MLB 2023

Yeah, I’m happy for the Twins and Twins fans. That’s a fun and talented team. They beat Toronto rather easily. The scores looked close but the Jays really weren’t close.

Just like that, two AL East teams are gone. Arizona and Philly ought to win tonight so we can move along to the Division Series!

Alright, who do I jinx now by rooting for them?
 
The Jays are getting blanked in the 7th. It’s only 2-0 but it might as well be 10-0. They can’t score. They’ve had plenty of runners on the bases. Can’t cash them in. Also, I have no clue why they pulled Berrios so early. He was going fine. It was just one walk in the 4th and his pitch count was low. I don’t think Schneider is a good manager… And don’t get me started on Vlad getting picked off at 2nd base. Ugh.
Based on what I have heard, the Jays analytic team decided that bringing in Kikuchi was what "the numbers" told them to do. Berrios was on fire!
Time to re-look at the decision makers for this team... and make changes. Typical Toronto team, spend money making the dome more inviting and forget about the team on the field.
Atkins and Shapiro have to go! As far as Vladdy is concerned, I'll quote Logan Roy from Succession... we love you guys, but you are not serious people!

Well, the Brewers had another ugly playoff series. How many times can you load the bases and not score a single run in the inning? Oh well, maybe the offseason will bring some good news. We should get a haul for Burnes and Adames. With our young guys, we could still have a competitive team for a couple of years.
