Blue Jays Discussion: :( well it was a hell of a ride

[tml19]

Based on what I have seen there may be on and off drizzles but nothing that would cause a delay.

 

[Sokil]

My goodness you can't tell from that delivery. It's uncanny that Estrada DOES NOT MOVE in that gif.

even the guy on the left doesn't look up from his ipad for either pitch, uncanny

Weather will not be an issue.

It amazes me how often when they show the crowd, how many people are looking at their phone and not the game.

I take myself as a pretty big baseball fan yet I am looking at my phone in 40% of those panoramic pictures

Too each their own. I see it all the time at Leaf games as well, I don't get it.

 

[theaub]

No I agree with you I don't get how people can go to a playoff game and spend it on their phones either but photographic evidence is not my friend right now

There's always something worse.

I think it's okay in a baseball game since there's pause in play, so one has time to look at his/her phone in between pitches.

I made a rude noise out loud when I just saw that picture...I'm not proud of it.

 

[Daisy Jane]

(sigh). how is it worse? it's not like they...

you know what. never mind. not going to bother with it. but they at least used the attention of what that caused to ask for donations for a good charity in support of domestic abuse, so alls well that ends well.

I've used my phone to text friends between innings, but even that's no more than once or twice over the course of a game. When I went to Game 2 against the Rangers, however, I used it for the first time while an inning was still going on: to bring up Gameday to check a pitch's location.

Can't imagine anything being so important....like I said too each their own.

How is what worse?

 

[Owen Wilson]

All depends on how many pitches he threw prior to the delay.

In all honesty, if they think there is a legitimate chance that the game will begin and then be delayed, they will likely start a reliever and then go to Price. It's simply the most logical thing to do.

This is why I recommended the Jays DL Hawkins before tonight and activate Buerhle...just in case there's some kind of long delay.

You'd lost Hawkins for the WS, but let's be honest, he won't be seeing the rubber again this season. Then when you get to WS, you drop Buerhle for Cecil.

Buerhle isn't ideal...but neither is the situation.

Ask hawkins to fake an injury

Can they do this?

 

[Owen Wilson]

Was he not having elbow issues?

 

[Discoverer]

Can they do this?

Not unless Hawkins actually has an injury.

 

[ACC1224]

Thanks...who was added for Cecil?

 

[Owen Wilson]

Tepera was added for Cecil

Does MLB review the injuries?

I was lucky, when I went my phone was dead

did they fix the reception at the dome though? in years past when i went there was (ironically) zero reception there because of all the concrete so there was no point to phones other than to act as cameras
