    Awful.
    Fuck pinch runners.  Bit their ass for 2 losses
    For sure but Bichette couldn’t run at all.

    What a great game and series 
    I get why they did it but man Bichette was on fire.

    I had said if he gets hot the Jays have a chance.

    Taking him out may have cost them.

    Can we talk about yammamoto though?  Dude said he was available in game 5 after pitching a complete game the night before.

    He comes in for relief and gets the win in game 7.  That is one hell of a feat.

    Also game 6 and 7 ended in double plays.  One was more egregious than the other though.

    GREAT SERIES.

    Isiah Falefa's got some explaining to do ...  guess he already tried the obvious tactic of throwing his managers under the bus.  Still, you got fat max standing 5x further away ... plus sliding on a force play at home plate ... as a pinch runner.  Doh!


    is it still legal to go full Pete Rose into a catcher these days?  Probably couldn't have in this situation but that, theoretically, would have been awesome

    I went over this with people too.  I thought he was close to the bag so he wouldn't get doubled up on a line drive.  That's the only thing I could come up with.

    Baseball changed the rules of blocking Homeplate.  You can't anymore so no more barreling down the catcher.
    It changed when Posey got his leg broken.

    I don't have a problem with them all getting in. I'd let Mattingly in if Fernando does.

    Everyone else should have been in already.

    I'm surprised Delgados WAR is so low.  Was he that one dimensional as a player?

    Seems about right. If he were a shortstop he'd probably have a higher WAR. 17 years and barely over 2000 hits. A lot of homeruns but not huge numbers

    But the night before in game 6 they lost on a crazy double play being a step too far off the bag. Games much easier on TV than on the field of course

    IKF said he was told to stick close by the coach. did the coach tell him “take the 357th shortest of the 381 primary leads” taken in the series? it’s also being theorized he would have been safe if he had ran through home, rather than sliding. Jays had sooooo many chances.

    IKF probably learned bad habits with the yankees.

    You can write a 1000 page book with how many chances the Jays had and the times they screwed it up.
