Jose. It was a legendary moment. They should commission a massive bronze mural of his bat flip and cement it to the exterior of the RC somewhere. Or make a fountain around it or something. MVP for that alone.

Wasn't Russ. It was either J-Mac or Eckstein...

What a wonderful time to be a Blue Jays fan. I love you guys.

KC rotation lined up to go: Volquez Ventura Cueto Medlen? Volquez Ventura Cueto Obviously they can push Cueto up to game 6 if they want on 3 days rest, and same for Ventura for game 5. I wonder if Toronto will go Price in game 1 on 3+ days rest? 50 pitches on Monday so it would basically be 3 and 1/2 days rest. Would you prefer that, or Estrada on regular rest? Estrada/Price Estrada/Price Stroman Dickey Estrada/Price Estrada/Price Stroman

Not miles better. Defense a lot better. Pitching better but not exactly scary. Offense similar.
-
Yordano Ventura will get very mad, and then very crushed.

Was Sam Dyson throwing two temper tantrums and causing two bench clearing incidents respecting the game? -
I mean I've seen 60's, 65's, and maybe a 70...
-
On one hand, I'd definitely rather face KC. Keuchel is terrifying in a 7 game series. KC doesn't have an Ace. On the other hand, I would hate to lose to KC. Also I have tickets so having home field would be cool.

80 power on Tellez? First time I've seen that #. Not sure who that scout is
-
Sanchez vs all of the lefties was never the right move. Hopefully it doesn't matter though!
-
Hopefully irrelevant at the end of the day but lefties have two hits, a walk, and a run against Sanchez.
-
fixed!
-
Retarded.
-
There's no doubt in my mind though that Gibbons does probably feel OK about Sanchez vs. lefties right now. I think he's let him face Choo x2 and Odor once in this series, hasn't he?

classic Grant strawman welcome back, buddy
-
It's just robo-spittle. Nothing. We're talking about a binary result and which team will beat the other. The higher variance in R/G and RA/G is what causes the expected win% of the better team to be closer to 50%, compared to a bigger sample of games.
-
It's mostly a cliche. Different because: - off days - elite pitching more important - more attention - losers of short series go home - better team is far less likely to win than in a season long divisional race Not different because: - meaningful sample size considerations shrink into nothing and good managers can infallibly "trust their gut" and "ride the hot hand" to victory.
-
These things work in degrees of probability and projectable certainty based on the size of the sample, and the magnitude of the sample. Sanchez' sample of recently being effective should essentially be meaningless when compared to his career sample of sucking against lefties. Don't tell me what I would and would not Smoak.
-
Nice to know in advance, with 100% projectable certainty, that said unicorn will show up today.

bad scientist

Sanchez career splits: RHB: .189 wOBA, 2.46 FIP LHB: .351 wOBA, 6.15 FIP fire Gibbons into the sun if Sanchez faces a lefty in a close game. Against Texas' lineup, that means ~2 batters maximum.
-
The point is that it shouldn't be. They tried to run Sanchez out there for multiple innings in the regular season and IIRC the results were not good, every time. IDGAF if he's faced 4 lefties and K'd all of them this series. Should be essentially a ROOGY or DP tool only in any one run game.
-
So the entire concept of a meaningful sample size gets thrown out the window because it's the playoffs? Osuna has been nails all year and Sanchez isn't a good matchup against lefties.
-
Hopefully Stroman is awesome, Hamels gives up a shot or two, and the whole Price thing is irrelevant and then he can start game 1 of the CS!
