Didn't matter at the end of the day, but that looked like Lukes probably would have caught the ball instead; it's a 3-run homer for TB. WHEN the Jays do make the playoffs, I certainly hope the umpires stay the F out of the way. Some ridiculous calls against the Jays in the small sample size of...

Gausman with the sauce, 79 pitches through 7 scoreless innings... Edit: 87 pitches through 8 scoreless innings... Let him pitch the 9th! The complete game shutout at 100 pitches!

That 9th I was expecting s 13 homers given up in the 9th or later, he broke the club record at 12.

An assist to Altuve on both: he didn't expect the throw to third and wasn't hustling, and he took his time on the throw to first, where Vlad ran it out. Vlad should buy him dinner or something.

Sure.

I think it was a missed opportunity. I think they could have presented a case that would have passed the NHL's loose smell test.

Kucherov and Stone AKA Stanley Cup winners.

You sure can put someone on LTIR when it's known they could play before game 1 of the playoffs and never be held responsible. It's a fact.

Give him a break, time to heal, and add +$10M to the roster would have been my preference. Yes, we may not have faced OTT in the first round but $10M more in roster like a Jones and a Marchand would have helped.

Matthews should have been on LTIR, probably both legitimately and strategically, last season. Tkachuck (Jones and Marchand)... Kucherov... Stone... stupid math is gone.

Yes, you can compare those lines to FLD's.

I agree, it takes a team to win. Everyone can now be better allocated into roles and contribute in a more meaningful way. I still cannot believe that over the entire time of the core 4, they were never spread over 3 lines? We will never know. Depth scoring discussions drove me insane when the...

Who are the candidates? How about Manoah? I still think you let Hoffman try to find it for a little while longer.

It's a decent template for a deal.

I am optimistic about line depth, team toughness, goaltending, reliable D, and everyone having a meaningful role. Having salaries disbursed across all lines will help players feel more valued and important. JT's salary sacrifice should also help solidify the roster as a true team. Role the lines...
