Well, one more year with an option. I’d rather they spend that money on Brantley tbch since the entire outfield is leaving next year.

Still, first base is locked in now. With Kyle Tucker playing very well this year they probably figure that LF is locked in long term. I think Springer will be the priority in the offseason, unless they think Tucker can play right field.

The fact that there were still blackouts this year when in-market fans couldn't even attend the loving games was asinine. gently caress MLB, gently caress broadcasting companies.

I don’t think so. You used to be able to watch the Jays anywhere in Canada with no blackout, but that changed this year because Sportsnet wanted people to buy their streaming service I guess.

No. Up until this year Sportsnet didn't exercise their right to blackout Jays games. This year they did.

Jay Johnstone died of Corona.

I'm just old enough to kinda sorta remember him as a player, but definitely old enough to know that Jay Johnstone had a kick rear end 1984 Fleer card.

specifically he did the "slanted eyes" gesture after hitting a home run off of Darvish

and he got to serve his suspension the following year while injured anyway

great sport, well run all around

I donated to a Cleveland Indians charity drive and they sent me a mystery autographed baseball. I was prepared for someone from B string pile like Yu Chang or Adam Plutko but it ended up being Jose Ramirez. It will soften whatever happens this week.

The Blue Jays, to their credit, looked pretty legit today. They pitched well enough, and the offence looked threatening at times. Pity for them that Tampa (or at least Tampa’s pitching) looks just that much better.

As far as I can tell, there’s no way for someone in America to get the Sportsnet Streaming? I’d happily pay them for the post season if they’d take my money.
