  1. Another guy who was on the Interest Kings List this past offseason...
  2. Trying to avoid Recency Bias, but he did have some concerningly dreadful outings in the postseason. Anyway, it's probably a moot point since we're talking about the Full Throttle Interest Kings...
  3. Betts is the most complete player in the game and I'm not sure who's close. And of course John Henry is a complete _______ for letting him go.
  4. Well done. Now stick around and post a little, man!
  5. Mookie handled it well. He was really pissed about it at the time, as well he should be, the idiots could have injured him. After the game he said it was irrelevant, he wasn't hurt, they lost the game, life goes on, end of story.
  6. Baseball is the only game where there is such a thing as fan interference, isn't it? I don't remember any fan interference calls in the NFL, or NBA, or NHL.
  7. I find that blunders don't bother me quite as much when we get a ring out of it.
  8. In 2020 players got paid on a pro-rated basis, so about 40% of full salary. Eovaldi would have lost about $10 mill out of $17.
  9. So much randomness in play here LOL But along the same lines, I always thought David Price earned a big chunk of his contract in the 2018 ALCS and WS. The ring is the thing.
  10. He was more consistent in 2023-2024, worth about 20 mill each year.
  11. Bloom did not make one single move that got Sox fans excited at the time he made it. Which is not to say that they were all bad moves by any means, some turned out to be good and even very good. But it's basically been 5 years of Sox fans being nonplussed.
  12. An .875 OPS and 126 OPS+ in a Red Sox uniform. Not too shabby.
  13. Don't forget the 2020 adjustment! It makes him just about Even Steven.
  14. Houck was 1 of 4 contending for the 4-5 spots going into spring training, no? With none of them locks. 1 Giolito 2 Bello 3 Pivetta 4-5 Crawford/Houck/Whitlock/Winckowski
  15. I honestly have to give JH credit for a high enough baseball IQ to understand how the Dodgers are succeeding. And we shouldn't overlook that Yamamoto, Buehler and Flaherty have turned in some good games.
  16. Sorry, I was using jinx in this capacity because of our similar posts: A jinx can be initiated when at least two people say any same word or phrase at the same time. Typically, after the coincidental voicing of the same content, the individuals compete to say the word "jinx" before the other, with the slower respondent being the "loser" or "jinxee."
  17. Oh I know. It's almost like they are REALLY committed and pretty darn good at what they're doing! Whereas with Henry and Co. it's like "Woe is us, look at these bad contracts and injuries, how does anyone expect little old us to compete?"
  18. No, we're not insanely unlucky IMHO - although Henry would probably like us to think that. As someone put it, the Dodgers have an entire pitching staff on the IL. But they've somehow managed to succeed anyway.
  19. There's no guarantee that he wouldn't have been, either.
