    I’d take Roman over Wood, but I’d take Wood over Campbell or Abreu…

    Last year KC made the postseason despite being under .500 when not playing the White Sox…

    A brick column? He’s built like a Jenga tower halfway through the game…

    Just to emphasize the even more obvious - Breslow could have passed on Lowe and his negative WAR and .665 OPS that just got him released from one of the worst teams in the league. Liwe might have chosen Boston. But that doesn’t mean presence is completely separated from Breslow…

    The really weird part to me is he was a good minor leaguer, but not a great one. He’s crushed MLB pitching much worse than he did to minor league pitching. Weakness to exploit?

    It’s a little silly h that some folks like to emphasize all last place finishes are equal. The Sox last 3 cellars (not counting 2020) were all with 78 win teams. 78 wins isnt really all that bad and certainly not close to 60 wins. In fact, since MLB has gone to 3 divisions, only 4 teams have finished 5th in their division with as many as 78 wins, and the Sox have been 3 of them. If a team finishes in 5th with 78 wins, it might say more about the division than it does about the team…

    No. Star players need to play by the same rules as everyone else…

    Did this really happen?

    Nobody other than maybe Steve Matz and Dustin May was happy with his performance at the TD. But that he should be FIRED for it is flat out ignorance. His job is much, much more than a couple days at the end of July, and there is a world of difference between Breslow and Bloom at the deadline…

    That can’t be. He was very active at the trade deadline…

    Washington needs pitching. Maybe some middle infield help…

    Clutch those pearls with anger!!!

    So if they get in and lose two quick games in Cleveland, they’re not flops. But if they lose out on that last spot on a tiebreaker, they’re not flops. That’s a hard line in the sand. i look at it this way. When was the last time we were still even talking post season and using phrases like “Magic number” at the 157 game mark?
  14. notin
    … which puts the Sox magic number at 3
  15. notin
    Absolutely not. Losing out in a tight race that was always tight isnt choking. It’s not like the 2007 Mets…

    You’re just giving Ryan an excuse for sucking. He gets paid better for success in these “meaningless” games…

    The Sox are not cruising, but they are far from flopping. The Tigers, on the other hand, are on the verge of the worst collapse in MLB history. At one point, they had a 15.5 game lead over Cleveland. Completely gone. This would be the largest deficit ever erased in MLB history, eclipsing the 15 game deficit the 1915 Boston Braves overcame to pass the Phillies…

    Offense. And FredLynn. Not sure he’s prepared to see the Sox in the postseason…

    The one game playoff was a lot of fun. More so watching Matt Holliday face plant the winning run than for watching Yaz meekly pop to third with the tying run on base. But expanded post seasons have eliminated it because MLB should do its best to keep games out of November as much as possible. I hate tiebreakers in any sport. But settling everything on the field can the postseason out too far…
  20. notin
    Are you asking me to eliminate them? I think that might be illegal. But maybe not in Kansas City?
  21. notin
    Gee. Who would have expected all this negativity?
  22. notin
    What would keep them out? Asteroid strike on the continental US that wiped out all life and cast a nuclear winter upon the remainder of the world? That and the Yankees going 0-6 while being passed by Boston, Houston and Cleveland while tying Detroit for the last WC (Detroit has the tiebreaker). You certainly that asteroid apocalypse thingy is 99.9% unlikely? And second question, are you For Imprint for certain?
  23. notin
    They had just battled back to 1 game over .500 when they traded Devers. Since then, they’re 48-35 (ish). Do you really think the thought process was “we’re not serious contenders” as opposed to “this is working”?
  24. notin
    … and they were…
  25. notin
    Is it? Is there any possible scenario in which the Yankees do not make the postseason?
