It would be sad if Bogaerts went down with an injury. The kid has been on fire lately.

Day to day. Results were negative.

Castillo is not predisposed to injuries hes just aggressive, that’s like saying my dog isn’t violent he is just misunderstood so he bites you.
alex navarrette
Kind of, except in Castillo’s case you take the good with the bad if his aggressive play leads to good things for you. In your dog’s case…

Well, we didn’t see one ball hit hard along the new RC turf from either team last night. It will be interesting to see what the turf does to such balls. I can say all that material it kicks up on bouncers is pretty ugly to look at.
Tyler Young
It looks a lot better though… And softer so less complaints on injuries… People are going to complain either way. The turf will settle down and compact, it won’t be as soft for long.
Tanthalas
Yeah, I know a lot of Jays fans will complain if it’s slow and there’s less offense, but I would rather it be easier for the players to play on. It’s fair for both teams either way.
Tyler Young
And plus its your home park. Make it your advantage. If you know the ground is soft easy for groundballs, get a slew of groundball pitchers.. Use the advantages that the park gives you. But yea, as long as its not changing every half inning and no players are complaining of pain or getting injured, I could care less.

I think that ground up car tire material is for sliding and stuff. I think if you were to slide on turf without that rubber it would burn your pant legs off. I’m not totally sure about that though.

Artificial turf just needs to go away….
DAKINS
It is, just not until 2018.

Maybe if the Jays tried playing REAL baseball on REAL grass, they wouldn’t have this problem. Their stadium is worse than any place in baseball outside Tampa.
Rheinfan
I agree that it would be better on real grass…and that day will come…but I personally really like the stadium and its location in the city… I find it a great place to catch a game.
DAKINS
Which is why the Jays are spending lots of money to get grass in the Dome in 2018.

My guess is they need to check Rusney’s diet and overall health. It has been documented that players from Cuba seem to be suffering from vitamin deficiency and conditioning. Baseball will take care of the conditioning, but they need to ensure they guys are not short on essential vitamins for bone health and the like.
