    Leave him out there and let him take the pounding.

    Damn shift ban. Probably a two run single last year.

    Homer doesn’t bother me, especially a solo shot. The two walks do bother me.

    I had an MLB.TV sub, but did not and will not be renewing it. Where I live in Illinois (the Iowa border), blackout rules apply for Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, Brewers, Twins and Royals games. That’s 24-26 games plus any ESPN/Fox/Apple games on top of that. I just can’t condone the blackout rules. Cubs snd White a Sox I get. Cardinal and Brewer team broadcasts haven’t been shown in this area in 30 years, the Twins and Royals have never been shown here. I’ve been able to gets around it via a VPN but late last year they seemed to have blocked that avenue as well. So I’ll just listen to Castiglione et al on satellite radio.

    I tend to think he is still technically serving his 5 year commitment. The Navy probably took him off active duty and placed him in reserve status, so he is still subject to being recalled to active duty in the next couple years (unlikely, but possible). They did something similar with David Robinson 30+ years ago. Edit - saw Bellhorn posted and then deleted something about selected reserve. That means he is required to report for duty once a month and two other weeks per year. It is considered active duty status but not full time, which might explain the 10 year obligation.

    There’s an old Star Trek episode (the original series) where at a diplomatic conference, Spock’s father (an ambassador) says to one cantankerous delegate “Tellarites do not argue for reasons, they just argue.” Sort of reminds me of much of this thread.

    Wonder if they could do what the Twins did with Correa and give Swanson a big 1 year deal; He'd likely be the big name SS next offseason instead of #5 or 6 like this year. Just a thought.

    Worse than Haywood Sullivan? A guy with your moniker surely must remember the immortal Haywood Sullivan.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Reports are no opt outs and a no-trade clause. There is no way I give any player an 11 year deal at age 30.

    Context is important here. Yes, 9 teams have more, but 8 of them are the original National League teams which date back to 1876. The American League didn’t get started until 1901, and among those teams, the Sox trail only the Yankees (who also are behind the NL 8). 25 extra seasons is a lot of games. Percentage wise, the Red Sox are 5th, behind the Yankees, Giants, Dodgers and Cardinals.

    So summarize what was said and/or provide a link.

    Verlander is 0-6 in 7 World Series starts, so maybe that's what they were talking about? He's 8-1 in the DS and 6-4 in the LCS; 7-6 overall with Houston (0-3 in the World Series)
  13. illinoisredsox
    Losing 3 games in 3 days by a combined 47 runs will do that to a team's Pythagorean.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Totally agree, and I’m certain what happened to Jerry was a big part of Eck’s decision. Family comes first and you can’t get time back.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Exactly. He’s a good player. He’s not a great one. Expecting him to carry a team is foolhardy.
  16. illinoisredsox
    It’s a skill set in the sense that some players have the ability to relax in a big moment or not let it overwhelm them, allowing them to perform within the normal parameters of their natural ability. Non-clutch players tense up and thus their natural ability is diminished.
  17. illinoisredsox
    If we’d gone 10-9 vs the Jays, we’d have the same record as the Orioles, 82-77.
  18. illinoisredsox
    They could do far worse for a #5. If he’s pencilled in as the #3, they are in deep trouble for 2023.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He’d be in line for another start on Tuesday or Wednesday against the Rays.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Based on the 20 day minimum, Cordero did burn an option year this season when he was sent down. Dalbec did not; he was sent down on 9/4 and recalled on 9/22 which is 18 days.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Guess he was correct. But not by much
  22. illinoisredsox
    Too bad they don’t give Bello this type of offense.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I was responding to a post about tonight’s pitching being Woo-ful. But you are correct on position players (though the first 3 will likely be on the team to start next season).
  24. illinoisredsox
    Tryout night for next season. Nobody seems to want to make the team.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Why risk some position player getting hurt?
