The defense I've witnessed today has been terrible on key plays.

f*** bunting man. Sasaki had no control and you give him a free out.

It’s sad we have to watch these pathetic teams after watching jays for 162.

[Spanky__99]

Going to be a banger of a series.

Using Sale in Game 3 of the WC series was foolish but now he’s starting Game 3 of the DS with a 1-1 series, so not the worst outcome for the Braves. Hopefully they eliminate the Dodgers. I don’t think they will, but Ray Kerr is proving that AA’s voodoo from 2021 might still exist.

I always laugh when managers change their entire strategy with pitchers the moment the postseason begins.

We're seeing a lot of this so far.  Grant Taylor with a 4 inning save.  Braves used Didier Fuentes for 3 2/3's last night, choosing NOT to use Iglesias until Muncy made it 3-2 with a bomb...

Wheeler and Sale both used out of the pen in the WC series.

I find the use of different strategies in the playoffs fascinating.

Yankees only hope is Schlittler stealing a game today

I think some of it is purely out of desperation but it sure is entertaining.

Does anyone have Spankys cell?  It’s not anything weird the only reason I need it is because if he isn’t online sometimes and I need to say something to him it would just be faster.

Thanks I messaged him, I got the digits

I look forward to this every season, the Rays have to be the best at developing MLB players, and look at the Guardians (in 2025 they had : 16 homegrown).  Dodgers are normally right up there but they've traded away so many prospets and have fu money to spend

[hanton]

Murakami  fWAR 2.9

Okamoto 3.0

 

[hanton]

piece of s*** park, embarassing

[SpencerBateman]

in case it doesn’t seem like I’m replying enough it could be because I am in private chats with spanky.  He would confirm we do have a private chats convo going on.  Maybe some late nice face time stuff too after we settle into our respective beds 

nothing gay though

If you thought the 2025 Yankees were sloppy defensively, man, this game is a reminder that it's still there. Buck Martinez watching this game with a smile on his face. 

[Jays24]

Why did the Yankees take out Cam?  He gave up hard contact to 2 really good hitters but then got 2 soft ass dribblers.  Anyways, im happy lol

[G-Snarls]

Also the Trop remains a f'n joke 

 

[Omar]

Yankees GDT in shambles.

Yeah he was only at 76 pitches.  Boone is saving him for 2027 opening day.

[SpencerBateman]

It’s not that the Yankees are bad it’s just that Tampa bay is good.  

[bronson44]

Haha bounced early again Yanks. Get Fukced

[Jays24]

These have gotta be the worst teams in the AL playoffs  has gotta be the worst AL playoffs of all time.   Think about the teams we played vs the dogshit we're watching these playoffs.  Such a wasted opportunity for us :(

[G-Snarls]

Everybody's dream of a Brewers Rays world series is very much alive

[Stangstag]

Yanks getting exposed again in the playoffs, hopefully the Rays can finish this in game 3 for peak embarrassment

Without Judge they just ain't s***

[jaysblue]

I bet Yankees tickets for Game 3 are going to be cheap on SeatGeek and StubHub after coming back home down 2-0 haha.

Yeah tough without Judge. Lineup is so different.

Still, even with Judge, Yankees are a team with a lot of flaws.
