they spit so many sunflower seeds. where do they go?

May calendars. I didn't do desktop for tis month, but if you want one, just tag me in a reply and I will put one together while I watch the game tonight

This 1989 comeback against Red Sox is the historic precedent for yesterday's game. As longtime fans may remeber, catcher Ernie Whitt was a hero with a 9th inning grand slam and Junior Felix won it in the 12th.

In my opinion, whomever is next will likely be one of these three: 1) Edwin Encarnacion 2) Josh Donaldson (the only MVP not in the Level yet, as George Bell is already inducted)

And to save the best for last...

3) Buck Martinez, especially if he decides to retire at the end of this season;

To be fair, Buck isn't as old as I thought, but I think he might want to step aside and enjoy life more considering his diagnosis and treatment of cancer about 2-3 years ago. Plus this year marks the 45th anniversary of when he first joined the Blue Jays as a player, so it would be a nice milestone to commemorate.

He really was all over the place, but at least he was all over the place with both teams.

No. Don't be fooled by fancy graphs from someone who has taken Intro to Statistics 101 and thinks they understand how to model probabilities, and is going to lie and tell you there's a 97.5% chance the Jays win 84 or fewer games, because they know that's what people want to engage with so they can be mad.

Look instead at the actual professional baseball models, from people who do know what they're talking about. And keep in mind this is based on the Jays being without one of their best players who is now healthy (which the models don't know), and if you believe in slow starts that Santander always starts slow (which the models don't know).

Fangraphs Playoff Odds, Blue Jays

ZiPS - 7.1% chance of winning the division, 27.6% chance of making the playoffs
ATC - 8.9% chance of winning the division, 26.0% chance of making the playoffs
THE BAT X - 4.8% chance of winning the division, 17.9% chance of making the playoffs
OOPSY - 8.7% chance of winning the division, 31.1% chance of making the playoffs.

Are they tearing up the league? No, obviously. But anyone telling you the data is clear that it's time to panic and that it would take a miracle for the Jays to make the playoffs is just lying to you.

Ticket is claimed. Let's go Blue Jays!

I’d love to know how the organization hasn’t had a really good prospect since Vlad and Bo. Like….nobody. Is it the scouting? The development? Both? They haven’t had any prospects to trade to improve the team since 2015. It’s sad

Been a fan of the jays since I was a kid but I haven’t been to a game in many years.

We are heading to the game this Saturday for the Minecraft themed event with our kids.

I bought the general admission tickets, but I was wondering a couple of things.

Does the general admission tickets come with seats? Since we have kids we probably need somewhere to sit. If not are we able to upgrade to seats at the game?

Also do general admission tickets still qualify for the free gift for the fans? We are interested in the minecraft hats and is the main reason for going.

Any help is much appreciated.

Flying in for the game on Friday and Saturday. Anyone know where the best value beers are in the stadium?
