AL Wild Card Round: Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays

[Dokken]

Season on the line....no Rowdy....give me a break.

 

I am thinking more about why having Biggio at 3B ( with a -13.4 UZR/150 in 81 innings). Meanwhile Shaw (2.3 UZR/150 in 3780 innings at 3B) plays 1B. It's almost like playing 1st is actually hard and they don't want Vlad to f*** it up in a must win game

[Laika]

Well, that’s the center of it. If you’re Tampa and you put your SP on a hard limit or pull him early and hand Nick Anderson the ball, you’re smart. If you’re handing it to AJ Cole you aren’t

 

I don't know why they chose Cole over Pearson, Borucki, several other options but I wonder if even a fresh AJ Cole is better than Shoemaker and Ray going through an order multiple times. Shoemaker had a terrible FIP this season and Ray sucked overall and was bad with Toronto too. AJ Cole had a decent year by ERA and FIP.

 

I'm not letting you have any little piece of this. The fact that Cole gave up a bomb and they lost proves nothing. Toronto needs to use weird but thoughtful processes exactly like this to have any chance to win in the playoffs with this pitching staff.

Biggio has to swing the f***ing bat come on

[Spanky99]

Get that bat off your shoulder Cavan.

Man Glasnow is painting the corners with 99. This is going to be a grind again.

couple good swings off Glasnow so far... maybe we can put some runs up

Everything they hit finds a hole. It's just a nightmare playing in this park.
