    Are you having one of those moments???

    You know it really is going to be interesting to see what happens. Kelly said it best - it really is a shame that the entire same groups won't be back next year. I don't know about Eovaldi. It still wouldn't surprise me at all if they make him a priority this off-season.

    Moon - I understand totally how much you have enjoyed this year and how much you have liked Dombrowski's moves and how much of the future you were willing to sacrifice for a ring or two. I get all of that. The problem I am having with all cliff dwellers whoever they may be, there is always an addendum to your praise. It of course is ok and possibly correct but I choose to see the future beyond 2020 or whatever as still being potentially bright if current ownership remains in place and if Dombrowski likes it here. He has been and is as good as there is in the game and I have great faith that he can build successful teams under any circumstance.

    I'm going to say this because I truly believe this - JD Martinez provided a sense of protection in the middle of our lineup that helped our hitters better mentally approach every at bat. It is possible that the same thing happened with the bullpen during this series. The concept of having to perform at the highest level might have been eased for a pitcher like Joe Kelly knowing that he had Porcello,Price, Eovaldi, Sale, and even Rodriguez out there to pick him up if necessary. The thought had to be comforting - a pressure reliever.

    You have fun on that cliff Moon. You have some friends there for sure to spend time with. It is tough every year to produce a winner but it appears that our GM might be up to the challenge,

    At this point in time, second base really isn't much of a concern. Devers has emerged at third. My guess - Eovaldi comes back and Kimbrel doesn't unless there is a real mutual understanding.

    i agree but we know how it goes here. It is what we do I guess. What a very special year this one was. I'm glad that I am alive to enjoy the whole show.

    One of my favorite posts. You never seemed too much of a "I love management" kind of guy. i agree with you obviously. Seeing those starters enthusiastically being out in that bullpen gave me a great sense of calm. An all hands on deck approach when it was needed the most.

    This is where we likely start hearing about how good DD is and has been but but but but. No buts for a change - not to take anything away from anyone else who has done this job but I do think that he has stood the test of time and that there really isn't a team in baseball that wouldn't feel pretty good knowing that he was their GM moving forward. From the cliff walkers to the he can't build the farm nor can he build a bullpeners - it has been idle talk. Let's just be happy we got him working for us. Let's see how we do going forward before we judge him in distant hindsight.

    I have to thank you for saying this and I actually think that you mean it. For various reasons, i can see why your contributions add a lot to this forum. You compete in a hostlile environment for sure. If you were a player, you would likely be playing for us! lol

    The Red Sox will do their due diligence I think. They get it. It isn't all about these uber talented free agents. It is all about finding solid unselfish talent and putting them out there to play as a team. John Henry sounded and looked like he was having a pretty good time last night. I don't think that it matters to this franchise right now how anyone projects them to finish next year. You win with good people - they get it and they'll be back I imagine.

    This season has been a blast. From posting here to watching just about every game. You come to feel as though you really know these guys. The finish was appropriate with Chris Sale finishing up for sure. I love what Pearce did and has done for this team and it is a shame that one MVP had to be chosen although individual awards isn't what this team is all about. Price though would have been mine. This is a team for the ages. A different team. No big egos out there. Just a team. Without a doubt it is the best team that I have seen in Boston. Thanks for the memories. I can't believe that it is over. i wish that it wasn't.

    If that peckerhead hits Vazquez in the head one more time with that bat, wouldn't you like to see Vazquez maybe ball up and shove his mitt down that sob's throat.

    heartfelt - ++

    You ain't just a shittin there's Kinsler. He is a good tough competitor and judging the guy on one play is total ********. He has helped this team become the champions that they are about to become.

    You don't win with all choir boys for sure but good people win and win big over a period of time. Personally I think that quality of character has been emphasized as well as talent with respect to the construction of this team. This is a quality team. My favorite Red Sox team since 1955!
  17. cp176
    correcto!!!
  18. cp176
    What is wrong with you? Don't say it like that. A coach is a coach. I hope that you are good one. I'm thinking that you might be. I would do the same thing although I have to tell you it didn't happen often in my coaching career that a player said that he was tired and wanted to come out. I don't think that there is a player on this current Red Sox team that would tell the truth. You would have to drag their asses off the field. Keep coaching - kept me young.

    I like this post!

    I saw the same thing and read it the same way. You could see it and you could feel momentum (there I go again) swinging the other way. I think that we have reached a point with L.A. where they expect the Sox to rip them up after they get the first two outs. Obviously anything can happen, but the Red Sox know they can win and I don't think that the Dodgers truly believe that they can.
  21. cp176
    Believe it or not, to I'm about the last person who would ever want to see something like this happen and I try to give every great athlete the benefit of the doubt. He has convinced me that there is more to him than simply wanting to do what it takes to win. What he is doing really is saying quite a bit about who he is and what his true character is. It is borderline criminal and until he really pays a price this s*** will continue to happen.

    and while we are on the topic of last night's game, at the risk of getting bitched at again, as well as E-Rod pitched last night, his not being able to get his fat ass to second base on that infield roller was ridiculous. I don't give a s*** if he has been injured or was afraid of getting hurt, it is the 5th game of the world series - make the effort. It stood out and was very much out of character for a team that lays it all there on just about every play. Get in shape .
  23. cp176
    you sure?

    Slasher - what the hell - i can't sneak one gd thing by you!!! For the record though, I realize the role that analytics play in today's game and I understand there is a place for them all. I do think that they are over done, and somewhat over used, but we aren't going backwards and that is ok. The product on the field is a better product I think than we have seen. I think that we are very fortunate to have a manager that understands baseball players and what makes them tick. Combination old school new school if you will. For my money though, this game never has been and never will be solely about talent. They have brought together a team filled with professionals who I think approach the game the right way.

    Sale will be on hand if he needs to be. No problem.
