The 2016 Toronto Blue Jays Thread

Jose is up. Again. Seems like an hour ago he got that little blooper to get things going.

Some teams are starting to get into single seat lotteries. I've not seen the details yet on that for the Jays.
What specific component are you twisted up about?

No problem with that. I have a problem with that it looks like individual tickets are going on sale tommorow for the post season. Seems a bit like a cash grab and will make the secondary market ridiculous.

They do change rulings as the game goes on so I'd be surprised if at least one of those plays isn't ruled an error in the end. That would make both those runs unearned.

Yeah, hate to be negative but that was terrible base running. He didn't even run that hard and was watching the ball. There was no reason not to keep running and then the ball went home and he stayed at first.

I bet Travis is the happy guy in the park. Now I really wish I went. I've been going there for years and have never got to see a game like this. The party always got downed by the Mariners winning.

so it was YOU! It was your fault!

This inning would be getting some serious revenue for the Mariners. I think the beers were 12 bucks there and the longer the game last the more they can sell to thirsty Jays fans.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Finally inning over. Beautiful stuff.

Feels like it. The ultimate test will be tommorow with Hernandez . I can't remember the last time I went there and he didn't seem to roll the Jays. So boring to watch. If they crush him tommorow, I just stop going permanently.

I rarely get obliterated anymore.
But at a ball game.
Dear lord. The beer flows.

I had forgotten that Ianneta missed that ball. Sucks to be him.

[browna]

No messing around Happ, just keep throwing them like that.

[schooner]

I will just iterate what others have been saying, probably been down to Seattle to see the Jays for 4 or 5 years, if you have a chance to go, just do it. Such an awesome experience. Not able to go this year, but my parents (who my Bro and I converted into baseball fans) are down there, and they are just loving it.

When I went to Denver for the Jays series, they had a bar across the street from Coors Field that had all you could drink Coors draft for $12 bucks for 2 hours before the game (every Rockies home game). We kept telling the bartender that they could make it 50 bucks in Calgary and they still couldn't do that because people would be tearing up the Saddledome piece by piece after that much beer.

Too bad they don't play in Denver every year.

Caught the Jays in old Tiger stadium once - back in the WAMCO days.

First inning, White starts it off with a homer. Alomar steps up and puts it in the seats. Carter comes up and the pitcher beans him in the head. Bench clearing brawl ensues. First half inning takes 45 minutes.

No idea what happened after that.

[activeStick]

So much more fun when we see innings like the 4th for the Jays!

[Karl]

Troy, take it easy. That was a strike.

[TheAlpineOracle]

Afternoon game tomorrow . That seems weird. The local bars must be stoked about that. They'll be jammed all night.

[calgaryblood]

Jays have no right to look at the ump. Happ has been getting balls called as strikes all game.
