    No, you wouldn't want to make a habit of it. But Victorino was a big part of winning a ring so you'd do that one again, as you would with Keith Foulke.

    You're saying that chicken and beer really was behind the collapse of the pitching staff?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Maybe so. Those discussions about who gets the credit become quite a tangled web. I think Ben should get the credit for 2013 even though a lot of the players were inherited.

    Who really knows why Lester pitched so badly in September 2011? Beckett wasn't that great either. It was a collective collapse by the pitching staff and nobody knows exactly why. That's why the chicken and beer story made sense to some people.

    93 wins, 98 Pythagorean wins, and a division title is a good performance by the GM in my opinion. I always try to look at the big picture rather than on a move-by-move basis. People used to criticize Theo for a lot of his individual moves but his overall record was exemplary.

    No worries Dojji...we all are sometimes.

    Our pitching numbers ended up being pretty good. Not as good as Cleveland's. But there's also the old 'playoffs are a crapshoot' thing.

    Baseball has become a pitching-dominated game in recent years. And in the postseason, things are even more heavily stacked in favor of pitching. Maybe the biggest factor, which gets overlooked a little, is all the off days. Cleveland has only played 13 games in 28 days since the regular season ended. As a result Tito has been able to use his 2 best starters and 3 best relievers to cover most of the innings.

    I trust the team's front office to recognize that we have more than one need. I think you have acknowledged that a team needs some offense to get to the playoffs. Not arguing that once you get to the playoffs pitching tends to dominate.

    I know there is a basis for this line of thought, but the overall implications of it baffle me. It seems to imply that it doesn't matter if the manager leaves the starting pitcher in to get shelled, it doesn't matter if he brings in his worst reliever instead of his best reliever with the game on the line etc. It confounds me, I'm sorry.

    Bautista might be a good candidate for DH if they can sign him for reasonable money. The interest in him may not be that high. He has tremendous numbers at Fenway, a .972 OPS and 24 HR in 68 games.

    If the Guardians win this game, Tito Francona's postseason record will be: 38-20 .655
  13. Bellhorn04
    Everything that Tito's doing is working, everything is going Cleveland's way. It's one of those magical rolls some teams get on.
  14. Bellhorn04
    As far as last night's game is concerned, Tito's decision to pinch hit for Miller was pretty impactful, wasn't it?
  15. Bellhorn04
    OTOH Tito's move to take Kluber out early in Game 1 could impact tonight's game, and his move to take Tomlin out early last night could impact Game 6, if it gets that far.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Especially when you consider that Lackey is only making about half as much as the highest paid starters like Price.
  17. Bellhorn04
    But we already have Young for left. I like the idea of returning Swihart to catcher.
  18. Bellhorn04
    100%. 2011 was a bad season for him, and Henry & Lucchino pretty much threw him under the bus for it. There was damage done to his reputation.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Well, now I'm thinking I'd like to see the Guardians win it and get a third ring for Tito...I'd like to see him win MOY again too...and shove it all in the face of the 'Francoma' tools who are still out there.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Good call. (Yes, I know it's kind of pathetic to respond to one of your own posts.)
  21. Bellhorn04
    We don't have any free agents who would command a QO.
  22. Bellhorn04
    But what pitcher would we be trying to acquire?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Do you think maybe we should trade Betts, Bogaerts, Bradley and Beni for pitching?
  24. Bellhorn04
    All it would take for Cleveland to win Game 3 is for Tomlin to have his best stuff and for Hendricks to have an off night.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, let's not even start with that. We can all check him out in April.
