But if they win this World Series that will be 2 championships and 1 ALCS appearance. That clearly makes them the dominant team of the 3 years, results-wise, regardless of the closeness of the series.
-
Poor Dave. No respect.
-
My thinking is pretty much the same as yours. If it really is a crapshoot, more longshots should be coming in.
-
They will do less of it, I would agree. But obviously they still won't like having 3 same-side guys in a row.
-
If the Astros win this year, it'll be 4 straight years that a team with the best record, or close to it, won.
-
Theo Epstein was here 9 years, and it's not really clear that he couldn't have stayed on longer if that's what he wanted.
-
But like it or not, it's the GM's who deliver the guys who play the game.
-
Yes, the main difference was defense. Xander and Devers did both have higher offensive WAR's than Mookie.
-
I would consider the bells and whistles approach. Front-loaded and with an opt-out.
-
Aren't the Astros making a pretty good case for 'not a crapshoot'? They've been the dominant regular season team over the last 3 years. And they've been the dominant postseason team over the last 3 years.
-
It's not a black and white question. That's why I put 'degrees of crapshoot' in the poll.
-
Yes, that has been solidly random.
-
Good comeback!
-
You are hereby appointed as our representative to approach John Henry on this matter.
-
It's certainly a sure way for David to go from a Yankee fan favorite to a Yankee fan target of abuse.
-
Sounds like he got canned for roughly the same reason LeVangie did - too old school.
-
I think the Yanks are recovering most of Ellsbury's pay through insurance as long as he 'can't play'. So that significantly reduces their financial incentive to move him.
-
I blame medical science. It's obviously overrated.
-
Seriously.
-
He's a fine pitcher, and he's going to get a contract that someone will deeply regret in a few years.

Playing Red Sox GM: salary dump time!

Yep, that sort of mucho dinero in sweetners. -
Tampa gave them a tough series, because Tampa is a good team. But the Astros beat them 6-1 in the deciding game. Not luck.

"We might need to throw in sweetners to move price and eovaldi" That's funny stuff. -
I'm sure there was debate. I think if there was no extension and Sale went out and had a strong season, he would be looking at something like $200 million in free agency. What he agreed to was about $128 million, in present value dollars, based on the calcs done for his AAV. It all keeps coming back to how the problems in his arm could be missed in a high-tech medical exam.
-
I'm not sure how anyone could have ignored Sale's issues last year, including Henry.
