It wouldn’t be the worst thing for the Jays to offer a QO to Chapman. If he refuses, then you get an extra pick. If he accepts, then it’s just one year at $20.5, not 5 years at $30 per. I’m in the offer a QO camp, hoping he refuses.

As for Buck, I would not be surprised if this is his last season in the booth....so let's get down on one knee and savor the experience. I'll miss him.

I've loved listening to Buck over the years but yeah, he's lost his edge. Lot of slurred words, repeating exactly what Dan just said, trotting out the same few thoughts. I'll miss him too, but I think I would have missed him more if he'd retired after last year and just done five or six broadcasts this year.

The Dan and Joe booth has been quite good, I'm looking forward to more of that.

If they don't do this next season the marketing team has failed!

Imagine 40,000 people all having a nap during the 7th inning stretch! Oh yeah, Kikuchi is never allowed to pitch that deep.

> Was getting the sense from Wednesday night’s game that Buck Martinez doesn’t like it when catchers setup on one knee. Did anybody else notice this?

We may unfortunately never know his real feelings about catching from one knee. Or starting the runner. A mystery for the ages.
