Absolutely they will. -
I don't know if trading Mookie was the right move by the organization, but Bloom did as good a job on the trade as you could possibly ask.
-
If Cora is stubbornly loyal, so is Bloom. He has the last word on personnel moves.
-
At that point, nobody else was available.
-
Yes. But the one-dimensional approach seems to be real.
-
We might see that down the road.
-
Very true. I couldn't just let that post by Nick slide, though LOL
-
I actually started a thread here once called 'Are the playoffs really a crapshoot?' It's an intriguing question.
-
I do one have one question - Rios. Not sure what made anyone think this guy could help. I can't find one good thing in his numbers, and I tried.
-
Santana is a bench guy and rightfully so. Our A team right now has Verdugo, Kike and Renfroe in the outfield and Arroyo at second. The only way Duran can come up and play every day is by replacing Kike, and Kike has a 2.0 bWAR.
-
And in the playoffs, for some reason, they fold up like a cheap tent. Haven't been to a World Series since 1990. Not jealous.
-
Houck is pitching for Worcester today. He's been pitching very solidly there. 20 K's vs. 1 walk! We should be seeing him again soon.
-
Nobody is crazy enough to try predicting scores of MLB games, though.
-
Bloom and Cora get paid to make all these tough decisions. We should just sit back and relax. :D
-
Somebody said there's a lot of luck involved in one-run wins and losses.
-
Maybe a reliever, and that's it.
-
It's never going to be just about the short-term results of the trade, though. The trade enabled the Dodgers to sign Betts for the rest of his career.
-
There are plenty of things Cashman can be blamed for. -He hired Boone and all the other coaches, and this Yankee team has had a one-dimensional offensive approach and bad fundamentals. -He loaded up on all right handed bats and no left handed bats. -He shoehorned Torres into the wrong position. -He rolled the dice on Kluber and Taillon and lost. -The farm is dried up.
-
He's a free agent after this year.
-
They saw something in him, and their vision has been pretty good.
-
Personally I thought it was very curious that in the position the Yankees were in, Cashman would roll the dice on the rotation not once, but twice. The Red Sox were much more in a position to roll the dice, because we were expected to be a .500 team or thereabouts.
-
"The experts say winners of 1 run games are simply lucky." That is not exactly what they say, I don't think. It's simply a well-documented statistical fact that even the best teams tend to be around .500 in one-run games, while winning much more of their share of blowouts. The larger the margin of victory, the less randomness comes into it.
-
I don't know. It looks like he has shaken off the effects. Nobody knows much about long term effects. The big questions are how much he wants, and whether he would take somewhat of a discount to stay with the Sox.
-
The complaints about Kike making $7 million have been rather ludicrous... Bloom knows what he's doing.
-
I'm still hoping for Ort to help a bit in our bullpen this year and make it a trifecta.
