I am faster than Yasmani Grandal. 

Vogelbach and Rizzo at the same speed.  I guess it's because Rizzo gets hit so often, affecting his running.

Have they begun to put sand on astroturf playing fields.  Last decade I see sand come up when there is a hit in Tropicania Field and now I am seeing it in Toronto.  Is this a new technique?

Someone will be here to remind you that our bullpen isn’t that bad or something. 

3.65 ERA... 11th out of 30 teams.

1.16 WHIP ... 5th best out of 30 teams.

0.85 HRs/9 ... 10th best out of 30 teams.

3.97 xFIP ... 14th best out of 30 teams

Seems pretty safe to say an above average bullpen, possibly top 1/3  in MLB.

Certinaly not as dominant as the pens on our 4 most recent playoff teams.

TOR may need a roster move for tomorrow's starter.

Bowden Francis maybe looks like reasonable name of AAA Buffalo as I believe Tiedemann, Yariel down in combination with Manoah hurting his elbow last turn.

Trevor Richards led bullpen game with the 13 they have now, but Richards would be on 1 day rest.

4-game series, recent injuries...could be some value trying to work them with the last 6 outs.

    • I just got power on in Savannah, I hope those we have not heard from are well.  
    • I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer. 
    • I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.
    • Maybe a groundball back to Cano.  
    • They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?
    • I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.
    • I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
