How about all the people who were throwing beers on the field last October during Game 5? Almost hit some people in the 100 level (including a mother with her baby) and even almost hit some players and staff on the field. Why weren't they fined or why wasn't a manhunt conducted on them?

I don't think this should have been getting all the media attention that it has got. Ken Pagan acted like an idiot and I agree should be charged and fined with what he did, though you shouldn't put his name and face all over social media when the police already knew who it was.

Andrew Miller probably pitches in every game this series.

I'm a big fan of both pitchers, though I'd lean more towards Bumgarner and the Giants.

FYI, you can scan your tickets off your phone if you bought the originals off Ticketmaster during the general sale. Just make sure to download it into your passbook (iPhone users), so it appears in your passbook/wallet to scan.

If you can get outfield seats in the 200 level or 100 level for $150-$160, take them. You can probably get infield seats at around $200 USD or a bit more, though when fee's and conversion rate are all in, you're looking at $550 CAD or more.

You can get pairs in the 500 level for around $110 USD, though I'm sure people would rather spend an extra couple of bucks for the better seats. Inventory right now is pretty limited, and you probably saw a $20-30 bump over the last hour since they just announced the roof will be open, so it'll be a nice night. Some prices are ridiculous and I doubt anyone pays them. Still glad I sold my pair, since I don't have to worry/stress out about selling them before game time.

Yeah some for $185 ish if you want to sit in like Row 36 or 37 in the infield, though considering what other tickets are listed for, those are probably the best value.

Most outfield seat prices have came down since Sunday night. I priced mine at $140 USD each in Sec 243, and they sold that night. They aren't selling for that much higher, and with people putting up insane prices to begin with, I guess they won't sell their tickets.

I even find sometimes its not the best thing to wait right until the last minute since selection likely won't be as good, and you'll be sitting in front of a computer or on the app for like an hour or two before the game. Plus if you get you're ticket late, you have to print it off somewhere and likely will miss the first or second innings. For regular season games, I don't mind, though if you're picky on where you want to sit, you're probably better off buying the night before or morning of if it's a fair price.

Sold my pair in Sec 243 for $140 USD each on StubHub last night. Face value the tickets were around $90 CAD each I believe, so basically paid for my single ticket tomorrow.

I hope Gibby just didn't pick Stroman because he's been here longer and pitched well in last years postseason. Who cares about hurting someones feelings at this stage, especially when its a win-or-go-home scenario?

Confused by this decision to be honest. You have to win this game at all costs. Liriano gives you a better chance at shutting down the O's lineup over 5-6 innings.

And he landed a new $45 million extension.

Where is Liriano?

From watching Aaron Sanchez pitch today:

And with a 3PM start, you think he would have been fully recovered by now haha.

Liriano is the type of pitcher that could really dominate over 5-6 innings and he's pitched in big games before with the Pirates (wildcard game in 2013 and won: 7IP, 1ER, 5K's), so I wouldn't be that opposed to him starting in the wildcard game. Just have to have a real short leash with him if you think he's close to imploding, so Stroman backing him up wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm watching the documentary on the Titanic conspiracy on YouTube. Pretty interesting.

If they miss the postseason, there is no way Gibbons is back in 2017 (even if this collapse isn't entirely his fault). Its just how things work in sports. Someone takes the blame.

Every major sports team usually does dynamic pricing, so not sure why this is an issue. I have Raptors season tickets, and games against the Cavs or Warriors for my upper bowl seats are close to $150-$170 each face value, where some weeknight or Sunday night games against the 76ers etc. are only $50-60 each. The average cost of every game for me though works out to be $56.667 per seat per game, so as long as I sell tickets for more than that price, I'm coming out ahead. As for baseball, there are so many games that I can't justify getting season tickets for an entire year, unless you go in with like 3 or 4 people. Unless you want to be a scalper from April-October, season tickets just for one person is a lot of games to try and sell. And unless you sell the premium games like the Home Opener, Canada Day game, weekend games on Saturday/Sunday vs. good teams, then there is a small chance you make money or break even. And from my friends with season tickets, I offered to buy like 5-10 games this year from them, though they only offered me crummy weeknight games against the Rays, Royals, Twins in April, May & June ,etc. when I could buy those games from the secondary market likely cheaper then face value, so whats the point?

He's still an interesting player, though it's not like his trade value is that sky high. In a league that counts .OBP as a scoring category especially. If this was another league that didn't count .OBP or a salary league, then Perez is far more valuable.

We can start making trades in this league now?
