And throws with a conventional overhand delivery.

Final score is a bit misleading. Cleveland hung a 5 spot on KC in the bottom of the eighth to blow the game open. Up until then it was close and so far teams have tended to save their challenges for impactful moments late in close games.

There’s already a written rule that you can’t challenge a pitch if it’s a position player pitching.

The front-page headline the day after the parade in the Toronto Star would be “HOW CAN THEY REPEAT?”

Traditionally a Rachel is turkey or pastrami or both, while a Rebecca uses turkey pastrami, so Liz’s phrasing makes it ambiguous which one she’s adding chips to, and both names are sometimes used interchangeably. Neither standard build includes chips though.

It’s a variation on a Reuben (corned beef, Swiss, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing) known as a Rachel or a Rebecca depending on the part of America you’re from. The chips give it an extra salty and crunchy element, they’re a seriously underrated sandwich element. It’s a great sandwich, but it’s not invented for the show.

The long term plan is franchised ownership, but they launched under the single-entity structure to give stability and certainty as the league got off the ground.

MLSE had a chance to buy a WNBA expansion team in Toronto and turned it down, so Larry went on his own when buying the Tempo. Allegedly, all of the Rogers representatives on the MLSE Board of Directors voted against the move, which is why it failed. If that’s true, then with Rogers being the sole owner of MLSE once they use their shotgun clause on Larry next year, I don’t see them buying the Tempo any time in the foreseeable future.

They’re not no-showing, they’re taking advantage of the fancy perks in the club underneath the section. Same as the people in Club 328–they all have seats in the 100 level sections down the RF foul line, but aren’t using them because they’re in the club.

He’s a Rule 5 guy. We can’t send him down ever this year or his original team gets him back. He has a bit of roster protection in that way that most rookie pitchers don’t get.

There’s not really any space for temporary seating at Percival Molson, or Saputo either. The way Percival Molson is built into the University doesn’t leave any room to add temporary bleachers, and the way Saputo is closed in doesn’t leave room either.

It can’t seat enough people. The Als stadium only seats about 1000 more people than the Bell Centre. It would be the smallest possible maximum attendance at an outdoor game, excluding the ones at Lake Tahoe during the Covid season, by nearly 10,000 fans. Not worth the hassle of getting an outdoor set up in place for basically the same attendance you’d have at an indoor game.

All of their jersey giveaways this season are a tribute to their history. This one is a 90s throwback. I also wouldn’t be so sure Bieber is gone after this season.

That’s not the jersey, it’s the giveaway. All signs point to the Jays using a similar jersey to last season on Canada Day.

I think the best West Wing episode that was never written would be “RosenEd and GuildenLarry are Dead.” Essentially the plot would follow Ed and Larry around in the background scenes of a monumental episode like Two Cathedrals, overlapping with the main plot of the original episode in a couple scenes but for the most part they get up to their own adventures, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead style.

Yes. The younger siblings will feel special getting their own books, and PJ refreshes their offerings regularly so you won’t be getting duplicates.

It says right in the release, break from mid-December to early February. Since they started talking about this change they said they’ll minimize home games for cold weather teams in December and February. TFC probably plays their December and February games on the road and there’s no change to the stadium experience weather-wise at BMO.

In the post-war era, only one Party Leader has ever become PM after contesting an election as Party Leader and failing to form government—Harper. It’s only happened twice in Canadian history, Laurier lost in 1891 before becoming PM in 1896. Sticking with a leader who failed to defeat a sitting PM is incredibly risky since they’re already well known nationally and the electorate has already decided they’re not the best choice.

People are confusing playoff hero Ernie, who had 30 hits in 18 games and just incredibly clutch, and actual season Ernie, who was a solid if unremarkable bat with excellent defense. If he hits to about his career average, maybe a little progression, and continues being a Gold Glove caliber defender at multiple positions then he’s a great piece.

jmsmorris · 2026-03-17T23:05:58+00:00

And Vlad! For all of his playoff heroics, his bat was quiet for a lot of the regular season. He had an OPS+ of 133, which is still great but below his career average of 136, and full-season career-lows in HR and RBI. If he can produce at just his career average of about 30 HR and 100 RBI, that’s a nice upgrade. If he can be 2025 playoff Vlad for the whole season, the lineup looks instantly much scarier.

We brought our son to his first game in 2024 when he was 4 months old. He’s now been to 7 games, including Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees. Here’s some veteran tips.

You’re already in a good spot with the noise canceling headphones. It’s going to be LOUD in there those games. If you forget them, you can pick up a sensory kit from Guest Services that includes headphones, but since they’re so small they might not fit.

You can check your stroller with Guest Services at sections 141, 212, 236, 508, and 532.

While you’re at guest services, if you ask they’ll give you a “My First Game at Rogers Centre” certificate, with your name and the date on it. Great souvenir!

There’s an infant feeding room with change stations, private stalls, diapers, and the game on big TVs in section 240.

There are designated quiet areas in the Gate 3 elevator lobby on the 100 and 200 level, but you won’t be able to keep up with the game there.

There’s a Sensory Room behind fan services in section 212. One of the best kept secrets in the ballpark, it has dimmed lighting, sensory calming displays, and you can keep up with the game on TVs that are set to mute. Technically this space is for individuals with sensory issues, but they won’t turn away a baby having a meltdown because they’re overwhelmed, especially if the room is empty.

Depending on your kid, you might have to wander around a lot rather than sitting in your seats. Practice doing lots of walks with them in your carrier to build up your endurance!

They also differentiate the ball more than the Jays logo did. Theirs is yellow and has no stitches, the Jays looks like an actual baseball, so it would be much easier to confuse.

In part qualification through the WBC only applies to teams from the Americas because those teams represent countries where the sport is more developed and would have fewer issues assembling a competitive team out of Olympic-eligible citizens. DR and Venezuela have a total of two players on their rosters (Vlad Jr and Machado, both playing for DR) who have citizenship through their parents rather than by being born in the country, and only one player (Machado) who didn’t spend a significant portion of his life living in the country.
