As a fan, happy that regular season games end sooner now. Watching a game go 17-18 innings can be boring (nothing really happens) and completely depletes each team for their next game. As a fan in attendance, watching a 6-7 hour game is too much. I understand in the Postseason, there isn't much you can do so you have to let them play. Which I don't have an issue with if a game goes 12 or 13 innings.

I thought at the end of the season wouldn't be a bad idea as well, but I'm sure some players/pitchers after 162 game grind probably don't want to participate. Also, you would still have a month that includes the Postseason, so some arms anyways wouldn't be pitching for a month and then all of a sudden start again. Not sure there is a perfect/ideal time for this tournament. Obviously as a fan, you want to see the best and in a big matchup you want to see an arm like Verlander battle Ohtani, and not just for three innings. The WBC games have become bullpen games pretty much anyways. Starters only pitch 2-3 innings and on a strict pitch count. It's still entertaining to watch but what sucks is you know you'll never see the best of the best competing or WBC matches managed like actual MLB games.

I think the WBC benefits hitters more than pitchers before the season. Tough to schedule a WBC. Not sure there is a perfect time during the calendar year. Sucks you won't ever have the best of the very best compete but that's the reality.

Same with the Cincinnati Reds in the LOD.

Most women on social media loved the halftime show lol. But agree with everything else you said.

Lost out on my Philly $50 bet moneyline and $10 parlay (moneyline, score first and lead at half). Decided betting in-game on kickoffs - can bet either for a touchback or no touchback. Bet for touchbacks every kickoff. Odds were like -300 or -400 majority of the time. Started doing some $50 bets and then $100 bets afterwards. Was making like $20-25 each time. Think I made close to $200 just doing that on Bet 365 haha.
-
Ending sucked but yeah otherwise leading up to that 3rd down flag, was a terrific game. Entertaining for sure.
-
Not sure you make that call for holding at that point in the game. The game was great up to that point. Last two minutes felt disappointing. Late flag as well. Philly was the better team IMO, but that fumble in the first half hurt and also allowing that punt return in the second half. Lead to two easy touchdowns. KC capitalized. Mahomes was alright but he even threw under 200 yards. Sucks to see the game be decided on a 3rd down penalty call that looked questionable, but oh well.
-
Put $50 on the Eagles to win. Might add more later on.
-
Nice deal by the DBacks signing Chafin to $6.5M for one year.
-
Adam Loewen still pitching. Good to see him suit up for the WBC. Canada's roster isn't that bad. Would have been nice if Josh Naylor could have suited up.
-
I don't have high hopes for the Raps this season. Even if they get the play-in, they're getting knocked out R1.

Happy Birthday Spanky!!!! Drinking beer and raising a glass for you tonight!

In a perfect world, would have been nice to sign Kluber or Cueto to a one-year deal but oh well. Still, Jays SP depth I think is fine. Sure if we're talking about a season ending injury to one of their top arms, then different story. They can hold the fort down if a starter has to miss 2-3 turns. I think White for 20 starts wouldn't hurt or Thompson for 10-12 starts would be fine. Plus some of the young guys the Jays have who could come up.
-
Yeah this is one of the deepest rosters we have seen. In terms of depth, position versatility, lineup balance, behind the plate, defense, starting pitching and bullpen. Even last season on Opening Day, kind of felt this team had some holes and wasn't that complete. Really pleased with the job Atkins and company have done this offseason. If majority of this team stays healthy, they'll be excellent in 2023. Even with some minor injuries, this team has enough quality depth to hold down the fort for a couple of weeks if they lose a big bat or starter. We won't be seeing 500 AB's wasted on Tapia, Zimmer in the lineup everyday for a stretch, or innings wasted on guys like Casey Lawrence.

AG, I'll accept your offer. Have to make room on your roster. -
Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)

Next offseason -
I think when Darvish is healthy and on, he's a very good 1A or No. 2 arm. He's still a notch below JV and Max who have consistenly been 5-6 WAR pitchers every season, whereas Darvish hasn't strung together consistent 4 WAR seasons. He definitely would be an attractive FA after 2023 if he had another 4 WAR season, though don't think he gets JV or Max money.
-
I don't think the Padres had to extend Darvish at this exact minute given his age and at that cost. They were bidding against themselves. I don't see Darvish getting that type of contract as a FA after 2023.
-
That's insane.
-
Glad to see Poeltl back with the Raps. Always liked him and he's having a great season! Looks like the Raps might not selloff after all, but we'll see. Hope they can add some more depth. Right now they sit in 10th place for the Play-In.

Nets are 32-22 and trading all their stars. Crazy.
-
Yeah OG and Barnes seem to be the same type of player. Also, heard rumours OG isn't happy hear but not sure the truth to that.

Yeah Stroman coming back at the end of 2015 and he pitched well for the Jays after that. Definitely a gamer. Even though on social media he appears as a woke, cry baby, a-hole, he pitched well with the Jays.
