    Exactly. If the score is 6-1 (either way) in the 9th tonight, no one will regret using Chapman the way Cora did…

    I assume this means in the postseason. I find it hard to believe in the some 270,000 MLB games played to date, no team has ever done this rather mundane feat before…

    I suppose Wong will replace Narvaez…

    I expect the Fully Loaded Bronx Bomber lineup today where all 9 Yankees have at least 20 HRs this year (if you count McMahon’s 16 with Colorado and Volpe’s 20th yesterday)…

    Same lineup today?

    But it’s better than most batted ball outcomes. Walks are gifts, it’s impolite to refuse them…

    Walks are vital. Hit the ball? You get on base 30-40% of the time. Draw a walk? 100%!

    Yankee Fan Paranoia. Very common. Back in 1995, the Yankees beat the Red Sox in game 161 to clinch the AL East , leaving Boston with the sole wild card. In game 162, the Yankees trotted out their B Team and lost. The problem was the Yankees had won the AL East but not home field. They needed to either win their final game or for the Angels to lose to the Rangers. The Rangers, managed by ex-Yankee skipper Buck Showslter - not a Steinbrenner fan at all - trotted out his own B Team and lost, giving the Angels home field against the Yankees. As he was still alive at that point, George Steinbrenner went on an absolute tirade, blasting Showalter and going on about the importance of respecting the game for other teams that still have stakes. Given that the Yankees didn’t take their own game seriously- and they did control their own destiny - was Steinbrenner right in this instance?

    Lose games 1 and 2 and it resolves itself. Same if the Sox win them both, although only temporarily. But win only one of the first two and - Connelly Early? Or Kyle Harrison?

    As Pedro boldly threatens a 106 year old man…

    A serious answer to this post - given all the contractual restrictions players making millions upon millions of dollars have regarding physical activities, I just don’t see them allowing rock climbing. Protecting the elbow by potentially damaging the hand isn’t really all that beneficial. Actual rock climbing has much greater risks. But even using rock climbing walls in a gym can lead to injuries that prevent a pitcher from pitching…

    So are you saying he should just be put to sleep?

    And maybe Pedro drilling Karim Garcia! I could watch that again and again…

    Thats only because they finished the year going 3-12 in their last 15 games…

    Completely irrelevant, but “Complex Tears” (pronounced “tiers”) sounds like a good title for a hit song…
  16. notin
    I can’t count Sandoval among the pitchers the Sox lost. If he never blew out his elbow,, he might not be in Boston. Small point, I know…

    And if Detroit knocks off Cleveland and Seattle, the Sox head back to Fenway! But that might be getting a little ahead of ourselves…
  18. notin
    Also Justin Wilson…
  19. notin
    He will drop down in sprint speed because of the retirement of Martin Maldonado and the likelihood of Rowdy Tellez actually getting back to MLB. This will leave him fighting Wilmer Flores, Giancarlo Stanton and a couple backup catchers for the honor of being the slowest man in MLB…

    I think it will take long enough that he will get injured again before he heals. But will the Sox offer arbitration to Lowe based on my theories?
  21. notin
    Cleveland has been on a ridiculous tear. Granted, the bulk of it was against a struggling Tigers team, a useless White Sox team, and an AAA team wearing Twins uniforms. But they did win. The Yankees 8 game winning streak looks good, but they also beat up on 2 last place teams for those wins. Boston didnt look as impressive down the stretch, but they were playing against teams fighting for postseason spots, and did manage to do pretty well against them.

    Casas is arb-eligible. If he can’t make MLB, he should be non-tendered, correct?
  23. notin
    You are a prophet, no doubt…
  24. notin
    Wrong on all counts. It’s current member of the Chicago Cubs - Drew Pomeranz…

    NBA does that as well. But those sports have a huge advantage in that everyone plays indoors…
