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

[Mach85]

Thanks...who was added for Cecil?

Tepera

 

[Discoverer]

Tepera was added for Cecil

Does MLB review the injuries?

I've wondered about that, and I'm really not sure. If they (or Hawkins) are on-record as having said he's been dealing with some elbow problems several games prior to him being removed from the roster, I assume that would be good enough. But I don't know how it actually works.

 

[p.l.f.]

Man if only we got to the series with cecil back and home field to boot
Trying to get buehrle his 200 innings seems so bad

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

Wifi there is pretty solid now for internet, but sending texts is still iffyish when its full

I don't think that game mattered cause KC won their game that day. No?

Correct.

 

[pooleboy]

if there is a delay why not go with stroman (assuming its long enough delay). Then go with Price the next day? (assuming its 1-3 IP)

People make too much of home field advantage anyway. Teams with home field are 2-2 in the playoffs so far. TOR and KC won their series in the DS, meanwhile LAD and STL lost theirs. Both wild card games were also won by the road team. Jays were right by resting guys after clinching the division.

 

[p.l.f.]

Yeah true

 

[Dough72]

worst part is those girls are all texting each other

- "Hi guys! I am at the baseball game! Here is a selfie"
- "OMG you look great! I am at the game two! I am one chair over!"
- "You both look great! I love the pigtails! Here is my selfie from the other row!"

but then it turns a bit ugly because Heather joins the conversation. They are all jealous of Heather because she is prettier

-"Hi guys it's me Heather! This is a selfie at the game...eating a chilidog!"

....

- "Did you guys see Heather's selfie with the chilidog? What a *****!"
- "She always tries to take a better selfie than us!"
- "SHE LOOKS FAT!"
- "I hope that chilidog spills on her shirt!"

after that they spent the rest of the game harassing Heather on facebook

Probably, but one does wonder...KC's team design is perfectly suitable to their vast ball-park, and it hurts the power hitting squadrons such as ours.

Actually it is a great field for a double hitting team like ours

 

[Eyedea]

Does it really hurt the team that hit the most doubles during the regular season? Or uBB'd the most?

The Jays don't hit doublez. Haven't you heard.

Helps us hit doubles, hurts us hitting home runs. Not a great trade. We scored more runs at home during the season, as did KC.

 

[maplehawk]

There's always something worse.

as much as this happens and as annoying as it is, these girls specifically were participating in one of those between innings promos where they ask you to send in selfies.

so let's not harp on this group specifically about not paying attention to the game.

 

[JoeyBeans]

Nerved up for this one boys...

Go Jays!!!

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Helps us hit doubles, hurts us hitting home runs. Not a great trade. We scored more runs at home during the season, as did KC.

The Blue Jays scored 450 runs at home and 441 on the road.

The Royals scored 376 runs at home.

Kauffman has a higher runs scored park factor than the Rogers Centre. Also a higher doubles park factor.

I believe this is where we deem it a fallacy.

 

[Muston Atthews]

We hit more doubles and more homeruns than KC did in the regular season and have more XBH in the post season up until this point.

 

[Muston Atthews]

The Blue Jays scored 450 runs at home and 441 on the road.

The Royals scored 376 runs at home.

That differential though.

How great would it be for Revere to lead off the game with a hit, maybe grab an early lead?

Great but

Let's hope. We're asking for a lot here though unfortunately.

poorly hit ball to first is my guess
