agreed. 3-3 would be an excellent outcome given the teams being played on the trip. Winning the series in Yankee stadium would just be a nice FU to them too. -
It makes some sense that the NL is stronger over the past few years with the Dodgers doing what they're doing. Kinda forces other NL teams to improve themselves to try and keep pace and over the course of 3 or 4 years, the margins start to increase across the board ... unless you're Colorado.

Flu, Rogers and Varland are probably in the "break glass" category. At least there's an off day tomorrow
-
Lukes got the chance in his next PA against a lefty and what happened? Lierally a swinging bunt up the 1st base line. The bunt call in this situation was fine given the circumstances and the personel available. Yes. They bunt too much overall.

Shape of the Blue Jays: Soriano, Bateman, Scherzer
John_Havok replied to Matthew Creally's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah, i get it, the competetive fire is still there. But, there comes a time when the mind is willing but the body is weak. From the outside looking in, it appears that time is either here already, or very near. Time is undefeated. I just don't see Scherzer getting a starting gig next season, especially if next season is 2028. -
okay, but even if you don't trust numbers, seeing them both jump from crap to average by the numbers with better location... is objectively a good thing.

just for reference:
-
the increase in his changeup usage has been very beneficial for him. Even though it sits 93 vs his 98 mph fastball it's still a massive whiff generator for him. His Stuff+ and Loc+ numbers are up pretty much across the board from 2025 to 2026 (S+ up to 115 from 109 overall, Loc+ up to 106 from 101) FA S+ up to 118 from 109, Loc+ up to 106 from 100 SL S+ up to 98 from 89, Loc+ up to 121 from 104 CH S+ up to 99 from 84, Loc+ up to 115 from 100 KC up to 126 from 118, Loc+ basically a push at 101 from 102. Didn't mention the sinker since he's like 3% throw rate. Basically he made a top shelf fastball and disgusting knuckle curve better, and brought two well below average stuff pitches with good location up to average stuff with great location. Hitters now have to respect 3 offspeed and breaking balls when trying to catch up to 99-100.

Lukes with a swinging bunt! this time the run scored lol
-
i want a Bateman suicide squeeze bunt here just for fun
-
you can McAdoo it!
-
is he a McAdoo or a McAdon't ?
-
haha, suck it Jizz
-
Ideally no, but this is not exactly an ideal lineup from the get go is it.
-
Attaboy Rogers Lets get at least 1 more please
-
he's a lifetime .170 hitter with a 560 ops against lefties. Let's not pretend they had a good chance to do anything even with him swinging. I was surprised they didn't pinch hit for Lukes and put Straw in defensively IF the pinch hitter did anything.
-
Damn. Good rip, just right at em
-
dangit. That wasn't salami, it was failure.
-
I smell salami
-
It was a good idea, just horribly executed by Lukes. Up the 1b line and it would have been money.
-
Its quite a complicated process between the main director and all the assistant directors.
-
wow. havent heard that word in a long time. Did you get a Victorian era "insult of the day" book? I'm a fan
-
Sanchez hits RHP pretty well. Not sure if that will carry over against Adolf but... here's hoping.
-
a chip and a chair...
-
That's probably in the 5% or less possibility range at this point due to all his injuries.
