    Wake up and smell the coffee, buddy. They traded Mookie and still wouldn't go over the tax line this year. Game over, man!
  2. Bellhorn04
    Based on what?
  3. Bellhorn04
    Tanking is not pretty.
  4. Bellhorn04
    They have the ability, yes. History shows they much prefer not to.
  5. Bellhorn04
    2020 was just an unstoppable snowballing cluster. You're right about Sale and Erod, but Cora, Betts, Price, Porcello and others were also gone for various reasons. If ever there was a perfect time to tank...

    You trying to start a debate over whether 'winning run' or 'game-winning RBI' is a real thing? I'm joking. But as real baseball nerds know, the 'game-winning RBI' stat did exist for a period of 10-15 years or so before it was deep-sixed again. Those same nerds know that the way the 'game-winning RBI' was determined was mirrored on the way winning pitcher is determined. Ergo, the 'game winning RBI' in the 1978 playoff game was by Dent, not Reggie.

    That is true. But they've only gone significantly over the cap twice, in 2018 and 2019, and Henry/Werner apparently didn't care for it all that much. So I think moon is largely correct in looking at the tax cap as the de facto budget cap.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and I've started using it lately. It's the toxic cloud billowing out from the game threads that can be a bit depressing.

    According to denny galehouse, the Rays have no business being favored over a team they finished 8 games ahead of!
  10. Bellhorn04
    I think you could make a case that Cashman has become flat out incompetent, with the deadline trade for Gallo being the most recent evidence. "Maybe if we get another three true outcome hitter who's left-handed, that'll fix things..."

    Who's YOUR team, STORK? Stop being such a pussy and fess up.
  12. Bellhorn04
    moon, I hate to say it, but this place will not be good again until the season's over and the Negative Nellies clear out. They can be insufferable.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The Rays scored 456 runs on the road this year. The Red Sox scored 359.
  14. Bellhorn04
    OK well, if we go back to OPS, the Rays park-adjusted OPS+ is 112, which was third in MLB behind the Jays at 115 and Houston at 113. Don't kid yourself, they are a good hitting team. Their unadjusted OPS takes a hit from the TropDome.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'll take runs scored over any other offensive metric... And don't forget they play in a pitcher's park.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Well, the Rays are the defending AL champs, finished 8 games ahead of us and were 11-8 against us head to head this year. So I've seen wackier things than them being favored in this series.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and it was reported that he had a *blinding* hangover in the Super Bowl but caught 2 TD passes anyway.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Sale was not on the roster for the Wild Card game. He is on the roster for this ALDS series. Courtesy, Magoo Corrections R US. (Max was the Magoo in this case.)
  19. Bellhorn04
    Let's just call it a dead heat between Vlad and Semien.
  20. Bellhorn04
    And we've also seen plenty of examples of guys who were dealing one minute and not dealing the next. It's just the nature of the game. I think part of this is that Cora probably let Houck know before the game he was likely going to pitch one inning. Houck therefore is focused on getting 3 outs and goes all out trying to do so, with no thoughts of holding anything back to pitch a second inning. We can debate stuff like this all day (and we do), but the bottom line is that Cora is the guy who has to make the calls and live and die with them.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Just regular old stupidity.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Jeez man, try to relax for one night and enjoy beating the Yankees.
  23. Bellhorn04
    It's human nature to overreact at certain times during a baseball season. I was moping for a while after the trade deadline when the Yankees were winning.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Let's face it, we all have our moments of recoiling in horror when a manager yanks a guy who has been pitching well. But it does seem a little weird to be complaining about the manager after beating the Yankees 6-2.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Personally I would say his career numbers are "mediocre". You must have seen him pitch in some Mets games, did you?
