Congrats to the Brew Crew. 44 years since they last attempt to win their 1st ever championship.  I really hope they pull it off.

I had them and Tampa coming into the PS, but I'm leaning for a Guards team in, they're playing way better ball atm as we've discussed and hitting on par with the Brewers, I'd really like to see that now, either way it should make for a good series either way. I'll be rooting for the Brew Crew.

I agree with this.  The possibility of JRam winning the World Series is growing on me and I think Gavin Williams is a beast.

Yeah, JRam getting a ring is about all thats left for me to root for also

[Stangstag]

Typical MLB waiting for an hour after game time to cancel the game lol

Sucks for all the fans there that planned their day around this

giant squeegees trying to move mounds of water off the warning tracks 

at least have proper drainage

[SpencerBateman]

How do these northeastern teams not have roofs.

anyway.
 

 Glad Tampa is winning 

Indians are the sole reason we aren’t in the playoffs, I cannot root for them.

They likely do, just not for storms bro, can't stop mother nature.

Not all that many ball fans on this forum anymore, sad, I guess.

[Spanky__99]

It's legit gone to poop.

[Spanky__99]

@Brock Beauchamp When you fellas switched over you lost a ton of members, case in point a long time member just found it here the other day. You fellas should maybe e-mail the old members of BJMB with a direct link here? Just a thought, ya might've already done it buddy, but the volume is not what you want. Something's a miss.

I'm talking about regulars that contributed in baseball talk, not just GDT horseshit.

We're still here. 😎

If you look on Reddit subs about half of the fans are done watching for the year when their team is out 

in a way it’s much more enjoyable to not be in it.

I already have a constant severe pain in my chest from stress and get panic attacks daily and having to get through 3 playoff series last year was not easy.

We sent out a mass email the day of the launch, explaining the switch to the new domain. If anyone visits bluejaysmessageboard.com, it comes directly here.

One concern is how hard it is to do a name change.  The admin was nowhere to be found when the time came.

I was trying to leave my past behind and move on anonymously but members here have already found out who my old account was.  Which is a big breach of trust honestly.

there was that time you forgot to do the game day thread too

If anyone wants to reach me, just @ me and I will definitely see it. I don't read every thread, so I won't see a casual mention of me in the middle of a thread.

Yeah still here, it was a Saturday night spank and other people have friends/family they might be doing stuff with

[Stangstag]

Kinda glad the game is on at 5 tonight, something to watch during dinner and means i don’t gotta stay up late to watch 

[BTS]

Really looking forward to this one. Messick vs. Rasmussen should be very good

I can't watch late games anymore on a work night. 

Anything that starts at 8 or 8:30PM, whether it's NFL or baseball, I'm out.

Yup. A year from FA. They'll trade him for a haul.

I’m not mad.  

[SpencerBateman]

It just feels off watching poor teams this far into the playoffs 

[BTS]

Messick’s command has completely abandoned him in the playoffs 

[G-Snarls]

Only in 2026 could this Guardians team make it this far into the postseason
