Wow, good digging there.
-
John Henry's brain went bad.
-
Right, so now they're trying to make it look like there are a lot of qualified but under-the-radar candidates that nobody else thought of!
-
That's the mystery. Like I've said before, it really seems like he was under the impression he was working on a 5 year plan.
-
I guess Kennedy wasn't joking about it being an exhaustive search.
-
I agree with that. At the same time I'll always be mystified why Bloom never signed a starting pitcher for more than $10 mill, and I'll always wonder how much of it had to do with budget restrictions imposed on him.
-
Seems right. You might say Bloom's demise was a mix of bad decisions, indecision, and s***** luck.
-
Not exactly a pile of plausible options to choose from right now. GM: Eddie Romero Head of Baseball Operations: Craig Breslow
-
The Braves and Dodgers lost to teams in their own division that were 14 games worse and 16 games worse in the regular season. Rob Manfred loves him some crapshoot.
-
Good question. It would take a whole heap o' digging to parse that one out.
-
Did I miss something? mvp said "Hit a walkoff".
-
Kimbrel's career regular season numbers in non-save situations: W-L 38-26 ERA 2.79 WHIP 1.15 OPSa .603 Excellent numbers, but yes, his numbers in save situations are markedly better: ERA 2.18 WHIP .90 OPSa .496

In true Talksox fashion, your accidental thread has caught fire!
-
Everybody leaves, don't they?
-
How are the winds going to change at this point?
-
Kennedy already said Cora will be back as manager next year. Pretty hard to misinterpret.
-
Of course you can. Did the guy who replaced Click in Houston get to pick a new manager? Of course he didn't. This is just one of those old maxims that gets spouted because it sounds smart.
-
The 2023 payroll budgeting stunk IMHO. 2023 was a year that should live in Red Sox infamy. Total fiasco. Henry was miserly and Bloom didn't get great value for what he did spend, in spite of a few good choices, and lost his job.
-
The really interesting part of the story is that Dusty Baker put the kibosh on a trade Click had in place at last year's deadline, of Urquidy for Willson Contreras, and Click then pivoted to acquiring Vaz from us. Interesting in light of all the stuff about Cora's power with the Sox.
-
I guess it's somewhat interesting that the Astros went through all that internal turmoil last year, including disputes between the CBO and the manager, and ended up winning the WS. Maybe internal turmoil doesn't necessarily kill the baseball team...
-
If FanGraphs' valuation is the right one, Story was worth less than Valdez and Tapia - in more plate appearances. Not much of a steal there.
-
They wouldn't, would they? Yeah, they would.
-
Rangers are also playing well.
-
No WARcherry-picking, now. Story's fWAR was 0.2. FUBAR 0.5
-
Can't be worse.
