27 weeks × 6 days is 162. So it's doable in theory but the existence of 2 and 4 game series makes it challenging in practice.

Shohei converted to a toe tap once he hit MLB because he had trouble catching up with fastballs. Maybe Holliday can experiment with something similar.

I don't know what to make of his absurd statcast data. There's no shot he's Shohei vs RHP, is there?

Well, Slamtander did!

Are you talking about strike 3? He didn't look like he came close and HP ump gave a called strike signal.

This is wildly beyond what I expected from Means.

We've got 4 of a kind of bradish stays in form and Grayson comes back! Imagine if Irvin keeps playing like this and he has to come out of the bullpen in the playoffs!

Oh, I'm blaming the HP ump.

Jorge takes a ball, gets called a strike. Pitcher then throws 2 more balls in the exact same spot and predictably Mateo can't do anything with them.

If Elias makes this trade someone needs to check to see if he got a lobotomy.

With Guerrero unable to get himself right and whatever the hell is going on with Manoah it was easy to see a path where they'd implode. I did kind of expect the Rays to put up more of a fight. They still looked like a team up until the bitter end last year. But between their all star shortstop being stuck in the minors, and their pitchers' UCLs all exploding I guess it's a lot to lose.

I've got to think that as long as we keep winning we trade for some bullpen help. Kimbrel is fine and it's good that he's a vet that figure stuff out in between outings, but he's 35 and can't be relied on for nearly the same workload as we leaned on Felix for.

Craig KKKimbrel. edit: wait a second...

Did Kimbrel finally remember where the strike zone is?

Imagine continuing to be a home plate umpire while you can't see. actually, that's just like every game with Angel Hernandez.
