No doubt, it’s like the Jays just want to get the game over with as fast as possible, and so do the Rays but their balls just keep going through instead of going to gloves.
Yeah because I guess it makes sense to put one of the most athletic players and best outfield defenders in baseball in a position much more prone to regular AND freak injuries because he might have to play there in 1 universe out of 100,000 in the next few weeks.
Probably just a matter of who is available. Not Hicks, Yimi or Richards for certain given their recent workloads.
Pearson and Francis for sure. Cabrera, Green, Mayza and Swanson will be available. Romano would be available but I’m sure they’d rather like to avoid that.
Straight up Tampa is a better team, I’d rather play Minnesota. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t beat the Jays, anything could happen but they’re definitely not as good as Tampa.
All playoff teams are finalized, just some seedings to get taken care of tomorrow.
Gratz to the Braves, Dodgers, Brewers, Phillies, Diamondbacks, Marlins, Rays, Rangers, Twins, Jays and Astros.
It says a lot about the intelligence of Aaron Rogers that he would equate getting a booster shot designed to prevent potentially deadly illness and protect people with weakened immune systems as not being manly, when one of the base stereotypes of the "manly man" is being a protector of those who are weak.
There's some really good questions in there, especially about pitching.
WHo would you rather have on your team... a) pitcher who always throws 4.2 IP and always gives up 0 runs pitcher who always throws 6 IP and always gives up 2 runs.
Given no other information, which of the following hitters would you prefer to have on your team?
Hitter A: .300/.450/.600
Hitter B: .000/1.000/.000
