seems to be what Donaldson's problem is).
edit: that's just my own thoughts on Donaldson; I haven't heard anywhere that this is what's going onLast edited by TranaGreg; 04-14-2018, 06:32 AM.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by rotoworldBlue Jays manager John Gibbons said Wednesday that he expects Josh Donaldson (shoulder) to be on the disabled list longer than 10 days.
Donaldson landed on the DL on April 13 -- retroactive to April 11 -- and currently remains shut down from throwing due to inflammation in his right shoulder. Recent tests showed no signs of any structural damage, so he should be back eventually, but the veteran third baseman is still without an official timetable. Yangervis Solarte is currently playing the hot corner for Toronto.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by TranaGreg View Postif Gurriel gets off to a good start it could be an interesting decision when Donaldson is ready to be activated ... Travis still has an option available ... just sayin' ..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostIt's not like Travis has earned any leeway for great service to the organization. I'd send him down in a heartbeat if they think that Gurriel is ready. Hell, I'd play Solarte at 2nd over Travis once Donaldson comes back.I'm just here for the baseball.

One bad start and a second disastrous start later, where do y'all stand on J.A. Happ? Do his fundamentals still suggest that over the course of the long season he'll be a strong/improved performer when compared against prior seasons, or are you afraid that the signs of his fundamental improvement were exaggerated/temporary?
