Slightly lower xFIP in the second half (4.67 in first half, 4.46 in second). Not the sexiest numbers, but I'd take that for a 4th/5th starter over Bowden Francis/Eric Lauer just in case.

Looks like he's gone now (from Mitch Bannon at The Athletic). x.com/MitchBannon/...
Thanks for the kind words! It was a fun run this year, way more entertaining than last season!

Mitch Bannon on X: "Some #BlueJays news: Jays are losing assistant hitting coach Hunter Mense, per multiple sources. He’s taking a hitting coach job with the SF Giants, reuniting with Tony Vitello. Mense had been on the Jays’ big league staff since 2022. Leaves another hole on their staff" / X

Thanks for the kind words! I'm still remembering/getting used to the new platform here, hopefully this just springboards into more fun and excitement next year.

Think of all those games and all the moments the Blue Jays provided the fan base year. They were *that close* to crossing finish the line, but look how far they went. What a journey for this special team. They have everything to be proud of.
