I watch the Jays on MLB.tv with an IP address that resolves to Toronto, so you should be OK. Does anyone know if they will black out the playoff games?
-
Any thoughts on who will be starting the Saturday and Sunday games? I plan to go to both... I'm hoping to see Buehrle and Price, but I also heard they may call up Hutch again in time for the weekend. What are the rumors? Nothing yet on the Probably Pitchers page: http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/news/probable_pitchers/index.jsp?c_id=tor

Who has the 2015 Playoff broadcast rights?
BrianV replied to BrianV's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Apparently postseason.tv doesn't use the same camera angles as the broadcast feed, and no play by play or commentary. Seems like a bit of a half-assed version... -
Who has the 2015 Playoff broadcast rights?
BrianV replied to BrianV's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I pulled that from the mlb.tv page. I suppose I could VPN, but I still don't like that they are trying to force me into a satellite subscription. The only reason I use mlb.tv is because I don't have one in the first place... -
Cool, thanks for the feedback. As for why we want the Jersey - why not? We're in Toronto anyways. Standing in line for 30 minutes or an hour isn't a big deal....
-
I assume it's Rogers? I just realized that MLB.tv blacks out the postseason games. Which means, if the Jays make it I won't be able to watch unless I drop the money for a satellite subscription, and that's not going to happen ;(
-
I have tickets to the Aug 30 game against the Tigers where they are giving away the red Jersey. How early do you need to show up typically to get one? We have the time, and we were planning at spending some time around Rogers Center before the game anyway, perhaps catch some BP if they are having it, eat lunch etc... So, we'll aim to be there when the gates open, but presumably there's a lineup before that for the giveaway?

Can anyone recommend some good Jays blogs, sites etc?
BrianV replied to BrianV's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Wow, apparently I'm blind. That 'Blog' link had never, ever registered to me. Thanks! -
Ok, so I am quite new into Blue Jays fandom. It started last August when MLB.tv was on for $12 for September and the postseason, so I impulse grabbed it. I ended up watching about 20 games last fall. This year I'm keeping a closer eye on the Jays, but there is no way I can fit watching all or even most games into my schedule. While this forum is great for what it is, I'm hoping to find a site that provides good wrap ups / summaries of the games. Network sites like ESPN, TSN, etc. give summaries, but they are always a bit cut-and-dry. Any other recommended sites?

Yesterday was another loser for me. I went with JFaS's FGDC lineups that he generated just before first pitch yesterday. Grand total of 31 points on FD which put me just below the cash cutoff. Hoping for better luck today before my account runs dry!
-
Yeah, I feel like JFaS needs to add in a new set of picks to his optimals that has Stanton blacklisted until he starts hitting balls. He's not having a great start offensively.
-
Oh, don't remind me. That was my day to teach, and I spent the day in class rather than setting lineups.
-
I've had him on several lineups now, and I've never gotten *anything* from him.
-
Well, halfway through my innings. Got 10 points on FD from Haren, but very little production from anyone else. I'm using JFaS's FDGC lineups, and things aren't looking very promising.
-
Just noted that. And no ERs yet either. Perhaps we'll see 6 out of him...
-
oooh, haren has 25 pitches in the first two outs, and two on base. It's not looking like a long game for him. His pitch catch is going up way too fast to stretch to 5 innings.
-
How do people feel about the All Day 50/50s vs. the Evening 50/50s? Does anyone have a higher / lower percentage in either? All day naturally gives more variables the optimizer can work with... but also more players who will naturally be streaky one way or the other. Perhaps it balances out, but I'd be curious to see statistics from those of you who have been keeping them.
-
Sorry, no. Unfortunately, I'd rather take on a bunch of randoms then you well-researched folks for now
-
A new day, a new dollar. Friday was a disaster for me, went with some early JFaS projections of a Coors field crew, and ended up with a grand total 17.5 points, losing 20% of my total account value... Here's hoping for a better week this week!
-
I'm not feeling super confident now in the Chase Field lineup. Halfway through the game, and only 13 points so far...
-
There's a guy in one of my pools with Pompey, Bautista, Donaldson and Reyes... He's having a good night.
-
I'm going with the JFaS line in 3 x 50/50s today. All three projections are recommending the same lineups, so win! I'm debating adding my own slightly tweaked lineup, but I've already spent my cap today. Don't want to go more than 30% of my FD account in a given day.
-
Fair enough. Big hitters in Coors field? Yes please....
-
Are we comfortable with McAllister pulling out the W? The moneyline on that game is pretty tight.
-
Any thoughts on starting a new FD thread daily with a templated first post that gives some detail for potential new players? This one is starting to grow a bit long in the tooth, IMO.
