I don’t want anything to do with Bichette’s defense in the playoffs

Low key, him being a DH is best case scenario for this team


That's fine. We need his bat.

So long as he’s a DH, sounds like a great idea

I don't want Gimenez and his sub .600 OPS bat in there every game, either.

He can sub in for Bichette when we get a lead, which we're more likely to do in the first place with Gimenez on the bench.

“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Yes, relievers have been known to do that

I want Gimenez in every game as long as possible in the playoffs, best defender in the league as opposed to the worst defender in the league

Stop trying to push the chokeman nickname. You guys all cried when I started using Blowmano. Now you think it’s cool to come up with your own nicknames. I already came up with coughman, leave the nicknames to me, im much better at this.

Chokeman is better; I’ve called him a choker all season and there’s no rhyme or reason he’s gotten so much worse this year than the previous 2 seasons other than being a choker closer. It fits.
