  1. Personally I think using replay on safe and out calls is a very good thing. Sure it slows things up a bit but there have been a TON of calls reversed. That means a lot of wrong made right.
  2. Rollie Fingers Brad Hand Elroy Face
  3. Joe West was part of the crew in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, so I can't bad-mouth him.
  4. Also, if the reports are accurate, Epstein met with Grady before the game and tried to convince him that he needed to get Pedro out of there at 100-105 pitches no matter what.
  5. He also had a golden opportunity to pinch hit for Buckner with the bases loaded against lefty Orosco and Don Baylor available.
  6. You're talking about offense only. Their pitching had vast improvements, and as a result their run differential was higher than 2017, from +196 to +263.
  7. I think it's fair as long as you acknowledge that your own calls are questionable (as are mine).
  8. They just destroyed Cleveland in 3, outscoring them 21-6. Good thing they weren't pumped up! LOL
  9. But you're comparing an 8 year stint against a 1 year stint that isn't even complete yet. Tito's one true off year was his 8th year.
  10. Nope. It's 100% wrong to say that 'all the numbers' suggest this is a bad move. Price has pitched very well against this Houston team. Reg season 2018 2 starts 12.1 IP 3.65 ERA .81 WHIP 2017 7.2 IP 3.52 ERA 2016 6.2 IP 1.35 ERA Postseason 2017 6.2 IP 0.00 ERA The 2018 numbers include a start Sept 7 in Fenway where he went 6.2 giving up 2 runs, 2 hits, 2 walks, 10 K's. Terrible reporting by this writer not to make any mention of his numbers against Houston.
  11. It's somewhat comical how passionate some of these discussions get. Here's the thing...on this thread you have a relatively small group of fans, with very divided opinions on what moves Cora should have made or not made. If you took a poll on specific calls you might get a 55-45 split or something. Cora can't make 55-45 decisions. He has to make the call one way or the other and live with it.
  12. If the Yankees pass on him, which most people seem to think will happen, will Sabathia retire or sign somewhere else because the fire is still burning and that was a s***** way to go out?
  13. He's either due, or he's doo doo. We'll find out Sunday night.
  14. At the very minimum he should have pulled him after Kinsler's hit. He's got all his best relievers lined up including ones that can go 2 innings.
  15. I think Kershaw might be more comfortable in LA, but you...you're a cynical one!
  16. Can't find a thing about him.
  17. Good one. He stroked that ball dead up the middle. Now there'd be somebody there.
  18. Sale faced the 8-9-1 hitters in the 8th. The 2-3-4 hitters, heart of the order, were due up in the 9th. I think it was a solid plan. Kimbrel just didn't have it. Sale, like Kimbrel, is a great pitcher, but he's human too. In last year's ALDS he gave up 9 runs in 9.2 IP, including 4 long balls.
  19. This expression doesn't really make any sense when you think about it LOL
  20. Not even Porch Porcellos.
  21. My most cringing thought was about the A-Rod slap play, what would have happened if the umps didn't get it right.
  22. Did the Dodgers get poor all of a sudden?
  23. I believe the thinking is that Kimbrel is simply a far better pitcher than Joe Kelly, even when he's off. And if you bring Kelly in, it's going to be into a mess where his chances of succeeding are not great. I guarantee Cora's stomach was churning. It's a situation no manager wants to get in, but it's going to happen sometimes.
  24. The reason Porcello was replaced with Barnes in the 6th was because the Yankees muscle was due up and it was their third look at Porcello.
  25. Smith would seem to be worth a shot at $1.2 million, assuming he's healed.
