One thing about Eovaldi is, and correct me if I'm wrong, but his last two injured stints were not for actual injuries. They were procedures to remove 'loose bodies' which came from his last TJ surgery. Rather annoying that it would happen twice.
Screw the bad contract trades. We need to find another team willing to pay Price 54 million or more. If no such team exists, might as well forget the re-set for 2020.
Grady was going to have to use the bullpen in that game eventually. I don't think even Grady planned to have Pedro throw 155 pitches like Luis Tiant did in Game of the 1975 WS.
2020 projections (from B-R)
Kopech 61 IP 4.57 ERA
Beeks 85 IP 4.55 ERA
Allen 54 IP 4.83 ERA
Those numbers are just stabs in the dark, obviously, but it shows what unknown quantities they are.
The four WS wins have taken the sting out for me. I just find it's impossible to resist revisiting those occasions. You certainly don't forget them or how tragic they seemed at the time.
The 1978 playoff game was the worst for me. I was crushed.
