    It's probably also why they went out and got Josh Smith at the deadline.

    I've said this before. Even in the most lopsided matchup, the favourite is typically only expected to win 60% of the time. Most playoff matchups are 55%/45%, which is why the "just get in and anything can happen" is generally correct.

    To be fair - there are a lot of examples where these types of strategies worked really well. Yamamoto being a recent example we should all remember. That one may have been out of desperation, but there have also been examples where teams changed how they used pitchers. Gausman worked out of the pen last year v. Seattle when we needed him to. Remember when the Indians used Andrew Miller for 2+ innings in seemingly every game during the 2016 playoffs? It was incredibly successful for them. If you don't ride your best players a little harder - fans complain. When you go outside the box a bit and it fails - fans complain. MLB Manager - tough job. If you don't win the World Series, then everything you've done is heavily scrutinized.

    I'm cheering for the GM/front office that has to work within those difficult limitations. The modern day Billy Beane. It hurts me a bit that Beane will likely never win a championship.

    Which series will go 3 games?
  6. Brownie19
    No.

    They also have just 4 WS wins in the last 107 years :) I gotta root for someone! It's them or TB I guess. I've always had soft spot for TB and their ability to win without $$$. Plus my parents live in Port Charlotte in the winter, which is the spring training home of Tampa.

    Agree. That's one of the worst seasons I can remember. Primarily based on expectations that were never met of course. I hope that doesn't hurt the momentum they've created in the org over the last 3-5 years.

    My issue is I really don't care for any other AL team. I guess the White Sox are a nice story, but I'm not cheering for the Astros or Guardians. Red Sox or TB to represent the AL in the World Series I guess.

    I understand why Jays fans believe it's a sin to cheer for the Red Sox - but I don't hate them. Tolle is a great personality for baseball. I'll be rooting for them to beat the Yankees at least.

    If we think it's necessary to push Barger, Lukes and Clement to the bench, and sign another top of the rotation starter and a top notch lefty for the pen - then I have some news for you guys.
  12. Brownie19
    You mean he won't get paid for what he's done already? That's odd.
  13. Brownie19
    One for me. I used to be friends with Tinnish. Played ball against him and I used to be able to text him and ask questions about the Jays. Unfortunately, we've grown apart and I can't do that anymore.

    It's a shame Bobby Witt Jr has regressed with the bat. If he was a 150+ wRC+ hitter, he could be looking at 3 straight 10+ WAR seasons. He's obviously still a superstar, but he had the chance to be one of the best ever. I mean he still does, but he's been unable to repeat 2024. ISO is way down.
  15. Brownie19
    Teruaki Sato?
  16. Brownie19
    If Smith and Clement become utility bench players, we're in a fantastic position. I'm actually find if those 2 platoon at 2nd, while providing depth at SS, 3rd and LF - but only if we add impact bats elsewhere.
  17. Brownie19
    Tinnish? I'm just guessing. Does the Internet know this information?

    Given he has little to no track record of sustained success with the bat in the minors - it's highly likely that what we saw was a hot streak. He's probably just a good backup. Nothing wrong with that.
  20. Brownie19
    He is. We should probably discuss the Moreno/Varsho trade for the 8463rd time!

    I don't understand the confusion here. It's a meaningless game and it avoids potential boos.
  23. Brownie19
    It feels like he'll give it a go again next year - announce it will be his last and then reap all the accolades and gifts throughout the season... Although maybe that's not his style (I think there's a good chance it's not)...he deserves it if he wants that though.
  24. Brownie19
    Gotta wonder if this is it for Max. He deserves the same type of send-off as Verlander.
  25. Brownie19
    No chance.
