  1. At least you got one team right.
  2. The Yanks die by the pen! I love it!
  3. Kinda dumb play by Judge. He wasn't getting to 3B, if he missed the ball, unless it went past him or bounced far away. He should have stooped 15-20 ft from 2B.
  4. I wouldn't sign Puig for $1M. He's cancer. (See, I'm not all about stats.)
  5. I was joking.
  6. Other questions: Do our odds of re-signing Betts improve by keeping him around in 2020? Do our odds go down on re-signing him, if we trade him this winter? Does that change by trading him at the deadline, instead? What can we get for him?
  7. I'd take him back in a heartbeat, if he wasn't going to cost us $10-11M. Many GMs would.
  8. Maybe the choice is already made: GM by committee.
  9. Some interesting numbers: Career OPS Papi .931 Regular season .947 Playoffs .943 High Leverage Reg Season .870 Late & Close Reggie Jackson .846 Regular Season .885 Playoffs .855 High Leverage .851 Late & Close Manny Ramirez .996 Regular Season .937 Playoffs 1.018 High Leverage 1.050 Late & Close
  10. They weren't "the best." They were the most popular. The games were fixed to allow fans to see who they wanted to see. I'm not even a Rockets fan. I could care less, if they won or not, but they got hosed- big time, and not just in one game. It happened so often, it can't be a fluke. I know it's easier to believe there is no scam, but the NBA is the biggest scam in sports, because they've conned people into thinking it's all for real. The WWE knows most people know they are fake.
  11. Yes, if that rookie gets a hit in that game down 10-0, and it saved him from being demoted and possible never getting to play in the bigs again, it might have been more clutch than Papi's HR.
  12. 1) I'm not trying to quantify everything- not even things that can be quantified, let alone those that never can be. 2) A rookie trying to stay in the bigs might view an AB as high leverage, but I don't, if it's a 10-0 game. I'm okay with you thinking it is. 3) Certainly some important ABs are more important than others. Nobody disputes that. 4) Certainly some players have better numbers in important situations than others. That's to be expected, even if everything is 100% random. (It's not, BTW.)
  13. The games are too long anyway. Who wants to sit through two games in a row?
  14. Are you saying people didn't want to see that match-up because it was Oakland and Cleveland? Nobody will ever convince me the NBA is not fixed. It's almost like WWE.
  15. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/li/ I like the Late & Close stat, but this capture some earlier inning moments when the game may be on the line, too.
  16. And, east coast fans are better.
  17. People wanted to see Curry vs LeBron. The NBA is fixed.
  18. That's what the NBA figured out and now makes sure that never happens anymore.
  19. Except when it's ovak- like it is.
  20. Something has to give when two teams with momentum clash. The Sox had won 98 games in 2004- in a much tougher division and league.
  21. Always makes me wonder why he didn't have the surgery a year ago.
  22. There you go! A real expert at running the bases!
  23. Gorkys and Josh Smith clear waivers and were outrighted to Pawtucket. Yipeee!
  24. It's more about my lack of faith in Eovaldi and Price. Price pitched 7 innings in mid April and was never allowed to do it again, despite pitching very well, at times. He'll be a year older in 2020. Eovaldi's history speaks for itself. Sale is a fierce competitor. I have more faith in his health than the others, yes. It's not a slam dunk by any means.
  25. But, but, but... What about Little League?
