    I actually switched to the spanish Fox announcers because TBS is sucking so bad at life.

    Au contraire. "Insult the Rays" mojo has gotten us two convincing wins and must continue.

    Did Dempster steal your lunch money in HS? Jesus.

    Again, this would be a non-discussion had he started Breslow on a clean 6th. Milk two IP out of him/Taz, and no need to overuse Uehara. Lackey was clearly gassed.

    How great would it be if the Pirates beat them in the NLCS? I like the Cards, but the Pirates deserve some success.

    None of this would be a discussion had Breslow started a clean 6th though. Lackey was clearly out of gas.

    I meant Longoria has a noticeable platoon advantage against lefties. The way i see it, Breslow should have started a clean 6th. Even though he's been good against righties, a big part of that is the fact that they've avoided using him against middle-of-the-order righties like Longoria, who'd been on a tear the last two weeks, and who hit lefties more the 150 OPS points better than righties this season.

    That's why you bring Tazawa for the righty. He has some trouble with inning in which there's a man on base, but Longoria's split is noticeable enough where you have to play that matchup. Zobrist has a better split against righties, but he's nowhere near as dangerous as Longoria. I bring in Tazawa for Longoria-Zobrist, and let him try to get at least two outs in the next inning, then Uehara for four outs. He also had Morales as a matchup lefty had he wanted to go that route, and Dempster has been converted to relief to deal with mid-inning matchups. He had options. I means six outs for Uehara, given the off-day.

    He was also notorious for overworking pitchers, especially young ones. I bet that Cueto's (and basically the entire BP's sans Chapman) arm troubles had to do with his firing.

    I posit that Farrell was actually pretty bad on Saturday. 1) Why go with a clearly tired Lackey in the 6th with a fresh BP and an off-day afterwards? 2) Leaving Breslow to pitch to Longoria wasn't disastrous, but it could have been. He has a noticeable platoon advantage against lefties.

    He shrinks under the bright lights.

    1) Bradley and Ellsbury are not mutually exclusive. 2 ) No one here can accurately predict what would happen in any scenario regarding JBJ and Ellsbury's respective production next season given Ellsbury's health (or lack thereof) and JBJ's rookie status. Bradley looked overmatched this year playing irregularly, but let's not forget the kind of talent we're dealing with here.
  22. User Name
    But if he's willing to stay on a reasonable deal, then an OF of JBJ-Ellsbury-Victorino would be nothing short of amazing.
  23. User Name
    The problem is that 84 postseason AB's of .764 OPS is not "consistently getting it done" and it a SSS. The good thing for the Sox regarding Ellsbury is that if we can identify his problems (health, skillset prone to sudden decline) so can other GM's. He may end up staying in Boston if no one is willing to massively overpay for him, and that is a very real possibility given his health issues.

    *Maddon. And i get the Ellsbury love, but i'd still be weary of letting a good playoff performance cloud my judgement about him. This is a guy who's had exactly one fully healthy season since 2009. One.

    Goddamn this is a good post.
