GDT 1/3 | Blue Jays (0-0) vs. Rangers (0-0) | Opening Day

[Grant77]

I found Charlie's post game interview interesting. Asked about Stripling, he says something about his inning was huge, shut them down - but then he says once they tied it, they had to go to their scripted bullpen arms - Merryweather, Cimber, Garcia, Romano.

 

I wouldn't have thought Merryweather would be in any scripted bullpen situation...

 

Perhaps those guys were the game 1 arms, with Mayza, Richards, and Phelps as the game 2 arms? They surely don't want to go back to back with most high leverage guys except maybe Cimber.

So is Romano the only guy who got his own light show? Feels a bit unfair to the other relievers lol

 

He's the only player to get it on the team period, lol. I'm not sure why, maybe they want to make a big spectacle out of the "big name closer" thing the Yankees had with Mariano.

 

I hope he can live up to it. Just based on the intensity of yesterday's game and the crowd though, kid has balls of steel.

BJ Ryan also had a big promo video when he came out, it seems to be a closer thing.

This Jays front office seems better at marketing than Gillick/Beeston/Riccardi/Anthopoulos et al Edited April 9, 2022 by G-Snarls

1000%

 

Stadium is way better now too, just simple things like statues to pose with, a ball pit for the kids, picture stations, brighter paintjob, standing bar/counters behind the 100 level seats. Stuff that many other MLB stadiums have that the dome never had.

 

The amount of giveaways and the variety is pretty nuts this year too.

 

Better beers available. Better social areas.

 

Lots to like.

Yup, back of section 115.

 

A good friend of mine was ushering that section for his first game as usher. Hope he did a good job for you
