Im starting to think Manoah may not be ready to handle big games. Gausman might be the guy until he is ready.
 
Damn that was an impressive sac fly by Varsho. I thought that was in the gap off the bat.

I just laughed out loud Buck.

" I know the numbers don't suggest it but Rogers Centre is one of the best hitting parks"

That's EXACTLY what the numbers suggest friend.

Kind of a weird statement to make as this is done in sport all the time. Previous years have an impact on this season's predictions and gives you an idea of what they are capable of especially considering the core is the same. Its why no one is predicting the Jays to be a bottom feeder. Jays were playoff team that made improvements after a 91 win team. Angels havent had a winning season since 2015 and had one of their worst in LA Angels franchise history last year. Its not farfetched to assume a 77 win team in 2021 and 73 win in 2022 isnt going to miraculously have wins in the high 80s or low 90s to make the playoffs then win it all. That is my point, an incredibly crazy prediction to have the Angels win the WS when they have shown no progression and made marginal upgrades in the offseason.

Context? I’m saying there’s little point in mentioning that they haven’t made the playoffs in 8 years as an argument against them winning a WS. I already said it’s a crazy prediction but it isn’t something that hasn’t happened before.

Suggesting they’ve made marginal improvements is fine but there’s a big enough swing in the W-L column just by having a healthy Rendon, Trout, subbing Renfroe/Adell, and getting league average production from Walsh.
 
Ump can't call everything outside a strike and then miss the strike three when it catches the corner. That's a mess of a call if you're gonna have a wide zone

I dont think there is. Sure 8 years might be a stretch but the point remains the same because they had this core for the last 2 full years and they couldnt even make it with 8 teams making it in a 60 game season. Has it though? I cant remember a 75ish win team making the playoffs and then winning the WS in baseball. KC had some progression; won 72 games in 2012, then 86 in 2013 (missed the playoffs), then won 89 game lost in the WS then won 95 and the WS. A 73 win team to the playoffs and then winning the WS hasnt happened unless im mistaken.

Asking 2 players to both be healthy on the wrong side of 30 in the same year is a big ask.
