Of course, Randy Johnson relieved him on zero days rest in that game 7 after pitching 7 innings in game 6.

Johnson storming out of the bullpen like a man possessed is one of my favorite baseball memories.

That level of ace pitcher is very similar to a fighter pilot, they have insane self-regard and want the ball in the most dangerous situations. Gerrit Cole was livid after Hinch left him in the pen, so much so that he donned The Boras Hat.

Will always fondly remember Joe yanking Hendricks on like 60 pitches in the 5th even though he was in absolutely minuscule trouble because Maddon had already pre-scripted that Lester would come out of the pen on short rest. Then Lester immediately gave up the inherited runners and after the game basically said "coming out of the pen sucked, I have no idea why they made me do that, please never make me do that again."

This is exactly what Dave did with Urias and Scherzer in 2021, except the consequences didn’t materialize until Scherzer’s next game.

There is no good about finishing in last place lol. It's better to win 78 games and make the playoffs than 92 and be in 5th place.

It would be extremely cool if, the first year of 'balancing' the schedule, we get a display of just how stacked the AL East is. It would carry the implication that it was always around this good, and might've been even better.

It's cool enough that I would be able to appreciate that even if it was the Blue Jays finishing last. It is good to enjoy baseball beyond just constantly agonizing about minmaxing every run scored.

I think the point was "you should want this fate for the red sox, or I guess one of the other teams, and not the Jays"

I do want that fate for the Sox or the Yankees (or somehow both, that would rule). But I'm willing to accept it being the Jays, if that's what it must be.

yes, it also hosed up Urias’ schedule leading to both of them being gassed in the NLCS when the Dodgers essentially ran out of pitching.

The fact that they put all the design work *inside* the jersey is just bizarre to me. Maybe...maybe the pants will look cool?

The Royals finally DFA Hunter Dozier. His -2.6 bWAR is fourth worst in club history

He couldn’t hit but made up for it by being terrible in the field but I’m sure he’ll sign with the Yankees and hit 30 HR before disappearing forever.

Meanwhile the the Dodgers rotation in the past week has seen: Dustin May to the IL with a forearm strain (min 6 weeks), Julio Urias to the IL with a bad case of giving-up-homers-itis, and Kershaw to the bereavement list.

Bobby Miller will start tomorrow in Atlanta, Gavin Stone is also up and if they lose anyone else they’re gonna be out of pitching prospects to fill in.
