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

He's claiming it wasn't him (of course). I saw somewhere that people say they have proof that it was a woman with blonde hair. Whatever.

Here's what ticks me off....it shouldn't be that hard to positively identify who really did it. You're telling me NONE of the people sitting in that section saw who threw it, and couldn't point that person out to the stadium officials? That's total BS. All of them covered for the offender. Disgusting.

If only this much attention was spent on murders, rapes, robberies, and burglaries we would have a lot less crime.

They sell 24 oz cans in KC.

When did they stop selling cans at Camden Yards? I remember having a can of beer not that long ago. Surprising that they would poor a beer from a can to a cup when they are too cheap to give you a cup of water at the bars on the club level.

It must have been this year.

I have pics from games last season (2015) with beer cans in hands.. to be exact Natty Boh cans.

It could have killed him. This is serious.

It would not have killed him.... come on.... Yes, It could have injured him but lets not get all worked up and say it would have killed him. I do not approve of the behavior but its Toronto.... I remember when Reimold was out there getting stuff throw at him.. I am not sure what it was, it may have been a giveaway item.

I jokingly asked if there was a prop bet in our game for a fan throwing something at a player. This is expected from them.

They should have to play an empty stadium home game if it happens again. Like what they do in international soccer. Toronto likes to pride itself on being international, they fit right in with the dummies.

Toronto fans are sophisticated.

They still sell cans and aluminum bottles at Camden Yards.

Wait you are correct. I did get cans at the last game.

I mixed up the last networking meeting I was at where they had to pour beer into a cup and we could not carry bottles... maybe they were afraid of some Canadians were going to be attending, I am not sure.

Party on Wayne.

So one thing that was weird when I bought a can once at Camden Yards I asked them not to open it. They said they had to open it as it was the rules. I never could understand why and I saw this post on a message board:

Below is the response I got from guest services.

(The Blue Jays play in the same stadium.)

“On behalf of the Toronto Blue Jays, thank you for your email. It is a

policy of ours to take the top off the bottles for safety reason. By

taking the tops off we help prevent fans from throwing the bottles which

with water or pop still in them could seriously hurt someone. Taking the

tops off is just a preventative measure we take so that incidents like

this do not occur"

I simply cannot believe no one in the stands ID this butthole right when it happened. And to think Canadians are supposed to be so nice. EPIC FAIL CANADA! I see someone do something that could injure someone you better believe I am holding them down and calling the cops over.

    • Cowser had a 4.0 fWAR in 2024. You ready to lock him up for 7-8 years or longer?
    • I think he already had and it was Bradish.  Midling prospect who turns out to have #1 level stuff.  Injuries are a bitch.
    • Cell service restored, power back on, not a single shingle missing from the roof. 
    • They need players who are better than some they have
    • 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.
