Toronto Fans around him should have turned him immediately after the incident.

I don't have problem with banning cans. My comment was about finning teams for people smuggling beer cans in. Unless you want to be felt up when you go to a game pretty hard to stop.

Difference between a team missing someone smuggling in contraband, although many parks are much better at screening for metal than others, and selling the missiles to fans to enable them to throw them. Toronto is the only MLB team still allowed to sell these huge cans. It needs to be banned.

Since that wouldn't give us the win, I could care less. The more rules humans make on humans, the more rules humans will break. It could have happened anywhere and you can't simply single out one team or crowd because of the actions of one idiot.

MLB should require the elimination of cans in all stadiums. It is insane that MLB allows Toronto to sell beer in cans at games. This is as much Manfred's fault as anybody. He needs to order the immediate elimination of selling of beer in bottles and cans in all venues. And any team whose security procedures then are not good enough to catch smugglers should be fined big time.

On the flip side, using plastic cups is very environmentally unfriendly, and forces the vendors to carry cups around along with the tray of cans (the former being the more important of the two issues).

Well, Toronto seems to have a history of this sort of thing.

They claim that they have video. They were seen last night on TV in the same section as the idiot who threw the can was sitting. how was he/she was not apprehended? Out of all those people, not one had the decency to point out this idiot?

If they do find this individual, he/she she be barred from ever attending a sporting event again.

Too bad they can't throw that idiot in jail.

I doubt a beer can would seriously injured Kim and they missed. With all the serious crime in Baltimore including fans receiving brain injuries in assaults during Ravens and Orioles games this is going overboard. Seems like ban from Blue Jay games and community service type offense.

You might have the single worse opinions of anyone on this board.

You're completely embarrassing yourself.

      Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.

      Elias on contract extensions

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.
