  1. Yes, and as much as I like Dalbec, if they could sign Schwarber, they could play him at first and trade Dalbec, and probably get something of value in return.
  2. No, they weren't. The only guy he clearly overpaid in dollar bills was Price. And we've agreed that was a necessary signing.
  3. Yes, it would be a damn shame if they don't. He's an instant fan favorite, so Henry would see some value in that too.
  4. This is one of the worst innings a pitcher has had in postseason history, guaranteed.
  5. Shades of a certain Game 7 vs the Yankees.
  6. Schwarbs. The dude is like 2018 Steve Pearce, only more talented.
  7. Amen to that. I watch a lot of sports with the mute button on.
  8. If we must re-litigate Dave, I will offer a couple of key points that tend to get overlooked. 1) The payroll problems that the team had going into 2020 were not a personal creation of Dave's by any means. They were the end product of a series of transactions that started during Ben's time. I'd be happy to go through that point any time. 2) Dave hired Cora, for which he should get major, major points as far as what he left behind.
  9. I know.
  10. Yet here we are. Bloom has done a great job, but things weren't in terrible shape.
  11. It's not absurd if there's no travel issue.
  12. It has all worked out remarkably well considering the number of changes.
  13. I agree with your point. And in the best of 5 they use a 2-2-1 format. The only real problem with the 2-2-1-1-1 is the potential amount of travel required for the last 3 games.
  14. 4-3, you're kidding?
  15. Let's not count our chickens and duck boats just yet. Atlanta was up 2-0 and 3-1 last year on the Dodgers.
  16. 2010-2015 were very crapshooty. 2016-2020 were not crapshooty.
  17. So you're foreseeing a radical change from last offseason to this one - a guy who settled for a QO getting a megadeal after a good season.
  18. That requires a bit of detail. Platooning a guy like Joc Pederson as they did made sense. He mashed RH pitching and was helpless against LH pitching.
  19. 6-7 years for Stroman would be absolute lunacy. I don't see him getting that from anyone.
  20. Graterol faced 3 RH hitters. Rosario and Freeman are LH hitters. Jansen must be better against LH hitters. It almost seems like Dave Roberts is freaking out a bit with all the pitching deployments. One thing that was interesting was that Roberts said the pitching lineup in Game 5 against the Giants was not entirely his decision, that he was just 'one of the voices'. It'll make for nice second-guessing fodder if the Braves can somehow win this.
  21. This is the next best thing to being in the room with Henry, Werner and Bloom.
  22. The Dodgers had a run differential of +269. They don't really have major flaws. But they can still be beaten on any given day.
  23. This postseason is shaping up as a good one for the 'playoffs are a crapshoot' argument.
