  1. If I was a Dodgers fan trying to analyze why we still haven't won it all, it's pretty hard to get around the fact that our first ballot HOF ace Kershaw has not had his best games at times we've needed them the most.
  2. And that question is impossible to answer too, of course. Heck, our friend Slasher has determined that the 2018 Red Sox would have won it all without Mookie.
  3. Make that 6 good postseason games.
  4. Dempster has an estimated net worth of $50 million. (Still a fool, I know...)
  5. Stop making fun of Nathan. What are the odds he has loose bodies 3 years in a row?
  6. Our new head of ops has insulting nicknames before he even makes his first mistake. Good times!
  7. We have quite a history of trades with San Diego over the last decade: Gonzo, Kimbrel and Pomeranz.
  8. I think you're right, and the current cheating scandal was pretty much a natural consequence of that mentality, plus the easy access to live video. I think Manfred and MLB made a huge blunder not seeing this coming.
  9. I'm not sure why you're opposed to managers being allowed to request a review altogether.
  10. Now it's reached a peak. -It started with Henry making the statement about cutting payroll. -We're all waiting for some big trade to happen, but nothing happens. -Our new guy has no money to work with and has signed only the Thriller P's. -The Houston cheating scandal reaches its day of decision and we read in horror that our manager is outed as a key player. He is soon our ex-manager. -The Boston cheating investigation drags on and on with no resolution. We've heard J D Martinez swear innocence, but there seems to be statistical evidence against us. We might be getting whacked like Houston did. -We still don't have a new manager. -The most exciting development is that Mookie Betts might be getting traded.
  11. Well, I'd say this is now officially the offseason from hell.
  12. You can also take away the video and keep the current system in place except managers have to use the naked eye, just like the umps. I think that's a sensible compromise.
  13. The only good thing is that the AAV for tax purposes is a lot less than that.
  14. After the Yankees scored 29 runs off Sox pitching in 2 games in London, the main thing Cora talked about was how valuable Beltran was. That raised eyebrows even at the time. Beltran was clearly one of the architects in the Houston scheme. The Yankees hired him as a special adviser. In 2019 their offense had an amazing year despite all the injuries. It's not just grasping at straws.
  15. This thing could easily go down the same path as steroids, with congressional hearings, testimonies under oath. There's some chatter about that already.
  16. The checkbook has been in the safe since the Eovaldi signing. Unless you included the extensions for Sale and Bogey, which we probably should...
  17. Maybe Carlos Beltran will write a book exposing it all, like Canseco...
  18. Whatever you think about the guy, does he really strike you as the type who would rather not play than play?
  19. It's the time of year for hope though.
  20. Some buzz that the Sox may be close to re-signing Moreland - for substantially less than his previous salary.
  21. Pretty hard to argue with that point.
  22. Still a lot better than not making the start.
  23. I would bet heavy that Price makes his first start, but I wouldn't bet much on the QS.
  24. Add this: 2018 Yankees Bases empty .776 Men on base .787 (11 points higher) Now I really smell smoke.
  25. Starting point: 2019 Yankees Bases empty .788 Men on base .884 (96 points higher) MLB average Bases empty .738 Men on base .784 (46 points higher) Is there smoke there? Don't forget all the surprisingly good seasons from former no-names.
