    Legit should have went old school and started Yarbrough Probably would have received 5 innings, 3 or 4 runs.
  2. Laika
    Hoffman, Dominguez, Y Rod, Little, Fisher, Varland, Fluharty, Nance They might be able to go the whole game without using Lauer or Bruihl. Just need someone to go 2 innings. Or 2 guys to split 3 innings.

    I literally can't find a good comp for him or his slider on statcast You can sort by arm angle and see a bunch of guys who throw way over the top, but all of them seem to get more standard movement on their sliders, even if it's just a few inches glove side, and they commonly also have cutters, sweepers, curves. You can sort by slider movement and most of the guys who throw stuff that all moves to the right are guys who throw from 3/4 or much lower. Devin Williams, Jose Urena, these guys have sub 30 degree arm angles. Really hard to find a good comp. You just end up on random imperfect comps like 2024 Zach Plesac or Dauri Moreta or something.

    20th overall pick... lmao

    Even after THAT people might not be excited enough about Yesavage. He might have the best pitch in baseball.

    It is a "gyro spin" slider thrown from a weird arm angle It's funny that it goes to the right. Because it is "gyro" or football spin all the spin really does for horizontal movement is move it one inch more to the left than his fastball. So it goes a few inches to the right still. And down, relative to the fastball. I think it is really weird for a slider to do this. I just did a Statcast search for RHP with 50+ pitches (almost everyone, then) and sorted by movement. He is the only one with this much arm side movement on a slider, and there are only a handful who have any arm side movement at all. The velo separation band helps it play off his other two pitches too. 95, 89, 84. If someone sits splitter he can throw the slider instead and they won't be right on it.

    What a game. Legendary for Yesavage. Legendary for the offense. Vlad huge. Varsho one of the best playoff games ever? The B bullpen gets a D but everyone else gets a gold star. I'm sure people were mad at JS for pulling Trey but a win is a win

    If the Jays score more than 2 runs today it's probably seeing eye singles or slapping and running with some forced errors by the Yankees
  9. Laika
    They are choosing defense over offense I guess. Or defense + contact.... Not a fan of IKF starting
  10. Laika
    Fried... Schneider should hit second. Do we see Straw start? Do they really stack righties and start IKF? I hope not.
  11. Laika
    Maybe he's not the closer?

    Banking a game is huge in a five game series. Jays are the easy favourites now, regardless of the SP matchups. And then you look at the SP matchups and realize the Jays have done well against all three of them this year.
  13. Laika
    I'm just going Gausman, Bieber, Yesavage in that order. Gausman for game 5. Game 4 is my only question. I would have Varland as the opener but I'm not sold on who would follow him. Arguments for any of Scherzer, Bassitt, Lauer.
  14. Laika
    If Bo is the DH I doubt Scamtander even starts. Pinch hitter. Can't have Springer and him in the OF in a playoff game. Crazy bad.

    Luis Gil over Will Warren is questionable Warren 162 innings, 4.07 FIP, 100 Stuff+ and Location+ Gil 57 innings, 4.62 FIP, ugly K and BB rates, 100 Stuff+ 93 Location+ Are they scared of throwing WW because Toronto dunked 8 runs on him that one time? Gil faced Toronto and only had 1 K in 6 innings. Avoided runs but didn't get whiffs.
  18. Laika
    Yes but we don't have a Jarren Duran to clank an easy catch and lose the clinching game
  19. Laika
    Remember, the Jays are the Yankees' daddy this year. We have Little and Fluharty and two splitter god SP to neutralize their LHB. Volpe is going to s*** his pants on national television after making a horrendous error. Run wild on Judge's arm.
  20. Laika
    Will Warren game 1 is my guess
  21. Laika
    Detroit is pathetic

    NYY BOS could get spicy tonight Two younger pitchers going. Don't expect them to go deep. For New York it would be three in a row for Cruz, Bednar, and Williams (and 4 in 5 days) so I wonder if Boone will shy away from any of them, not necessarily to protect them but just because they may not be effective. Doval and Leiter are clearly not in the circle of trust but may have to pitch if Schlitter can't eat innings. Boston will probably not have Whitlock available so they may need multiple innings from some mediocre middle relief options. Prediction - Boston wins 9-7. Yankees bullpen and defense blow it.

    It's pretty dumb. I guess they like brackets because casual fans can understand them and companies can just throw up a graphic.

    The October 4th schedule possibilities are weird as hell. If New York wins... 2 MIL v SDP/CHC 4 TOR v NYY 6:30 PHI v LAD 8:30 SEA v CLE/DET If Boston wins... 1 TOR v BOS 4 SEA v CLE/DET 6 PHI v LAD 9 MIL v SDP/CHC Someone explain this to me? Boston over New York makes them jump the Milwaukee series from 2 ET to 9 ET??? Why would anything change at all?
  25. Laika
    MFW I get a 399 foot flyout to end the inning
