How Safe Is It Around The Stadium & Going To Games Now?

Violence in Toronto is on the rise. I wonder if it is just a change in reporting procedure.

Two options if you're worried about the safety of your family. Which is reasonable leaving any night game. Go on to stubhub and by a parking pass to the game to one of the close lots. If you do park in a lot that is far away then just exit the stadium on the LF side of Eutaw St and get an Uber to drive you to your car. I use Uber all the time in the city. For 5-6 dollars its almost worth not having to make the walk back to your car anyway.

Everyone's forgetten about it for now.

I don't know when the trials will be. Hopefully in the dead of winter after all the Ravens' home games have been played.

Agreed, It will be far too cold for all the rats to venture outside to loot and pillage - or even have the obligatory dance festival thereafter...:rolleyestf:

Another option is to park along the Light Rail and then take the Light Rail in. I do this regularly. My car is perfectly safe at a Light Rail station and I avoid the huge parking fees. The Light Rail has been perfectly safe during the whole period.

    • Sure there is a ton of noise in those stats, just like there is in most/many stats.  But too many are acting like Santander is so good that he's irreplaceable and that our lineup is going to suffer by his absence.  He simply isn't that good of an all around hitter for the team to really miss him.  And while there is a ton of noise in the noted stats, they do show that at least this year he didn't show up big when we needed him.  Sure, he hit a handful of big home runs in some key situations, but by and large he wasn't really effective or impactful with RISP and came up very small in many key situations, along with the rest of the stinking team.
    • And in 2023 he had a .305 average and .919 OPS with RISP. I don’t think he suddenly became unable to hit with RISP. There’s a ton of noise in those stats. Nobody on this team creates a black hole by not being in the lineup in the future, even Gunnar. It depends on team construction, return on trade, etc.
    • I think the answer to this question depends upon how much you believe in Kjerstad (I think Mayo is ticketed for first base). I personally don’t based on what I have seen in Norfolk and Baltimore because I question whether he will get to his power due to his swing decisions, and think he will struggle with major league off speed pitches. He’ll also be in his age 26 season next year and, although that isn’t really his fault, I think the AAA numbers need to be viewed with his age in mind. I will be rooting for him to succeed because I want the Orioles to win. I just don’t have the same confidence in him that many seem to.
    • Nope, see the above post.  He was 11th on the team in BA with RISP and 12 in OPS with RISP.  That isn't exactly a guy that's carrying a team when it matters or someone that's going to create a back hole by not being in the lineup in the future.  
    • No one did, including Santander.  And that's why we are sitting home now and had a bad 2nd half of the season.  None of the others though are a free agent expecting to get 20M a year or more.  That said, with RISP he was a .234 BA hitter with a .736 OPS.  That BA with RISP was 12th on the Os in 2024, while that OPS was 11th, though admittedly some of those above him were SSS guys like Stowers and Rivera.  That's not exactly someone that 'came up big'.  When he's up with RISP, or any other time frankly, I expect one of three things.  A home run, a strikeout or an easy out.  He's not going to do much else.  And we already have too many of those type hitters on the team, though none with his home run numbers obviously.  We really aren't going to miss his one dimensional bat as much as folks are acting like.  Give him the QO and wish him well.
    • He was third on the team in win probability added, but I am assuming your going based off what you “saw.” https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=np&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=3&season=2024&month=0&season1=2024&ind=0&team=2&rost=0&age=0&sortcol=2&sortdir=default&pagenum=1
