    1. Gausman 2. Yesavage 3. Bieber 4. Varland + Lauer, Bassitt, whoever (basically a bullpen game) 5. Gausman with Yesavage available out of the pen.

    Jays winning the series 3-1 but doing it with a negative run differential is the only appropriate way to win the series.

    So I guess Yankees rotation in the DS will be Gil, Fried, Rodon, and Schlittler in that order. Getting Game 1 is going to be super important.

    Next year's WC Round will be on NBC/Peacock instead of ESPN/ABC. Obviously ESPN wants the games to be staggered so that there's minimal overlap in order to maximize viewers, but I wonder if a streamer (Peacock) would care about that? Like if they started all the WC games in prime time locally next year, and all of them aired on Peacock, then I doubt Peacock would care that there's an overlap because people would be using their app regardless. Start all the games at 6-7 pm local time, maybe air the biggest one on NBC, and the rest on Peacock. That would also avoid the non sellout crowds for playoff games, as 1 pm playoff games on a Tuesday/Wednesday is kinda a slap in the face to fans who work/go to school. Us diehards who work from home love the all day MLB format, but it's probably not the best to maximize local viewership or national viewership.

    Nah, Tigers/Guardians is an awful matchup for a national audience. It was buried at 1 pm for a reason. I don’t think that would have gotten an audience on prime time. I hate the 8 pm start time for a series that I actually want to watch (NYY/BOS), as I thought 6 pm was great, but in terms of getting the most eye balls, that was a no brainer decision.

    I expect the Dodgers to win tonight, but would be pretty cool to have 4 winner take all games tomorrow. Plus I really enjoy the 6 pm start times for games, so would prefer Yankees/Red Sox be at 6 again tomorrow (if the Dodgers win then the Yankees/Red Sox game will be at 8 pm).

    If anyone here happens to be a little league coach and wants to show kids how NOT to slide into a base, then that Bo slide into home should be study material. I don't recall seeing a slide like that. Maybe it's happened before, but I certainly don't remember it.

    The Yankees should have definitely pinch ran for Goldschmidt regardless of it being a 2 run game. As mentioned a faster/better base runner could potentially change the dynamic of that inning (take an extra base, score on a fly ball, etc). It matters. Boone was a slave to his team’s analytics tonight. Pulling Fried when he did was absurd. JS likes going to the bullpen as soon as possible too but I think even he would have waited for a base runner first in that spot, I guess we will see in the DS. The Yankees aren’t out of it, Rodon/Bello favors the Yankees, and they have Schlittler (or however you spell it) going in Game 3 if it gets there. Ideal scenario for the Jays would be the series going 3, so let’s hope.

    The Yankees and Dodgers getting prime time is probably more of an ESPN call as they own the rights to the games and those games will do the best numbers but yeah MLB probably doesn’t care either way. There’s no right answer. The NBA has every playoff game on prime time but the playoffs last for 2.5 months. That’s just not feasible for baseball for a number of reasons. So the alternative is staggering the games throughout the day to maximize viewership as best they can and also end the WC round in 3 days. I think the real solution here is changing the days. The Wild Card Round starts on a Tuesday and the World Series starts on a Friday. They should flip that around. The WC round being on Fri-Sat-Sun would make the “all day” format more logical. Ultimately, much like Adam Silver is terrified of the NFL, Manfred and/or the network are likely trying to avoid them as much as possible as well.

    If they don't want Bieber going on 4 days rest (they pushed him back a day last week when their lives were on the line), then I think you either start him in Game 1 so he can come back on 5 days rest for Game 5 or start him in Game 3 on the road. Yesavage in Game 2 at home might be advantageous to a young kid, and he can come out of the pen in a Game 5 if necessary in that scenario. I think they go with Bassitt in one of the games, but I'd probably lean opener for Game 4 with Lauer as the bulk guy. Worked very well against the Red Sox last time, and not sure I'd want Max to start at all or Bassitt to start a road game given their numbers this season.

    I know they spread the games out like this to avoid overlap as much as possible, but must suck for Padres fans to have to watch playoff baseball at noon local time on weekdays. I work remotely so I know what I'll be doing all day the next couple of days.
  13. glory
    I feel like they’ll go with Yesavage and Bassitt (in whichever order) after Gausman and Bieber. Maybe Max out of the pen out of respect to him, but I can’t imagine he starts a playoff game after the way he looked down the stretch.

    After hoping for the Twins and getting them in 2023, only for an embarrassing 2 game sweep out of Minnesota, I really don't care who the Jays face. Getting the bye and home field was super important as they play (and hit) a lot better at home. That was their their best shot of winning anything in October and they got it. Whatever happens from there happens.

    Props to this group. What a great season, especially considering the pre season expectations. Now get drunk and rest up for Saturday.

    Before the game I would have bet anything that Hoffman closes it out regardless of the score, but a 9 run lead after Hoff has thrown twice in the last 3 days? Who knows though.
  17. glory
    If this score holds up (it better) then I wonder who JS brings in to pitch the 9th.
  18. glory
    Springer with a 5 WAR season. Man what a season for him.
  19. glory
    Vlad would have tapped his helmet after that pitch down the middle if the ABS system was in place.
  20. glory
    Honestly can't believe Gausman is still in. JS can't wait to pull starters who are dominating, and Gausman is clearly not.
  21. glory
    Kirk!
  22. glory
    No IKF against a lefty. LFG. We got this.
  23. glory
    Just win tomorrow. Don't count on the Orioles doing you any favors. Win and take the bye. Damn, I see that the Rays have a LHP starting tomorrow. That probably means Straw and IKF starting.
  24. glory
    Tough break on that Gimenez error, made Yesavage throw nearly 20 more pitches. Cant see him going 5 at this point, but everyone except Hoffman and Little should be available.
  25. glory
    Since May 1, Hoffman has a -1.1 WAR with 27 saves (7 BS), and a 6-7 record. There's a monster sample size to suggest that he's been hurting the team for 5 months, and they haven't changed anything. They won't use him today since they have avoided using him 3 days in a row all season, but no chance he's being taken out of the closer role now, IMO. I hope I'm wrong on that and Schneider uses matchups in the 9th inning more often, but I don't think he's that type of manager.
