THAT is awesome. 5$ a game!?!?

Fill the stadium and create buzz. A few concessions. Some will come back in May. Sunk team costs don't change.

Way better than the usual empty seats up there!

Ew upper bowl, ew. Lower bowl or GTFO. Stil super cheaper then Raptors lower bowl tickets I am going to the 76ers game tomorrow lowerbowl cost me $268 + $23 service fee $291 so $582 for the pair. Checking out Texas Rangers lower bowl for the Jays for this Saturdays day behind the Jays dugout ONLY $77! Yankees tickets I can't remember the month/day I looked up ONLY $124 dollars(lower bowl behind Jays dugout). So much cheaper. Lower bowl Raptors 1st round home game tickets were like...$337 I *think*.

I’m glad for you. But this is a creative business decision. The Blue Jays have an asset that is unused. The entire 500 section. Hurts nobody to try and fill it up, even for free. Obviously, they are hoping for some spin off revenue. Maybe build their future fan base by getting some kids in the building. Don’t worry though, you will always be their bread and butter!

Literally hate that jacket. Burn it. Act like you've hit a homer before. Chicks dig the long ball and a cool guy.

They put this thing on like it's Mardi Gras when they're down 5-3 in the 8th:: Eyes on the prize!

I remember back about a decade or so ago, they used to do a upperbowl pass for $81. You could go to any games you wanted, just had to show the card at the will-call for seats on game day. Pretty much as close to free as you can get.

All four episodes have now been posted, and if you watch any nearly-four-hour documentary about Dave Stieb, the 80s Jays, the sheer stupidity of the BBWAA, and what an absolute dick Jack Morris was, I'd recommend this one.

Watch on YouTube

Always have time for a good Jack Morris story. He was full of himself and stank in the playoffs but he certainly carried us at times during the 92 regular season.

I Know Ryu was terrible but just saying/mentioning it again if were not like 95% healthy for the WHOLE F*CKING YEAR
we are NOT making the playoffs or winning the World Series! I don't think we have enough quality depth to overcome this.
Slightly catastrophizing & reverse psychology/tongue in cheek. Were terrible! We suck! Were no good!
This & Hernandez being out really F*cking sucks.

Who are these Jays, winning with defence and airtight relief? | The Star

As they hit their first off-day of the season, the Blue Jays aren’t quite themselves.

The team that was built to mash the baseball to support an elite starting rotation has scored just 42 runs over its first 10 games — a per-game average that would have been third-worst in the American League last season. They’re hitting an ugly .160 as a team with runners in scoring position, and only one of their five regular starting pitchers has an ERA below 4.22.

And yet the Jays are first in the American League East at 6-4, on pace for 97 wins, on the strength of ... a lockdown bullpen? And great defence?

That’s not a typo.

“We’ve picked up right where we left off,” said reliever Trevor Richards, who watched as bullpen mates Adam Cimber, Tim Mayza and Jordan Romano combined to hold the A’s to a run on two hits over three innings in Sunday’s rubber-match victory, 4-3.

Richards has never known the relief corps to be anything be terrific. He was acquired from Milwaukee last July, missing the horror show that was May and June of 2021 in the Jays bullpen.

“Our guys are doing it,” he continued. “We’re each doing the jobs we need to when we need to. We’ve got a good group down there.”

The high-leverage group — composed of David Phelps, Richards, Cimber, Mayza, newcomer Yimi García and the closer Romano — has combined to throw 28 1/3 innings over the first 10 games, allowing just five earned runs on 16 hits with 23 strikeouts.

That’s a 1.59 ERA. Opponents are hitting just .211 against those six pitchers combined, and if you take out the five-for-15 against Richards, who has only allowed one run so far, that number goes down to a minuscule .180.

“The bullpen’s been outstanding,” beamed manager Charlie Montoyo after Sunday’s one-run win.
