Wonder whether something is wrong with Price.

... and just like that 5-3. Whata weird game.

Well, it will be a loooong game —in the good way LOL!

This has to be taken with a grain of salt. 1. If I recall well, 3 weeks ago or so, we were over the Stros in RDiff. The thing is, while Cora has been giving up games plus no Sale & no ERod in recent weeks, Stros have been playing at full capacity. 2. Regarding SP, a healthy Sale is better than Verlader —pitch by pitch. Price is arguably the best pitcher of the second half, and pitched better than Morton last time; in fact, Morton was kind of lucky —we hit him well. Also, we own Keuchel, remember last time? he was pounded and could be worse. He was lucky too. IMO he is overrated —LOB% and BABIP don’t lie through his career. You know what I think of Porcello, but I’d rather him over Dallas Keuchel any day of the week. 3. Regarding the BP, if you take out of the equation bums like Pomeranz, Kelly, Hembree, Thorn, etc. our BP match them pretty well —not to mention our closer is arguably the best entering into the POs. 4. Our offense in the top is better with 2 legit MVPs. Mookie- Benny- Pearce- JD-XB is a better nucleo. The bottom, while is a crap shot —if hot— is better as well Kinsler-Nuñez/Devers-JBJ. Also, we have a couple of great utility players in Holt and SWI who have shown that can hit in clutch situations. 5. Regarding Defense, our defense is the best of the majors if you don’t line up Devers. Kinsler at second is vintage Pedroia, and Leon catches very well our top 2 and calls the games like nobody else in the majors. Our CF and RF are gold gloves caliber players. Also, we have the HFA, and on paper we will face a weaker opponent in the divisions and will be more rested in a potential ALCS series against them. Said that, I’ll say it again. We will win the WS. So... bring me the Astros or whoever, we are set to win it all.

Some GMs should take notes of oldtimer.

I wasn’t that lost LOL! As I said in other threads, Pomeranz was my biggest disappointment, my expectations were high.

LOL! Guacamole goes well with everything.

LOL! Geeez even when he is not pitching, he inclines his neck.

106 W folks, AND officially with the HFA.

Wonder why Brasier is always with his neck inclined.

Kelly neither can pitch relaxed with a 5 R lead. He confirms he simply sucks.

You’ve got it Thunder, I was just kidding LOL! but... we are not going to lose again, save my words.

Kelly and Hembree with Pomeranz are some of the few biggest disappointments this year. Will be really unfair and will hurt us a lot if they make the POs. I don’t think Cora will make himself harakiri LOLl.

LOL! Good one.

Call it BS all day long but I’m conviced JD feels more confortable batting 4th.

Yeah... it was a bold move by DD. As you said, Leon definitely needs to rest all week long. I’m watching Betts dinger BTW.

Yes it does. If we win it all, I allow JH to rebuild the whole damn thing to avoid the freaking talksox cliff LOL!

jung is going to make the POs, just watch him.

As I said, Pearce should be our PO 1B.

I concur 100% with this. I’ll be surprised if Poyner doesn’t make it and someone of your 2-9 does.

Mookie is the best player of the majors, and it’s not even close. He will win it.

This line up would have won yesterday. Anyways, Let’s make official the HFA and the W-team record today.

I think Cora has been inconsistent a bit with the resting thing. Hembree and Thornburg could come back next year, but they are done like a month ago to make the POs. Pom? IMO he has been done months ago and will not come back next year. Regarding Cuevas, I think he has an interesting upside for next year, he is still young isn’t he? Said that,’Cora is a great manager, but even great managers don’t make sense at times.

I say let him walk.

The resting thing is inconsistent. If he wants to rest guys, he shall not start Moreland and Kinsler who are slumping and will make the POs. In fact if he wants to rest his key players like Benny, XB, JD and Betts, they shouldn’t play at all. I think he can “rest” some players while trying to win. I still don’t understand why he is still sending Hembree, Kelly, Pomeranz, etc. If they on paper won’t make the POs.
