No one is better than Nolan...... And he did throw a 108 mph fastball..... But yeah The Miz is special no doubt IMO in his own way..... Just like I said a month before all these fucking donkeys and "experts" at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/CBS Sports etc etc etc.

My fave Nolan story..... When he broke the K/SO record for a season.......
No one is better or ever will be better than Ryan or be better than what he did here in Anaheim with the Angels.....
A record that still stands to this day 50+ years later and will stand for the rest of time or as long as Im alive IMO.......Hats off to a true and real legend......
The best who ever lived on the mound and the best that touched and will ever touch a mound.......
"I have enough left to strike out one guy"........
383.......

Maybe Mookie should worry about his game and Yamamoto almost getting a No-Hitter.... No thanks to his sorry ass and below average production on the field this season...... Vs WokeTard BS in general and his hip Podcast

I mean not as sexy as OPS and ERA leaders..... But these guys defense makes a difference in winning and losing as well.....
DRS and OAA Leaders.....
Notice Pete Crow Armstrong is a top 3 or better in both stats...... Making him an aircraft carrier along with his hitting and offense.....
Armstrong is top 3 in DRS and top 2 in OAA only behind Bobby Witt Jr in that metric of OAA and ahead of Bobby in DRS...... That says it all about Pete and good stuff *_*

The-Kids Flashbacks...... this is how to save Baseball in the upcoming CBA...... NVM what the other fags and "experts" in the industry think, are saying or anything else.....
What if there was a Variable Luxury Tax.
So if youre a team like the Dodgers, Yankees etc etc you get taxed even higher than usual after passing the threshold and the threshold is also lowered from the 244 million now to a lower number for example 220 million or 10%. You keep doing it and spending above the Luxury Tax you get an incremental 3-5%+ lowering of the threshold even further and another 3-5%+ increase in the luxury tax.
This way there is no hard Salary Cap but a more proactive Luxury Tax and kind of makes both sides happy.
Anything before the new CBA is grandfathered in until the contracts expire and anything after applies.
You raise the floor too...... Place more value on bonus contracts vs just spending money upfront. Bonus contracts get a slightly lower tax or whatever makes sense...... You also raise the floor....
This just makes a lot more sense than a Salary Cap.

Amongst 5 players with a BsR of 3.7 or higher Bobby Witt Jr ranks 2nd in MLB, 1st in the AL with a BsR of 4.2 and leads in the following categories amongst these few select top 5 BsR players :
Def : 15.0
Off : 11.7 (2nd in AL)
SLG : .456 (1st in AL)
OBP : .354 (2nd in AL)
BABIP : .322 (2nd in AL)
Clutch : 1.27
+WPA : 6.71
WAR : 3.8
Making Bobby Witt Jr the most complete Baseball player of 2026 and perhaps of our decade and maybe of all time......
He can hit, he has got the power, hes got the legs for speed, hes got the eyes and hes got the arm to field, he's got the strength..... And he does it all above average and makes it look easy.....
He has got all the 5 tools....
He is the complete Baseball Player, well rounded, balanced and consistent ..... Setting the tone for what AL MVP in 2026 looks like.
Projected for 10+ WAR and a 30+/30+ season.....

And it played out just like this pretty much exactly as I wrote and as far as the game plan went for both teams before it actually happened.....
Game 7 of the 2025 World Series as told by me before it actually occured......
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nov 1st, 2025.
For me IMO best plans for the Blue Jays is yeah get Ohtani out..... Don't walk him..... Attack him make him swing get him tired.... The more you get him tired on the plate the better chance you have against him on the mound as it's unexpected. He's expecting to get walked and IMO wouldn't mind it to work less and concentrate on the mound..... Don't walk him attack, attack and attack and get him off balance early.
Maybe walk him later in the game but early in attack when he's in the box and lay it on him on the mound. Force Glasnow out in a tricky situation and lay it on some more. The bats just have to come alive again, maybe focus on AVG vs SLG to get the fire going and go from there. They also got Chris Bassitt so maybe he can close the game or be a bridge between Yasavage and Bieber or he could be put in to relieve Sherzer. If things get leaky though use your best arms to stop the leak. Also Bo and Vlady Jr need to get their mojo going and getting it going like they have never done in their life.
Get length from Sherzer but if he needs to empty the tank to get the job done let him do it and bring him out after the 4th or 5th or maybe 6.1+ for Yasavage, Bieber or whatever makes sense but don't be afraid to use Yasavage and Bieber early if need be. If Scherzer can reach 4 or 5 innings call it a win. The pitching can hold it down IMO but the bats really need to come alive for the Blue Jays to win and they need to go off like they did in Game 1.
For the Dodgers best plan is simply to have Ohtani dial in but don't over work him, build up that defense behind him. Sho will bring gas but on short rest in between starts he's not going to be 100% possibly to go long. Use Sasaki or Glasnow maybe not immediately but as soon as there is real trouble and go from there. Don't forget Snell and even Kershaw.
The Blue Jays I expect are going to be dialed in learning from tonights loss and well the only guy that has really given them trouble is Yamamoto otherwise they have showed the kinks in the Dodgers pitching in general...... So use your best when you need to and don't depend on the bullpen unless you absolutely must. If you need to have Glasnow or Sasaki relieve and close the game that may be the best option.
It would be ideal to use Glasnow for a Game 7 to start but then you really wouldn't be able to use Ohtani unless you took him out of the DH role since he didn't start the game in that scenario and the Ohtani-Rule wouldn't apply there. This is why in order to use Ohtanis arm and keep him as DH it's best IMO to use him to start and then go Glasnow or Sasaki etc etc or whatever makes sense from that point on and the Ohtani-Rule would apply allowing him to continue to DH since he would start the game in that scenario. Glasnow could be started and then Ohtani could be used as a bullpen arm and that is also possible but again a more risky option IMO but possibly viable...... Sho could be used as a reliever, removed as DH and then be put in the Outfield but that is probably the most bat shit crazy thing anyone can imagine or think of but at this point who the hell knows. Anything is possible

But even more impressive than my Game 7 Projection was my Game 6 of the 2025 World Series Projection......
Which again played out exactly as I said before it actually happened or thought of by the "experts" in the industry or imagined by anyone until it actually happened and occurred.....
Because there was no better way and it was the best strategy anyone could imagine or come up with.....
No better way than my way.
And not just Projected by anyone..... But by this schmuck from Anaheim, CA.......

Dodgers Plan A is to use Yamamoto and have him go for as long as he can and go 9 again if possible.
Plan B IMO is if need be use Sasaki earlier than needed don't wait to save him to close, all hands on deck to win now.
Plan C IMO is if they get to Yamamoto very early........ Use Sho or Glasnow to bridge to Sasaki or use Sho and Glasnow to relieve and close the game...... This is the craziest plan of all three but at this point it's going to take all the kings horses and all the kings men to put the Dodgers back together again.
Plan C stands for chaos......
It may not make sense because then who pitches tomorrow but at this point the Dodgers need to play like there is no tomorrow if the World Series is to go to a Game 7.

The-Kids Flashbacks.......hats off to Willie and the greatest catch and best defensive play of all time.......
"The Catch".....
And given the distance and the park..... A catch like that at Polo Grounds wasn't just any catch..... I think people forget that or don't talk about it enough.
If you truly stop to think about it what is the probability/likelihood of a catch like that being caught running that distance in such a short period of time, with your back against the ball as youre chasing it down combined with how hard that ball got hit and it's exit velo just shy of that fence......
Nvm the type of ground a player in the outfield has to cover on a field like at Polo Grounds given the dimensions..... Nvm that this is even before analytics/statistics, computers or the fucking StatCast Era
I would not be surprised if it were 0% and impossible for just about anyone else other than Mays.....
A catch with a 0% chance/probability/likelihood of being caught that is caught.......
Now ain't that truly something and nothing short a true miracle on the field and this green/blue Earth.
Willies incredible feat and "The Catch"...... At Polo Grounds means that much more and you'll never have anything like that ever ever again....... We all know "The Catch" but yeah I mean the context behind it which isn't talked about enough IMO gets lost...... I've seen some good ones in my life but never one like that and probably won't ever see one like that ever in real life or otherwise......
Here's to you Willie "The Say Hey Kid" Mays ...... Up in a field of dreams
