Straight to the chin there
I'm not a blue jays fan or even a baseball fan by any stretch but I gotta admit it's been entertaining so far.

that HR by EE in the wildcard game was lit. total bandwagoner here but I was going nuts
I've been a Blue Jays fan since they joined the major leagues. I've played baseball in my youth and love the game.
On a side note, I've been following the Canucks before they even joined the NHL. The Jays have two championships, while the Vanhoover Cannots have.......... uh..........nuff said.

The funniest part was I was telling everyone the game was over in the Wildcard game with runners on first and third.
My exact words were "watch this. the game is over" and then EE hit that home run.
Unfortunately, I am an O's fan. Loved them since Eddie Murrey, Cal Ripken Jr. That and the Expos with Tim "the Rock" Raines and Dennis "El Presidente, el perfecto" Martinez.

MG1 - what do you think of the Jays' chances this year?
Good, but not great, but man, they're good when firing on all cylinders. Their games are entertaining, for sure. People say they are the most hated team in major league baseball right now. They are cocky, but that's what it takes to win. The rest of the league - they just jelly.
Most impressive thing this year was the amount of Blue Jays supporters at the recent Mariners games. Even one of our very own RS members went.............

I was there too. Game 2 when the Jays won 10-2. Yah, amazing atmosphere. I would say it was 90% Jays fans.

He was caught on camera and turned himself into police, but after quite some time had past. There was a snapshot of him holding a cup. He did claim he was drinking out of a cup. As I suspected, he probably poured the beer into that cup from the can he tossed.
Anyway, he's not a very popular guy, atm.

In the pics and video on field, the can still had quite a bit of beer in it.
At the end of the game, there was another can that was tossed but it didn't clear the fence.
Either way, this guy's name is foo'd and the media is making it a bigger story than it should have been. While I agree with the mischief charge, really, posting his face on national TV?
Funniest part is who he works for. Needless to say, there is a chance he has gotten an ear full from his boss.

This is the most stacked roster they've ever had, but like usual their success will come down to how well their pitching holds up. Good pitching beats good hitting every time.

They have the best starting rotation in the majors. Their achilles heel is the atrocious bullpen. Even Osuna blew like 3 of his last 4 saves in the regular season. They're lucky that they picked up Liriano, so they actually have a legit lefty that can eat up innings. Cecil's control has been so inconsistent all season long, while Aaron Loup decided to turn into a garbage pitcher this season

Exactly, pretty much every starter needs to go at least 7 innings or they're fucked. It's nice when they have a 10 run lead but I'm scared when the games are 2-1 in the later innings, that's where things will get interesting.

I just wanna see our offense continuing to get hits. They struggled in September but so far so good in October.
2-0 right now :D

Well, for starters, I never thought there would be baseball fans on RS, let alone Blue Jays fans.
On a side note, I used to be a huge New Westminster Bruins fan, but nobody here would even know of them. Two time Memorial Cup winners, btw. And one of the toughest hockey teams around.
I felt sorry for the Rangers' fans in game two. A lot closer game and could've gone the other way, easily.

Gonna be tough down the stretch with Liriano getting plunked in the head... such bad luck - bright side being it's only a mild concussion.
Let's go Sanchez..... been throwing phenomenally all year - let's see if he can carry that through to the playoffs

basically being a canucks fan from 2008-2013 would be the same as the rangers from 2010.
young talent hitting the team, good/great regular season records, sucks in the playoffs, makes it to the finals and chokes.

Billy Koch was decent. He was an absolute beast when he was on the top of his game, but his inconsistency and the ability to get mentally rattled was what led to his downfall. His fastball was absolutely amazing to watch when he had it under control. He's only a handful of players that has ever thrown faster than 100 mph (clocked his fastball at 101 mph)

billy koch had a rare disease where he had constant muscle twitching hence why he was erratic and eventually left baseball

Come on sweep!!!!!!!
Intentional walk........... hope it backfires.
I want to see a 15+pitch-at-bat. Tire out the pitcher, lol.
2004 Dodgers vs Cubs record setting 18-pitch-at-bat
EDIT: found this while searching record..............
Another Hall-of-Famer, Richie Ashburn, the great center fielder for the Phillies from 1948-59, and one of the game's best leadoff hitters, once said he fouled off 17 straight pitches in one at-bat before hitting a single. Again, there's no written proof of this that I could find. Unlike that amazing Ashburn story dating back to the '57 season when old Whitey hit a spectator with a foul ball in the stands. The spectator, named Alice Roth, broke her nose and was carted off on a stretcher. As she was being taken away, Whitey hit her again with another foul ball!
11 strikes of 13 pitches......... fast, fastballs in the 99 mph range. Damn. This Bush guy might shut down the Jays. Hopefully, he fizzes out.
Setting up for a double play............. yeah, right. Gonna backfire like the last intentional walk.
YES!!!!!!!

The Jays won and they were suppose to. On paper, these 2 teams aren't even close. The only reason the Rangers had more wins is cuz they play in a much weaker division. Had the Rangers been in the AL East instead of the AL West, the Rangers would've finished in 4th and everybody knew that. The Rangers management team to their skipper to their fans. To prove my point, out of the 8 starting positions in baseball (so all positions minus the pitcher), I would take a Blue Jay over a Ranger in all but one. I would pick Odor over Travis. But Edwin or Moreland? That's an easy one, Martin or Lucroy? Martin of course. Donaldson or Beltre? No contest there. The Rangers never should've been here in the first place, they just benefited from playing in a very weak AL West and the Jays exposed them for who they truly are. An average team.

Really interested to see how the Jays manage the bullpen in the ALCS. It's impossible to ride the same 3 guys every game, especially if the starting pitching gets cold. Hopefully Liriano comes back healthy for Gm2.

What no cups?
No not the down there kind.... the newest method commonly known as cupping.
Not proven to be effective by western medicine, but it's been around for thousands of years - traditional Chinese medicine.
Only a fad, now that the public have seen the results of it on Michael Phelps and other athletes during the recent Olympics. And most recently, Blue Jays pitcher, Roberto Osuna.
I would do it for you, buddy, but I only cup hot women. Gulolol
I know all the "stress" points. :ifyouknow:

pretty sure guys have been cupping their balls for hundreds of years, women cup balls too. youre right its good for stress release

The jays have struggled against good pitching all season long. The bats aren't going to suddenly come alive. The only way we win this series is if Cleveland's rotation and/or bullpen stumbles.

Blue Jays better open up their cheque book if they wanna make the playoffs next season.
That Dickey trade is looking worst each year. Sure he was coming off a CY Young, but he was already 37 at the time.
Syndergaard is a beast and will be for years to come.
The Mets sent Dickey to Toronto along with catcher Josh Thole and minor-league catcher Mike Nickeas, while getting back catcher John Buck, Wuilmer Becerra, and two top prospects: catcher Travis d'Arnaud and Syndergaard.

Flying private plans is always a sketchy venture for the rich.
Know a few people who had considered it and took flying lessons etc but then backed out of buying a plane because they figure you’ve got all this money and life left why risk it.
Couldn’t really be more true for a guy probably worth 100 mill+ and only 40 years old. Apparently an avid aviator though so I give him credit

He has said he wanted to get his full license so that he could become an instructor and someday be the one that teaches his kids how to fly :okay:
