So what does Dodgers-Yankees do for the notion that the post-season is a crap shoot? When the team with the most wins in the AL meets the team with the most wins in the NL?
The Vancouver Canadians have shared their 2025 schedule, with the first home game scheduled for Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 against the Spokane Chiefs, their rival from the 2024 season and the NWL Playoffs.
Mike Wilner keeps ranting about Atkins saying making contact is
more important in the playoffs than home run power. Is that the case?
Lets take a look.
Another minor league season comes to an end. It has not been one that will be remembered fondly. Only Vancouver made the playoffs. The other teams were lackluster and it required an injection of new faces at the trade deadline to create some interest in the last two months. Pitchers were falling like flies with most of the best pitching prospects needing Tommy John surgery. The best hitting prospect coming into the season missed time with a drugs ban. And yet the players who did get the call to the major league generally performed decently. And that is the minor leagues, the win/loss record doesn't matter, can you get one or two players a year to become part of your major league team? Fittingly Buffalo lost their last game.
Another loss for Buffalo but at least they scored five runs. Trenton Wallace could not escape the first inning. Josh Kasevich homered, again. Scranton hit four home runs, two by former Yankee Oswaldo Peraza.
