re: Do we think Gayle would pay the 1st lax line if we went over it,

Paying the tax to have a shot at the title is one thing.

Locking yourself into the tax with a team that hasn’t been higher than 8th seed with a 4-1 loss and a 4-0 loss isn’t great.


Granted, this was a fricky year with regards to how good the west is, but finishing 7th in the standings then going 1-1 in the playin doesn’t lend itself to “Let’s lock in this lineup!”
