    Youre not wrong, probably 3 of the called strikeouts in the game so far have been nowhere near close enough that they'd be even 50/50 calls.
  2. John_Havok
    Even when Berrios fools them horribly, they get a hit lol
  3. John_Havok
    Taillon's curve is nasty tonight
  4. John_Havok
    That'll do nicely. Springer!

    Rizzo just hit a HR in Dumpster Stadium - short of the warning track in the RC. LOL

    Am I the only one that just wants to walk up to Berrios, rip that mouthguard out and fire it 30 rows into the seats?
  7. John_Havok
    Dont forget Trea Turner, Tim Anderson, Dansby Swanson.

    Here's hoping his hit last night makes him realize it's still okay to ambush first pitches like he did last year.

    I hear there might be some free agent Shortstops available in the upcoming offseason.
  10. John_Havok
    Seattle does
  11. John_Havok
    Boston coming back at Baltimore too

    Todays result is an interesting thought exercise in the recency effect. For example, compare how you feel about the Jays winning the last 2 games after losing the first 2 vs how you think you’d feel had the Jays won the first 2 and lost the last 2.

    What if winning game 162 is what matters in playing the WC series at home vs the Trop?

    That first pitch to Merrifield was a balk, he never came set at all
  15. John_Havok
    Lol…just …lol

    1st pitch slider?

    Would sell it... 100%. THat's life changing money. I'd love to be able to sit here and say as a baseball fan I would give it up to Albert or the HOF for something cool in return, but.... nope. That's retiring right now and moving to a tropical island for the rest of my life without worries.

    Not really arguing for it because its a financial move, just looking to see what kind of financial impact it could have.

    Basically, all the ticket revenue listed above gets pooled, then split up and given to each team after the playoffs based on how far each team made it. But, the losers of each playoff series only get to share in the part of the pool they made it to. Like the WC losing teams wont get to shre revenues from the Division Series and onward, and the division losers dont get to shre in League finals... etc. It's probably a pretty complicated formula But to anwer your question, yes it would be better for every team for the Rays not to host anything since their attendance revenue is guaranteed to be less than everywhere else. But, the real incentive for the Jays having home field is so they win the damn series. Also for reference, i posted above in 2021 what the BRaves got (32million+), Houston, the losers of the Worls Series ended up with $21,712,475. That's quite a gap from the winner to the loser. The wild card losing teams got 1.36 million each, Division series losers was 2.94 million, league Championship series losing teams got 10.9 million each.

    He has good stuff, but his command of it is pretty underwhelming. He's a right handed Kikuchi.

    Under the labor agreement for the 2021 season, the post-season total player bonus pool was made up of: 50% of the gate receipts from the wild-card games 60% of the gate receipts from the first three games of the division series 60% of the gate receipts from the first four games of the league championship series 60% of the gate receipts from the first four games of the World Series. The players’ pool is then divided up among the teams in the postseason. For reference: For the 2021 World Series-winning Atlanta Braves, their shares of the postseason pool totaled $32,568,712. The value of a full share shifts depending on how many are awarded by a vote of the team. In the Braves’ case, a share was worth $397,391. The team doled out 66 full shares, a total of 14.25 partial shares and 38 cash awards. I cannot find if that formula has been tweaked at all with the expanded playoffs.

    He also very clearly attended the Robbie Ray school of uniform tightness.
  23. John_Havok
    Yeah they just hired that guy out of the Giants org, so maybe they start to right the ship in the next few years.

    That's not a denial

    It's not even that. It was just obvious he was going to throw a slider there. Starting him with 2 sliders...fine. he does that alot. But when you're behind 2-0 and you throw a slider again and get it fouled off you may as well walk to the hitter and tell him you're about to throw another one. If you threw it 2-0 there's no reason for the hitter to expect anything else 2-1. It was Romano's call too he shook off the pitch comm to get the slider
