I'm still pretty dubious about Rogers being wiling to take payroll to another level. Hidden beneath the feel-good deadline additions were Revere's salary being covered by Philadelphia and Valencia and his salary being shown the door. I think it will be surprising if they're above ~130 next year. Watching them maneuver this will be the most interesting thing to follow over the next 15-16 months.
Holland hasn't really been Holland this year though. I know Lewis sucks, but I'd rather have a s***** RHP than a s***** LHP start against Toronto. If I'm Texas I close it out with Perez, then Lewis, then Hamels and use Holland in the pen.
No, that's not what's happening at all. They are as good as people thought they were. Good teams sometimes lose games to mediocre teams. Playoffs are a crapshoot.
He might be out, but the call on the field wasn't egregious, and there isn't conclusive evidence to have the call overturned. I hope this doesn't turn into years of 'MLB hates Canada' whining.
