Game Threads Toronto at Seattle, May 9-11
I've been told it's always darkest before the dawn. Oh really?

At the moment, the city is somewhat preoccupied with the playoff performance of the local hockey team. This is allowing the local baseball team to stumble along with no one paying all that much attention. But any Leafs fan can affirm that it might be unwise to count on this situation lasting much longer.

This seems like a good time to get out of town. So I have.

Fri 9 May - Gausman (2-3, 3.83) vs Castillo (3-2, 3.29)
Sat 10 May - Francis (2-5, 5.66) vs Evans (1-1, 7.20)
Sun 11 May - SomeGuy (?-?, ?.??) vs Miller (2-3, 4.15)

Over/under on the Blue Jays scoring more than 10 runs this series (3.3 runs per game)?

I'll take the over, happily. Team is too talented to play this poorly offensively for much longer.

Feels both fortunate and also unfortunate to have this level of talent and historical performance to have this record. Better times ahead.

I'm paying attention every night. And the Leafs will be in the Cup vs. the Oilers. There, I said it. Sorry Leafs fans.

Seattle has been one of the best teams in the league. I could easily see a sweep, even though I hope for a turnaround with both pitching and hitting.

Odds are we score more than 10, but the Seattle batter's eye is apparently weird, it's the most extreme pitcher's park in MLB. Could be the right time for SomeGuy to get a chance.

"The manager’s role, to me, is line-up card, substitutions, overseeing the coaches, and some clubhouse management. So, yes I think the overwhelming majority of complaints belong solely with the players."

I guess it I would reach same conclusion if I thought that's what the role was. I see the role more active, like the pitching coach of the Angels who came out and told Soriano to stop throwing his fastball.
