@npthree@GBROSS8@TalkinBaseball_ 13th in all of baseball in xERA and FIP, 6th in SO, most total Ks since 2020 of any pitcher in the majors.
"league average"
@mrmxy5d@BlueJaysExpress@MLBNetwork@jonmorosi 2B is not more important than 3B. The only reason 2B requires more "quickness" than 3B generally is because you're involved in more double plays. ~70% of hitters are RH, more balls go to 3B than 2B.
@Courtsidecom @xer0alta @MLBNetwork@officialBBWAA Everything has context. Blue Jays more talented on paper, sure. But the AL East was a lot stronger of a division. Record wise Cleveland was a worse team this season, meanwhile the Jays went last to first with almost the exact same roster.
@T_Bone2126@TodayJays@BNightengale Be sure to account for Vlad's extension kicking in next season at around 12m a year more annually than he got this year. Plus any other player in pre-arb/arbitration who will get a slight pay increase. It adds up.
@T_Bone2126@TodayJays@BNightengale Jays wouldn't spend this much. Our payroll next season would be basically the same as the Dodgers if this happened, if not even higher.
@oliviatweets_ The difference is Trey has a truly elite 99th+ percentile splitter, a unique delivery point that very few starting pitchers have, and clearly (unlike Manoah) isn't scared of big moments
@TyGuy9 @DavidforToronto @diana10ka@MLB@Feinsand He came into the league as a starter, and it's very possible that stretching him out to be a starter again is in the cards, though he seems to perform better out of the bullpen
@K_Why23@BBGreatMoments well yeah but in the moment and how fast the ball is coming at you, he probably didn't realize the ball was uncatchable by the catcher
@MRE1821 @GolfDigest You realize not every PGA tournament has all the top players in it right? This one has all the top 30. Less total players, but average quality of golfer is much higher.
@AveryChenier I'm surprised at all the 6 inning predictions. We're coming off a day off, bullpen is fresh, Bieber's first start. Very unlikely he goes more than 5 IP unless pitch count is very low/dominating. 4.1 IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
