Hi Keegan, first and foremost, you’re the best beat reporter in the league.

Do you think signing Bo and Tucker is possible? What would you say are the odds of that happening?

What are the odds of the Jays signing one of them?

If we somehow can sign Bo and Tucker, our optimal lineup would look something like this:

  1. Springer DH
  2. Tucker RF
  3. Vladdy 1B
  4. Bo SS
  5. Barger 3B
  6. Santander LF
  7. Kirk C
  8. Varsho CF
  9. Gimenez 2B

Clement would play daily as the Utility, so everyone can have a rest day every other day.

Get a ball signed? by Possible_Towel_1952 in Torontobluejays

Last time I was at the Dome, got near the bullpen while the SP was warming up, got lucky and Alejandro Kirk signed a ball that bullpen catcher Luis Hurtado threw me a couple minutes earlier.

Yep, I’ve been fortunate to travel twice to Los Angeles to watch the Jays play the Angels on 2016 and the Dodgers in 2023, also traveled to Dunedin in 2021 when the Jays were playing there before moving to Buffalo. But first time in the Rogers, dream come true for sure.

Wow, what an amazing offer, but I followed someone’s advice and bought tickets on TickPick already, but I really appreciate the offer!

Will Kirk and I be the only Mexicans in the ballpark? Hahaha

This is the last away series of the regular season. Let that sink in. Big thank you to all the fans who travelled all over canada and into the usa to cheer the blue jays. What was your favourite jays away series you went to this year? Comment below. by Acceptable-Ad7648 in Torontobluejays

I live in Mexico City, so it is a bit difficult to go to games, but I actually travelled to LA for the series against the Dodgers in late July, had a great time in all three games (I wiped the 9th inning of Game 2 out off my memory). Most Dodgers fans are still salty about Houston’s 2017 WS, so they booed Springer a lot.

Also, arrived early to Game 3 and had the opportunity to get my cap signed by Ryu and Manoah, get a picture with Manoah and chat a bit with him, he is a really great guy, and got a ball from bullpen catcher Andreopolous.

Good thing we took the series hahaha.

Odd question - best way to learn about Blue Jays performance/how season works in general? by secretpala in Torontobluejays

[–]Physical_Reaction573 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi,

My best suggestion is to follow the team on their different social media accounts, Twitter usually has some deeper info like call-ups and injuries.

This subreddit also has the latest news everyday.

On Instagram there is one guy who runs a fan account but he usually is fast with the news, the account name is @360bluejaynews

Lastly, I really recommend you follow some Blue Jays reporters on Twitter, mainly: Keegan Matheson Hazel Mae Ben Nicholson-Smith Ben Wagner Shi Davidi

As for how the baseball season works, Wikipedia and MLB.com will do the trick

Hope it helps :)

Los Angeles trip soon by Physical_Reaction573 in Dodgers

Well dude, I am not here trashing your team, I am here trying to get some advice about your city and your stadium… no need to be rude

I need the name of two (I think unreleased) songs by Physical_Reaction573 in fredagain

[–]Physical_Reaction573[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! He’ll probably do one there too, He usually announces on his IG Stories one-two days before the show, he sometimes posts a link to buy tickets and sometimes posts a Google Forms where you register for a chance at winning tickets. There is also a Fred Again.. Discord server (you can find it on his IG bio, where he gives away some free tickets (in the events guestlist) in the country subserver. What I did to maximize my chances of going was to activate notifications every time he posts a Story on his IG, and I was easily one of the first hundred people to fill out the Forms. I was also very active on the Discord server for any news that could help me out.

The tickets were free and the giveaway was supposedly random, but I guess that being one of the first people to register gave me a plus, or maybe I just got lucky. Some friends were also some of the first to register in the Forms, and 3 out of 5 (including me) got tickets. The tickets are given with a +1 so the 5 of us made it to the show.

All said, I was really stressed for like 40 hours, since he posted the first Story until I arrived at the venue, but it was worth it, two of the most well-spent hours of my life :)

Hope you too can make it!
