  1. The last time the Red Sox won consecutive AL pennants, of course, was 1915-1916. 2016-2017 is the only time they've ever won division titles two years in a row.
  2. Of course there's no actual evidence of a 'fractured' clubhouse. But we all know how much fun it can be playing guessy-guessy.
  3. and D) won the division for the second year in a row following two last-place finishes.
  4. You have a good sense of humor for a Yankee fan.
  5. But he had an insanely hot September. Quite a roller coaster ride.
  6. Just looking at this - 3 Golden Sombreros in 5 games!
  7. Depends what you call a tough guy. Is Showalter a tough guy?
  8. Yeah that was a very painful loss...I actually felt bad for Scherzer...he didn't really deserve to have a nightmare inning like that.
  9. Jeezus, don't start with the 105 wins and run away with the division stuff already...
  10. Yes, this was the big thing I took away from the story too.
  11. That's not asking that much, is it?
  12. I don't think this really qualifies as a rash decision. DD was hired in 2015, Farrell was canned at the end of 2017.
  13. Kapler seems worth considering.
  14. I can't see the sign-stealing thing being a big factor. The team only got a slap on the wrist for it after all. But there was certainly an accumulation of things suggesting dysfunction.
  15. I mostly agree. We can project our asses off, but at the end of the day the historical numbers are the only thing that's real.
  16. Some tabloid-worthy extracurricular activities by Brian Cashman didn't get him fired either.
  17. Maybe after a year or two more out of the game he'll feel differently. Sometimes retirement gets a little boring and a new challenge is needed.
  18. devildavid is right though, you have to look at the total situation, not just the final score of that game.
  19. I think he might be a very good hitting coach. Based on anecdotal info, part of what made him great was his understanding of how pitchers were going after him and his ability to predict what pitch was coming next.
  20. I have total respect for this position.
  21. If you based everything on one series you might be right. But on the season it was our pitching and defense that carried us. It's natural to try to address the team's biggest weakness, and in 2017 that weakness was clearly the offense. We were 10th in MLB in runs scored, but we were also tied for 23rd in park-adjusted OPS+ with a 92, which is pretty horrible. It's also worth nothing that in the first 2 games of the ALDS, while overshadowed by the horrible pitching, the offense was also dismal, putting up a pair of deuces.
  22. I can't say congratulations to the Yankees, but I will say congratulations to Jacko and the other Yankee fans here.
