Great stuff here and a cut and paste from a subscriber article about Adrian Pinto from Baseball Prospectus. Worth the 6.99!

So what does Dodgers-Yankees do for the notion that the post-season is a crap shoot? When the team with the most wins in the AL meets the team with the most wins in the NL?

The Vancouver Canadians have shared their 2025 schedule, with the first home game scheduled for Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 against the Spokane Chiefs, their rival from the 2024 season and the NWL Playoffs.

And then there were four.

Preliminaries are out of the way. Eight teams still standing. But who do I cheer for?

We are more or less agreed that sometimes a team's W-L record doesn't tell their story clear and true.

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore

One more weekend.

And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on

There, there. It will all be over soon.

Season Four Episode 5 Vancouver Canadians Season Wrap Up with Vancouver Canadians Broadcaster Chris Georges.

Another minor league season comes to an end. It has not been one that will be remembered fondly. Only Vancouver made the playoffs. The other teams were lackluster and it required an injection of new faces at the trade deadline to create some interest in the last two months. Pitchers were falling like flies with most of the best pitching prospects needing Tommy John surgery. The best hitting prospect coming into the season missed time with a drugs ban. And yet the players who did get the call to the major league generally performed decently. And that is the minor leagues, the win/loss record doesn't matter, can you get one or two players a year to become part of your major league team? Fittingly Buffalo lost their last game.

Another loss for Buffalo but at least they scored five runs. Trenton Wallace could not escape the first inning. Josh Kasevich homered, again. Scranton hit four home runs, two by former Yankee Oswaldo Peraza.
