Should just always assume a leafs playoff game is going to be a loss, will save you a few hours of your life.

So the trick is to predict Varsho will suck offensively before a game..hhmm

No. This is a pleasant surprise thus far not a prediction. Who predicted an offensive improvement from Varsho this season? Based on what? It was more like a hope that he could make some adjustments during the offseason.

I literally mentioned the fact that Varsho was an above average hitter in the last few months of 2023 no less than a dozen times over the past 6 months (and that he conceivably would/could do so again in 2024, particularly given what he was offensively with the DBacks).
So me?

It's amazing. It's been a time and a half through the rotation since our last rough start.

Your statement was that he was saving Toronto sports as predicted. Right now his OPS is way over his average ops with AZ and prior five seasons. A prediction based on the last two months of last season to AZ like statistics would make sense as one possible outcome. But predicting he would save Toronto sports? That's a stretch you ever made that prediction.

I would say that might have been more than a little bit facetious coming on the heels of the latest Leafs playoff disaster

Randle and his Secondary Account "Sensi" was singing Varsho's praises last April 2023, and another poster called Varsho "mini Mike Trout" last April. Varsho was a very good hitter for around two weeks in April 2023, and then was below average hitter the other 5 months. Give credit where it is due, Varsho had a solid last week after a difficult couple of weeks to start the year.
If he can prove me wrong and continue this for the next few months, I will gladly eat crow on Varsho. Varsho was not an above average hitter the last few months of 2023. Check out his OPS, On Base Percentage and BA each of those months, and it was below average to terrible.
No need to exaggerate and call him "above average" in the last few months of 2023 when we can read the data. However, this is a new year. If Varsho has discovered something with his swing, and can be a solid contributor offensively, I will be the first one to say it on here that the trade was not a gross overpay which I said it was.

Anyone feel like we are winning with defense right now? Of course pitching has given defense a good chance
Also is Kirk pitch framing really well now?

Cabrera and Swanson are pretty awful. Let's hope they turn their season around.
