There's also some pretty cool signed stuff from legends of the past. Yaz, Papi, Pedroia, Mike Lowell, Pedro, Boggs, Rice, Lynn, Fisk, Luis Tiant. The Papi stuff is still quite pricey. Some of the items for guys like Lynn and Tiant are relatively reasonable. There's just one thing for Manny - a signed collage of his career highlights. -
There you go. We all have our different reactions. I don't really know if analytics will be good or bad for the game over the long run. Time will tell.

No, I'm not. But if I had more money, I believe I might buy a few items like this.
-
Unofficially, the Red Sox are at 237.85. But the official numbers will come later after the bean-counters do all their due diligence.
-
In the John Henry era, the Red Sox are 57-37 in the postseason (.606) - equivalent to a 98-64 regular season record.
-
What doesn't change so much are things like payroll rank and strength of division.
-
If you're thinking, where's the J D Martinez ball, you're right. There is not a single item of JDM signed memorabilia on the Sox website. Also no Porcello or Holt.

How about just a straightforward autographed 2018 World Series logo baseball? The pricing order is interesting. Betts $400 Price $200 Kimbrel $200 Benintendi $200 Bradley Jr $180 Pearce $170 Bogaerts $150 Eovaldi $150 Devers $100 If you want your Mookie ball with a 2018 WS Champs inscription, that'll up the price to $500 If you want your Pearce ball with a 2018 WS MVP inscription, that'll up the price to $200 The Devers ball looks like a relative bargain, doesn't it? Maybe even the Price ball. Hmmm...

The numbers are actually pretty striking: 1996-2018 ATL 14 playoff eliminations + 1 Wild Card loss OAK 7 playoff eliminations + 2 Wild Card losses MIN 6 playoff eliminations + 1 Wild Card loss Total 27 + 4 = 31

I really do find this hard to believe. The Red Sox have won it all 4 times in 15 years. Oakland, Minnesota and Atlanta combined have won it zero times since 1995 despite making the playoffs a whole bunch of times. I think we had significantly better chances of winning than them because we were more stacked in all the different departments. Which resulted from our large payroll advantages and some smart GM's. Just my opinion.
-
They didn't do that, but the closest thing to it-they put a limit on the width of the goalies' leg pads.

2018 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox
Bellhorn04 replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
To be fair, the vilification took place when the series was 2-1. And it did seem like a crushing loss at the time. Thankfully the team turned right around and pulled off an amazing comeback the next game. -
Something tells me that after a short grace period you're going back to saying mean things about Dave again.

2018 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox

Yes, absolutely. Comparing Red Sox teams on their postseason records is just SO much more fun than it once was. -
As you mentioned earlier, I think, a team with a 60% probability of winning a game or series has only a 21.6% probability of doing this 3 times in a row. The flip side is that a team with a 40% probability of winning a game or series has only a 6.4% probability of doing this 3 times in a row.
-
There's another item that I forgot to list: the growing paranoia about sign-stealing, forcing teams to have multiple sets of signs and changing them frequently. One unsightly by-product of this is all the instances of wild pitches and passed balls resulting from catchers getting crossed up on the signs.
-
We had that moment this year when Mookie Betts pulled out and flashed his 'cheat card' after making a catch. A lot of folks found this funny/entertaining. Personally it made me a little queasy. No reflection on Mookie, of course. Just the fact that fielders now need these cards to know where to position themselves on every play.
-
They were a longshot, though. Not impossible-longshots do come in sometimes. I guess the only real question here is, how much better of a chance does the favorite actually have vs. the longshot.
-
Colorado had no chance, seriously. They were not a very good team.
-
This year, I think Atlanta and Colorado had very little chance of going all the way. I think the Vegas guys were right.
-
This year the biggest longshots on the Vegas board were Atlanta and Colorado. They were leaning heavily toward the AL to win it. The top 3 favorites were 1) Astros 2) Red Sox 3) Dodgers.
-
Some teams come into the postseason as longshots on the Vegas board. If you really think those teams have the same chance, you should be betting those longshots every year.
-
I hear what you're saying. But before they made the changes, the incidence of ties was getting to be ridiculous, because the games were also lower scoring.
-
Some divisions are consistently weaker than others, are they not?
