  1. I co-win the thread!
  2. Yikes, what a bummer for Braves fans.
  3. If you want to do a straight-up comparison between Ben and DD, you have to include a comp of the team's record for their 4 years. Ben - 1 title + 3 last place DD - 1 title + 2 divisions + 1 3rd place
  4. In DD's defense, I think he actually tried. He didn't trade any major prospects in 2018 or 2019 (not that there was much left).
  5. Doesn't it seem like outfield will BE A NEED, with JBJ and Mookie both possibly gone?
  6. There's a lot of pressure on the Stros now.
  7. He harvested them in 2016, 2017 and 2018. That was 3 seasons - and 3 division titles.
  8. Decimated means destroyed. It's not generally used to refer to a resource that has been utilized to advantage. Sticking with the farm analogy, when farmers harvest their crops they don't usually call that 'decimating' their farm. Semantics, perhaps, but I think we all know what we're talking about here.
  9. Yes, wtf! to all the Cora haters. 1 parade in 2 years ain't enough for them.
  10. True.
  11. Deal Betts so we can sign Chapman? 700hitter is right, we need a vomit emoji here.
  12. I sort of understand d-money's anxiety. After the Astros won the first 2 games I was hoping they were on a roll that would carry them past the Yanks.
  13. Patience of Red Sox fans with their managers has reached a new low, and that's saying something.
  14. "Up the middle!" That was Joe Buck's call when Bill Mueller hit his game-tying, history-changing single off Mariano Rivera in Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS. Last night, the Astros made their final out when Gurriel drilled a grounder up the middle. It went right through the box past Snell, but it was fielded easily behind second for the out. It seems to me that once upon a time a hard-hit grounder up the middle that got past the pitcher was an almost guaranteed hit. Singles up the middle were actually kind of cool. Now with all the changes in defensive positioning it's usually an out. One more reason, I guess, that hitters are focused so much more on launching it instead.
  15. Somebody needs to explain to me what has been so bad about our team's overall approach. Haven't we won the World Series more than the other teams since Henry bought the Red Sox? (Yes.) Sure we've made mistakes and wasted some money, but the bottom line is we've been pretty damn successful with what we've done.
  16. I guess the obvious answer is that the difference between us and the Rays is the 4 rings. I wouldn't trade.
  17. Sure, that might happen...on a sitcom.
  18. Not a bad analogy.
  19. Yes, I think it's safe to say it would have been seen as wholesale panic.
  20. I'll say it for Kimmi in her absence: Lucchino!
  21. It's not uncommon for managers to stay on while pitching coaches and hitting coaches get fired. So much specialization and compartmentalization now.
  22. Let's be real, when DD came on board it was the equivalent of kicking Ben in the privates.
  23. Other than Pablo, Hanley and Castillo, you mean?
