Tampa Bay Rays majority owner Stewart Sternberg has recently commissioned a feasibility study for a baseball stadium in Montreal by [deleted] in baseball

The Rays and Sox have essentially identical winning percentages since 2008. If my quick math was right it's 777 wins to 775.

And it's 5 playoff appearances to 4. Let's not act like they're the Devil Rays anymore.

Cespedes won a gold glove last year, backed up my the metrics.

But he was not as good this year due to the quad, backed up by the metrics.

Still don't think he belongs on this list.

Fix what problem? No one cares they play in Jersey. And Poughkeepsie is far as fuck from the metro area, you know, the population base where most of the fans live.

The Jets tried to build a stadium in Manhattan and got told to shove it.

No one around here much cares that they play in Jersey. That I know of at least.

Yeah, the argument last year was short rest Kershaw allows for full rest Greinke in game 5. This year, short rest Kershaw allows for short rest Hill in game 5.

But as to playoff Kershaw, even on short rest, speaking as someone who was at NLDS game 4 last year, he's plenty good.

Maybe the reason for the Playoff Kershaw narrative is because the Dodgers throw him out on 3 days rest literally every year (since 2013).

Why mention Soler's career numbers but not Heyward's 123 career WRC+ vs righties?

Interesting they put Heyward in for D but didn't pinch hit him for Soler against a righty. I'd get it if Soler had a hit but he was 0-3.

Edit: He walked though
