That was a bit different, of course. The Red Sox also lost one of those in 1948, in the Denny Galehouse game.
-
Agreed. The owners have only themselves to blame, of course.
-
Yep, that happened to both boxers and musicians.
-
How would you classify the potential burn on Tatis Jr.?
-
Hell yeah.
-
I agree. The 5 last place finishes in the last 11 years are a drag though.
-
Same injury.
-
He's had one significant injury in his career, and seems fully healthy again.
-
Cora is 2-0 vs. Boone in playoff series/Wild Card games. So no.
-
"Broken"? He has a .960 OPS. His lowest OPS since 2012 is .939. He's a machine.
-
So bring up German. Done.
-
How much for Trout plus Ohtani?
-
If they were willing to trade Trout, they might not have to throw in any money at all.
-
Yes and no. a) Cashman has been GM a long time. The Yankees have one of the highest payrolls every year and their fans have high expectations. c) The Yankees haven't won the World Series since 2009, and have only won one AL pennant since 2003. Of course if they win it all this year, that would wipe all that out.
-
To me the trade is a footnote, and the real question will always be how did it get to that point.
-
I don't blame Bloom for trading Betts. But I'm starting to think Henry and Werner really blew it there. They just didn't make enough of an effort to keep him IMHO. We may rue it for a long time.

In my opinion Ryan was just a freak of nature. The closest you will find in the current generation is Verlander, and even he finally needed TJS. I still think of Billy Martin and his 1980 Oakland A's starting rotation. Billy rode them hard, and they all ended up having short careers. Today's pitchers are throwing harder than ever and probably spinning the ball harder than ever too. The toll on their arms is self-evident. You're right that the babying doesn't seem to help. Not sure anything would. -
And IF Nate comes back and looks good in a few starts, a QO for him might came back into the conversation.
-
Yep. With pitchers of their age and erratic histories, the Recency Effect is off the charts.
-
But have you been watching?
-
Meanwhile Mookie is on fire. Not a great time for the Red Sox front office.
-
If Wacha was still on the shelf, there'd be little support for a QO for him either.
-
Valid questions though.
-
Whyzat?
-
You're right that it's not simple, however I have to agree with the sentiment that the team needs to show marked improvement next year for Bloom's job to be safe.
