    On what planet are the Rays lovable? The 'lovable underdog' that no one in their own f***ing state wants to watch? Give me a f***ing break. I know you're on the Rays dick, and you and the three other people in the US who will watch the Rays in the World Series can have a blast, but it's bad for the sport. No one in Tampa will care, and no one in America will care. 300k watched the Rays/Jays Game 2. That's WNBA numbers, and you can't blame the Jays because Canadian viewers don't count in US ratings. The cheating Astros facing both of the teams they cheated out of potential titles, or the f***ing Rays who underpay everyone and no one cares about. Tough choice. Boring is always better than riveting.

    Well, the ultimate ratings matchup would be Astros/Dodgers, and there's still a chance of that happening, but I've already accepted that the Rays are going to ruin it for baseball.

    MLB would have gotten great ratings for Yankees/Astros. Story wrote itself. Now they have to hope fans hate the Astros enough to watch the ALCS because they sure as hell won't be watching for the Rays. Sucks.

    That was the most Rays game ever. At least the Jays weren't on the receiving end this time. Rays are winning the WS.

    Almost got 101 at his head, now hits what could be the series ending HR. That is kind of poetic, even though I'm pulling for the Yanks here.
  6. glory
    The f***ing Rays.

    Boontoyo pinch hits Mike Ford (36 wRC+ this season) for his catcher instead of Frazier, which means Gary Sanchez (who has trouble behind the plate) has to come into the game at catcher with Chapman on the mound. Charlie has a tear in his eye right now.

    The Yankees are about to feel what the Jays feel every time they face the Rays. This has Rays walk off win written all over it.
  9. glory
    Chapman in with 2 outs in the 7th.
  10. glory
    Yankees let Glasnow off the hook by making 2 outs on 3-0 pitches. He is having trouble finding the strike zone.

    Convincing a player to play in Canada comes with disadvantages but telling big leaguers to potentially spend half a season in a minor league facility comes with different challenges. It’s hard either way, but this adds more to it than the norm.

    I think people are underestimating how difficult it will be to attract players to the Jays this winter. Players won't know whether they'll play home games in Canada, Buffalo, or Dunedin. They won't know whether they'll be playing half their games in a big league park or a minor league park. I know at the end of the day money/term talks, so if the Jays overpay they'll have a shot, but it's still going to be a factor. I'm talking about notable free agents, not the FAs who will scramble for any job they can get. Kim makes sense from an age perspective. I don't know how good he is or good he can be in the future, but if you can get a FA at age 25 and plug him into your lineup right away, then that's a pretty good outcome if he's any good. I don't know if Ryu can be a factor at all, or if he's even someone who will make an effort to recruit, but that might help as well.

    That's how it always worked. The only reason they are doing no off days now (in addition to wanting to end the playoffs without interruption ASAP) is because there are no travel days. When the playoffs expand next year (hopefully with normal travel and fans in attendance), then the WC round will likely be 3 consecutive days since the higher seed gets all the home games, but beyond that, it will go back to the original format you highlighted above.

    I'm guessing the Rays will use Glasnow and Snell in a tandem to get through 5-6 innings before going to the pen. That's probably their best chance. The "no days off" gimmick is at least making it tougher to advance the deeper a team goes. Teams can't get by on 2 good starters in this format.
  15. glory
    Tatis is the best thing to happen to baseball in 2020. Nothing he did was absurd. Machado's hypocrisy on the other hand is definitely funny. I'm fine with Manny, but he needs to take it if he dishes it out.

    While I wouldn't recommend it if I were Bauer's agent, I hope he stays true to the 'one year deal' strategy. If he stays healthy, that could actually optimize how much money he makes short term, similar to a NBA player. Higher AAV for a short deal rather than lower AAV for a 'set for life' contract. It would go against what every top level baseball player does nowadays. He wouldn't have the security, and one injury will basically destroy his earning potential, but it's the ultimate bet on yourself move.

    Kershaw dealing so far. Rooting for him to have a great post season. One of the greatest of this era needs to change the narrative on his playoff history.
  19. glory
    Yeah with the Yankees looking like s***, that would be the best matchup. No one is going to throw at each other in a WS, but those teams hate each other, and that's what creates excitement. The Rays/Braves would be the worst because I'd have to either root for the Rays or root for AA, and I refuse to do either one. That would be the worst case scenario.
  20. glory
    Yes. I want Yankees/Dodgers or Astros/Dodgers. The former for the betterment of the sport (NY and LA would draw ratings), and the latter because they hate each other and it would be intense. The Rays are a great team, but also represent everything that is wrong in the sport. If they make/win the WS, just watch how teams emulate them by being cheap as hell and "optimizing" rosters.
  21. glory
    I give up. The Rays are making, and possibly winning the World Series. I just have to accept this.
  22. glory
    By real prospect, I meant a top prospect. A one year rental for a player making over $20m during Covid season may not be as appealing to teams as it otherwise would be. I think you're right that them holding on to Bryant for a year might be better for them. I don't see a team giving up significant prospect capital in that type of trade this winter (Lindor might be the exception) but maybe I'm wrong.
  23. glory
    I think everyone expects some form of expanded playoffs to stick around long term, even if it is 12 or 14 teams instead of 16, so good to see that they got pretty decent numbers out of it despite early timeslots, overlapping games, stiff competition, and ESPN barely putting any effort into promoting it. Of course, the Jays/Rays did terribly on TBS, but every Jays series is going to do bad in the States since they don't count Canadian viewers, and no one wants to watch the Rays in any country.
  24. glory
    I would be fine with either one, but Bryant seems more of a fit considering he plays 3B, is going to be way more expensive in arb (so lesser acquisition cost), and a better hitter. If the Jays are in a rush to move Bo off SS, then Baez might make more sense in that scenario, but if they are willing to ride it out for a bit waiting for Groshans/Martin to supplant him, then a 3B would be a better fit. Especially one with Bryant's upside, even if it's only for a year. I doubt it will take a real prospect to get him either.
  25. glory
    HP ump in that game was trash, although that statement could apply to every MLB game played.
