    I'm not Drewski. Take that argument up with him.

    How I'd rank other bad playoff teams: 2009: Swept by the Angels 2005: Swept by the ChiSox 1990: Swept by the A's Part 2 1995: Swept by the Indians 2016: Swept by the Indians Again 1988: Swept by the A's Part 1

    They stuck with the plan because it gives the best chance to keep the game 1-0 or 2-0 before the game gets out of hand. Unfortunately, the bullpen stunk. That's the way baseball has been heading for a while now. I understand the frustration, but when the went to Miller a second time, it's clear that it was an organizational mandate prior to the playoffs even starting.

    MIL was 3rd in runs last year too. They'll see similar postseason success in '26. What 20 HR team are you referring to? The '03 team was the best offense they ever had and got very, very close to a WS. They just had a frighteningly bad pen and Grady Little.
  5. mvp 78
    No, they need to be a well rounded team that can pitch, field and hit. I'd shoot for top 10 in all three. Right now, the hitting isn't there. Pitching and defense can help you pile up wins in the regular season against bad teams (like MIL does every season), but you are very likely to flame out in the postseason (like MIL does every season).

    Glasnow, Yesavage, Scherzer all had starts that got pulled before the 5th ended in the WS last year. Pulling starters early in the playoffs has been going on for a while now. It's just up to the bullpen to pull their weight.
  7. mvp 78
    Sure, AS A TEAM. If your team has an achilles heel like the offense was, they are not a good team.

    He said himself that he still had pain when he came back.

    For next season? Probably not a pretty picture. Breslow has made a bunch of moves the past two seasons. He's also left a lot of dead wood on the roster as well. Hard to say right now.

    They aren't looking at WAR TBF. They are looking at: bat speed, pull %, exit velo. They need to spend more time how to just simply learn how to attack pitches and pitchers rather than learning how to swing hard.

    513 OPS since coming off the IL. IDK how well he's going to play this offseason. With his body type, his career may be heading in the wrong direction.
  13. mvp 78
    Betts has been great since getting to LAD and people haven't been harping on his numbers. People even moved on from the Bogey talk early on. The only reason the Devers talk persisted is because the trade was (a) shocking and (b) it got rid of a huge asset that this team could really use right now. Again, I think people will stop talking about him sooner than later once posters try to stop burying Devers.
  14. mvp 78
    26 and in his 4th organization = journeyman The list of guys who followed that path and worked out is low.
  15. mvp 78
    We've talked about Tatis for years, but the Sox haven't tried to swing an offer. The Sox were looking to get Elly at the deadline. I think that's more likely this offseason.
  16. mvp 78
    Managers have been managing the postseason like this for several years right now. Tracy is just following Breslow's directive about starting pitchers and the 3rd time through the order in the playoffs.
  17. mvp 78
    You're the Owen Hull guy, right? To me, I just can't rely on guys that are injured coming back healthy (Roman, Crochet, Houck, et al). I can't rely on prospects who haven't performed to replicate their MiLB performance at the MLB level. I can be excited to see them, but I'm not going to count on them to be above average regulars from day one (think Xander 2014). I can't rely on journeyman types, especially guys who have only shown brief stretches of good to great performances (Mead, Gasper, et al). Seems like that's the majority of the roster right now unfortunately.
  18. mvp 78
    He said that he still had pain when he came back and that it got worse than ever during the WC game which is why he was shut down. I hope the Sox can get to the root of the issue and fix it. Rest didn't seem to do the trick. This guy was supposed to be the franchise and putting him out there when he was injured isn't smart to me.

    Don't count on that!

    The bigger names last longer in the overall discussion which is normal. We don't talk about Bogey anymore. We just slowly move on. When we get to next season, we'll probably not hear anything about Devers. TBF, it was an anti Devers post during his bad April that kept his name going at the start of the season. If that wasn't posted initially, I think we wouldn't have seen his name mentioned here.
  21. mvp 78
    Anthony was still injured. He shouldn't have come back.
  22. mvp 78
    The Cubs losing was less surprising as that team had no pitching, but was all offense.
  23. mvp 78
    Owen Hull is years away. I'm not going to even think about him in a BOS jersey yet.

    Same things we always do. There just won't be any games.

    Drohan pitched comparably to Jake Bennett TBF. Bennett 113 IP, 7.23 k/9, 1.67 bb/9, 3.65 ERA, 3.51 FIP, 2.3 fWAR Drohan 124 IP, 9.02 k/9, 3.18 bb/9, 4.19 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 2.0 fWAR
