I never understood how this works. If I have a ticket for Seat A for tonight's game and you have a ticket for Seat A for tomorrow's game. What happens when we both show up tomorrow?

The Jays announced that those who had tickets for tomorrow night's game will get a 2 for 1 basically, and can use their ticket for both games.

Those who had tickets for tonight will be offered an exchange for another game.

It does. But they've listed tomorrow's first game as an option to exchange. This ensures at least duplicate tickets aren't issued as they can make sure the assigned seats are different (can't imagine the crowd will be large for tomorrow Afternoon so should be an easy task to manage)

Jays called up Biagini to start one of the games tomorrow. Teams get to add a 26th man to the roster for double headers so this is a smart move rather than use Happ, and then have to use Biagini or a bullpen combo against the Yankees.

Listen to one on the radio this afternoon at work, and then watch the second one on TV when you get home from work. Simple really.

You can probably also expect a couple of optional assignments to get some fresh bullpen arms after.

Before this year I never knew that if the ball hits the outfield fence a catch doesn't count as an out, even if caught prior to hitting the ground. Now I've seen it twice this year. Seems like a bit of an odd rule though - why should hitting the fence matter if caught before it hits the ground?

Ol cement legs Smoak going for third probably wasn't the best call! Still 5-3 Jays.

Because the fence is part of the field of play. Just think of it as the ground, but vertical.

Because rules wise the fence is the same as the ground.
