Do some research before making yourself look like an idiot.

 

I wouldn't hold your breath.

I don’t feel ashamed at all. Having a good day. I’m in the mood for a milkshake at some point. What was I supposed to feel like an idiot about again? I forget

For showing ignorance

I just got a little “black person rich” to say it proper. Laid out $4k for 2 seats to UFC 307 in Salt Lake. Well, $1500 tickets and then service charge, taxes, and fees.

 

What would good 100 level seats (within say 10 rows) to Jays World Series run?

[connorp]

Pretty crazy Eloy Jimenez is now a 10hr guy. 70/80 power to 10hr power.

Probably the most disappointing fantasy asset, all things considered, I can remember having

Seattle Mariners last 4 games:

 

15-1 Loss

3-2 Loss

2-1 Loss

5-3 Loss

 

7 total runs scored.

 

Boy did Jerry Dipoto ever go HAM at the trade deadline or what? Atkins should take notes, THIS is how you make moves to make sure that you're not wasting your elite pitching. I'm really at a loss for words at just how much Dipoto managed to shore up that offense.

 

Key deadline acquisition Justin Turner struck out for the final out with the game on the line to end tonight's game against the mighty Pittsburgh Pirates. Turner is hitting below 100 wRC+ since the trade.

 

The stupendous Mariners led by Jerry "Boss" Dipoto are now down to 28% odds of making the playoffs (per Fangraphs), after sitting at 50%+ odds heading into the trade deadline. Just an absolute masterclass display of team-improvement.

They sent the Jays home in a sweep and raped the Toronto Front Office of their confidence and vision. It set off a tailspin of incompetence of who knows what proportion. Seattle is playing meaningful games, the Jays are on an extended vacation in Iceland trying to find themselves in nature with AAAA scrubs. Maybe laugh a little less

[hanton]

Adell tried to round 1st on a hot shot grounder to 3B thinking he had a double down the line lol He was thrown out. I don't think I've ever seen that before

Seattle continues to be the place where hitters go to die, no matter who they add. The new guys sometimes hit for a while, but then they crater. They lead the league in strikeouts yet again (by a substantial margin) and even guys like J-Rod are getting progressively worse every year.

Mariners rotation is probably the best in baseball. Definitely a waste.

 

J-Rod has been awful this year, what's up with him?

 

I liked the Arozarena addition at the deadline, but they could have done more maybe by adding another big bat. Turner wasn't going to change things or make a difference.

 

As well, the AL West this year was wide open. Astros struggled heavily early on, Rangers have a World Series hangover, while the Angels and A's suck. Can't believe they couldn't take advantage of that.

[Spanky__99]

Oh neat, the Tigers called up Jung as well, interesting.

I was watching some of the early part of the game last night.

 

What are your thoughts on their Motor City Connect Jerseys?

Garbage.

[jaysblue]

Garbage.

 

lol

 

I gotta say out of all the City Connect jerseys, I think the Blue Jays one is one of the best.

[connorp]

 

As it’s sports related, I guess I was just in amazement of what a racket sports ticket trading is. Or on the flip side, a brilliant idea when people got on the ground floor. Typically I only go to baseball games. $100-150 usually gets me great seats at most stadiums. Basketball obviously a bit more and I’ve laid out. Don’t feel the fees quote as hard but $1000 for a couple $1500 tickets is some bs

[John_Havok]

lol

I dig the Diamondbacks one, but just because of the name. The style is pretty basic

Park is really extreme. Their hitting is bad, pitching is good, but not as extreme as it looks from the raw stats. Park factor is like 88 this year. Which is really low. Worst hitters park in baseball by far this year.

Diamondbacks have handled his injury so poorly. f***ing idiots

Going to be an issue for the Yankees in the Postseason.

So its become the new Petco Park?

Could the fact the M's hitters have been ass have anything to do with it?

That's not how park factors work.
