  1. Barnstorming, clam chowder AND fighting off the Montauk Monster in one offseason? Probably didn't even have time for pole sitting.
  2. If that's the cost, Breslow isn't making that trade. If he already passed on Cease and Salas, he's passing on Clase.
  3. Kiké most likely out. Mookie probably out. Aramark concession workers now most likely out for the full series. Will fans be sneaking in food and beverages in the way I did back in the 90's and early 00's? We'll see!
  4. He injured the same wrist in '22. Maybe it was something that still kind of lingered?
  5. Also, they had a uniform advantage. They had fabric the helped them breathe. Cotton is king! Modern players couldn't dream anything could be so soft and fluffy.
  6. Dodgers are 4-11 in their last 15. Sheehan generates a lot of chase, so his numbers may be a little deceiving. Sox may do worse than the 4+ ERA suggests. Bello has been great at home (648 OPS). Overall since June 1: 2.81 ERA, 3.87 FIP, 7.2 IP per start. Kiké is out with an elbow injury and is most likely missing the series. Mookie may miss tonight's game due to personal reasons.
  7. If we traded Duran for Cease and Abreu in a larger deal for Ryan, we'd have no offense, but the pitching would be: Crochet day Cease day Ryan day Bello day Giolito day It looks great on MLB the Show!
  8. Sean McAdam of MassLive provides further details on the situation surrounding Duran. He suggests that while a deal involving Duran is “likely” at some point, the Red Sox are inclined to hold off on making such a deal until the offseason. McAdam then goes on to note that the Padres offered Boston a three-player package of right-hander Dylan Cease, top catching prospect Ethan Salas, and an additional prospect not named Leo De Vries that was “quickly rejected.” That’s a fairly significant offer, particularly given the fact that the Red Sox had reportedly expressed interest in Cease previously in conversations with San Diego this summer.
  9. The illest.
  10. Top of the first, nobody on, no outs and Duran on? Bunting!
  11. In order: Eury Perez Edward Cabrera Ronny Henriquez Lake Bachar Sandy Alcantara Cade Gibson Anthony Bender Cal Quantrill
  12. That was FCL's last game of the season. Expect a bunch of promotions, IL adjustments and releases. The domestic reserve lists is at 153/165 and they signed 21 draft picks and UDFA's.
  13. I wouldn't trade Duran for Clase straight up, let alone add prospects to the deal.
  14. Duran AND prospects for a closer? I don't see how that would work for any of Breslow's models. I think Clase should turn things around, but that price is way too steep.
  15. I think it comes down to a few things: 1. The way the players train and how their bodies are built. I think their overall build these days is more prone to injuries. 2. The constant max effort (especially in terms of pitchers and spin/velo) directly influences injuries. 3. There is a lot more $$$ in the game today. To protect your investment, it's better to hit the IL than do whatever it takes for a playoff run.
  16. Oh, CAREER performance. Well, then you should worry about his 4.32 ERA in MN, not his current 6+ ERA I guess! Obviously he's going to trend that line down by the end of the year, so we should be looking for some sweet positive regression!
