[havok24]

Playoff baseball is back and we get to watch Kevin Kiermaier rob the Jays of XBH in high leverage situations!

The games will be in Prime Time... South Korean Prime Time... At least they can cheer on Ryu at night.

 

(edit: it will be middle of the night South Korean Time, it will prime time in Europe)

At least most of the Jays. Vladdy won't be affected.

so much positivity around here.....the playoffs are definitely here.

O/U chance all these games start at 1pm?

[Ray]

I didn’t like the idea of this young lineup facing that rotation of Bieber/Plesac/Carrasco without ever facing them before, so I actually prefer the Rays despite their history whooping us in the Trop. We’ve actually played the Rays close all season, so hoping for some good games. Let’s do it.

Jays vs Rays at the Trop. They'll definitely give us the most undesirable slot.

I don't know what to think about it. Snell/Glasnow/Morton doesn't feel like much fun either. I think Cleveland has a greater chance of their bats getting hot, so I probably prefer the Rays also.

Heck, they might put us at 9 am on Wednesday with there being 8 games that day lol.

This series is predictable. We'll lose on walkoff in the bottom of the 9th in game 3. Flame all you want but you all know that's what going to happen.

And probably to someone like Manny Margot or Brett Phillips.

It will be mental and/or physical errors that seal their fate.

[glory]

Canadian team faces team with non existent fan base.

 

Get ready for some really early games.

If Walker has a great start it’ll prob be worth millions in FA

Game 1 (7:00am) and Game 2 (6:00am) for me. I have the luxury of working from home, so a couple of tense, extended breakfast dates coming up!

Wow, those games are actually at a much better time slot than I expected. Clearly must be the worst timeslot for ratings but ill take it lol.

It is the TBS slot. ESPN family had choice on their 7 series first.

[204BJs]

We all expected the worst so this is fine.

[FrozenRopes]

Jays in 2.

[Stangstag]

I'm predicting the ays will win in 3

Go ays!

[Stangstag]

I just hope the young guys win a game and don't get swept. Of course I'd be happier if they won 2.

 

Anything better than 0-2 would be gravy. If they win 1 game, great. If they win 2, it would be a massive upset. I don't think anyone is picking the Jays to win.

Agreed.

 

I consider just making the playoffs a big success for this season. Anything more would be fantastic.

[wilko]

Those hours are ********! The games are on at 3:00 and 2:00PM my time. I'll have to watch them at work ffs.

If nobody is picking the Jays to win then we should all bet our salaries on them because they have a 40% chance to win.

I’d like to know the Jays state-of-mind going into the series before wagering any coin
