That was about as bad as it gets…Jays fan here… now I know how fans of the Laffs feel.
I agree.I said at the deadline that Atkins remembered me Marc Bergevin and i stand by what i said. Trying to find the diamond in the rough by acquiring guys not good enough for other teams while refusing to pay the price to get real help. If he stays GM he'll waste this core.
Well sometime you are either lucky or have superior pro scouting but that's not what i would call a good and reliable strategy overall. Yes you can find the Martin St Louis gem but 99 out of 100 you'll find a guy with limitation who can play a small role but wont move the needle.I agree.
Although, this exact approach helped AA win a World Series last year with the Braves adding Pederson, Soler, Rosario and Duvall.
I think it sucks even more than hockey. It's a long 162 games season where you have to avoid injuries. It's harder to make the playoffs If you want to avoid the first round where you can lose in two games you have to finish top 2 in your league. Then after all that the real playoffs start where you have to beat a rich team who spent without limit stacked with players having by themselves a bigger contract than an entire NHL team.Jays fan here… now I know how fans of the Laffs feel.
Now the Padres need to knock off the Dodgers!One down, one to go.
ClevelandWho does everyone have as their picks for the Divisional Series?
I’m going with:
Yankees
Mariners
Braves
Padres
Yankees, Astros, Braves, Dodgers. No upsets , all the top seeds move on. The Padres winning would be nice though, sadly I just don't think they have the hitting depth to match LA.Who does everyone have as their picks for the Divisional Series?

Another article about Haaland's pace again. 'He ticks all the boxes I want a track athlete to tick' - Haaland the sprinterAnyone following what Haaland is doing at Man City? 14 goals (and 3 assists) in 8 matches. Yet another hat-trick at home today. Though Arsenal are keeping up with them for now in the League Table, this is shaping up as a juggernaut for Champion's League. For a guy that size, Haaland has unbelievable pace. Edit: measured at over 36 km/h.
