    Boooooooooom!

    Lunchbox, Romero and Ernie Whitt .... not exactly who I would pick as party hosts for Jays alums, but still kinda cool i guess.

    Yup can see the Mariners are just taking everything low thinking its a splitter. Pump that fastball in there early and this will be a great game for Gausman
  4. John_Havok
    ZLove it when Gausman uses that 97+ fastball and can spot it for strikes, Makes that splitter so much more devastating when the hitter has to respect the heat.

    Best defensive IF on the roster, boots a routine grounder. hopefully it doesnt hurt.

    Jays have to be ready for Ray's sinker. He's started throwing it 20% of the time this year versus.... like 5 times total all of last season.
  7. John_Havok
    It was.

    Even more reason the Jays should be able to increase payroll as needed in the next few years. They're pulling in money for Rogers hand over fist via all the advertising increases. It's separate in the books, but they all know where it's coming from.
  10. John_Havok
    Are the Jays really that heavily favored? I think it's a lot closer than that

    i wonder what the Vegas odds are on Tapia being the WC MVP
  12. John_Havok
    I also hope to be wrong and he does play well, or that his ******** suckage doesnt end up mattering because we're already stomping a mudhole in them.
  13. John_Havok
    Yeah, he's probably just there as plan B, which sucks because now we get to see Tapia blow chunks
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  17. John_Havok
    Gratz! U are officially the Mets.
  18. John_Havok
    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..
  19. John_Havok
    Jeff McNeil - 6 WAR player with 9 HRs. The modern day Tony Gwynn.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  24. John_Havok
    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
