    Yeah my guess is you have an assigned seat at one of the bar rails and could walk around the area. Kind of like a closed bar/area for 50-60 people. Only way for a ticket to cost $205.

    In terms of sporting events in Canada or just the GTA, the Blue Jays ticket prices are still very fair, affordable and less expensive in comparison to teams like the Leafs and Raptors or heck even a concert. What will set you back is the cost at the concession stands, which are crazy expensive. That's at every venue - Rogers Centre, BMO Field, Scotia Arena, movie theatres etc. Not sure the Jays are the best deal in the MLB but overall baseball isn't crazy expensive like the NFL down in the US or hockey up here. As well with 81 home games, not every game will be a huge sellout so you can even snap up some good seats below cost like during a weeknight in April/May. Also, depends on the opponent, date of game, giveaway, weather etc., that factor into ticket demand.

    I guess they're trying to make that Mezzanine seating area next to the bullpen like a Green Monster area in terms of ticket prices. As long as you have a guaranteed seat like a bar chair and that area is closed off to everyone else in the ballpark, I guess it's a cool and different experience. If it's just standing room only, not a fan.

    Also seems on the arrogant side as well. But yeah definitely very thin skinned and overly sensitive. Kind of a turn off for me.

    If Playoffs started today, would be against Tampa?

    As much as I like Manoah, he seems like the next Stroman in terms of personality.

    Better hope Leafs don't meet the Bruins in the first round.

    Those are some big arms you traded all in one offseason. I still think you'll benefit with Arenado in our deal we did.
  9. jaysblue
    Yeah in hindsight that trade looks real bad. Jason Frasor had some good seasons out of the pen in Toronto, but Jayson Werth definitely provided more value from 2007-2010 with the Phillies. Dodgers got rid of Werth after 2005 and Werth missed all of 2006. Jays also had Wells and Rios in their OF along with Cat/Johnson in 2006 so who knows if Werth was going to stay around that long and get an opportunity in 2007 with the Jays.

    Those rumours will be out there for sure next season. What about his TV contract? If he starts in the booth next season, would he be allowed to lets say sign late season for Week 10 etc. with a team?
  11. jaysblue
    Yeah it's like making a trade deadline deal but a couple of months earlier and it's only costing money. Plus the Jays can monitor his recovery during this time as well.
  12. jaysblue
    Cut my prospects to open up slots and main roster is legal. No non-red flag players on IL. Did same for BORED as well.

    Yeah sad day for the NFL. As a fan of Tom Brady, wish he could have played forever but we knew this day was going to come. He still played very well this season but yeah sad he couldn't go out on top. Thought he could have easily played for another 2-3 seasons but in the end he accomplished everything a starting QB would want to accomplish during their careers. Don't think we'll see a better QB in our lifetime.
  14. jaysblue
    So we need to make room on our minor league roster for the picks? As for main roster, it has to be legal correct?
  15. jaysblue
    Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw make it on the first ballot. Greinke it will take a couple of years but I think he'll get in.
  16. jaysblue
    Yeah Halladay is the better arm, no denying that. Had a more dominant career and more dominant years than Greinke. Also, Doc pitched in the AL East majority of his peak and then in the NL East, whereas Greinke pitched in the AL Central, NL Central and then NL West. Pitched in some favorable pitching parks during his peak.
  17. jaysblue
    Great signing. Definitely worth the risk IMO. Green is one of the elite pen arms in the game when healthy.

    San Francisco could be in the market now for either Brady with Purdy requiring surgery after a torn UCL in his elbow. Might not be a bad idea to offer Brady a one-year contract and have Lance/Purdy rest up another year and learn under Brady.
  19. jaysblue
    Inglett in 2008. Scutaro had a real solid year for the Jays in 2009.
  20. jaysblue
    Yeah I never looked at baseball through a business lens as I did later on. In 1998, was a young fan and probably was like that until 2008. Heck even when Frank Catalanotto wasn't brought back after 2006, was kind of sad.
  21. jaysblue
    I think just those three arms you mentioned. Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw likely will retire around the same time. For position players, Pujols and Molina retired last season. Miguel Cabrera after 2023 and Joey Votto possibly can retire after this season or next.
  22. jaysblue
    Pretty much on par with Doc in terms of a comparable. Doc had more dominant seasons where he was the best in baseball, though Greinke was still one of the elite arms in the game and had longevity. Completely forgot about his gold gloves as well.
  23. jaysblue
    Do you think he's a first ballot Hall of Famer?
  24. jaysblue
    Greinke didn't get the hype like Verlander, Kershaw and Scherzer, though he definitely was one of the top elite starters during the last decade when you look at the numbers. He had a really solid career when all is said and done which I think is HOF worthy.
  25. jaysblue
    Greinke was definitely a model of consistency. His 2009 season is probably his only standout/special season (8.7 WAR), though otherwise he was a consistent 4-5 WAR pitcher every season, pitching over 200 innings with solid ratios. For most of his career, he stayed healthy as well. Career 65.5 WAR and he's close to 3000K's. Likely needs to pitch two more seasons to reach the 3000K milestone unless he strikes out 120 this upcoming season. I think he should be HOF worthy. Not a first ballot but he should make his way on at some point.
