Yesavage for game six. Bieber for game seven. This thing is getting really good…... wow! This team has some serious special character identity.

Now we just need one more Rogers Toronto Blue Jays promotional commercial featuring Jose Bautista as we head into the World Series....

looked up home field advantage and record states it is minimal, and does not exist like it does in other sports

2023 Texas Rangers went 11-0 on the road



standardization of fields

crowd noise does affect communication - think snap in football

the better teams are more equal

travel time has diminished


it does exist in the regular season as teams are not as equal


you would think crowd noise would inspire the home team but if the other team gets off to an early lead that disappears

The manager Schneider made huge mistake today!!! Why did he take out the starter pitcher while he was still hot? Every time he over coaches the team bad things happen. Very disappointed by Schneider!!!

Is that a mandatory to take the starter pitcher out at 5 or 6 innings? Can the starter pitch 8 innings?

Gausman had thrown 91 pitches so the analytics would evaluate that it was time to take him out in a close game.

Schneider says you make a decision and move on...Jesus the last 21 appearances he's had an ERA over 6 with a WHIP of 1.88..It's crazy to bring him in there.
It was an absolute SHONDA to bring Little into the game with a tiny lead and big hitters coming up.

I started screaming at the TV screen when I saw that, cuz I knew he was going to blow it.

I pray Springer is OK for Sunday...

Agreed! The only way the Jays could win the next two games is without Schneider the manager. I am sorry for the Springer's injury and wish him speedy recovery.

What a Joy to watch the Jays boys playing their ball game till the manager showed up and shut down everything!

Let's go, Blue Jays! Let's keep the excitement and fun going... Let's avoid all the noises or wrong coaches just hit the ball far...

I feel bad for him. I was watching his face in the dugout as the disaster worsened after he got pulled.

I don't blame Little. It's not like he was a great reliever for the past month or so, and screwed up this one time.

I put all the blame on Schneider for putting Little in the game when he had better closers available in this very important game.
