There was nothing panicky about it. Those bean counter clowns in the front office planned it pre-game and were so confident in the efficacy of their plan that nothing Berrios did in those first 3 innings would have changed it.
The Jays' FO is emblematic of what analytics has done to the game of baseball more than perhaps any other team. [Reply]

And that's why old school guys like Terry Francona and Bruce Bochy get rehired because some in baseball still appreciate having some feel in the dugout instead of an all-numbers approach. [Reply]

The Jays' FO sees no benefit in such managers (which is why they got rid of John Gibbons as quickly as they could). Their last two managers have been nothing more than errand boys who do what they are told and follow the pre-game plans the FO sets out for them. In-game context or feel literally couldn't matter.

I had to look the stats on that HR up. Clase only allowed 2 homers this year and they both were solo shots. One was with a 3 run lead and the other he had a 4 run lead. [Reply]

Kerry Carpenter off Emmanuel Clase. He allowed five earned runs in six months during the regular season. He allowed three earned runs on this pitch, which came with two outs and two strikes. The biggest swing for Detroit in a decade. pic.twitter.com/yH7pjarcWP
