Gotta make Treinen work harder than that...

Fathom won't want Ortiz hitting here. Treinen in early. Looks like Sasaki still the closer.

Should have just walked Muncy in the first place.

Francona would never have come back for the White Sox job...especially considering how he was let go by the team in the 1990s.

Edman yet again. Uribe in with the series on the line.

F.Liriano used to throw his hard slider at 90. Misiorowski is at 96.

Brewers just 8 runs in their last five postseason games...something they never did during the regular season.

All depends on your feeling about winning with Canseco McGwire and Pujols. https://www.riverfronttimes.com/albert-pujols-accused-of-steroid-use-i-know-for-a-fact-he-was-says-jack-clark/

Wasn't Jacobson a basketball player for the Golden Gophers? https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2024/11/29/24309114/cubs-name-casey-jacobson-assistant-pitching-coach Apparently five years with the Cubs as asst and also Driveline before that...

Blue Jays hitters vs. Ohtani https://stathead.com/baseball/vs/shohei-ohtani-vs-toronto-blue-jays 19/60 discounting Ty France's 3/20, 5 homers and 11 RBIs Blue Jays hitters vs. Glasnow .236 .313 .416 .729

That's just it. There's no way in hell they add 5-6 guys to become truly competitive in the division. At least two starting pitchers, two in the pen and two impactful hitters like Naylor or Okamoto.

Sure...but the Dodgers only gave up 3.34 total runs per game (earned and unearned) over their final 41 games. 12 times out of 41 they allowed five or more runs...but I'm sure the majority of those starts were not Snell Yamamoto Ohtani and Glasnow. All four of those starters would be chosen by other teams over Kevin Gausman, Toronto's #1, at this point in the season. And Yesavage just got rocked his last start and seems to be affected now by social media critcism/heat directed at his family and friends. Anything is possible...but that LA lineup hasn't been close to firing on all cylinders in the postseason as of yet.

One of O'Hearn or Bader and Mullins on 1 year deals would be a nice offseason to me. All three finished playing for contenders. They won't talk to the White Sox until/unless it's a last possible resort. Only Mullins might be in that boat based on?his finish with the Mets. What does another Michael A. Ticket do for the Sox in Year 3 of a rebuild?

This series just turned on a dime... 74-5 Toronto record when scoring five or more runs.

Rout is on??? Someone's going to get injured by that trident eventually... Go George Bonds (Jorge)!!! 24-7 home winning streak

Burden is trending upwards...36-39% usage, especially if Moore isn't 100%. Warren and Cam Skattebo in particular are two players that take a ton of hits due to their running styles. Will be interesting to see how that holds up over time. "A lot of that work is coming in like that design game. So part of me wonders like how much is he really adjusting to this playbook, to the NFL, how much do they trust him there because 50% of his targets right now are like those design screens, that sort of thing. He has that flea flicker as well. But even if you take out the flea flicker, his yards after the catch, are over 6. So really good there, still getting lots of design work, which means like they're trying to get him involved. The targets per route is really good. Just can he take that next jump as the next step? How much of a bump would you expect if he's at 36%, which was not because DJ Moore missed time." yahoo fantasy sports

Ramos was rumored to be moving to the outfield. Then Vargas has some experience out there as well. Maybe think outside the box and try Japan or Korea? https://risingapple.com/ny-mets-3-japanese-stars-2026 Okamoto for 1B/DH is an obvious one...but likely to a contender like the Red Sox, who already have Yoshida. Mets if Alonso departs. Tatsuya Imai SP "Tatsuya Imai is looking to get posted by the Seibu Lions and make the jump to MLB, bringing a right-handed arm that could be exactly what the Mets are searching for. At 27, he just completed the best season of his eight-year NPB career, posting a 1.92 ERA, a 0.89 WHIP, and 178 strikeouts in 163.2 innings. His performance underlines both dominance and durability, showing he can handle a full workload while keeping hitters off balance with his mid- to high-90s fastball and a mix of slider, splitter, and changeup."

Imagine a manager with realistic championship aspirations in Chicago. "Nearly 20 sources — 12 of them who worked with Shildt on a daily basis during the season — have in recent months characterized Shildt as unyieldingly demanding of his coaching staff and the team’s support staff and as having a tendency to micromanage and possessing a quick temper that is easily triggered by questioning or feedback. In a nearly two-hour conversation on Tuesday, Shildt repeatedly declared he is proud of his accomplishments and how he conducted himself and said more than once that he is “walking away with my head held high.” He was taken aback by the depth of some grievances about him and disputed that he had acted inappropriately, though he did not deny he was aware of a certain level of discord. He almost exclusively attributed that to some staff members not being on board and/or not knowing what it takes to be part of a championship effort."

Same in St. Louis. They let go a manager who led them to a miraculous comeback to get into playoff contention. Weird.

Francona >>> Venable White Sox maybe more desirable than Marlins for employment?

Would be interesting to know what Barfield is getting paid now vs AZ. Same with Gene Watson in KC...that was more of a lateral move. Hahn as Asst GM is the only one we really have any reason to believe was highly compensation those last 3-4 years before 2013.

The Tigers and Mariners delivered a classic on the field and an outsized audience on television as nearly nine million viewers watched their marathon Game 5. Friday’s Tigers-Mariners American League Division Series Game 5 averaged a Nielsen-estimated audience of 8.59 million viewers on FOX (8.73M across all Fox platforms, per Nielsen and Adobe Analytics), marking the largest audience for any Division Series game since Tigers-Yankees Game 5 on TBS in 2011 (9.72M). Seattle’s marathon win increased 17 percent over last year’s seemingly higher-profile Dodgers-Padres Game 5, which aired in the same Friday night FOX window and averaged 7.3 million. sportsmediawatch.com
