    For sure the Braves/Padres and Phillies/Cardinals will be given preference over the AL matchups lol. Earliest time the Seattle series would start would be at 3 or 4PM. Or maybe 6PM or 7PM though I bet they give that to one of the two NL matchups. If the Blue Jays play Tampa, games will start at noon or 1PM for sure. If the Jays play the Mariners, either looking at a 3PM-4PM start time or possibly a 6PM or 9PM timeslot if they want to showcase J-Rod on prime time.

    Yeah they always give the Jays awful timeslots. Even in 2015 and 2016, most home games starts at 1PM or 4PM on a weekday which was awful.

    School just started as well for everyone (elementary, high school, college/university).

    Didn't your favourite President announce the pandemic was over? COVID is likely going to be here to stay. Most new variants will be vaccine resistant anyways though those variants will be a lot weaker than previous strains of the virus. Kudos to you for taking the right approach and not letting COVID stop you from enjoying the things you enjoy like sporting events or concerts or hanging out with friends. The way it should be!

    Also, it's the beginning of Fall season and usually this is the time most people get sick with the change in weather, especially when its damp. Always happens. Even I had a sore throat over the last couple of days. I bet a lot of old folks and longtime Jays fans will still be attending games in the Postseason. Also, the games are still an excuse for a lot of the younger casual fans to go out, have some beers and party.

    Yeah also factor in being a Monday night, school night on top of that and on a cold/rainy evening with the dome closed. Not like a Monday night game in the summer with nice weather and the roof open. Do you still follow the number of Covid cases everyday? I get the feeling most people have moved on. Restaurants, bars, malls and even entertainment venues are still packed. The Weeknd concert over the weekend (no pun intended) was sold out. Maybe certain age groups will be more cautious when it comes to attending large events but majority of people in the 20-40 age range likely will still be attending sporting events or concerts.

    Most concerts and entertainment venues this summer across Canada were all packed. Don't think the fear of Covid plays a huge role at all anymore to be honest. Sure maybe for some people, but it's a small minority. Main reasons are likely crappy weather and a crappy economy like you said.
  8. jaysblue
    They probably heard about it on Twitter or on Sportsnet just last night and I'm sure some will be heading down to the dome tonight and Wednesday.
  9. jaysblue
    Not only their pitching, but some bats in their lineup like Randy Arozarena scare me in a short series.
  10. jaysblue
    Did they have a rain delay last night as well? Could be the reason why the ballpark was completely empty. People left likely and a lot of people don't even bother going down to a game when the weather is crap and that limits the number of walkups especially for a ballpark with no roof. Plus, its the Reds and Pirates we're talking about at the end of September haha. Also, it was Monday Night Football.
  11. jaysblue
    Yeah I was surprised as well. Maybe because it was a Monday night and it was cold and rainy yesterday, which probably limited the amount of walkups. Also, I do think a tough economic crisis plays a role somewhat. Though people will still spend money they don't have, so I don't think it's the main reason why the Jays didn't have 40K fans. Regardless, going down to a game was always expensive when you factor in transit or parking, food, drinks and tickets as well. Two 100 level infield seats are going to be $200 for a pair, dinner $50+ along with beers at the game which will run you almost $15 per can. Best to sometimes watch a game in the comfort of your own home, with your own food and own beer haha. Even myself, would rather save that money to spend on a Postseason game if I had the choice. I think the next 2 games against the Yankees will be 40K plus since the Aaron Judge HR chase is all Sportsnet and sports radio shows talked about yesterday.

    When the Giants won their first World Series in 2010, how much postseason experience did their rotation have? If an injury happens to one of the Jays top two starters, they feel it more than the Mariners if they lose one of their Top 4 guys in the Postseason. Regardless, in a short series anything can happen. Like I said I prefer Gausman and Manoah as a Top 2 but doesn't mean the Jays are a lock for a win every time they step out onto the mound. As well, the Blue Jays have to either start Berrios or Stripling in Game 3 or maybe a Game 4 (if we're talking about a 7 game series) depending on the off-days in the series. So if a team like the Mariners took one game off Gausman or Manoah, I think they have the advantage in that series moving forward. Overall, I do consider the Blue Jays the better team all around to make a deep run in the Postseason. I wouldn't write the Mariners off though in a 3 game series however, or even the Rays.

    Jose Berrios: "Hold my beer!"
  14. jaysblue
    I take the Blue Jays top two, though overall the Mariners have a deeper/stronger rotation #1-4. If Berrios was himself, then it would be a close call.
  15. jaysblue
    Gausman has been so good this year! Kudos to him and kudos to the Blue Jays for signing him last offseason!
  16. jaysblue
    Every inch counts. Damnit!

    Wonder what his odds were to hit a HR? haha
  19. jaysblue
    +200 for Aaron Judge to hit a HR tonight. What you think?
  20. jaysblue
    Gets hit into the bullpen. Doesn't reach the stands.
  21. jaysblue
    Aaron Judge signs in the KBO with the Doosan Bears for 10 years/428997005858.30 Korean Won. I will make my real pick soon.

    I agree having a top heavy pitching staff in the Postseason isn't a bad thing at all in comparison to over the 162 game season. Blue Jays are built well for a short Postseason series against any team, as long as they can roll out Manoah and Gausman to the max (both starting Game 1 and 2 of each series if possible). Though still the Blue Jays will have to use Stripling and Berrios both at some point whether its Game 3 of the Wildcard or in the later rounds. You know the leash will be short on Stripling, so better hope the bullpen can cover 4 or 5 innings. Berrios is that missing piece again. If he was pitching like he did prior to 2022, the Blue Jays rotation would be set!

    I made my keeper selections.

    How does my roster look Jay?

    Bills will kill the Dolphins when they play them in Buffalo. You can bet the house on it! Miami isn't a elite team at all. They might make the Playoffs in the AFC, though they aren't SuperBowl contenders. The comeback win last week and the win against the Bills might give them some momentum but they could have easily lost both of those games and be 1-2 instead of 3-0. Bills were missing a lot of players yes, but they can't make errors and mistakes like they have, even like in the first game against the Rams. In the Playoffs, those mistakes become more magnified. Need to clean some things up still.
