    We might need the Red Sox to win these next two games. Holding off the Astros for a bye is probably a bigger concern than holding off the Red Sox for the division.

    Also, who was arguing with me about how good they think Alex Freeland is already? I can't remember but Freeland put up an 0-fer in the series and is slugging .222 right now lmao Another example of someone who didn't LISTEN

    Red Sox are getting pounded by the Astros and will drop to 4.5 back I tried telling everyone that they would fade but once again no one LISTENS

    Yeah and bullpen depth is huge too. It doesn't have any elite talent but it is really deep. It's basically a collection of solid 7th and 8th inning guys. As we saw yesterday, we can yank a starter and effectively decide to do a bullpen game and still beat a top tier team. The Mariners have a better playoff rotation but they need their starters to give them 6-7 innings because they only have 3 good relievers.

    The bullpen management in the playoffs will be interesting for sure. The pitching staff, both rotation and bullpen, doesn't really have ace starters or relievers but we do have a ton of #2s through #4s in the rotation and a ton of 7th and 8th inning-caliber guys in the bullpen. They will definitely be following the spreadsheet/pre-game plan. Hopefully it works!

    AL is such a crapshoot. Even a team that's unlikely to make it in the Rangers would be formidable. The only team in contention that doesn't seem like a threat is the Guardians.

    The pitches against Betts were beauties too. Pitch 1: ball that wasn't close Pitch 2: perfect pitch on the high outside corner Pitch 3: another perfect pitch high and inside corner. Game over

    Ohtani crushes pretty much everything but cutters and sweepers against lefties (what Fluharty throws). He's still very good against those pitches with really good power but does not have good xBAs and whiffs a lot. Nance throws slider, sinker and curveball and Ohtani crushes all of those. So Fluharty was the guy we wanted. Buck pointed out that Ohtani was wanting to swing the bat and be the hero and Fluharty's 9th and final pitch was a work of art. It wasn't that close to the zone so it would have been very hard to make solid contact but it was also still competitive to where Ohtani felt he had to swing. It was a work of art.

    The other factor is that after Hoffman we only had two pitchers left in Nance and Fluharty. If you use them both in the 9th then you are asking Fluharty to finish out the game which might include extra innings. Someone is going to say "ignore that you go for the win!" but severely reducing your 50/50 chances to win in extra innings wouldn't be great IMO. I suppose where Schneider probably could have done better is that he could have let Yariel finish the 8th instead of bringing Hoffman in. But Yariel has been bad lately and was struggling.

    But you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be cheering hard for her to fail. I cannot wait for a manager to get into her face after a blown call. There is zero chance that John Schneider has the courage to do it. But maybe this is the one instance where that a$$hole Aaron Boone can finally do the right thing?

    Umpire Scorecards doesn't grade how egregious the misses are, it just registers missed calls or not. So her overall accuracy wasn't bad, but a lot of the pitches she missed weren't close to being borderline. That seems bad but I suppose she got a lot of the borderline calls right which is good? I'm sure she was nervous and her debut was good enough that I think she probably ends up being an acceptable ump.

    Mariners needed to add another bat and a reliever. They made some good additions to the lineup but stopped just short. Their bench is embarrassing but I suppose they feel that Robles and Raley can return and give them a boost in the form of platoons? But that roster plays up in the playoffs because of the formidable playoff rotation and top heavy bullpen. Fangraphs has them as the most likely team in the AL to advance to the WS right now, just edging us out.
  13. Terminator
    Schneider kind of got stuck in no man’s land at a certain point If he takes Hoffman out for Nance then you are looking at Ohtani vs Nance bc of the 3 batter rule he was just begging Hoffman to get an out and he couldn’t do it its 95 percent Hoffman’s fault and Schneider did go to Varland early which kept us in the game

    Yeah he’s a 2nd tier Closer so treat him like one.
  16. Terminator
    Screw this game, we got 10 hits just make sure half of them are in the same inning next time
  17. Terminator
    Yeah I get it you hate Little and post about it daily like he’s the worst reliever in the league when he’s been pretty close to lights out. You can run high walk rates when you K almost 14 per 9
  18. Terminator
    Def would have been good to get another lefty but I don’t think it’s a huge deal. The three batter rule really limits the effectiveness of lefty specialists. You’ve got to get both righties and lefties out no matter what hand you throw with. Little has reverse splits anyway and a lot of the others run very tight splits. SerAnthony is the one guy who has a huge difference but the rest of them are pretty good vs both.

    Half our board talks like this after a Jays win

    I was alluding to Steamer projecting him for an 84 wRC+ this year. And I'm not trying to draw any conclusions, he certainly ranks high on lists so there is something there, I'm just not sure this is the year. He was barely better than average in AAA and is whiffing like crazy with zero extra base hits.
  21. Terminator
    Hmmm Freeland's sample size is small but he hasn't been very good so far. He doesn't project great either. Add in Conforto and whatever Betts is now and it's still a very formidable lineup and one of the best in the league, but it's not the 1927 Yankees that we were promised. Bench is very average which doesn't help. Defense seems to rate pretty poor. Rotation is getting healthy and starting to look stellar. Bullpen is getting hit with injuries but still decent.

    Bautista is probably my favorite. Honorable mention to Rocket Raimel Tilapia

    Me after Vlad slap hits a 110 mph chopper through the infield for a 2-out RBI this October
  24. Terminator
    If I've said it once, I've said it a million times...this team is going to slap hit its way to the pennant and everyone is going to learn to love it
  25. Terminator
    Geezus let’s end this charade before he kills someone
