Let's ask our baserunning guru @dougglanville This is where the 3B and the runner were at pitch release - runner is 8.6 feet from the near-corner of the 3B bag - fielder is 15.2 feet from the near-edge of the 3B bag How much more should the runner have been down the line?

This is easily the best piece I have seen on the Dodgers/Jays matchup so far (I'm sure Fangraphs and Baseball Prospectus will have good stuff soon). It was no surprise when I scrolled up after reading it to see it was @mike_petriello who penned it. https://t.co/4R4MuxmjRH

By Game Score, Trey Yesavage's postseason debut (78) is the second-best start in Blue Jays playoff history, behind only Dave Stieb's eight shutout innings in Game 1 of the 1985 ALCS.

Having watched Trey Yesavage all season long, and having talked to many people in the organization about him, this Doug Ault Fan Club charter member says this is the best handling of an elite prospect in franchise history. Tony Fernandez comes a close second.
