  1. Guardians are trying to expose Skubal's athleticism lol.
  2. Which is probably the case most of the time. They make the 2023 Jays look like an offensive powerhouse lol.
  3. How the f*** did he score on that play from 2B man. Unreal baserunning
  4. There you go haha
  5. He looked safe live
  6. The Cleveland lineup makes me want to puke man. How is this even a playoff team. Yes, I know pitching but jeez lol
  7. Ya, I was hoping Varland could be that guy but sucks he had that blip. He probably would have been that guy if not for that. Seranthony is the guy to pick given his stuff/track record.
  8. "The first save chance" could be the difference of us advancing or being eliminated. Anyways, let's see how things unfold.
  9. Relationships matter. If things are very similar, you will go to whats more known to you. Again, I wouldnt be mad at Gausman being picked for Game 1. I just prefer Bieber and trust his stuff more in the playoffs.
  10. Thats exactly how we needed to proceed all year but we didnt. The only time Hoffman didnt get the 9th was when he was being overworked and needed rest. I doubt they change all that in the playoffs when they had 162 games to do so.
  11. No, my premise is that his season has been up and down but down enough to be considered one of the worst closers in baseball. A guy who's throwing 94MPH who gave up record setting amount of HRs in the 9th doesnt instill confidence in me
  12. I understand the margin is small but i like Bieber better than Gausman and prefer him to get 2 potential starts in a series. Hes only had 1 bad start/inning as a Jay. With that said, the Jays will probably value Gausman and his tenure as a Jay over a rental who could be gone at years end.
  13. So let's remove his worst appearances and then he would become average. Only if life worked that way... As a closer, you get a long leash to either close or blow the game. The reason his numbers are what they are is because the Jays have stuck with him in games when he was clearly off. His performances clearly tell you that hes a really good 7th/8th inning guy who you take out when hes not on. You know, the role hes had during the best years of his career.
  14. He was elite but doesnt that make it more shocking why his overall numbers look the way they do? It tells you how crappy he is when he's off. Hes pretty much one of the worst closers in the game.
  15. Im a believer in you put your best players right away and worry about future games as it comes, but the Jays do have a tendency to overthink (especially in the playoffs). Do you think there's a possibility the Jays line their pitching like to get Bassitt at home instead of the road? Game 1: Bieber Game 2: Bassitt/Lauer piggy back Game 3: Gausman Game 4: Yesavage Game 5: Bieber
  16. So you'd be willing to risk your entire season and ignore the 162 game sample size for a chance that Hoffman becomes something he's never shown in his MLB career by becoming a shutdown closer? The reasons dont matter at this stage, its just about performance. Play your best in the position theyre most likely to succeed in.
  17. I agree about Vlad but Hoffman has zero track record of being a great closer. I have no clue how someone with that is allowed to crap the bed all year and still have his job. I have very little faith he will perform his role well.
  18. Funny how you think youre smarter than most people because you love to live and die off advanced metrics. There were a bunch of idiots who wanted to DFA him because he wasnt worth his 20M salary and I was laughing at the stupidity of that notion. And yes, I have noticed Vlad get a lot sharper/smarter on a lot of decisions this year. Now let's hope he starts applying those skills to figure out why his hitting tools arent being maximized. Hes clearly not making the right adjustments at the plate.
  19. https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/6OaTGPltyk The Yankees reaction after they won but knew they weren't finishing 1st lol
  20. Sportsnet turned into a 18+ show haha
  21. 23 pages for a regular season Game Thread. Gotta be a record lol
  22. If Fluharty didnt show balls of steel, this would have been a very different convo. Thank god we dont have to go there.
  23. The Yankees players and fans look so depressed after winning today... love it haha
  24. Let the scrubby teams kill each other before facing us lol
