    Yeah, he's probably just there as plan B, which sucks because now we get to see Tapia blow chunks
  2. John_Havok
    Utterly meaningless sample size. I would be willing to bet a fairly decent amount (if i could afford to...) that Tapia will be basically useless in this series.
  3. John_Havok
    Probably would have put Whit in left and Espinal at 2b. Would be better defensively in both places and Espy can handle lefties pretty well. He might not be 100% though. And yes, I would not be carrying Tapia for this series. I would be running Merrifield in the outfield, Espy at 2nd and keep JBJ and Zimmer for defense and pinch running. We know we're facing Castillo and Ray in games 1 and 2 so putting Tapia anywhere near them is about as certain a strikeout as there is, and why bother keeping him around for game 3 if needed.

    Mets have one of the lowest K rates as a team (19.7%), darvish around 9 k per 9 so... depending on how quick a hook, he might not get there. Scherzer is the better bet as Showalter tends to lean to leaving his guys in longer. Padres 22% K rate as a team
  5. John_Havok
    Gratz! U are officially the Mets.

    I think instead of speculating on who will win these races, we should sepculate on which completey undeserving players get some votes from idiot writers. Like last year for example in the AL, MIke Zunino, Austin Meadows, Eovaldi, Mitch Haniger, Teoscar.... like wtf..

    Jeff McNeil - 6 WAR player with 9 HRs. The modern day Tony Gwynn.
  8. John_Havok
    I cant trust UZR when it comes to the Jays because UZr does NOT factor defensive shifts into play and the Jays shift more than any other team.
  9. John_Havok
    Oh yeah they went hardcore. It was like 76 bats they took. Just 1 with cork. Probably just had the idea one day to see what would happen, doctored up one bat and started using it in BP or something and somehow left it in his gamers pile.
  10. John_Havok
    Yeah, and MLB took all his bats away, tested every single one, and just the one from that game had the cork in it.

    I'd say starting pitching is a wash, but Seattle probably has the edge in the pen. To answer a previous question about things being magnified... I think most people mean that anytime anything happens in the playoffs, its more impactful since the playoffs are all really a set of very small smaple sizes with large potential variances. It's not some 162 game marathon where a runner can flip their shoe off in the first few minutes, stop for a second or two, put it back on and keep going and have the entire race to make up those seconds. It's a sprint where if you lose your shoe out of the block, you B f***ed. Thats why people harp on the small ball thing for the playoffs, because in those scenarios where a team does execute the things that get them that 1 run, it means more in the small sample size. It's no longer about number crunching a 162 game season where giving away 100 outs is incredibly stupid, but rather giving up 1 or 2 outs out of 54 (possibly 81 if it goes 3) to really roll the dice since the payoff is bigger.

    They’d care, but far far less for sure.

    Always nice scraping the Orioles off your cleats no matter what time of the season, but especially nice heading into the playoffs. Bring on the Submariners
  14. John_Havok
    He's close.
  15. John_Havok
    Why any pticher is worried about a guy on base with the nearly automatic strikeout in Zimmer at the plate is pretty funny.
  16. John_Havok
    Amateur sports are a whole different ball of crazy
  17. John_Havok
    As weird as it sounds, I'd rather have Zimmer on the roster in the playoffs than Tapia.
  18. John_Havok
    Its just weird, while he's never been a good hitter, hovering around 90 wRC+ ... this season is just comically bad with the bat. his .185 babip also hilariously gross. Cant really judge him too harshly on 100 PAs, but ... yeah, he's the klind of guy who's batting practice should be nothing but bunt drills.
  19. John_Havok
    Be prepared for disappointment. I guarantee he's going to do something inexcuseably dumb to cost the Jays something. Maybe not the series, but.. it will be horrendous. Unfortunately it would just be too rude to DFA him after game 162
  20. John_Havok
    I dont get whats so complicated about the record. The HR record is 73 for MLB. Its in black and white in the record books. AL record still deserves some attention as hitting 60+ HR regardless of whether it's the MLB record is exceptionally rare. Adding to it's mystique in the AL is that only NY Yankees RFs have done it.
  21. John_Havok
    Yeah, but people paid money to see the games so... they should be played. Both Baltimore fans would be tremendously disappointed if they didnt
  22. John_Havok
    Corked bat was 2003. There was some article from MIT way back when that pretty much disproved a coreked bat making any real difference in batted ball distance.
  23. John_Havok
    Yankees record 99-62. Judges # - 99 Judge's HR total - 62 So if they lose tonight and judge hits 1 more dinger ...
  24. John_Havok
    Nah, no team would ever forfeit games. There’s probably massive issues involved when you think of TV contracts, streaming deals, not to mention player stats that could have potentially huge impacts on arbitration contracts.
  25. John_Havok
    Did you see the video and the fan who leapt off the seating area before the ball landed? Dude just yeeted off the seating area
