Blue Jays Discussion: Would rather get punched in May than knocked out in October - ALCS bound!

[The Nemesis]

Unbelievable how much crappy seats are going for on Stubhub. Might have to sell two Leaf games to pay for it.

Welcome to the modern ticket market. I wanted tickets for the Raptors exhibition game in Vancouver. They were sold out from ticket master in <5 minutes and immediate resale prices on stubhub were at least $150 for nosebleed seats.

 

[Kurtz]

Keep in mind Stubhub shows their prices in USD and the service charge they tack on at the end is also substantial.

I imagine closer to the game those prices dropped substantially. No one would pay that for Basketball, let alone exhibition Basketball.

I sold my Leaf/Hab tickets pre-season for $18 US each, was happy to get it.

i paid near that for nosebleeds for drake night against Cleveland

and so did a whole bunch of people, so i wouldn't necessarily say people would not pay that for basketball.

Awesome, what's a drake night?

 

[Mitchy]

Sucks, especially for the people out West. 1PM start time?

Can't outdraw those Cubbies.

 

[JS19]

Estrada
Happ
Stroman
Sanchez

was precisely what I expected. I like our chances, especially considering how miserable pitching was in last year's ALCS.

Yeah Raps playoff tickets in the upper bowl were going for $300 US last year against Cleveland.

 

[King Mapes]

Sets up Estrada for game 5, Happ for game 6, and Stroman for game 7 with the option to have Sanchez out of the pen.

I like it.

Yup. I like Stro for a potential game 7 as I've said before with Sanchez an option out of the Pen that game. Love it.

 

[King Mapes]

25.5 hours!!!

They do. Went to Boston and bought tickets off Stubhub to a Red Sox game this season for half the price they wanted the week before.

Well it's the only basketball they get all year.

not sure if serious?

drake night is a night where it is dedicated to the raptors global ambassador (the artist drake) in which you get t-shirts and a bunch of other things as well as getting to see a basketball game.

Sound stupid to be honest.

 

[sabresEH]

Sound stupid to be honest.

Yeah promo nights are stupid. Who wants free stuff?

 

[Loosie]

That inning took 1 hour and 6 minutes. The Cubs are going to destroy whoever they face.

 

[Kurtz]

Wow, this game is nutty. Jansen goes 51 pitches after having a career-high of 32...and now Kershaw comes in in relief on 1 day rest vs Murphy with runners on.

 

[Leaftors]

I chuckled

 

[Mitchy]

Dodgers move on.

 

[Sens Rule]

Best pitcher in the world... I like using him there for the Dodgers.

 

[Kurtz]

Shame he won't be able to do games 1-4-7 against the Cubs. Maybe they'll try to pitch him 2-5 and 7th in relief.

 

[Sens Rule]

He only threw a few pitches. You go with him 1-4-7 starting regardless as the Dodgers.

This is the best pitcher since peak Pedro or Clemens... Heck maybe literally the best pitcher of all time.

 

[D3ADLY]

do you want to know if your a real fan or a bandwagoner?

It's just for fun i was just kidding about bandwagon.

Yeah, if he can do that and look himself, Dodgers definitely have a good shot.

I hope Harold Reynolds doesn't get commentator duties for this upcoming world series.
