2025 MLB Season

[Billy Hoyle]

So many base running errors for the Jays. 

[MU82]

That ground rule double was by beyond unlucky.  Changed everything. 

How? The score would have been 3-2 but Barger still would have been on second, dopey Klement still would have popped out on the first pitch (which was way out of the strike zone), and dopey Barger still would have been doubled off to end the game.

[CreightonWarrior]

Pretty key game in the series tonight.

[Uncle Rico]

Pretty key game in the series tonight.

The key to the game is focus and aggression.  Show no mercy like you're committing war crimes.

Game 7s are fun.

Can't believe Yamamoto and Glausman were pulled with pitch counts in the 90's.

So many base running errors for the Jays. 

That was the first 7-4 game-ending double play in postseason history.

I think it changes the mindset of both teams when it's a ome run game.  Klemet's at bat can't happen.  Nor can getting doubled played there.

It's why the Blue Jays lost

Can't believe Yamamoto and Glausman were pulled with pitch counts in the 90's.

Difference, of course, is Glausman had given up three runs and been an average starting pitcher all year, and Yamamoto had traffic on the basepaths every inning. Skubal had retired 14 straight batters and is the best pitcher in baseball.

No guarantee of a score on that play anyway, as we don't know how the ball would have bounced off the wall had it not gotten stuck. It still could have been 3-1 with runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

It's why the Blue Jays lost

That and poor revenue sharing amongst the 30 clubs.

Simply put it comes down to who has a better five point plan. The plan should include war crimes, darkness and a lineup no shorter than 6' tall.

People under 6' should be deported

Ah. So "changed everything" was your opinion. Which is cool. The way the Jays quickly butchered the rest of that inning, I don't think it would have changed anything.

[PointWarrior]

If the Jays spent money like the Dodgers, they would not have had dopey Klement ($1.9M 2025 salary) and dopey Barger ($706K 2025 salary) in those positions

How? The score would have been 3-2 but Barger still would have been on second, dopey Klement still would have popped out on the first pitch (which was way out of the strike zone), and dopey Barger still would have been doubled off to end the game.

Yup. The poverty franchise Toronto Blue Jays, who offered Shohei $700MM and gave Vlad Jr. a $500MM extension.

[SoCalEagle]

Go Dodgers!!!

[18thandWells]

Yup. The poverty franchise Toronto Blue Jays, who offered Shohei $700MM

No wonder they could hit Snell.

[wadesworld]

No wonder they could hit Snell.

Yes. It usually helps to have better players.

[18thandWells]

Yes. It usually helps to have better players.

I might need a list of "haves" and "have nots" for future reference.

[wadesworld]

I might need a list of "haves" and "have nots" for future reference.

"Did you offer a single player over half of a billion dollars" might be a good starting point.

[18thandWells]

"Did you offer a single player over half of a billion dollars" might be a good starting point.

That's not a list.

[GB Warrior]

I think the first team to establish the run will win

[tower912]

All about the 3 pt shooting.

[SoCalEagle]

Has Ohtani been announced as the starting pitcher for tonight's game.  I saw some speculation, but nothing official.  Is so, it should be a great game with Ohtani vs Scherzer.  If we can get 6 or 7 out of Ohtani tonight that should do the trick.
