section 348. First time buying from stubhub so i hope i dont have problems with duplicate tickets or for some reason be denied entrance.

Stubhub is partnered with the Orioles. The Orioles verify the tickets and issue a new barcode to you when you purchase them. No need to worry' date=' you're 100% safe.

So tomorrow morning at 10 am is general public?

12 noon for public.

Also, I'm surprised that they are still taking deposits and guaranteeing ALCS tickets. I heard that was supposed to end at 5 pm, but I just checked and the offer is still available. Don't they need to let those people know about their sale? lol. I wonder how good of seats they saved for them.

EDIT: Dang you guys are fast. Either that or I'm a slow typer :laughlol:

I got one winner. My strategy is going to be try for Game 2, then Game 1. If I'm able to purchase one of those games I'm going to buy all 4x tickets and try to trade 2 tickets for 2 tickets to the other game. If that doesn't work I'm going to buy 4x tickets to Game 6 and list 2 on stubhub to try to offset Game 7 (if necessary) cost.

You are almost definitely going to strike out if you try to get 4 seats together, at least for 1 and 2. Game 2 might be a lost cause altogether. I would go pairs...1, then 7, then 6...take best available withoutva second thought and move on...if you feel lucky go for 4 for g6 or g7....then just keep trying and trying Game 2 hoping someone times out on a cart and you catch it. Being picky on seats at this point rarely works out.

I have no inside info, just based on what I'm hearing and my experience in the ALDS Presale as well as both Nats presales trying to help friends out.

Lottery passwords are already on ebay for $80 a pop.. unbelievable.

That's ridiculous and annoying. I wish they could assign them to a particular person, but then they would just buy the tickets and sell those for a ridiculous markup. There really are not too many ways around it. It's just annoying knowing that brokers just flood these lotteries with email accounts and price many real fans out of being able to go to the games.

Even worse. I saw 11 codes hit eBay for 75 to 80 bucks. One ticket dealer alone had 10. At 80 bucks all already sold

      There were men on 1st and 3rd with one out  O’Neil hits a homer 12% of the time vs lefties which is what they would have been needed to win the game.  A single just puts the winning run on 2nd maybe third most likely in Fenway a double won’t score him with the wall unless he hits it the other way which he doesn’t do.  As good as he is he still just gets a hit 33% of the time Yoshida  even though he doesn’t hit well vs them doesn’t strike out and he has 5 GIDP in 385 plate which ranks him 155th out of 178 qualified hitters with 400 at bats.  So the chances of getting a double play are very slim.   In order to win the game you have these scenarios and percentage based on splits.   1 O’Neil to hit a homer 12%  2. O’neil to get a hit 32% and Yoshida get a hit 20%(30% if Refsynder pinch hits) or Jansen to get a hit 25% 3. Walk O’Neil  20% Yoshida gets a hit or 25% Jansen gets a hit  So statistically it shows these percentages for Boston to win Pitch to O’Neil and he homers 12%  Pitch to O’Neil and they get two hits to win 14%  Walk him and face Yoshida and Jansen and one of them get a hit 22%  That is without factoring in wild pitch walk or an error which makes walking him a worse decision.

      That's how everyone should be looking at it. Yet, inexplicably, there are people here who think we should have more wins because...Hyde.

      Twins cut minor league catcher after he tips pitches

      That loss eliminated them from playoff contention. He also keeps his signing bonus. Maybe pro ball wasn't his dream? Still a crap thing to do to his teammates.

      I think the other thing is that you have to know a little bit about Dean’s personality in these press scrums.  I think he’s a very bright guy. And I think he has a tendency to come off like…someone who knows he’s a very bright guy. He can get a little dismissive and sarcastic if they ask questions he thinks are dumb. A little bit of the hipster style “well, ACTUALLY…” He does it to some degree earlier in this same interview, when they asked if he was frustrated about the two out walks and his response was basically “I actually don’t like any walks in general.” I think that’s what happened here. I think he perceived it as a dumb question, and I think his response is mostly just him politely explaining why it was a dumb question to ask him.

      I'm not a fan of the way Hyde handles the bullpen and his (or are they the FO's) lineups often drive me nuts. Having said that, he's done a really good job overall as the O's skipper. If somebody told you at the beginning of the year we'd lose half of our top pitchers to injury and our hitters would be one of the worst teams with RISP would you think we'd only be two games out of 1st place in mid-September?

      Gotta agree with Luis. No way the person operating that twitter account knows about that cartoon!
