Zobrist was in the middle of both the crucial rally in the 2015 postseason, and what might be the crucial rally in the 2016 postseason.
-
I'm shocked...shocked, I tell ya.
-
You're in denial if you think Papi's postseason heroics weren't the key to our parades. 'Good pitching beats good hitting' - yeah, sometimes, but guess what, not all the time. The teams we faced in the World Series had pretty good pitching, but Papi destroyed them.
-
Need 'em both Slash...if EE didn't hit the home run in the Wild Card game Jays might be playing golf these days. And no Papi no parades for us...
-
Just for fun we should all have a go at figuring out the payroll for the next few years. For example, let's say the payroll budget is 200 million, and let's say half goes to the pitching staff and half to position players. It's pretty obvious they can only do 2 out of 3 on the B's you mentioned, at best...
-
I would say they can afford to keep any guy, but not every guy.
-
It wouldn't surprise me if Henry authorizes a big offer to EE. Henry loved Papi and he will probably want to replace him as best as possible.
-
This is one of the quintessential truths of major league baseball, and it plays a huge role in the postseason.
-
After the game Theo admitted how uneasy he was about the prospect of a Game 5 facing Cueto with Bumgarner behind him. This was a miracle win.
-
Everything went right for the 2013 team. Ellsbury, Victorino and Drew had great years - and after that they were pretty much done.
-
Good one.
-
Glad I stayed up for that.
-
That implies that in any one decision, it really doesn't matter much what the manager does. He could take out a pitcher tossing a no-hitter and bring in his worst reliever and it wouldn't matter that much.
-
And here's Kershaw with another disappointing postseason performance.
-
I can't help but have my doubts about the ability of Price and Porcello to step up in playoff games. They have no postseason pedigree. Lester and Lackey do. I can't explain it but the history is there. Price in particular - how many postseason chances can he blow?
-
The 2013 team had Lester and Lackey.
-
We live in big-ass countries with 4 time zones, Kimmi. It was almost 4 AM my time when the game ended.
-
Everybody's got their little theories on what the hell happened. It's all part of the trip called being a sports fan, I think.
-
I don't know how you can conclude this when he had an awesome season and we won 93 games and the division (both better than expected).
-
One interesting footnote was that Francona went ahead and did the same thing in 2004 ALCS Game 5, but got away with it.
-
Yeah, Porcello and Price both having s***** starts is the only real bummer. Especially Price. The monkey on his back got a little bigger.
-
This series reminds me a little of 2005 when we got swept by the White Sox. We ran into a team that was quite a bit better, or on more of a roll, than we realized.
-
Timlin and Embree had both been pitching well for a while though. And if the reports are accurate, in the pre-game preparations Grady was told he had to get Pedro out of there at 105 pitches or thereabouts because of what the stats showed about his diminished effectiveness. Grady decided to be a cowboy.
-
I guess I need a copy of 'The moonslav guide to sample sizes'.
-
Well, JBJ hit 216/303/387 in August/September, and looked awful in this series. So by your own definition, it's not a 'tiny sample size', so maybe you shouldn't be criticizing other people for getting down on him either.
