What a series. What a performance.

Both teams deserved to win.

All that matters is payroll and market size. Toronto came up just short of pulling off a massive upset

I know it's shocking to so many in the west, but what he did is basically expected and routine for ballplayers in Japan.

When's the last time you saw a team hit and pitch so well but lose?

I can't remember one. That was a tough loss.

Toronto has the 5th highest payroll in MLB

It’s nowhere close to the 5th biggest market however. That means their ownership is spending money instead of hoarding it. If there were a cap and a floor and market size were equal every team would be in it

Mets have the highest payroll in baseball and missed the playoffs

No. No he's not. He's Japanese. He is what Hitler hoped for.

His interview was amazing. He was amazed, as he thought what he did, which was expected of him, was normal.

fair enough, Toronto is a great team. But who won this game for the Dodgers? Miguel Rojas who is a mid-level guy and Will Smith who is home grown.

And is the 4th largest metropolitan area of any MLB team. And that doesn’t take into account that virtually everyone east of Alberta who follows baseball is a Jays fan.

You are correct that it’s not the 5th largest market in baseball. It’s the 4th largest, in fact.

People acting like they’re the Brewers or Reds or Rays don’t know what they’re talking about. They’re more like the Rangers, Astros, Braves, Phillies, and Giants. Not quite at the level of the Yankees, Dodgers, and Mets, but comfortably in the 1B tier of economic resources and market size to access.

After game one I said this about him:

If they beat Yamamoto tomorrow (IMO he’s the best Dodgers pitcher and trustworthy in these situations) I’ll have concerns about the series.


Feels good, man.

Deserved’s got nothing to do with it.

Maybe you mean to say either could have won it

So about $1 billion less than the Dodgers?
