Apparently Contreras has been wearing ear plugs since the Dodgers series. Says he wants it quiet and that it helps him concentrate.
Love these little stories.
I know this World Series hasn't been super competitive, but man - I LOVE baseball and I've loved watching the Brew Crew dominate. I've also enjoyed watching TB battle back. I'm so sad that the baseball season could be over tonight - especially with a lockout/strike looming :(

That is amazing.
I love Omar. Huge contributor to this board, but I believe his popularity and reputation points are inflated because of the dancing Blue Jay gif he posts when the Jays win? He gets huge upvotes from that, which I believe pumps his numbers in the system that's used to determine this...I mean everyone loves that gif - it's a board meme, but it's also a gimmick.
I could be wrong and I'm super sorry to have made this accusation if I am.

MLB needs to wake the f*ck up and figure out how to ensure the best umpires work the WS. No more seniority. CB is a joke and lucky to have a job at the ML level.
Imagine this is 1997 and there's no replay?

That's interesting!
No doubt there's a large percentage of the population who are morons, but I do think most of those who attended were rich or were gifted tickets from a corporation.
Obviously there are people who had flex packs or got early access to some face value tickets that were expensive, but not financially crippling. I think a lot of people work hard to land face value tickets just to re-sell them for profit too, which is also gross.
It's not as bad as the Super Bowl yet, but you know it's not the diehard fans at those games. It would be even worse if the Leafs ever make the Stanley Cup finals.
Gotta pull up the boot straps I guess.
It's gross. One of the negatives of capitalism.
I certainly felt this last year. Baseball and the Blue Jays have been a major part of my entire life. My 3 boys all play competitive baseball and follow the Blue Jays religiously. I make good money and live a comfortable life, but I couldn't even remotely consider going to a World Series game last year, while an awful lot of people who did go, make so much money that they didn't even have to think twice about it. It's been trending that way for almost 50 years and will only get worse.
Let's hope we have the resources and the appeal to FA's to make this happen. We have a lot of question marks and who knows if Ownership will continue to spend foolishly.
Everyone in baseball would. That's why it's so laughable.
The only explanation is that Jazz is SUCH a douchebag, that teams would have to get him at a massive discount.
I'd like to know what drugs that Spotrac is on.
Jazz: 4.1, 4.3, 3.5 WAR, entering age 29 season - 2 years $35M
Torres: 1.7, 2.5, 1.0 WAR, entering age 30 season - 3 years $55M
Yeah OK,,,pass the crack
I suspect he's going to get a big bag of money. His velo jumped 2.5 MPH this year (up to 99.1) and the Padres abused him for 86 innings this year. I know everyone is a risk for arm injuries, but he seems like a prime candidate.
Hope it all gets resolved.
I coached against Denis Bailey this year - the GM of the CBL Toronto team. Total d*ck who's almost universally hated by everyone in OBA.
That's fair. I knew when I saw it that it would become a point of contention and a talking point on sports media. I knew someone would comment on it here. I understand that everyone has a line - I was just clarifying that his line was continuous motion :)
I see, so celebrating is allowed, but only if it falls within your definition of acceptable celebration, which includes continuous motion. Got it.
Does the Vlad skip, shuffle, shhhhh celebration after every home run bother you? I know we didn't see it much this year, but some of those shuffles get prettttty slow!
ERA under 2.85 for 6 straight years. When healthy, he's legit. I do think they'll look to move him.
Yandy will also be entering his final year under contract, so I think he's a potential trade candidate too. Hard to believe he's already 34!
