They're people guys... with a s*** ton of confidence in sitting you down, or taking you yard... it just how it is?

 

No secret... no matter who it is!

 

Trevor Bauer is a douchebag, to retweet that Canada day s***. Get s*** right people.

 

WAKE UP... that's it.

 

 

 

I GIVE UP!!!

I don't get it

After the Jays lost to the Indians on Canada day, he tweeted that picture and a few USA flag emoji. Then he spent hours replying to angry blue jays fans with crying emoji, fire emoji and "LOLOLOLOL" "dawggggg". Trolling, really.

Bauer is just trolling and having fun. He has said over twitter that the Jays are a good team and he loves playing them because our fans make it fun.

Lol Bauer is funny. Its baseball, stop taking his playful trolling so seriously.

 

It's pretty comical when Toronto fans make fun of the "USA" chants yet they wave their flags everywhere

It's because they ignore the teams chant and just chant USA instead.

Was the game tying home run yesterday fair or foul? Or too hard to tell?

 

Can't be certain but Ramirez and Martin reacted as if it were clearly foul. It looked that way on the replay too but the angle sucked.

You must be a new jays fan, or have short memory or something. What are you talking about? Who won the division last year? We did. Start times?

 

Game 1 - Thursday October 8, 2015 3:37 p.m

Game 2 - Friday October 9, 2015 12:45 p.m

 

As for your other comment -- If we don't advance, Baltimore advance and they're a small market team. So whoever wins the AL WC you have either a Canadian team or a small-market team. No **american** big market teams. So yes it absolutely has to do with the Jays being Canadian. FOH you're telling me if the Yankees won a WC spot they'll play them at 1pm??

 

New fan hahaha!

 

Wah wah wah it's because we are Canadian!

Is it, is it really?

 

Let me help you out here......

 

It is simply because Boston gets better ratings than Texas, us or Baltimore - nothing to do with who are the division winners!

 

If the Jays had been slated to play Boston in the ALDS (by them getting the no.1 seed) this year, we would have been the later games.

 

Last year the games were scheduled at this time and we were the early game again - correct! ... you are saying it is because we are Canadian. You seem to forget that hosting the WC game last year was none other than the Yankees, so they were, surprise surprise, scheduled to be the later of the first 2 ALDS games (if they progressed - which of course they didn't) and our no.2 v no.3 seed matchup with Texas was therefore scheduled at the worst available time.

And you claimed I had the short memory :cool:

 

Once the Yankees were eliminated, why were we scheduled for the later ALDS game in games 3 (prime time sunday night slot) and 4 (Monday at 4.07 when Houston hosted KC with a 1.07 slot) if the US networks, as you originally stated, always shaft the Jays for being Canadian?

 

It is all about the biggest draw and Boston/NY outdo any other AL clubs on that score thus their games (or even potential games) will always be scheduled at the better time for more viewing figures.

 

But by all means, if you prefer, you can keep crying that it is all about the Jays being Canadian!

I think you're agreeing with him...

 

Regardless there is a massive TV draw with the Jays, one of the biggest in baseball but the majority of the audience is watching it on Sportsnet therefore I think TBS and/or fox, ESPN whoever gets no money for commercial time just the broadcast fee. We have the ratings but they can't cash in on it so no point in playing us on prime time.

I disagree, he thinks we get shafted because we are Canadian and that's not the case, if it were, we wouldn't have had the better scheduled times in game 3 & 4 of the ALDS last year.

 

I think everyone understands that the Jays have little or no pull for the US broadcasters, but playoff games are playoff games and unless our game clashes with huge market team's game then it doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

The key is the Yankees and Boston will get preferential playoff scheduling over any other AL team. This scenario has played out the last 2 years in the first phase of playoff scheduling.

You're actually right, I'm sorry I read it wrong when I woke up in bed and didn't digest it right. Once the Yankees were done we did get the better time slots.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that the FAN590 is airing hockey f***ing central on Wild Card day. I really hate how much this country likes hockey sometimes.

If we lose today I want a f***ing reset

 

Stretch both Osuna and Biagini out

 

f*** 2017 let's see if we can have an elite rotation for 2018

 

What are you talking about our rotation is elite. And with the future trades/drafting we'll do under Shatkins by the time Happ and Estrada walk we have their replacements.

 

Although I agree with you on Biagini, we need to sign/trade for 4-5 relievers and make him a starter, 2017 rn looks like

 

Osuna

Grilli

Benoit

Loup

Barnes

Feldman

Dermondy?
