    Miley has been amazing. Go Brew Crew!

    Beni has been hot as well. I doubt JBJ or Beni are on the bench to start all 3 games. I think JBJ sits 2 and Beni 1 (v a lefty). We might see Betts at 2B for one game and Beni and JBJ both sitting out just one road game. The best solution is to just win in 4, so we only have 2 NL road games.

    I'm sure Cora wishes he had a Manny right now to deal with. Without Manny, Tito likely has no rings. I get the longevity argument, and I can understand why some will not see Cora as the best until he has more years under his belt, but to me, Cora is doing things no other Sox manager has dared do. His use of analytics balanced with his feel for what is right seems to be better than even Tito at his best. I know, I know, Cora needs to win a ring before any definitive judgement can be made in his favor, and like all managers, there will likely be lean times (see "the cliff"), but pound for pound I like Cora better, despite the limited sample size.

    Tito was fantastic. At the end of his time here, he lost some control, for reasons that are totally understandable. Even then, he was a way better manager than I could even dream of being.
  5. moonslav59
    Fantastic post. The commissioner does need to do all he can to try and fix these problems, but the owners are the ones who make the final decisions. I'm not sure why any NL owner clings to their anti-DH stance.
  6. moonslav59
    ...and it does not mean all managers are equally better than the best of us. Some are much better than others. Anyone know how to create a thread with a poll?
  7. moonslav59
    I'll sign on to the proclamation. I'll add that even though I know Tito and JF knew more than I did, I still felt we could improve. Yes, they are/were all better than I, but Cora is better than all of them. He's the best we've ever had.
  8. moonslav59
    He'll try, if only to save face for all the money he may make doing nothing. My point is, Sox management should plan the roster as if he is not even an option. With Nunez, Holt, Hernandez, Lin, Quiroz and maybe others all on the roster, we'll probably stand pat at 2B this winter, so the job is there for Pedey, if he can win it (doubtful).
  9. moonslav59
    3 for 15 but a .400 OBP.
  10. moonslav59
    I'd love to see him in pinstripes. 1) His contract will cripple them into a cliff. 2) His cancer will spread and engulf the whole team. 3) He's over-rated anyways.
  11. moonslav59
    I think you are right. I'm sure we're not counting on anything from Pedey going forward.
  12. moonslav59
    Does all this outweigh the bat of... JBJ vs Kinsler/Nunez/Holt?
  13. moonslav59
    All his movies suck.
  14. moonslav59
    I forgot about that game. Maybe we try it. at LA 1. Betts 2B 2. Beni LF 3. JD RF 4. Bogey SS 5. Devers 3B 6. Pearce-Moreland 1B 7. JBJ CF 8. Vaz-Leon C 9. pitcher
  15. moonslav59
    cots had us at $233M on 7/18/18. That is counting the $14M to player benefits. I think we structured the Eovaldi and Pearce trades to help us stay just unter the $40M over mark.
  16. moonslav59
    You're assuming Beni doesn't catch the ball, AND it gets by him far enough away to allow 3 runs to score.
  17. moonslav59
    My guess is Cora sits JBJ 2 games and Beni 1 vs a lefty. I seriously doubt they ask Mookie to play 2B after not using him there for ages. They should have had JD learn some 1B in ST'ing. If AGon can play RF, JD should be able to play 1B.
  18. moonslav59
    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Eovaldi return. I'm just not sure we can afford him.
  19. moonslav59
    I totally can see why people have differing opinions on Manny. I also agree with you on Farrell being a great guy. I just don't think he was that good of a manager.
  20. moonslav59
    Lots to choose from... Dodgers NLCS Roster with yearly OPS .973 Muncy 1B Platoon .924 Turner 3B .843 Pederson LF/DH? .830 Freese 1B Platoon .825 Machado SS .820 Puig RF .818 Kemp OF/DH? .814 Bellinger 1B/OF .815 Grandal C .807 E Hernandez CF/2B .775 C Taylor LF .696 Dozier 2B
  21. moonslav59
    They added CF padding after Lynn broke his back out there. Is it going to take Betts breaking something to make a change there?
  22. moonslav59
    Neither did any MLB GMs.
  23. moonslav59
    I agree totally, except for Manny. I didn't think he was an attention seeker. I think he was just an immature kid (into his 30's) having fun playing baseball. Some of his antics did garner attention, but I do not think that was his intent. He was a bit of a clown and had his bad judgemtn moments, but he took hitting very seriously. He hardly ever argues with umps or slammed his bat down in disgust after a K. He also was the first to the park more times than not.
  24. moonslav59
    That might also support the "over-throwing" argument.
  25. moonslav59
    How about making the top of the walls 4 feet thick, with a small plexi glass riser on the fan side of it to prevent any yahoos from climbing onto it? This would not only prevent fan interference, but it would keep players from tumbling into the stands.
