    Here's hoping his hit last night makes him realize it's still okay to ambush first pitches like he did last year.
  2. John_Havok
    I hear there might be some free agent Shortstops available in the upcoming offseason.
  3. John_Havok
    Seattle does
  4. 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?
  7. John_Havok
    That first pitch to Merrifield was a balk, he never came set at all
  8. John_Havok
    Lol…just …lol
  9. John_Havok
    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.
  16. 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
  19. John_Havok
    I was watching the game at the time and said the exact same thing. Everyone in the park knew a slider was coming

    Not sure, this is what I was able to find: "According to the arrest report, an officer was flagged down by an individual yelling at Mayfield. The quarterback, dressed in a gray hoodie stained with soy sauce, was told to stay at the scene by the officer, but then began, “yelling profanities and causing a scene.” When Mayfield tried to leave the scene, he was subsequently chased down and arrested by officers. Dash cam video of the arrest released March 10 shows Mayfield getting tackled into a wall by police." argument on the street while drunk. I think we've all been there. Hell, Spanky has probably been there a few times this week, except the street is his living room and the other guy was a plant.

    Pearson is going to be the next El Glorioso!

    What would a trade package even look like for Ohtani? Top 3-ish prospects plus at least 1-2 young position players that don't suck? I mean its the Angels so they're definitely gonna screw up even if they do trade him At the deadline, Morosi had speculated a trade of Ohtani to the jays would require Tiedemann, Moreno, Max Castillo and Orelvis.
  23. John_Havok
    NO chance the Rays sign Ohtani, that Freeman stuff was just lip service for sure.

    Meh, public intoxication... the whitest crime ever. Call me when it's domectic abuse, rape, or murder.

    Looking at AL ranks, Seatlle ranks 5th in pretty much everything as a team... wRC+, Def, fWAR... run differential they're one of the 7 teams with a positve run diff and its pnly 8 runs different than the Jays. I dont think it's a stretch to say they're a solid wildcard team. Side note, all wildcard teams have a better record than Cleveland. God the Central sucks so much ass.
