[ChiefD]

At least we'll get some early World Series starts in Toronto

Mlb will probably still start them at 9est.

 

[Northern Voice]

Vladdy gonna be a Toronto folk hero. Best Blue Jay ever

 

[Northern Voice]

Pitching around Ernie Clement

Completely justifiable but who saw that coming start of the year.

 

[kupcho1]

It was a good run dirtbags. You'll get there .... some day.

 

[Northern Voice]

Jays.... hope they can pull it off tomorrow

 

[Northern Voice]

I understand why people don't like George Springer (Astros sign stealing history etc..) but when he's on your team, he is an extremely likable guy,

 

[-fish-]

what was Naylor doing?

 

[kupcho1]

Is it even legal to slide your hand up the bat, hold it over the plate level, and put the ball in play?

I think Crawford may be hearing from the Commisioner's office.

 

[Eephus]

I wouldn't have liked that sac bunt with Rivas and Robles coming up even it it somehow scored Seattle a run.

 

[Desert_Power]

Well

 

[dickey moe]

Bam

As long as he's hitting 3 run homers I'm sure he'll Mr Congeniality

 

[fred_1_15301]

BS 3rd strike call there. Absolutely unacceptable

[The General]

Well Bazardo had been so good. Good luck Jays.

 

[simsarge]

Bigger choke : Giants or Mariners?

 

[fred_1_15301]

Congrats Jays fans! Tough out in the World Series but you have a shot. Sucks for Mariners fans. I would have been happy for either of these fanbases.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Great series in the end. The Mariners needed last year's pitching with this year's offense, and it didn't happen. I'll root for Jays over Dodgers for sure.

 

[Northern Voice]

 

[General Malaise]

Bummer for Seattle. Just a rough way to lose.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Let’s go Canada

 

[Northern Voice]

Jays came from behind time after time all year so it's fitting the game and the series went this way.

I am so pumped for this team, such a fun year.

 

[Gr00vus]

Feel really bad for the Mariners and their fans. They were so close.

 

[Dennis Castro]

So should we just retire the Baseball Forum now? I went in there looking for discussion about tonight‘s game and found tumbleweeds.

Now that I think about it, maybe we should keep it as the new Test Forum. I’ve always wanted to figure out how to do that spoiler thing.

Probably. Even our FBG based fantasy league moved away from the baseball forum and on to discord because of random FBG bannings potentially interrupting league activities.

 

[Northern Voice]

I didn't really trust Hoffman this year but what a performance to close out these last two games.

Calgary is 1650+ miles from Toronto. Canada's team.

Calgary is 1650+ miles from Toronto. Canada's team.

I'd say most of Canada. The guys I know in Vancouver are big Seattle fans. And if there's one city in Canada they can't stand, it's "The BIG City". I've been in Toronto for a game and seen it firsthand. Watched a guy say to my buddy, after asking him where he was from and hearing "Vancouver", he goes, "Well, welcome to the Big City". And he said it like he was talking to a little kid. First time I ever saw that friend ever get so livid he got up and left, or might've ended up in a fight.

Toronto does have that vibe, at least for west coasters from their country. Like, no way are Canucks fans ever rooting for the Maple Leafs . Like NY/LA I guess you could say. Somewhat similar. It carries over into other sports, not just hockey.

The disdain for Toronto, or at least that superiority complex I'm trying to explain, is real. At least in Vancouver it is. Seen plenty of it there too. They're not Raptors fans just because it's the only team in Canada.

Have you seen the crowds in a regular season Toronto/Seattle game in Seattle?

No I have not. Or not that I have noticed. Are you saying they are mostly from Vancouver?

It's usually more than 50% Blue Jays fans... from Vancouver/BC

Hmm, not sure how you know that but you would know more than me.

What the hell, let's do math, lol. With a population over 3 million (Vancouver area) and the Mariners averaging 31K this year, then that's 15K Toronto fans, at best (not sold on it being half Toronto fans but whatever). Definitely not sold on them all being from Vancouver, and not Seattle or thereabouts, transplants and such. Or those that travel, great city to pick to visit.

I mean, claiming it's more than 50% Blue Jays fans from Vancouver, crossing the boarder no less, is a stretch. Getting on a plane and getting out of Calgary makes more sense than that drive from Vancouver (yes, done it numerous times).

So even in the best case scenario, that is far from a definitive example of Vancouver being full of Blue Jays fans, or Toronto being "Canada's team". Will there be thousands of Toronto fans in the Vancouver area? Of course, with over 3 million people there.

I'm actually going to ask my buddy tomorrow, he's born and raised there and is an absolute sports fanatic, with season tickets behind the net, etc. I can't ask tonight, he's for sure still in mourning over the Mariners loss. Anyway, will report back, lol!

Can't vouch for the over 50% Jays fans claim, but I know a lot of people living in the greater Vancouver area that go to Seattle for Mariners and Seahawks games. Some are M's & Seahawks fans and some support the Jays & Seahawks.
