  1. Gimenez has to be perfect defensively to live with his bat.
  2. We need to convince Vlad that the Mariners are actually the Yankees.
  3. Glad that happened in the Springer at bat, now I don't have to read about that one blown call in the 1st inning (until the next blown call).
  4. Eddings also gave Yesavage a strike that looked out of the strike zone in the Arozarena at bat. Doesn’t excuse the bad call but Yesavage has to get out of that. Cant put the whole inning on the ump.
  5. Doug Eddings. I’m sure he’s done something wrong to the Jays in the past as I recognize that name. Have to hope Yesavage can work around it.
  6. No issues with DS in there. Santander is a better hitter but he was awful to begin the season (due to injury) and then missed most of the season with an injury and came back literally right as the regular season ended. Not a lot of time to get in rhythm, and now he's in a playoff setting which is a different animal. He hasn't looked awful at the plate or anything, but might be time to accept that 2025 is a write off for him. Let DS cook.
  7. Yeah the two teams seem pretty evenly matched talent-wise, so can't afford to go down 2-0 and reduce the margin for error, especially with Game 4 looming as a Scherzer day.
  8. Need the bats to get going tonight. I didn’t like JS’s managing last night but that wasn’t what cost them the game. The bats were dreadful. Need a nice turnaround tonight before heading to the stadium where offense dies from Games 3-5.
  9. Put this game in the rear view. Offense stunk, and while JS made some questionable moves, the team only gave up 3 runs against a team whose pitching staff was supposed to be running on fumes. Inexcusable display by the offense all things considered. Go out and win tomorrow.
  10. They needed to replace Lukes in the 3rd inning of a 1 run game, where they clearly need offense, but choose to put in Straw instead of DS. Then JS can’t wait to pull Gausman but waits to take him out when Polanco (150 wRC+ against LHP) is up and brings in Little (a LHP) to face him. This series is almost a continuation of 2022 so far. Really need to bats to get going. Whatever magic formula JS has against the Yankees clearly does not work against Seattle.
  11. John Schneider when he manages against the Mariners loses every brain cell he has.
  12. Yeah none of the 4 teams left feel out of place being in this spot. Easily 4 of the top 6 teams in baseball, and the only other teams in that group (NYY/PHI) were eliminated by 2 of the 4 teams still left. That's all you could really ask for. Should be some really good baseball.
  13. It sucks but not surprised. Bo coming back seemed very unlikely. Just have to find a way without him. That video doesn't make it look like even being a pinch hitting option is all that realistic.
  14. Last 3+ playoff games in Seattle: 1-0, 18 innings (2022) 3-2, 11 innings 3-2, 9 innings 2-2, top 11 (in progress)
  15. The Mariners can't hit at home, the Tigers are mid anywhere, and there's no ghost runner. This game could go on a long time.
  16. Trying to rationalize why IKF is starting against Tarik Skubal is a terrifying thought.
  17. If the Jays were eliminated from the playoffs like that, I'd be inconsolable for a few days. Wow. Given how Philly fans are, I hope Kerkering doesn't go back there any time before April.
  18. I haven't followed the Bichette updates that closely, but I'd be shocked if he comes back this season. I get them keeping their options open, and even as a DH he'd still be a massive upgrade, but it seems more like wishful thinking. Nevermind the fact that he hasn't seen live pitching in weeks (he'd have to go straight from that to playoff pitching), and prior to his injury he would have lost a foot race to Vladdy by a significant margin, so I can't imagine how useful he'd be as a base runner. Might have to just hope the team can win without him, but obviously if he's good enough to DH and not be compromised on the bases, then you have to go for it.
  19. As long as he's healthy, he's opting out, IMO. Even if he opted out and had trouble getting a long term deal, I don't think teams would balk at a 1/16 deal for him if he had to settle for that. Hell, he gets $4M just for opting out. Ultimately my guess is he will end up a "hired gun", regardless of what happens the rest of the way. Which is fine. I'm probably less enthused about extending him now than I was two months ago, but there's still time for him to rewrite his Jays history.
  20. Vladdy hating the Yankees with all of his heart and soul is awesome.
  21. Absolutely unbelievable win. JS masterclass. Love this team.
