I **** hate the Dodgers. Almost as much as I hate the Yankees.

There will be a lockout after next year. Pretty much a guarantee since the owners will not be budging on a Salary Cap this time around.

He’s been way more ‘wild swinging and miss’ lately. Not necessarily getting out more, just looks different doing it.

No reason the Jays can’t do exactly the same thing with Rogers

I would let him pitch until he can't anymore.

You gotta leave him in until he at least gives up one hit or walk.

at this rate, Snell is going to pitch the 7th inning with 3 guaranteed outs too. even with 90+ pitches already

Then you get Sasaki for two innings. Hoping we can get a couple of more runs somehow.

Last time someone had over 12 was in 2000. Crazy.


Pitchers not going deep is probably a big reason

Pitchers per starter is probably down more than 20% since 2000

Snell will probably pitch the 7th inning, but the Jay's are seeing his pitches. Chances are he'll probably struggle to close it out.
