    I'm a little surprised the Dodgers haven't added a starting pitcher. I know they have some young guys coming. One possibility is that the Sox and Dodgers talked about Price and the Dodgers said they'd like to see him pitch some real games first.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Price, though, carries the baggage of 2 more seasons on his contract after this one. So he'd have to be really dealing, and even then probably only the wealthiest teams would be interested.
  3. Bellhorn04
    To quote Slash again, pitching = parades. I buy that in the limited sense that acquiring a pitcher at the deadline is more likely to be a difference-maker in the postseason.
  4. Bellhorn04
    My guess is that even if the Dodgers get Betts, the Yanks will be WS favorites.
  5. Bellhorn04
    There is no obvious solution. Getting Betts for one year obviously guarantees nothing.

    If the estimate of Dempster's net worth that I posted is anywhere near accurate, I don't see how we can say he needed the money that bad. And it's pretty clear he didn't have any lingering desire to play again, because his cleats stayed hung up. 700hitter has talked about how a lot of ballplayers blow their money after they leave the game. I'm sure that happened a lot in the old days, but in the days of big money, how many players who made a lot have done this?

    You might actually end up with more reviews that way. At least with manager reviews there's a limit.

    Ryan was definitely a freak of nature (as was Williams of course). Ryan just had an incredible body to throw as hard as he did for as many innings as he did and not to break down.

    Here's what I think would happen if you took away the teams' right to request any replay reviews. Just about every night and day there would be blown calls that don't get overturned, that impact games, and a large number of fans (think: game threads) would be screaming and cursing about it and wondering why the hell MLB would have done such a stupid thing.

    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.
  11. Bellhorn04
    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.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Make that 6 good postseason games.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Dempster has an estimated net worth of $50 million. (Still a fool, I know...)
  14. Bellhorn04
    Stop making fun of Nathan. What are the odds he has loose bodies 3 years in a row?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Our new head of ops has insulting nicknames before he even makes his first mistake. Good times!
  16. Bellhorn04
    We have quite a history of trades with San Diego over the last decade: Gonzo, Kimbrel and Pomeranz.
  17. Bellhorn04
    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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I'm not sure why you're opposed to managers being allowed to request a review altogether.
  19. Bellhorn04
    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.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Well, I'd say this is now officially the offseason from hell.
  21. Bellhorn04
    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.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The only good thing is that the AAV for tax purposes is a lot less than that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    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.
  24. Bellhorn04
    This thing could easily go down the same path as steroids, with congressional hearings, testimonies under oath. There's some chatter about that already.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The checkbook has been in the safe since the Eovaldi signing. Unless you included the extensions for Sale and Bogey, which we probably should...
