  1. It was meant humorously, I swear.
  2. I would have liked Beni and Renfroe in left, Pillar in center and Verdugo in right. And maybe a Dalbec/Moreland platoon at first. But Bloom doesn't seem to give a damn about what I like.
  3. I'm guessing here, but I think the $200 mill offer for 8 years came after the 2016 season, with 4 years left before free agency. But yeah, it seems Mookie's mother kind of did us in.
  4. Bloom is doing what he was brought here to do. Like many others, I just hope the 2021 team is 'watchable', as we like to put it. If it isn't, it could be an ugly year, with NESN ratings continuing to slide, which would surely be a source of consternation to JH and TW.
  5. Everything has an impact. But the 68 million to Eovaldi is a drop in the bucket for a franchise that threw away 255 million on Pablo, Hanley and Castillo. And both of those contracts only had 2 more runs to run at the start of Mookie's new contract. It just doesn't add up to preventing the Boston Red Sox from keeping one of the best players in history.
  6. The point I'm trying to make is that when they were talking to Mookie, they still hadn't signed the extensions with Sale and Bogey, so they had much more room. We're just going to have to face the facts that they could have kept Mookie if they were willing to meet his price, but they chose not to.
  7. No, it just means it wasn't because of DD bloating the payroll.
  8. You'll be saying that till your dying day, won't you? The timeline sure suggests they signed the extensions with Sale and Bogey AFTER the failed negotiations with Betts.
  9. Jeezus, what a depressing thread this is.
  10. Hernandez got a lot of playing time with the Dodgers. 462 PA's in 2018 and 460 in 2019. So he was playing about 2/3 of the time.
  11. So we get a 2.8 hit and KC gets a 2.2 hit. We shaved 2.2.
  12. Only $5mill actually.
  13. Jerry took it a step further and said we're rooting for laundry LOL Generally speaking, it's been that way for a long time now.
  14. Apparently they're de-juicing the baseball a little this year, so the number will likely go down a bit.
  15. moon explained it. Those teams of the 70's were my favorite teams too. Plus losing to the Yankees with Reggie, Nettles et al. And my favorite player Yaz fouling out to end it. 1986 was awful but I was a little more numb or something.
  16. It must be, because 1978 has always been the worst heartbreaker for me.
  17. In baseball the word "better" is almost irrelevant sometimes. How's that for an answer?
  18. Right now I'm feeling 83-79.
  19. Not sure why you're including Dice-K and Oki.
  20. "Peanuts" salaries can still add up enough to put you over the tax threshold.
  21. Pivetta pitched well in his 2 starts for us last year. Think there's no chance whatsoever? Sometimes it just takes some little adjustment or other for a guy to do better.
  22. Have to look at total team payrolls too though.
  23. Yes, harmony is in full Cooler mode these days.
