It feels like we have several more runs coming, but one never knows. James has been tough.
-
This is baseball-- the way it is supposed to be. Hope we pull it out.
-
This game is a seesaw!
-
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
We need Kelly to get us through the 5th
-
Beni is hitting it hard, finally for power.
-
Porcello just didn't have it, tonight.
-
Great call on the non HR. At first, I thought Betts closed his glove too early and it was a homer.
-
What a game, so far.
-
Only if it continues.

Machado wants to play SS not 3B. He's not a fit.
-
I really didn't mean to start a debate on Devers. I love the guy. I wanted him to start over Nunez, even against some lefties. We have no better defensive options at 3B with Nunez hobbled. To me, Devers is clearly the best offensive choice. Let's hold this debate for the long days of winter. Right now, Devers is the man.

To me, the angles from the side show it going straight into the glove as the glove slams into the metal on the wall. I'm pretty sure it was a catch, but I can't be certain. One angle is not conclusive.
-
True, but Devers has yet to reach the World Series.
-
I don't want Machado on the Sox and will not be a fan of his, even if he is a Sox.

Clemson's schedule is a joke. They almost lost to Syracuse.
-
I watched that view over and over. It looks like a catch to me. It looks like his glove hits the wall as the ball falls into his glove's web. I can see how someone might view it differently. The other angles look even more like a catch than this one. I'll change my 99.9% to 75% catch. I can see how the replay was not "conclusive" to overturn the call on the field.

To me, it looks like a 99.9% catch. I'm trying to assume it hits the wall, but I just don't see it in any of the 3 angles shown here... http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=25000739

cp claims it was off the wall.

IMO- a clear catch.

IMO, it look like a clear catch. The ball goes right into the web of his glove as his glove clangs against the metal wall.

Since the pre A ball. His defense sucks, but that doesn't mean I don't like him.

Circus of clowns on defense, yes. That was clearly my point. I'm a huge Devers fan, but his 3B defense is awful. I warned about this exact situation before the year started (see my sig Moose not Moreland rants). He can improve. He's got decent range. Foot work and arm accuracy can be worked on. If he doesn't get any better on defense, I'm not sure we can risk another playoff cycle with that defense. I'm real close to saying he should be moved to 1B next year. Trade the duplicate lefty bat value Moreland and save some money at the same time. Find a real 3Bman who can field and hit. The rest of the resources goes to pen upgrades. We'll look at 2B after the season starts. Let Devers hit 45 HRs at 1B/DH next year. I don't blame DD for not doing better at 3B. He signed JD and brought the team right up to the $40M penalty line without going over. There was nothing left to spend on 3B. He spent $11M on Nunez and chose Moreland over Moose.

Teams that live and die by the home run, often die early. No data to back this up, but as the pitching improves for the playoffs, those scrappy base hit guys seem to do better than the big beefy HR guys.
