  1. The Braves scored their 5 runs last night off Scherzer, Urias, Graterol and Jansen. That's earning it.
  2. Signing Scherzer would likely require outbidding the Dodgers, and an AAV of 30 million or more. Verlander and Kershaw have major health concerns.
  3. Yes. I'm surprised but not shocked. Nothing much should be shocking in baseball.
  4. Just read that Iggy, while not eligible to play in the postseason, has stayed with the team and is serving as Cora's 'intern' and helping out any way he can. Pretty cool.
  5. Fun fact: in 26 postseason games, J. D. Martinez has 28 RBI. And a .967 OPS.
  6. Bellinger is very talented, but statistically, he was one of the worst players in the game this year. It'll be interesting to see how that affects the arb.
  7. True, but give Bloom credit for staying on the job by picking up Iggy and Shaw.
  8. To me the Dodgers, with all the pitching they have, might be getting a little too clever with their strategizing. I laughed with glee when Gonsolin and his kitty-cat cleats gave up the big game-tying homer.
  9. You're right. And I have no idea what happened to Barnes. But the sticky stuff thing is kind of like steroids, it raises a lot of suspicion whether justified or not.
  10. Which relievers, besides Whitlock, do you trust in a close situation? Be honest.
  11. Too much Rays love, Nick. We just beat them, man. And it's 4 rings to 0 this century. Stop with the Rays worship.
  12. I see Aaron back on a new 3 year deal. Cash is going to show the world he knows how to pick a manager.
  13. Bloom wouldn't have made the trade unless he was confident Schwarber was close to healthy. More gibberish.
  14. You're talking gibberish. The Red Sox were 9th in MLB in ERA+ at 111. The Yankees were 5th at 115. And since our defense was lousy, that means the pitching was even better than that.
  15. Count me among those who wish there was some way to have JD and Schwarber both on the team next year.
  16. Very smart, maybe even brilliant. Maybe brilliant is a better word than genius. Genius is more about creativity, ergo Brian Wilson.
  17. You won't get much of a betting line on that prediction though.
  18. Cora doesn't have a Tom Brady or a Bill Russell to lead the team year in and year out LOL
  19. I think of Charlie as one of those 'fine line between genius and insanity' guys.
  20. I have to agree with SPLINTER that it's a word that gets used too liberally. I'm not sure I even want Cora to be a genius. I just want him to be super-competent, which I think he is.
  21. Yes, they did. But some pitchers got off to incredibly good starts this year. Chapman, for example had an ERA of 0.39 on June 6, with an absurd 43 K's in 23 innings. After Stickygate he fell off a cliff. We know that they also changed the baseballs this year, reportedly with higher seams. So I would speculate that the combination of state of the art sticky stuff and higher seams had a lot to do with some of the amazing starts.
  22. What we'll never know is the impact Stickygate had on certain pitchers.
  23. No, but I'd argue the best format was the one in existence from 1995-2011.
  24. There are also a ton more strikeouts. Add that to the walks, and you're going to have deeper counts and more pitches thrown.
