    Bo himself is probably a guy they'd have to instantly pinch run for as there's no way his leg will be 100%. good enough to get out there and hit only... we'll see, but I really doubt an extra 3 days is making the difference between unable to play and being well enough to be a DH that can't run.

    Agree that is probably not a playoff calibre starter. I agree he can probably air it out for 2-3 IP at most a few times in the 7 game series, but is that as a more leverage arm in a close game? or more of a being-up-or-down-by-4+ and eat up innings type?

    Agreed. Seattle is much more comparable to the Jays as far as depth, and their top end talent is better, especially for SPs and elite RPs. But they're still beatable. I think the travel would be more taxing on the Jays and add another edge towards Seattle on whatever matrix one uses to decide who gets the edge on certain factors LIke.. SP edge goes to Seattle, no doubt. Elite pen arms goes to Seattle. Power goes to Seattle. Jays get the edge on hitting for average, defense and depth. Seattle can bury you really f'n quick if you pitch poorly. Detroit is less "scary" for sure outside of having the best single SP on any of the three remaining AL teams.

    It's really one of those things where you weight his veteran presence and experience vs the fact he's pitched like dog sh*t in the very recent past, aside from a few starts. That's a tough call to make and either decision can be legitimately defended.

    When the tickets went on sale for the ALCS this morning the waiting list was over 90,000 people long "The cheapest ticket in the house at face value was $190 for the 500 level, which quickly soared to as high as $1,119 for resale for a seat in the same section."

    If there's one guy you can't hang this on, it's Boone. I kind of agree with A-Rod in that regard. He didn't assemble a team with 5 DHs, 3 LH catchers, extremely limited flexibility and wildly inconsistent defense. If you look at Yankee's players, there's very few well-rounded players, but many that do 1 thing really f***ing well, and get exposed when their weakness is targeted. That's not to say the Jays don't have those types either, there's just fewer of them, and the skillsets of the rest of the roster cover them up incredibly well.

    This is an important point. Some card companies now in their very high end products actually put low serial #'d cards (/10, /1 etc) out already slabbed, but not all of them, so there's really no point in grading them. First, the grading companies charge way too much money to do it, and it really doesn't add to the value at all. There's some nuance with grading the base card rookies... on one hand, yes, getting any massively hyped baseball player's base rookie card graded doesn't make such sense since there ends up being thousands of them as you said. But for the types of players that have 0 hype when they're a rookie, break out later... that CAN make sense since the populations of those guys are going to be way lower.

    Holy s***. Two moons? Dogs and cats living together? Mass hysteria! Masterbather next??

    Jays are playing with house money now. The playoff monkey is off this core group's back. Maybe this is the season we get the movie Vlad promised us a few years back?
  12. John_Havok
    Judge hit .500 this series with a 1.273 OPS and Yankees fans are gonna whine he wasn't good enough. What does the guy have to do?
  13. John_Havok
    Black Lotus was/still is the king of value.

    You're supposed to hate it more the deeper you go, that's why sports is such a giant pain in the ass. The closer you get to the goal and lose, the more it hurts, and the more it makes you want to come back for more next year, and get further. The mindset of wanting to lose early to avoid pain is the real loser mindset. It's just a ******** coping mechanism. "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard....is what makes it great."

    I irrationally hope today's game is another blowout in the Jays favour, just for the Yankee tears alone. They are delicious and I could drink them all day long. I don't think that will happen, probably a much more scrappy game, but still, I don't want to see the Jays at the dome again until the CS

    When do the ROY for 2026 betting lines open? Might be a decent time to start sprinkling some units on a certain Jays pitcher
  17. John_Havok
    Sure, but thats every trade deadline for any team looking at the playoffs. Nobody is ever truly untouchable and you always listen with an open mind, whether you truly have one or not. All those quotes around the deadline w are just the cliches of the GM world akin to players and their "just give it 110%" and "gotta take it one game at a time"
  18. John_Havok
    Why did anyone even think he was going to get traded? There was literally 0 rumors or chatter of him being talked about in any trade discussions
  19. John_Havok
    Fox got Yesavage first.
  20. John_Havok
    I love how many things went so right for the Jays in the last two games that nobody is mentioning Varsho's 4-5 day with 4 HRs and 2 doubles. That says something.
  21. John_Havok
    Probably not, i could stomach a 4 year deal though. he's only 30.
  22. John_Havok
    I really like Bellinger. Kinda hope he finds his way north next year.
  23. John_Havok
    plus an off day, and Bieber throwing game 3. This is not a big deal.
  24. John_Havok
    Me either. It's like they've never watched a baseball game before.
  25. John_Havok
    The slant is they're talking about what the losing team's headlines are going to be. Why aren't they talking about the winning team's headlines? The slant isn't about who they are talking up, or talking down, the Yankees are the only team on the field they are talking about 90% of the time.
