  1. Bottom 3 in the order coming up. Getting 1 more clean inning out of Scherzer would be incredible.
  2. Good luck to JS trying to pull Max from this game when he's this intense (and performing well).
  3. Hopefully Scherzer can Houdini his way through another inning or two without any damage. It's not about how pretty it looks, just keep runs off the board.
  4. A little bit. Barger has been awful since July, and can't hit LHP. Hell, JS pinch hit IKF for Barger vs LHP at points in September. I guess he didn't want to do it in the 3rd inning, but that was a very high leverage moment in the game.
  5. That Clement K was a killer because you knew Barger wasn't going to do anything against a LHP. Damn. Could have added at least 1 more.
  6. Max is definitiely giving up 2-3 home runs tonight depending on how long he's in the game, so solo is the best case.
  7. In order to fully absorb the powers of the 2015 Royals, Schneider has to embrace Ned Yost's mindset. That quote would make Ned shed a tear, so maybe this is so stupid that it works. (yes I'm trying to cope).
  8. Historically, 3B has been IKF's best position from the defensive metrics, and Clement is good anywhere, so not sure why they went with this alignment (they did it in the Yankees series too). Regardless, let's hope IKF has a big game tonight. Or, more realistically, let's hope the Jays have a big game to compensate for IKF's existence.
  9. Scherzer has the worst GB rate of his career, and the highest FB rate of his career. So he needs OF defense, not infield. Nathan Lukes is in LF tonight, but is a -2 OAA in LF this season and +4 in RF. Barger is in RF tonight, and he has a -4 OAA in RF. IKF is a -1 OAA at 2B and +2 at 3B this season. So he's obviously at 2B tonight. IKF has hit Castillo well in his career (13 whole AB), so that's enough for JS apparently. Let's hope he doesn't buckle under the pressure defensively and bobble the first ball hit in his sight like last time he started a playoff game (and the team lost).
  10. Term needs to explain why IKF is starting tonight. There has to be a positive slant to that decision. Just for my own sanity.
  11. A player has to spend the entire season with the same team in his FA year in order to qualify for a QO. If Bieber becomes a FA this winter then the Jays can't offer it to him.
  12. No chance I'm starting Heineman over Kirk because of a small sample of catcher's ERA. If Max stinks tonight then it won't be because of who the catcher is. Go with your best lineup every game. They'll have all winter to rest up.
  13. Bieber was traded mid season, so he's not eligible to receive the QO.
  14. My guess is Schneider wants Max, Bassitt, and Lauer to get through 6, then he can mix and match Little, Varland, Dominguez, and Hoffman for the final 3. As mentioned, this game could go so many different ways and none of the scenarios would be surprising. Definition of a toss up game.
  15. Great game, and much needed production from the offense. Just an absolute massive start for Max tomorrow. I’m not super confident in him but maybe he has one last round of vetrin presents to dish out.
  16. My guess is Flu already warmed up earlier and may have been hot so might as well use him. They don’t have a clear mop up guy other than Yariel, who really should have pitched 2 innings, but JS had to compensate for letting a starter go 6, so using 3 relievers will improve his sleep tonight.
  17. Definitely agree with using Yariel for the 9th. He’s been bad for a while so this is the perfect time to use him. I don’t expect him to go back out there though.
  18. Time to bring IKF, DS, and Heineman into the game. Take out Vladdy, Kirk, and Varsho.
  19. I would think Bassitt would be the long man in that case.
