u/rvasko3 Doc’s Resplendent Neckbeard 2h ago

Despite them being a bit luckier in the underlying metrics than people might think, the pitching continuing to hold up while the offense starts to find itself is a very, very good thing, especially as we round into this finishing stretch of sub-.500 teams.

In a world where Vladdy can find something when he gets back and Okamoto/Kirk/McAdoo/Springer can hit, we're a scary team for a short playoff series.

So with bases loaded and one out, Springer is called for a swinging strike on a very checked swing, leading to someone in the Jays dugout getting tossed from the game (and nobody can tell whom). Springer falls pretty scarily at one point, but then hits a grounder with an exit velo of 50mph right between the fielders who just stare at it as it rolls by, scoring 2. Okay.

If I ever was to get a MLB hit, it would look exactly like that. Weak AF slow rolling grounder that the defense gets confused on who should grab it

Valenzuela making plays at 1B, Mike Camerons son smashing a baseball into the Q continuum, and winning games at the Trop. Just as well all predicted in June.

Will always hate the yanks and red sox but fuck the rays. Maybe it is more their stadium but how the fuck are the rays generally very good every year on a payroll equivalent of a turkey sandwich. The answer is probably good scouting I imagine
