Watching Cavani go 1/7 on sitters is always entertaining.

It'd be nice if UEFA bothered to make their draw seem marginally not-rigged.

Josh Bellamy has worse hands than JPP

Clint hovering behind everyone like a malevolent ghost is just weird

Bradley's PK was one of the worst I've ever seen that was technically on frame.

Wow Stefan Frei. Taking your last attacking threat off the field is probably not going to end well for Seattle

I know it seems like an easy out but the fact that it's 15 degrees out is probably having a big impact at how imprecise the passing and touches have been in the final third. Jesus anyone but Ricketts scores there

Toronto has been markedly better than Seattle tonight. Kelly has done a garbage job managing this game. I know you don't want to show cards in a final but he's let way too much go. It's too bad Clint isn't in this game.

Is this some other Adam Eaton I'm not aware of?

You mean a month like October where he played like a cheat code for three weeks? Javy absolutely helped us get to and win a WS, I will never argue against that. There's still red flags all over him that he shouldn't be more than a platoon player/defensive sub. Also vs RHP in the playoffs.... .265/.280/.469 (.749) with 17 Ks and 1 BB in 49 ABs. Those numbers aren't godawful (well, the Ks are) when you consider they came against generally high level RHP and his overall numbers look good despite his pressing for most of the WS. If I'm not mistaken that was also the longest run of games he had in a row all year. Even with his WS dip he showed well. Who's to say he can't build on that when he gets to consistently face RHP not named Jansen or Kluber?

Having Javy as insurance if Addy gets hurt is what he's talking about. A 15-20 game stretch without Addy, puts the 35-40 starts Tim is proposing, as a reality. Having THIS type of quality depth is something no one else has. Its valuable. Got it. Well this scenario of not having Javy isn't that big of a deal to me over whoever the back up SS would be because Javy would be mostly a glove only backup, IMO, if he has to expand to a starting role for a ~month with not having the luxury of being protected vs RHP and facing favorable pitching matchups. You mean a month like October where he played like a cheat code for three weeks?

Seriously. I'm gonna extend the FO more than a one-month grace period after bringing us the first World Series in 108 years but that's just me You aren't wrong but I'd rather pay Jansen than deal for Davis.

Aren't forearm issues the precursor to an elbow exploding?

Seriously.

Trading Soler for Davis would be an inefficient use of Soler
