    As Charles Barkley so wisely said, players care about 3 things: money, winning, and minutes ... in that order. I am also saying that Chris Sale is not a complete idiot: he would never accept the logic (nor would you), that his performance would be better if he were paid less. How would you react if your boss suggested that to you?

    I'd love to be at the meeting where you pitch this to Sale and his agent: "Look, we only have your legacy in mind, and you have ALWAYS played better underpaid. Forget about the market or what your team-mates make ..."

    Are you referring to the tough guy whose most famous bad-ass move was sucker-punching a guy (while in full pads and mask)? (The only good thing Carl Crawford did while here was calling him out for his "captain" b.s.)
  4. jad
    Eck's fault, clearly.
  5. jad
    Oof.

    Yup. Just trade or waive Sale, Price, E-Rod, and Porcello, and oh yes, Barnes and maybe Eovaldi, and, you know, simply replace them with (or trade them for) a pitching staff that is better. You might have to eat a contract or two, but really, what could be simpler? (Oh yes, and of course, trade Mookie and JBJ for two better outfielders.)

    The collapse began in April.

    PLAYoffs????!!!!!!!

    This really feels like The End.

    Ha! Can't remember that clearly enough, because it wasn't memorable. Didn't they just throw Jerry Casales (RIP!) out there for 6 or so innings, then let Ike Delock come in to mop up? Maybe adding Mike Forneles to pitch in his 80th or 90th game or so?

    In my dealings with work, with institutions, and with life generally, I find that firing someone pretty much always works.

    Nice AB by JBJ.

    I think he means that with the foul pole further back (as it is in all other parks), the ball, however far it might have been hit, would not have 'wrapped around' the pole but would have curved well foul before it got to the pole.
  14. jad
    Ah. I haven't been watching closely enough. I just look at the corner and figure if the ball is there, he's not going to be able to hit it.
  15. jad
    Wasn't that one of those soft low and away pitches that JD is not supposed to be able to hit?
  16. jad
    Why is Porcello throwing everything down the middle?
  17. jad
    Glad he got those frustrations out between innings.

    Agree entirely. But then, I just got back from a AA game (a double-header). Front row seats just past third base. $10. And the best parts? (1) The pitch clock! (Can't get that in MLB fast enough). And (2) NO REPLAY!!!
  19. jad
    What??? No way! Think of all the fan interest generated: Williams' pursuit of .400; Pete Rose's hitting streak; Sosa vs. Mcquire, Bonds chasing Ruth ... and now, fans just streaming into parks all giddy about who will win the dWAR race.

    The game was not lost because of the relative strength of their closers!
  21. jad
    The problem with this game is NOT the ESPN announcers!
  22. jad
    Tell JBJ that the guys in WHITE uniforms are on his team.
  23. jad
    Maybe package him up with Devers and Bogaerts for a good middle reliever. (I'd include Bradley, but you can't trade him now because his value isn't great enough).
  24. jad
    What was wrong with this crew? The rule is ridiculously simple: once the pitcher takes any position other than pitcher, you lose the DH. Thus, the 9 guys you have on the field? Those are the 9 guys in the order. The new pitcher obviously has to bat where the 1b who left the game was batting. It's hard to believe a MLB umpire crew would not be able to figure this out, even with help from NY!

    Here, we're not talking about what 'other people' do. We're talking about what you as an individual do. You believe X should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. So when you get a chance, you vote 'no'? (not knowing what anyone else is doing). Hardly a NY fan, but to suggest that Rivera is in any way a choker ('leading role in epic collapse ...') is of course ludicrous even to the most ardent Yankee hater.
