  1. It's also lower than the Qualifying Offer a certain poster has suggested extending to numerous Red Sox players after this year.
  2. Yes, it certainly looks like that was one of Dave's best moves this year.
  3. Nope. You can pry execs loose from the Rays with more money, but not from the Dodgers.
  4. jackson, you've been a fan a long time. This is how the game is. It's determined more by the quality of the pitching than anything. Last night's starter for the A's has bad numbers, but he probably had his best stuff last night.
  5. Dire Straits and the Doobies are in.
  6. Agreed. Tull is the most egregious omission.
  7. The point is the Rays get a lot out of a low payroll. If you add money, like with Friedman in LA, then you can really dominate. You are as stupid as it gets.
  8. Balderdash, Denny. Not only has the relief ace idea been around for over 5 years, any Red Sox fan should remember a concrete example of it being used. We faced Cleveland in the 2016 ALDS. Terry Francona was using Andrew Miller as the relief ace and Cody Allen as the closer that year. Regular season numbers with Cleveland: Miller 1.55 ERA .55 WHIP Allen 2.51 ERA 1.00 WHIP In Game 1 of the ALDS Miller came in in the 5th inning and pitched 2 innings. In Game 3 he came in in the 6th and pitched 2 innings. So no, we didn't invent it. You just missed it.
  9. For the benefit of anyone following this and wondering about this "symbiotic relationship" Elktonnick is trying to lay on me... It all started because I was defending moon against repeated unprovoked attacks by Yankee fan troll JDavis76. This inspired the troll to start making homophobic jokes about me and moon. Nick decided to side with the troll, and now he's running with it on a daily basis. A real class act.
  10. This post really establishes your credentials as an arrogant fool. Congrats. I get along well with most posters here, so this is like water off a duck's back.
  11. Verdugo continues his somewhat valiant quest to get his 2022 numbers into shape.
  12. Lots of varying thoughts on the best way to utilize this fine pitcher we stole from the Yankees!
  13. I know, but Matt had a lot of meltdowns in the second half last year and the first half this year. It would be great if he's back on form.
  14. I think it was Curt Flood. B-R shows Northrup hit a 2-run triple to center. That was the play. That was my introduction to the concept that a fielder can mess up and still not get charged with an error...
  15. Plus if I recall correctly, Gibson was victimized by a bad play in the outfield that game.
  16. Wow, you really squeezed a lot of insults into one post.
  17. Like everyone else I was full of dread when Barnes came in last night, and he fooled everyone. And how about that 8 pitch 9th by Whitlock?
  18. No pitcher is infallible. Bob Gibson was one of the greatest ever, obviously, and he was phenomenal in the 3 World Series he appeared in. And yet it sticks in my mind that in his last WS game, the 7th game in 1968, he took the loss, out-dueled by Mickey Lolich.
  19. Few teams ever do. That's why I'm saying the only guys everyone agrees are aces are in the Hall of Fame, or on that path.
  20. And the guy who signed Perez this year got fired LOL
  21. We all have issues, Red. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.
  22. It's hit or miss stuff even for a pitching expert like Bloom. For every Wacha there's a Richards. Anyway, it'd be nice to keep Wacha around somehow...
  23. You said a mouthful!!!
  24. Mookie went off last night. He probably added at least .5 WAR in one game LOL
  25. I know your intentions were good here, Max.
