    That one was Ben's.

    Compiled strictly for fun/interest. I think we can at least conclude that NYY, STL and BOS have had a lot more success getting to the playoffs than CIN, PIT and SDP!
  3. Bellhorn04
    They can't trade him right now, though, can they?
  4. Bellhorn04
    If the Sox non-tender him, he's a regular free agent, and there's no arbitration.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I guarantee Beni is not looked at as an option for CF or RF by the Sox FO.
  6. Bellhorn04
    You made fun of other people's opinions by way of heavy sarcasm, then got offended when someone described one of your opinions as idiotic. A classic case of being able to dish it out, but not take it.
  7. Bellhorn04
    You're way off the mark. She has criticized many a move, most notably the replacement of Ben by DD.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I don't think so. Price did though?
  9. Bellhorn04
    That was no crapshoot. A guy like Ross would never give up on a woman who looked like that.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I'm not sure of anything. He could also have said he's definitely not opting out by now...

    Here's one of my little issues with the 'crapshoot' philosophy. If you fully subscribe to the theory that every team that gets in has an equal chance: 1) Deadline deals like the acquisitions of Eovaldi, Pearce and Kinsler in 2018, or Peavy in 2013, were 'unnecessary', because we already had a playoff spot virtually clinched. 2) What's the point of a team that has clinched getting players a little rest at the end of the season to have them in better shape for the playoffs? 3) What's the point of a team that has clinched trying to get their pitching rotation properly lined up for the playoffs?

    Personally, I'd rather have 5 more than 5 less.

    Total postseason wins/losses/total games/winning % for the 20 year period 2000-2019.

    Just for fun I compiled the postseason standings for the last 20 years 2000-2019: Here are the rankings by games played: NYY 76 68 144 52.8% STL 68 66 134 50.7% BOS 57 37 94 60.6% LAD 42 47 89 47.2% HOU 41 38 79 51.9% SFG 48 30 78 61.5% CHC 25 30 55 45.5% DET 25 26 51 49.0% LAA 21 27 48 43.8% ATL 16 32 48 33.3% PHI 27 19 46 58.7% TEX 20 22 42 47.6% CLE 20 20 40 50.0% OAK 15 25 40 37.5% NYM 22 17 39 56.4% WSN 19 17 36 52.8% ARI 17 19 36 47.2% TBR 16 20 36 44.4% KCR 22 9 31 71.0% MIN 6 25 31 19.4% MIL 12 14 26 46.2% TOR 10 10 20 50.0% COL 9 11 20 45.0% CHW 12 7 19 63.2% SEA 9 10 19 47.4% MIA 11 6 17 64.7% BAL 6 8 14 42.9% CIN 2 7 9 22.2% PIT 3 5 8 37.5% SDP 1 6 7 14.3%

    It's possible. But they have pretty good gigs as it is.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Friedman and Epstein were longshots at best. Pipe dreams might be an even more apt description.
  18. Bellhorn04
    With Bloom's hiring, BTW, I wonder what happened to those stories about the Sox not being to able to attract top talent because of the chaos and toxic atmosphere and all that?
  19. Bellhorn04
    Well, I know this is sort of going 'down the rabbit hole', but I think it's also possible that regular season record isn't the best measure of which teams are the strongest going into the playoffs. Some teams have lost guys to injury, some have had guys come back from injury, some have made key acquisitions at the trade deadline, some have played much better in the second half, et cetera. So maybe the best measure would be the 'power rankings' or betting odds going into the playoffs, which presumably would account for these things.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Not necessarily, but it's a strong possibility. The front office has said as much. JD himself has said as much.
  21. Bellhorn04
    At this point JD also knows that if he doesn't opt out, there's a strong chance he's traded. That's why I think there's a strong chance he opts out. That way he has some control over his own destiny.
  22. Bellhorn04
    JD has until November 4 to opt out or not.
  23. Bellhorn04
    We can't afford to lose JD and we can't afford to lose Mookie. But we've been virtually assured we're going to lose one of them
  24. Bellhorn04
    So you think the reasonable assumption is that they hired someone who doesn't embrace the new philosophy, is that it?
  25. Bellhorn04
    I suspect he will embrace the new philosophy, and that has a lot to do with why they hired him, and he knows it.
