You're like a Big Ten fan whining about SEC teams not playing 9 games here, with the payroll stuff. 
Ask the West Coast teams who routinely had HFA in the Bowls who have to come east now how easy it is.Or the SEC fans bumping their gums because  Northern alumni are pouring now legal funds into their programs outspending their good ole boy bagmen

The strike called on Varsho in the 14th has no immediately made me change my mind on a system calling balls and strikes. One of the worst and most influential calls I have ever seen alter a series.

TORONTO (AP) — Mr. Splitty has returned.

Showcased by World Series Game 6 starters Kevin Gausman and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, split-finger fastballs have been used for 6.8% of postseason pitches this year, more than double last year’s 2.4% and up from 1.5% when pitch tracking started in 2008.

“There’s so many good pitches in today’s game — there’s so many good sweepers and sliders and cutters,” Gausman said. “I think the split is almost kind of a just a little bit different of an animal. You can recognize the spin and you can still have a pretty ugly swing on it if the metrics are right.”

Toronto used splitters a big league-high 9.3% of the time during the regular season, according to MLB Statcast. That was the highest percentage of any team since pitch tracking started in 2008, topping 7.8% by Minnesota in 2023 and Baltimore this year.
