If Bo does come back for round 3 (ALCS) and is the DH, I don't even thank Santander makes the playoff roster -- unless he hits well in Round 2. Jays would rather versatile defender if Santander can't start, A number of people were clamouring to have Santander back in lineup when our team was...

They are a very average team. Whether the stat is 100% correct or not, it does show that they lack any real star power.

He ended up with a slightly above average ERA of 3.85, and a FIP of 3.85, which showed his ERA was not based off luck. And 152 innings pitched. He has far more value than Scherzer entering 2026. He pitched better when he pitched and is less injury prone. Using win-loss record to heavily...

Regarding Bo = As of Sunday, he still couldn't take any full swings or face real pitching. He was unable to run. Did you see him come out when they got the clinching out. He was walking with still a bit of a limp. Bichette will not be back by the ALDS. That is essentially a certainty...

I knew for certain Elly had more than 20 HR's, so went and checked up on your stat. They had 4 players hit 15+ homers, so something is off with your stat. Is it possible that number should be 25 home runs? 15 wins and 200 strikeouts is tough these days ( unlike .270 and 15 HR's). They...

As for Manoah the Jays had to pay him at least $2.5 million next year in arbitration. It might seem cheap but the team still has a budget and if they see no future for him in Toronto why pay it.

To be fair to the schedulers, 7 of the last 10 Yanks games were against the Orioles, and the Orioles were expected to be a team that could possibly win 90 games. Everything went bad for the Orioles this year.

Door to door delivery, or delivery to shared neighbourhood mailboxes should be cut to once a week. This daily service is asinine.

These changes were not made to "Americanize/NFL" the game, and there are still some massive differences between the leagues. They were done to increase touchdowns. Of course you can still complain about the changes from this regard and say they were not needed to the game, but I feel like...

Only 3 players played games for the Montreal Canadiens during both the 1985/1986 and 1992/1993 Stanley Cup winning seasons? Who are they? (Hint - These were all "regular" players when they were with the Habs, not guys that played a few games one season. 1 easy, 1 fairly easy, 1 hard)...

You forgot the part where Dibiase paid off a fake referee who was a twin of a real referee to ensure Andre the Giant won.

The core differences between the CFL and NFL remain. - 3 downs - Canadian players - Much wider field and much bigger endzone (even if the endzone was reduced) I don't see the reduction of the field from 110 yards to 100 yards as major. Some elements of the rouge were due for a change, The one...

Today's closers would have lots of blown saves as well if they were brought in for 2 and 3 inning saves like the closers of the 70s and 80s. So hard to compare post 1990 closers vs those closers that excelled when the role rose to relevancy in the 70's and through the 80's, Closers and pens...

I'm assuming we can find a few others where it happened but it has to be extremely rare. In the past, I think most pitchers would pitch a little farm system ball in the season they were drafted in, which makes this task impossible. Not that we should diminish what he has done in his draft...

He also pitches like Justin Verlander. I'd like to hear from a mechanics guru if his over the top approach is more likely to lead to injuries or not. Although pretty much most ways to pitch in MLB are violent on your arm, except perhaps submariners. As for Bo, word is that he could come back...

The 2023 Rangers had the worst regular season bullpen of any team to make the playoffs in the 2000's. And somehow they figured it out and won the World Series. All you need is some arms to get hot. Playoffs are short series and very random. For every time there is a Los Angeles - New York...

It was AI. Or maybe I am just missing the sarcasm in your response.

Magic number to make the playoffs is 9. Texas can still get up to 92 wins if they finish 16-0. Toronto has the tie-breaker against Texas (head to head), so they would only need 92 wins to beat them. (92-83 wins = 9) In terms of winning the AL East. magic number is 15. The biggest issue for...

Carey Price is now a San Jose Shark. Carey Price and fifth round pick traded to San Jose Sharks for some minor league chump. It was nice little piece of work by Kent Hughes which will result in Montreal having lots more flexibility at the trade deadline (they can accrue money under the...

Varland was arguably a bit shittier than Hoffmann in August. (A bit higher ERA and a higher WHIP). But they were both really bad. Varlands was protected in mid leverage in Minnesota, and has been really bad at high leverage in Toronto. His breaking stuff is mid, and his fastball...
