    JF is up there for the CY, at the point where writers seem to just pick a guy. Just give it to him. Very justifiable even outside of sentiment.

    Good win. Need one more from Baltimore for me to feel comfortable though. And FWIW, the Astros officially cannot pass the Jays. Only a tie, with a 5-2 season tiebreaker in Toronto's favour. Only Baltimore, Detroit, and Seattle are possible leapfrog candidates.
  3. intentional wok
    Jays hold the auto tiebreaker over both the Orioles and the Tigers for WC1. A WC2 tie is decided with an actual game though, so there's not as much of an advantage there (though the Jays would get home field for that game).

    I don't like the idea of not having Benoit, even though I don't think this fight caused his injury (he could have done it on the next call to the pen). The guy was a huge gift from the Storen disaster and a good case scenario if Storen had actually turned it around instead of being flipped. Decent pen arms aren't exactly a dime a dozen on Sept 27, when guys are pretty much running on fumes.

    Also the entirety of the Toronto Blue Jays could have not acting like f***ing morons over an incident their own guy escalated and a retaliation that was completely expected. It's worth mentioning that both HBPs were buttshots (actually I think Smoak got a legshot), so clearly both pitchers were just playing this s*** out in the least dangerous way possible. There was obviously no genuine intent for serious harm (even though that could have happened). The Blue Jays were itching for a fight against a team of baby big leaguers and got one, and then managed to lose two fairly key pieces as a side effect. If I weren't emotionally invested in their success I'd be rooting against them for the last week.

    You have to think that maybe it was only a matter of time. The Travis thing is galling though. And all because of a grazed HBP from a fireballer who was so clearly lacking control that he walked in a run.

    The tough guy act has now cost a RP and the team's starting 2B and lead off hitter for a potentially season-deciding series. Totally worth getting into a brawl over a completely predictable retaliation that the Blue Jays initiated in the first place. Jesus Christ, they were leg throws too. Basically the f***ing gentleman act as far as intentional beanings go. For headshots I expect a brawl, but for playing out the drama with some safe butt chucks? f***ing morons. At least any potential suspensions probably won't happen until 2017 anyway, not that the brawl got anywhere near as vicious as the one with Texas.

    I totally missed the second half of this because my girlfriend wanted to watch the presidential debate. Looks like Grilli had his first genuine shitshow. Sucks to have to happen now, but it happens. 3 out 4 from New York is great though if you look at it as a body of work. Detroit losing is huge too. Baltimore series could decide everything here. Seriously huge.

    Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Sportsnet are bad in so many small ways.
  10. intentional wok
    Agree. This is so, so stupid.
  11. intentional wok
    I don't get what happened. Was there some previous hostility that I'm forgetting? JD's HBP was a pretty obvious clip.
  12. intentional wok
    I'm pretty sure that rule changed at some point. Maybe with the introduction of the double wild cards? The Cubs played the Cards last year in the NLDS.
  13. intentional wok
    Perhaps a display for all players who died young? Fernandez, Adenhart, Lidle, even Ryan Freel. I'd support that. Not sure what the criteria would be, but inclusiveness is much better than exclusiveness in this case.
  14. intentional wok
    They're yuge. My girlfriend was basically drooling. We met him last year and she told him she loved him. And now this calf thing.
  15. intentional wok
    Who's a downer? I think the Jays can handle their own business anyway. I am one of the good guys.
  16. intentional wok
    Exactly.
  17. intentional wok
    Atlanta could be on a 10-game streak going into the Detroit series and I wouldn't feel confident. Baseball has taught me to never put faith in a terrible team.
  18. intentional wok
    It's very possible the season gets played hard to #162. Detroit are getting the f***in Braves next weekend. Hopefully the Indians can continue absolutely skinning the Tigers for the next four.

    Assuming the standings make it necessary, he will pitch the second last game of the season @ Fenway. If they bump him from tomorrow, he'll pitch the season finale. The WC game might also be a factor worth considering. Also note that pushing Happ back is completely my own speculation. MLB.com still has Happ listed and I haven't seen anything about it on Twitter.
  20. intentional wok
    Not sure I would. Might rather have the better chance to go up 2.0 games going into the series. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise though.
  21. intentional wok
    So what does everyone think about spot starting Dickey tomorrow? Might be smart to save Happ for the Orioles series? Take the better chance to win tomorrow to move up 2 full games on the O's?
  22. intentional wok
    This is still surreal to me. Young Jose both endured and accomplished much more than many of his peers, and all before his 25th year. This is one of the worst days in MLB history. A budding generational talent gone just like that.
  23. intentional wok
    At this rate I might. My second tradition is seeing them play (and beat) the Orioles every year since 2013.
  24. intentional wok
    Things fell right but I'm not sure any of it was on anything well reasoned by Gibby. I think they won despite some questionable strategy.
