  1. I like Rowdy Tellez. It's sad that this will be his last year in MLB. He'll be a monster in Japan though.
  2. Kendall Williams was the one who got the callup to AAA to take Nicky Frasso's turn in the rotation.
  3. Pretty sure Grant is just an adopted Sault Ste Marie Italian and dislikes Boston for cultural reasons. Dirty f***ing Irish.
  4. The boys are just saving all their homers for the playoffs. Smart when you think about it.
  5. Freddie Freeman having 22 steals and +5 BsR at 33 years old is wild What an insane free agent signing. Back to back 7 WAR seasons to start his contract. For 6 yr, $162M
  6. And not even a slam dunk MVP. I would vote for Mookie. But I think the writers will give it to Acuna.
  7. Kremer's 167 innings is his career high by 33 Grayson's 157 innings is his career high by like 54? Bradish's 163 innings is his career high by 20 or so. These guys are liable to pop at some point. Sadly. That's ball.
  8. Track record, injury history All four of the Toronto pitchers are veterans with flawless bills of health, long term It's not even close to the same. You've got Means coming back from a major injury and then some kids who don't even have bulk track records of holding up for tons of innings year over year. Also performance/talent uncertainties that don't exist to the same extent with Toronto.
  9. So HOU is: 3xSEA 3xARI TEX is: 3xLAA 4xSEA SEA is: 3xHOU 4xTEX Seattle is on the f***ing ropes. Houston also has a tough outside series with Arizona, a good team that will be fighting to the end of the year. Toronto might need to go 0-6 to miss the playoffs. I do believe in their ability to lose 6 straight games to a lifeless NYY and a TBR with nothing to play for.
  10. Bradish you could call an SP1/2 at this point even though he's not a capital a "Ace." Grayson is a stud. His xFIP is/was a bit under 4.00 both before and after his demotion. There was a lot of ERA noise in his first half but he's getting lucky in the second half so it evens out. Kremer is just a nice SP5 eating innings. Means is a wild card but it's not like he was amazing pre-injury, just sneaky good. On talent alone Bradish-Grayson-Means-Kremer is similar to Gausman-Berrios-Bassitt-Kikuchi but the error bars / variance on the O's four is WAY WAY WAY higher. Toronto's core is much more likely to just do their thing in 2024 and produce as expected.
  11. Thank you for nursing Trevor Bauer all finals and playing a man short
  12. Can't put into words what this means to me I've finally won my own league
  13. "more flawed than most playoff teams" is a blatant lie and obvious trolling
  14. Manoah vs Carbohydrates
  15. Pen and rotation set up beautifully for next year Just need an SP5, really. That could be Francis or Teidemann though The off-season will be very focused at signing or trading for a couple of bats
  16. Lmao You're a joke bud
  17. Definitely skip him if they don't need to win to get in
  18. Nah If Texas clinches the division before the final series that means Houston has fallen off the table. Which means Toronto would be comfy Very likely the teams all have something to play for until the last day or second to last day
  19. The "order" in the west is not relevant The teams tied for first in the west do the tiebreaker flowchart Then any teams tied for a WC spot do the tiebreaker flowchart
  20. Yeah he's a hack Big minor league broadcasting vibes
  21. Like, you HAVE to drop one? Both are fringe keepers but I prefer Stanton Conforto's projections are mediocre enough at this point to not even care about the age difference
  22. Love Kikuchi but he's the #4. The team isn't going to give him the ball over Bassitt. They MIGHT have him available in a WC game 3 if Bassitt can't go long. How does the Jays rotation currently line up for the last series? Hopefully they clinch before the last game and can sort of set up the rotation
  23. I was just going to say Is it mathematically possible for Texas, Houston, and Seattle to end up tied for the division and then one of them misses the playoffs entirely on double tie breaker??
  24. I don't think you have a proper appreciation for his peer group at the position 3B includes big uglies like Devers, Riley, Eugenio Suarez, Candelario, JD Davis, Isaac Paredes, 38 year old DJLM, Max f***ing Muncy, Jake Burger lmao, Alec Bohm lmffffffao, the positionless Spencer Steer, Jose Miranda, Patrick Wisdom, 42 year old Evan Longoria, Mike Moustakas who is still in baseball for some reason, Gio Urshela the one that got away Chapman clearly belongs in the upper 10 or whatever with guys like Machado, McMahon, Arenado. None of these guys touch Ke'Bryan Hayes though. He's the new gold standard.
