    Sox just got their Schlitt pushed in. Quite the playoff debut by the rook.
  2. John_Havok
    It would be the height of stupidity to put Bo in the batters box without both his legs under him.
  3. John_Havok
    Isnt that what aces are for?
  4. John_Havok
    Tarp off counter: Springer, D. Schneider, Varsho

    Let the playoff crapshoot begin!
  6. John_Havok
    Any side bets on which Blue Jay goes streaking first?
  7. John_Havok
    And they have as many guys on the 60 day IL. You never want a full 40 man in the offseason

    Gotta love Sportsnet not censoring the clubhouse party. Fan-fcking-tastic

    "Tarp off, police horse, let's f***ing go!" - George Springer 2025 while being interviewed in his underwear on national TV Muni's bush party quote just got moved to 2nd place in legendary Blue Jay quotes history

    So nice not to have a sphincter-clenching clincher. Clutch!

    we know they have access to the system since they can review PAs on those Ipads in the dugout, it's just a matter of how quick they get it. I very much doubt it's in real time.

    Yw. Its likely just a numbers game, they have X number of guys on the 60 and only X number of pending FAs and obvious punts. Combine that with the arb raise he would have got, and likely only be in the minors, spend the 4-5m elsewhere

    There is no 60 day dl in the offseason. When the season is over anyone on the 60 day IL has to be re-added to the 40 man roster if there's room, or DFA. 60 day IL comes back right around spring training start or shortly before.

    Lots of possibilities. It's still really small sample size, but i wonder what the numbers are from hitters on teams in the first few games of the DS after they had the bye and the other team had to play consistently through the WC. Or for hitters teams who had long layoffs between the DS and CS, or CS and WS.

    Fixing it is actually really easy, they just have to stop reviewing the call made, and just review the play as if no call has been made. All they need to look for is proof that an out should be called and in the absence of that, the review should call the play safe. Whatever language they want to use... clear and convincing, beyond a reasonable doubt... etc is all semantics that everyone will interpret differently anyways. It's incredibly easy to sync up EVERY camera angle on any play in the digital age and run them frame by frame in a matter of seconds. THEN, the replay room should be required to log the entire process and explain why they made the call they did and that information should be accessible to all teams the following day for transparency, as well as MLB so they can review the calls to make sure they can intervene going forward to make clarifications. Like, in the case of Varsho's catch... the review team would have to explain why they ruled it a non-catch, in detail. Not just "well, we saw go in the glove on the fly, but... there was this one frame where we think it might have fallen out and we're not sure so...we went with safe"... that wouldn't fly.

    Stuff isn't meant to quantify those things. It's purely a measure of shape and movement. Speaking of which, anyone has his stuff and location #'s from yesterdays start? And also where to find that info so I don't have to ask again ... lol
  17. John_Havok
    It's also one of those things that makes me wonder about getting the bye... obviously you want it, youre' one round further into the playoffs, but... that layoff can really mess with hitter's timing, which is such a massive part of hitting, not to mention pitcher rust which some of our guys have a real issue with. Vlad's timing gets obliterated with even the shortest layoffs of a few games even when he is healthy.

    France is a poor mans Diaz-lite.
  19. John_Havok
    I dont want the Guardians anywhere near the playoffs. It's always those types of teams that just sneak in and wreck plans.
  20. John_Havok
    Borucki was DFA, he wont be an option likely. Feels like Fluharty should get the nod out of that group if we assume Bassitt is there for nothing other than loooooong relief to save the pen if a SP gets lit up in the first couple of innings. Berrios is superfluous when you only need 3 starters. But they may need to change that if they get through to the ALCS.

    Back then, different radar guns were calibrated to take measurements at different locations. Some took them at release, some took them nearer to the plate... some were in between. There really wasn't a "standard"

    Roberto Clemente award nominee for the Jays: José Berríos Berríos’ humanitarian efforts are inspired by Clemente, a fellow Puerto Rican who was the pitcher’s childhood hero. Berríos launched his first charitable initiative, La Makina Foundation, in 2022. It supports youth in under-resourced communities in Puerto Rico and helps them reach their goals through baseball. Two years later, Berríos expanded that initiative to his new home country of Canada and called it El Dream. To date, El Dream and La Makina have raised more than $4.75 million through fundraising efforts, fan donations and 50/50 raffle sales.

    Gausman stuff+ on his 4 seamer - career 98, location 108 splitter... 105/104 slider... 95/93 Overall career stuff 101/105 Yesavage is starting from a pretty good place with those numbers. 1 start caveat of course but that seems to track with his minor league numbers

    the two injuries and situations aren't created equally though. we know Bo had major issues with his calf, doesn't mean Tucker's will be the same. Hairline fractures heal. Bo's current knee issue (2nd opinion not having yet been released) could be a situation requiring offseason surgery if he plays through it and it gets worse, depending on the grade of the sprain. That's certainly a bigger concern to a guy who's mobility is already pretty crappy for a MIF Edit: now that second opinion is minor, I think the bigger concern on Bo is his lack of defense, but I don't think there's a long term injury concern on Tucker at all. I doubt either injury impact their FA suitors overly much.

    Tucker was playing through a hairline hand fracture at the time. Definitely a contributing factor. Most recently .... a dreaded strained left calf.
