    While Kelly might have a higher ceiling, and Hembree to a lesser extent, I think the chances Poyner and Workman do better is slightly higher. I won't be upset, if they choose Kelly and/or Hembree, but I wouldn't pick either one for the ALDS.

    They could change the rules to say all 3 division winners advance, but the two wild card teams are seeded by record. This year, it would not have been a need for division winning, one game deciders. The 2018 playoffs would have looked like this: AL BOS(1) vs CLE(5) @ OAK(4) play-in winner NYY(3) @ HOU(2) NL CHI (1) vs ATL (5) @ COL (4) play-in winner LAD(3) @ MIL(2)

    I wonder, if they looked at Sevy-Happ as a 50-50 choice and chose Sevy, because they wanted Happ twice vs the Sox.

    The one we have now might end up 3rd on the list.
  5. moonslav59
    Do you even listen to yourself?
  6. moonslav59
    I'm not scared of Happ and neither are Sox hitters. There's all kinds of examples where a pitcher seems to have our number for a game or two and then BAM!

    There's no reason to fret. It's... Chris Freakin' Sale
  8. moonslav59
    They went 13-11 after having that lead. It's more about the Brewers doing very well.

    Who played RF when Dewey played CF? Bernie Carbo?
  10. moonslav59
    Crazy time in the NL this year!

    I think Sale is going to dominate. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Cy Young Porcello shows up. He's mature and experienced. I like Price, too, and his poor PO record barely concerns me, but I like Sale & Porcello more. Too bad ERod got hurt and hasn't returned to his previous form. The kid was near unbeatable at one point.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, he could, but there was little reason to do it. In Fenway, RF is a very important defensive position. It almost is as important as catcher and SS.

    That just seems wrong. The Braves are rewarded for playing in the weakest division. With unbalanced schedules, there will always be some sort of injustice.
  14. moonslav59
    I'm not afraid of anyone. I just always root for the Yankee opponent. It's a habit.
  15. moonslav59
    I think the final pitching decision comes down to choosing 2 from (my order top to bottom) Poyner Workman Kelly Hembree (Cuevas and Thornburg very long shots) 9 made it: Sale, Price, Porcello, Eovaldi, ERod, Wright, Kimbrel, Brasier & Barnes

    Reminds me of my Freshman year when Joe Montana started the championship season as our 3rd string QB. (Dan Devine was our idiot coach.)
  17. moonslav59
    GO A's!!!!

    I'd keep Betts in RF for all 81 home games, if possible, but I can see using JD in RF at Yankee Stadium with Betts in CF.
  19. moonslav59
    I can't see anyone else starting game 1, except Sale... even an 80% Sale.
  20. moonslav59
    Bench bat for who? Phillips and Travis aren't better hitters than anyone but our catchers, and we can't really PH for our catchers without 3 of them. I guess we can take our chances and PH once late in a game and hope the 2nd catcher does not get hurt, but having Swihart & Vaz on the roster makes sense. Vaz is the personal caddy for Porcello and Eovaldi. Leon for Sale & Price. Swi letws us PH for a catcher once a game with no fears and maybe twice in a pinch.
  21. moonslav59
    So true.
  22. moonslav59
    A big head's up for those who want us to trade JBJ and move beni to CF.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm glad he chose to go with just 11 pitchers. I've been making that case for many weeks. There is no need to worry about options for the playoffs. They don't matter. I see a number of reasons to go with 3 catchers: 1) Swihart can also play 1B and OF. 2) We can PH for our catchers 1-2 times every game. 3) We shouldn't need to PH for anyone not a catcher, except maybe for Kinsler or the platoon situation at 1B. 4) We have no great defenders on the bench that make a big difference as late inning replacements, except maybe at 3B, if Devers is in the game. Even then, is the upgrade to Nunez better than the upgrade of PH'ing for Leon? 5) Since Swihart, Nunez, Holt and Peacre can play multiple positions, so the 3rd catcher really doesn't hurt the rest of the bench much. 6) With 5 dayds off before game 1, and 2 days off in the 7 day series, we shouldn't need 12 pitcher.
  24. moonslav59
    I think he'll average around .300 to .310 over the next 8 years. I can see his OBP nearing .390-.400. 15-25 HRs seems about right.
  25. moonslav59
    The problem is, nobody on our team knows how to bunt, except for maybe Holt.
