General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[HERPDERP]

Have you guys have sat in row 13 of the 200 level? Just wondering if the overhang cuts off your view at all on fly balls. I've sat row 12 in 100 level outfield and it was horrible for that. I cant imagine it will be that bad because its elevated, but I'm sitting in 229 row 13 for game 4 and 5 so just trying to get an idea if I should try and sell, and pick up better ones on the day of the game

 

I've only been to lvl 200 around the field level side (not the outfield), but your view is unobstructed

Sorry Im not in the outfield, 229 is just inside 3rd base.

yeah you'll be fine.

 

200 level field infield honestly are the best seats you can get for your money

 

Great views, shorter line-ups to concession/bathroom, easier to leave the ballpark

Yeah I've sat there for my flex pack the last 3 years I love them, just never sat in row 13 so I wasnt sure about the overhang. Thanks for the info!

I sat 200 Level baseline row 12 and the view wasn't great tbh. Like you said your under the overhang so seeing flyballs is difficult especially when standing up. Yours might be a little better because you are in the infield though. I was section 236.

I got the Jets tonight so I can handle one more day or I'd be itching to go!

There's reported clubhouse drama?

 

Plus him and Tulo seem to be buds and that's all that really matters to me

 

Jeff Blair, Brunt and Zwelling were talking about yesterday morning on the JB show. That throughout Sept there were lots of rumours and whispers of clubhouse drama/rift and that one player had an issue with another player specifically etc. Who know if true but wouldn't surprise me.

 

But winning fixes everything right?

I was thinking that it seemed weird how Stroman and Sanchez didn't seem to be best buds anymore so maybe something happened between Sanchez and Donaldson. But after they won there were pictures with each other so maybe its all settled like you said if they win no one cares.

Serious question here, do they bring any celebrities to sing during the world series like they do for the super bowl?

Of course. Full Snoop Dog concert during the 7th inning stretch!

[LGBJ29]

There are so many tickets on stubhub where people are taking a loss for Mondays game. f***in ALCS and nobody wants to go?

[HERPDERP]

how much was face value for 500s? $140?

I'll take it as a no

Gotta be less. My 100 OF's are $155.

I think the market will pick up on the weekend, especially if the Jays win a game. Then again if they lose both it will tank like it did last year. I had a hell of a time selling my ALCS tickets last year.

Yeah I remember selling my infield level tickets for a $10 loss. That game ended up being the Dickey implosion game.

I sold my 500's for greater than face but my 113C tickets I was calling everyone I knew trying to sell them for face. This year I bought 100 OF's in hope that I can at least make a little profit if I can't make it. I have tickets for Monday which is the 8 PM game. If I had tickets for games 4 and 5 I'd probably be a little worried.

[LGBJ29]

Same thing with me last year, I sold my ALCS for face last minute after trying everyone. Thankfully Im going to the 4pm Tuesday and Wednesday games because even trying to unload the Monday 8pm tickets have been the biggest hassle. Next time I'm not even going to bother buying ALCS tickets from the team, I'll just wait to buy them on stubhub last minute and save myself some money and heartache

Hopefully it was Luop and Feldman

How are the Dodgers better than the Cubs?

[Olerud363]

How are the Dodgers better than the Cubs?

 

It probably has something to do with how they are estimating

 

a) Kershaw and Hills number of innings pitched in the series

Kershaw and Hills current performance level

 

If the model weights 2016 performance of Kershaw and Hill highly, the Dodgers as currently construcuted are super awesome.

 

If Kershaw and Hill could pitch a high percentage of the Dodgers innings that would be very good for Dodgers.

 

I'm not sure if the models assumptions are realistic, it may be assuming Kershaw and Hill are starting 1-2, 4-5 and 7... when they might not be because they pitched yesterday.

[Grant77]

As I understand it, fangraphs playoff odds are merely an extension of their regular season projections. They would be entirely inaccurate from a historical perspective.
