  1. Brett Gardner convinced himself sliding into first is faster, but then stat cast did a bit of analysis to show he likely loses about .1 seconds at least. But these can't be perfect numbers. They all had different average sprint speeds. Maybe the only benefit really to sliding is you don't have to adjust your last couple steps to land on the plate
  2. Just checking in on it again, they have a lot brutal posts about the jays today on Dodgers. There was a couple nice posts though. "This is karma (Ernie smiling as he slides home)", "thats what you get for celebrating a double play" (Vlad), Kike saying "im so glad the worst team won".(Caleb Joseph comment) Yea, all 3 of them do kinda suck.
  3. I really wanted that Cleveland team to win. Brutal that Chapman gets away with that Hoffman style blowup to Davis but still come out on top. Even though they took us down, was easy to move past it. But they were a racist team and exist solely for us to farm players from so we kind of need them to stay irrelevant. Still waiting on Ramirez.
  4. Have watched baseball for nearly 30 years and never once had to think about correct leads off any base. Never hear it talked about either. Now everyone is an expert on it, myself included.
  5. Dodgers Reddit giving jays props and also credit from the players for putting vesias 51 on reliever caps. Nobody said anything, the dodgers just noticed it later in the game once our relievers started coming out. Basically all NL teams fans are heartbroken by the jays losing as it’s clear a lot of teams became invested in seeing the dodgers lose. Only teams rooting against us were really Yankees, mariners, and rays for some reason (some seemed upset that we don’t like the trop) as I was really following what other teams were saying. Red Sox were behind us. things will look a bit better once we make a few off season moves. If the next season started in 2 weeks we would brush it off no problem.
  6. I don't think Whit spent the time breaking it down like many others have already. I think he just defended IKF saying that he shouldn't have had a big lead, Whit probably didn't realize how much extra room he had to safely work with.
  7. It's the play at home. Our pitchers giving up home runs will be mostly forgotten. We made great diving catches and they played good defence too. The IKF was the easiest play to execute and base running is the one thing you really have full control over. So the IKF thing is going to be talked about until they can win a WS.
  8. No losing normally would be fine. Even the Hoffman home run is expected. We can live with that because everyone knows Hoffman will choke 1/5, even though he was good all playoffs. The bottom of the 9th and 11th are what kind of ruins the fun. Being out by 10 feet or a routine double play in the 9th is fine. You just don't want to see it be 1" deciding the season on a challenge that may have gone our way if the initial call was safe, they probably can't overturn it to out. Also add ABS and the series plays out completely differently but maybe we still lose.
  9. Yea we don’t really. But the Yankees don’t really need him, they have a good rotation if Cole is fine. They need to put resources elsewhere. He would be great for the red Sox but they are crying poor recently, they are going to need all their prospects. Their lineup kind of sucks too, even with Anthony they need to spend money elsewhere.
  10. Would have been so much better for Max to just get shelled for 4 in the first inning, then go down 5-6 runs and lose 6-2. On paper dodgers should have won it anyway with the pitching outlooks. Also surprised eric Lauer didn’t go for extra innings. He was great last time out. maybe the next Japanese superstar does what ohtani originally did and try to make his own legacy like he was trying to do with the angels.
  11. Rogers owes it to us. Like I said we gotta play dodger ball.
  12. The Varland window is 5 more years right? 5 years to get it done Atkins.
  13. He reamed me out on his YouTube channel when I asked if he’s doing a jays podcast because Kc royals suck. It’s cool that he is doing it though despite spending the majority of his career in KC. in other news IKF has said he’s received threats - someone said they would break his legs I don’t blame the guy. Nobody is perfect and it’s just how the game broke. I don’t want to ever see him play again though
  14. Yea we are good. For ?nearly 15 years we weren’t competitive with payrolls. Only since 2013 minus some rebuild years they have upped their game as far as competing with bigger payrolls. And we have 3 ALCS appearances in 11 years. Eventually we get back to a World Series and it might be next year, might be 5 years but we will get there
  15. Yes Whit’s post is correct that the lead should be similar to the distance muncy is but he was not a similar distance, his lead off 3rd is like 1/3 the distance muncy is, maybe 1/2?
  16. Wtf brock I thought you cared. Like finding out Santa isn’t real, it’s all just business
  17. Yes he is going to be dealt because tigers won’t be running it back. 4/80 was their offer.
  18. I don't give a s***, go dodgers style and buy ourselves a World Series before 2030. Send the Tigers $40m cash and we will take Skubal for his last year. Can't blame the dodgers for spending like they have after years and years of playoff failure. We have the means.
  19. Yea I started watching about 97 I think and had no idea about playoff baseball or what it would even be like. I just liked watching guys like Delgado have 3 home run games in empty dreary looking skydome. One thing baseball kinda teaches you is that eternal optimism which is good to have in life, which is also the occasional good things happening mixed in with lots of set backs.
  20. As a 28 year watcher, not as bad as I thought I would feel. It just makes you question why putting so much happiness in something where for example if we got the safe call at home there, they probably can't overturn it. Among many other things. I am just upset there is no more games to watch. The whole run up is really the best part and short of hard drugs you can't replicate this feeling.
  21. look at dodger fans social media the last 5 days. They won last year, 5 years ago, they were even more miserable than anything I was seeing from Jays fans at any point this series. Even mid season with them in first place, never happy. The happiness would be fleeting and by the start of next season, most fans would go back to being entitled and whining about the same stuff every fan does. It is impossible to be satisfied long term It sucks the dodgers (some questionable ump calls that may have decided games) stole that few weeks or months of satisfaction from us though and that they have Ohtani who should have received a lifetime ban alongside Clase and company. Props to Yamamoto though for sweeping seeds and spit off our dugout floor after winning and shame on Ohtani for trying to match his class by picking up balls in the field after batting practice today.
  22. Blame list IKF because he had the easiest job, just run Varsho Hoffman Bieber Bassitt Trey not making the list because short rest and he went 1.2 innings to give up just 1 run. Max was good.
