  1. Our whole bullpen is of this make. Wild with very high BB rates. It's why they're all average at best. I still remember posting those laughable monthly numbers where they were all around 9BB/9 Lauer probably would have been better, or perhaps Bassitt. I guess JS had other options to avoid the big inning
  2. Too many Jays relievers with serious control issues. Sometimes they come up and throw pitch after pitch in the waste zone. It's unlike anything I've ever seen Was the case a lot of the season too :/. High BB rate will get you every time
  3. Did someone hypnotize Vlad into believing that the Mariners are the Yankees?
  4. No they just said that the ball was out of play. It seemed so strange we even had to challenge it. Rules interpretations are challenges? It was obvious what happened on the field of play
  5. The problem is elite relievers command such a premium when considering IP/WAR. We really need to develop more relievers within. And it's not like Hoffman and Garcia are cheap..
  6. Everyone in the Jays pen is just kinda average so they aren't going to deplete. That said Yesavage from 70-100 is probably better than anyone they could bring in
  7. They don't have any elite ones to trust. Just a bunch of average arms
  8. Don't agree with the IBB on Raleigh. Not with zero outs and tie game. Pretty much this happens more than the GIDP
  9. I mean it's possible but I feel like Yesavage might have given a bit more context if that were so. Whereas with gambling they can't say anything negative when they are such a big sponsor. Also, other players and their families have faced this kind of harassment over gambling losses. Also possible that it's some of both. Yesavage was trash talking Boston a bit if I recall. But if I had to bet on it, mostly gambling (pun intended)
  10. Common narrative is that it's 99% gambling degenerates. It's happening more often to all players as online gambling becomes more prolific. MLB and the gambling sites need to sink some of those billions back into enforcement to ban for harassment. And prop bets especially should just be banned outright.
  11. Yea the narratives are always brainless. Most of the time you win with 3 runs given up. If you could give the other team 3 runs each game to not bat at all you would do that without a second thought If you score 3 runs it's about 37% odds to win. So pitching gave the Jays a good shot at 63%
  12. I'm not that surprised with Scherzer over Nance. He's had some rest so it's possible he's back to where he was at for earlier starts. Doesn't sound like Bassitt can pitch more than 4 IP, so wouldn't be surprised to see Scherzer for 3 IP in game 4
  13. If we can quantify 'Stuff' and we can measure actual pitching outcomes, isn't that enough to identify tipping? That is, anyone with a very large gap between the two would likely be doing so?
  14. Had a feeling that the Jays were going to win in 4... Hard to explain why or how Always felt like Bassitt would be a better matchup. Better control, too many of our pitchers just get behind
  15. Both teams are slugging teams with mediocre pitching. I expected high scoring but not quite this
  16. Yea I don't see a world where he starts game 5 over Gausman. The commentators seemed to indicate so but that seems bad for rest
  17. Idk losing by 6 runs is still a stomping. I don't think it feels good in any way being down 0-2
  18. You do wonder if this trend of pulling starters early will end. Not that I think they should have had Yesavage continue, rest for future games matters when way up
  19. We've been up against good pitching. Most of the games lately have been close to 50/50 betting odds
  20. NL too. Kinda funny there is no super team this year.
  21. Don't disagree here. IMO this was poor analytics in past playoffs. Our best starters late in the game are better than having to use the backend of our bullpen in subsequent games. Ideally we'd never have to dig deep into our bullpen, esp since we'll have Lauer and Berrios who can go more than 1 IP
