Scoreboard Watching Thread 2014

Extras in Seattle. You can imagine the Angels are liking this.. they'd love to see the Mariners pen worn, so that the Angels can run up their win total on their way to 100 wins, which is where they're headed.

 

I bet you they don't care.

I don't mind Detroit winning and taking out the Indians. I still see the Tigers winning that division. Beating the Indians and Royals will help the Jays.

 

The harder team to choose who to root for is between Oakland and Seattle. We face Seattle four times, so logically, we should hope Oakland wins the 1st WC and leaves the 2nd WC open for Seattle/Toronto/KC/Cleveland. The only way the Jays can make up ground is if Seattle is the team to catch, since they can control their own destiny next week (assuming they don't s*** the bed in Baltimore and New York before then).

 

Exactly. At this point I think we're better off with Detroit beating the others back and running away with the division rather than run neck and neck.

6.1% chance of post season according to Fangraphs

 

Gotta win a few more games right away

Amen to that

[G-Snarls]

How was the crowd yesterday??

[G-Snarls]

Looks like it was 31,368? That's disappointing if true.

It's almost like people don't want to come out for a make believe contender.

Hey now! 6% is better then 0%.

 

Plus....the casuals should be eating up the fact that we're "only" 4 games back. Yeah, we're not going to make the playoffs, but i would bet a lot of casual fans still think we have a good chance. Plus....it's still fun for me.

Interesting tidbit

 

If I try to type "Chappy" in a post on my phone it autocorrects to "cheaply"

My thoughts exactly. I was expecting bigger walk up crowds this weekend due to the buzz, a bit "false" though it may be.

[G-Snarls]

Indians 2.1%

 

Yankees 1.1%

Your phone seems to be a dum dum.

I think the Jays epic collapse from a comfortable divisional lead back to mediocrity left a sour taste for most casuals.

Might see big crowds for the final home stand if they are within 2 games.

The Rays never seem to draw very well, so I don't think it's a surprise. I agree that it's a bit disappointing though.

[burlingtonbandit]

Apparently the ratings on TV are through the roof. Almost 900k for the game against the Cubs Wednesday. I think the fact that it isn't summer anymore has hurt the attendance.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

It was sunny outside and the roof was closed against a non-draw.

 

Pretty clear why it was a small crowd.

[Orgfiller]

The Rays never get a big attendance, it's like a curse.

Bad news: The Jays are about to lose..

 

Good news: Boston leads KC 8-4, so we'll stay 3.5 out(including the assumed loss). And of course, we still have the Mariners/A's game.

we are 4 out, and at some point that runs out. Worst part is we dont even play KC, we play Seattle. If they were somehow leading us, that would be preferable.

We're 3.5 out because KC will lose that game vs. Cleveland when they finish that inning. And KC has Detroit and Cleveland left, and it's anybody's guess on the White Sox series.

[jaysfan2014]

Some things to consider whether the Royals will make it:

 

-Not hitting (.233/.277/.332) in September

-Can't beat the Tigers, Indians or Red Sox

-Facing Chris Sale in the White Sox series (both of them), and Quintana in the season finale series.

[jaysfan2014]

Royals lose! Potentially crushing blow to their playoff hopes losing 3/4 to Boston, especially with their struggles with the Tigers and Indians this season. The White Sox series may be their only hope.

Last week v chicago...the crowd really helped us take the lead with Joey bats bases clearing double.

thats the kind of fan support that would really help the team right now,that was fun to watch,and HEAR!

[comeon sense]

Seattle looks like they will lose today ,so now is the time for streaking.....starting in baltimore. Edited September 14, 2014 by comeon sense

[jaysfan2014]

Mariners lose. Now it's time for the Jays to streak.. please beat Baltimore!

[G-Snarls]

So everything went right in these other games, great

 

We should have gained a game by winning ourselves but we didn't
