Jays the better team. 3 game series can go either way.

 

Schneider made bad moves, maybe should have kept Montoyo

I felt comfortable going into game 3 with Stripling vs Gilbert. Yesterday’s game was extremely mismanaged, to the point it now sits as one of the greatest comeback wins in postseason history.

 

Glad Montoyo is gone. Schneider was pretty good all year but for some reason suffered a number of brain farts last night. Mayza vs Santana and Tapia as defensive replacement over Bradley are 100% inexcusable. Those moves should never happen in a postseason game.

I am in an off-board fantasy league where we have $ budgets and contracts etc. In the pre-season there is a prediction game that we play that if we win we get more contract $.

 

Questions like who will be the 6 playoffs teams, which team will finish 10th who will represent the AL, NL in the WS, who will win the WS.

 

I chose Seattle to win the WS. I just donÂ’t see why you think they are such a crappy team?? They are built for the playoffs, more so then we are/were.

 

Most of Seattle's players are projected to have above average offense. Their offense is actually above average despite many players underperforming their projected batting average.

 

Their team batting average is historically low for a playoff team, but is not historically low relative to league average, they are a .230 hitting team in a .240 hitting league, lot's of teams have made it to the World Series hitting .250 in a .260 hitting league.

 

In terms of walks and power Seattle is above average. They play in a pitchers park which makes their stats look worse. In terms of advanced stats they are a above above average. In terms of projections above average.

 

So by 'stats' Grant means the cherry picking factory in his strange brain which has focused in on their .230 average without using park factors, league norms, projections or advanced stats.

If Jays Berrios move didn’t spectacularly blow up in their face, maybe Castillo plays for the good guys

 

What ifs.. but that’s the kind of stuff that decide fates.. know when to hold them, know when to fold them

 

Or I mean even land Castillo last year plus something. What ifs but can change a whole tenure

 

The Brad Hand deal last year was literally the difference of not making the playoffs. 2 giant whiffs the last two years, with a title contender

 

While you can mention Brad Hand as probably costing Jays at least 1 game overall, it’s impossible to claim the moves this year were the difference between the playoffs and not. So as they did absolutely nothing for the playoffs, on paper or real life, it’s an F for fail
