mvp 78

Easy peasy

Get to see a no no tonight!

No, people want to fire him because this team has performed poorly and have played some really s*****, lacklaster and dumb baseball at times. This team was +184 just last year. Someone needs to be blamed for dropping over 60 runs with only losing one real player.

To each his own. For now, you do you.

http://www.pressherald.com/2017/09/18/tom-caron-red-sox-face-tough-decisions-in-choosing-playoff-roster/ Barring a development in the final two weeks, the smart move would be to put Porcello in as the Game 2 starter on the road behind Sale. Pomeranz would start Game 3 at home, and Fister gets Game 4. A tough break for Rodriguez, who could be to the odd man out. (article written before last night) Craig Kimbrel, Addison Reed, Joe Kelly and Price have their spots reserved for the playoffs. Fernando Abad and Robby Scott should make it as lefties. That leaves two spots available. It was telling that right-hander Austin Maddox came into Sunday’s game at Tropicana Field. He got out of a jam without giving up a run, and has yet to allow any runs in his brief major league career (121/3 innings). He throws hard and throws strikes, a good combination for the playoffs. He should join the group, as should Brandon Workman – a man Farrell went to three times in the 2013 World Series. That means Matt Barnes and Heath Hembree, two of the most-used relievers this season, would be the tough-luck leftovers. Farrell should have spots for four players on his bench. One will be a catcher, either Sandy Leon or Christian Vazquez, depending on that game’s starter. Another will be Eduardo Nunez, who will probably start each game at a different position. That leaves room for two others. Brock Holt has the most versatility, Chris Young the most experience and Rajai Davis the most speed. A tough call, but I would go with Holt and Davis. Young’s primary value is hitting against left-handed pitching, but he has hit just .189 against lefties this season. I think now ERod is in and Fister is out. Maybe Fister is now left off the roster? I don't think he has much upside in the pen. Rajai Davis over Young is an easy call. I just wonder if Holt is a waste of a roster spot. I think I'd rather have Lin or Marerro available as a defensive substitute.

I think we need some robot posters as well. I'd like to see more polls messed with to the point that TS loses its mind over weird voting results (which was a thing that would happen back in the SBF days).

@JackCurryYES In last 2 weeks, Yankees are 10-4 and they've gained a whopping 1/2 game on Boston. Tough to catch a team while relying on other teams.

Oh jeez, the girl back home gag. That never works out btw. Anyway, bj's aren't cheating, or so I've been told. Especially if you're still in college.

Bogaerts SS, Benintendi LF, Betts RF, Moreland 1B, Vázquez C, Devers 3B, Travis DH, Holt 2B, Bradley Jr. CF, and Pomeranz LHP.

If they win one series: one more year for Farrell. If they win two series: extension for 2-3 years. If they win the WS: extension for 4-5 years.

Well, Espinoza may not pitch in another game until 2019. He's far from a sure thing.

We feel sorry for you and your friends. Once you get married, you may never get another bj again... or so I've heard.

Please stop talking about thunder's dome.

You ARE in the tri-state area. I was talking about people outside of the tri-state area not having much of a leg to stand on.

And even the day Devers brought him up you were still thinking that it was the wrong decision. Stop doubting the future HOFer.

If they make it to the WS, they should give him an extension even if they end up losing.

@SoxNotes Andrew Benintendi has 4 game-winning RBI in extra innings, the most by a Red Sox since Clyde Vollmer had 4 in 1951 (via @EliasSports).Red Sox‏Verified account @RedSox The word here would be "CLUTCH." If you don't believe in clutch, you don't believe in the Red Sox.

Anyone in the tri-state area gets a pass on this from me. No doubt.

I'm happy to be an outlier. One of the first things my dad taught me in the 80's while I was falling in love with baseball was that I could like any team I wanted to, but never the Yankees. I've passed this down to my son as well. At fall baseball last weekend, the coach was wearing a Yankees jersey and asked if the team could be called the Yankees. My son replied with "are you kidding me".

He's a fine writer and has good insight. He's just really boring on tv.

Fire Farrell. Fire Amaro. No more boneheaded plays.

I understand your reasoning. However, if you don't live in the tri-state area, it shouldn't really matter all that much imo.

What's the difference? Unless you're surrounded by annoying Yankees fans, it shouldn't matter who they lose to.

I don't care who they lose to. It makes no difference to me if it's the Yankees or some other ballclub.

Way to go champ...
