And knowing that will help me sleep better at night...
-
The only way Martinez opts out is if the NL formally adopts the DH for the 2022 season before his decision date (or if Boras strongly suspects it will happen this coming off-season).
-
Being in the shift also helped. What good was checking Arozarena going to do when Devers was 45 feet away from the base anyway?
-
League minimum, and will be for two more years after which he will finally be eligible for arbitration. They did give up a very good pitching prospect to acquire him, but I don’t think that prospect has made his MLB debut yet…
-
Yeah I wasn’t sure why you did either…
-
Absolutely. But I think you misspelled his name; the proper spelling is JD Martinez. Be more careful next time…
-
If he advises it, we can assume it happens. Bogaerts isn’t paying Boras millions per year to ignore his advice…
-
Now it is possible that instead of splurging on free agents, Bloom simply extends Bogaerts. If his offer is comparable in years and cash to what Correa, Seager and Story get, than Bogaerts could easily stay. That whole situation is so volatile right now. If X is adamant about not extending, then maybe he does become trade fodder. There is literally no outcome I see as impossible, except the one where Bogaerts signs nothing and also refuses his opt out…
-
I think we all know who the DH is going to be next year…
-
Well, let me see. There was that golf one. I think it was called “Beagle That Hole.” They he made the next WNBA one “Spayed Away Jump Shot.” I think he made that curling straight-to-DVD one called “Bone Spiel.” And who can forget the classic “Play Deadball Foul” basketball remix. And his classic one based on dogs playing poker - “Mutt the Deck”. I think there were some others. Wasn’t there another baseball one called “Switch Litter”?
-
Do you actually think his agent, whose name rhymes with Scott Boras, will advise him to not opt out and therefore delay his free agency until he is 33 years old and will probably cost him about $50-100 mill when all is said and done?
-
Did YOU just malign Devers’ defense? Who are you and why did you hack mvp78’s account?
-
Did they really have any clutch hits last night? They scored on a bobble in CF, two solo home runs, and a steal of home. The announcers made a big deal that the only hit the Sox got with RISP was Bogaerts’ misplayed pop up, but the only hit Tampa got with RISP was Yandy Diaz’ trickling grounder to 3b in the first inning…
-
Do they even show an endless stream of replays of the Yankees’ own manager hitting an ALCS walkoff home run?
-
Or at the end of Air Bud 23, when he was competing at skeet. You do remember the ending of “Air Bud: Sharp Neuter”?
-
Possible the up-in-the-air status of Sale had any impact? Why go all in if you don’t even know if you’re going to be at full strength?
-
The 2020 Red Sox were eliminated in March when both Sale and ERod went down for the season. That was just too much to replace in too little time…
-
I might be alone here. But in hindsight and since the Sox got shut out, I’m at least glad Devers didn’t connect off Feyereisen in the 8th and hit the grand slam. I figure we’re going to be inundated with the Legend of Randy Arozarena enough as it is; can you imagine how many times we’d hear about that steal of home if it actually had turned out to be the winning run?
-
You do realize which team win the AL pennant last year and which one had the fourth draft pick. It’s not like the Sox are the favorites here…
-
Not yet, as the ALDS is a best of 5. So if Sale wins tonight and the Sox take both at Fenway. It’s not likely IMO but it is certainly possible…
-
Hey we knocked off your team…
-
MLB started to enforce the sticky stuff rule on June 21. From June 22nd through August 7, Matt Barnes made 17 appearances totaling 15.2 IP and had an ERA of 1.15 and an OPSA of .530. I'm not at all convinced it was the sticky stuff. He did fine for a long time without it. I tend to look for simpler solutions. Possibly that after only throwing 23 IP last year, he simply was not ready for a long season. He did not start to fall apart until early August...
-
The 1918 World Series flag is still flying. Think it intimidates the Rays? "Guys, we are going against a team that won a title back when there when the Kaiser was threatening Europe and Woodrow Wilson was still pushing for the League of Nations!! So they are clearly experienced at this kind of thing!!"
-
At least there are a few players on this team that played on that one. The only member of the 2013 team left is Bogaerts, and obviously no one is left from wither the 2004 and 2007 championship teams...
-
The Rays have won 11 of the last 16 games between the two teams and did have some post-season success as recently as last year. Those factors both might be a bit more relevant to this series than the Sox titles in 2004, 2007 and 2013...
