Blue Jays Discussion: End of the Hand

[theaub]

I don't care who we play as long as it's in Toronto

 

[Bjindaho]

i dont get it. there are 162 games in the season. why is this one "the game"?

one of the most memorable games this season for me was when they came back to the skydome



from the above - "The Blue Jays are on a 14–2 run. On Monday they begin a three-game set against Tampa Bay, which has neutralized them while winning eight of 13. But get this: After that the Jays play 10 of their final 16 games against Minnesota and Baltimore, the two worst pitching staffs in the league. Their final three games are against the Orioles. There is a good chance this kind of hitting continues. With a wild-card lead, Toronto controls its playoff destiny."

The joke was made about how arbitrary the team becoming good was. This is game 1 of the 14-2 stretch.

Was Moreno ranked that high earlier in the year? That’s a high rank

I believe so. He was for sure top 10.

Is SWR still in the top 100?

No he isnt.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

For the record I would still much rather laugh at the red Sox missing the playoffs than at the Yankees.

Hopefully, Oakland passes them both.

I'm kinda terrified at how much money the Yanks and Sox will throw at free agents this winter to try and buy a playoff spot next year.

I don't care what they do as long as they don't get Ramirez or Semien. If they got one of those 2 players it would hurt a lot, especially Jose Ramirez who I have a feeling is going to get traded during Cleveland's rebuild/retool.

Seattle would make me a bit more nervous. Masters of winning low scoring 1 run games and they have that elite bullpen that's 2nd in fWAR.

New York and Boston will be throwing money at one of the big names this winter. Its just a matter of who. It's a pretty damn good crop.

That Yankees win was BS

 

[Cloned]

You should be able to challenge a strike call as part of your challenges.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

One more reason to have robot umps

 

[lebdafor norris]

No he isnt.

I though he would still be somewhere near the end of the top 100, really makes the Berrios trade look much better now knowing the Jays gave up 1 high quality prospect instead of 2.

Umpires helping bad teams win games. What else is new

Pearson is also in a free fall on that list

 

[Clark4Ever]

Statement win. Manoah was outstanding.

More unlikely HR to happen? Bo hits a HR on a ball that was closer to the dirt than the zone, or Vladdy hits a HR with a 15% launch angle?

[phillipmike]

3 run bomb for Haniger. 5-2 M’s

I'm just gonna wait for Vladdy to golf a ball off the dirt and out at a 12% launch angle. Because I'm not betting against that happening eventually.

 

[phillipmike]

Back to back jacks for Bogarts and Devers.

5-4 Mariners

 

[TopChedder]

f*** 5-4 M's and back to back homers by the Sox

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Sewald has now given up 4 HRs in his last 3 IP

Brutal.

 

[phillipmike]

f*** 5-4 M's and back to back homers by the Sox

M’s probably just increased their odds of winning this game.

Record in 1 run games: 30-18
All other games: 47-48

Those HRs against were strategic.

Blue Jays in September are collectively hitting better than Vladdy has all season.
