There is data to support that the 3rd spot is less important than 1-2-4-5. I think the main reasoning is that the 3rd hitter most often comes up to bat with 2 outs and no runners on base in the 1st inning.
McGuire over Caleb Joseph is a damn shame. Caleb deserves to be there even if its as a backup and he only catches a couple innings late. McGuire can gtfo
I expect Tellez hitting 3rd because Charlie is dumn. He plugged both Bichette and Teoscar back into their usual spots and never moved Guerrero down past the 5th spot even when he was hitting like shite
No breaks in any of the playoff series, only in between. ALCS/NLCS/World Series will be 7 games 7 days in a row if needed.
EDIT: Apparently the WS will have rest days.
I feel like we’re gonna see some weird s*** happen this series with the jays bullpen/pitching changes/piggybacking. Definitely gonna have to piece it together for a win
Anything better than 0-2 would be gravy. If they win 1 game, great. If they win 2, it would be a massive upset. I don't think anyone is picking the Jays to win.
They either get drafted out of high school (18) or out of college (20-22). After being drafted the team/organization will decide what level they believe they're ready for (AAA, AA, high A, low A, etc.).
