Any advice for what strategy to use if you have general admission tickets?


Get there early, and head to the infield. Game 1 ALDS and Game 6 ALCS I did that, and ended up standing right behind home plate with nobody standing in front of me.

There's no bar there (it's right behind the accessible seating), so you need to put your drink on the floor when you're not holding it, but you can't beat the view.

Yes I’ve been told behind the plate there is doable as well but I haven’t tried that myself.

Appreciate the advice. I’ve been thinking about this the entire week. Never had GA tickets before.


ALDS was my first time. Are you going with other people, or by yourself?

Bring a towel or something (you'll *probably* get one when you come in anyhow though) and put it on your space. Most people seem to respect them if you need to go to the toilet or grab another drink or whatever.

If you’re not with a group, probably a good idea to make friends with the people around you too in the hours before the game. They’ll hold the spot.

Good thinking. There will be 4 of us so should help holding down the spot.

In the end, they were God's Chosen Ones to help restore Greatness to this franchise. Too bad it took me 10 years to appreciate Shatkins, since I have been calling them to be fired for three years now.

Honestly, I remember watching dodgers fans last game and thinking they don’t even care… they’re acting like it’s a regular season game. No one was standing up for 2 strikes… our fans deserve this more.

You just gotta keep shooting your shot. Sometimes you end up getting the better options later on after the initial rejections.

Been finding things out about Shatkins,courtesy of MLB tv.He,s a baseball junkie when it comes to scouting.They have been green lit to try and win at a high cost,and they have learned a lot of good "how to" skills.

I wonder how the jays will approach Yamamoto in game 6? Theyll have to be comfortable with a potentially low scoring game and throw out bassit (maybe) for an inning or two; see if lauer has an inning in him to pitch. All hands on deck and treat the upcoming game like a game 7. On the extreme end, maybe Springer can pinch hit for Isiah Kiner-Falefa late in the game (depending on the situation).

Waiver wire - Ernie Clement, career minor leaguer Nathan Lukes, also minor leaguer Straw, Not sure if big leaguer Addison Barger, a pitcher who was in High ball 5 months ago, Tyler Heinman hitting like .300 hitter in reg season. A resurgence in Springer, many of ya'll wanted him waived after last season, Schinder who we didn't know if he was big leaguer, or Quad A player, was back and forth...

Like just that, we'll never be repeated again...
You just don't know in baseball which is why it's the hardest sport.

Look at Mookie. He's a sure fire hall of famer and can't get on base to save his life this post season.

Baseball is impossible to understand,but Popkins understands something that this league,and its teams will be trying to copy going forward,and we will all be hearing about these copying attempts.
