They had a f***ing dynasty, dude…
-
Maybe. There were stories about them being in it until the end, but also stories about the Padres having a deal in place. I can’t say with any certainty. Now one thing we do know is even if he was dead set on not entering August without Scherzer, he really did not have the pieces to pull it off. Certainly Turner upped the price, but the Sox couldn’t do much to match an MLB-ready starting pitchers and an MLB-ready catcher, both of whom were ranked by every agency. I really doubt an offer of Casas and Duran gets it done at that point…
-
It’s not as easy as it looks..
-
Oh I got the sarcasm. But I respond that way for those who don’t…
-
And those pucks have had 3 whole months of minor league play in the past two years to show how ready they are for MLB!! What’s the hold up here?
-
And then tomorrow you can scream about it being time to DFA Ort and bring up Durban Feltman!
-
Well, as ineffective as Richards has been, what if the DFA him and Seabold is worse?
-
I don’t know if Ort would be worse, but I would never say anyone couldn’t be worse. Seems like the hole can always get a little deeper…
-
My mistake. Still I doubt they DFA anyone based on 20 IP. Now if Richards gets a 10 day case of 24 hour flu, that’s another matter…
-
The overwhelming bulk of baseball forum posts around the Internet involve proposing transactions that would or could never happen in the real world. I’ve made far more than my share of them…
-
Rome wasn’t built in a single draft day…
-
It might happen, but I seriously doubt they would jettison either pitcher to clear a path for Connor Seabold, who has thrown all of 5 minor league innings this season…
-
Neither a Perez nor Richard can be demoted. All the Sox can do is DFA them and expose them to waivers…
-
You can obviously trust the Insider Scoop of some guy named Jeff Abramo. I wouldn’t say he punted. Reportedly he was in on talks for Scherzer and Berrios right up to the end. The problem is, the Sox simply didn’t have the prospects to outbid the winning teams…

Lotto?
-
You’re still very spry. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
-
Cue the sarcastic responses!!
-
Or, position WAR. The “A vs B vs C” scaling without any criteria is just too subjective. What were the grades even based on?
-
Without looking solely at first games, wild card winners are 7-9 in the following series to date (discounting the entirely different 2020 postseason). Better than I would have guessed. Two of them (2014 Giants and 2019 Nationals) did go on to win the World Series…
-
It’sa good post, but the conclusion shouldn’t be that stats ignore the human element. Stats are just recorded history, nota measure of ability. And they should include the ups and downs of a season. What this post does is give some good reasons for why those ups and downs exist…
-
The real negative factor in the WC game is it hampers the ability of a team to set up their rotation for a playoff series. So while a WC game is certifiably winnable, it does make the following series more difficult…
-
Cue the new theme song “Spider Tack. Spider Tack. Gives the ball the spin rate you lack”
-
Especially as it’s completely subjective with no mention of what the grades reflect or how other teams stack up. But really, taking any bets against the field is not exactly a method to show confidence. pick any team you want to bet on for the World Series and give me the field, and I’ll take that bet…
-
Four seamers are just about velocity. A two seamer is almost always thrown in the right range of 91-94 mph. I think - and I could easily be wrong - that if it gets thrown too much harder, the ball isn’t left with enough time for sufficient break, making it easier to hit…
-
Considering the article says he isn’t ready and will be in Arizona building up strength, your totals are probably a best case scenario. I’d expect he finishes with about half of those numbers, or less (2-3 starts, 10-20 IP) He might not even see the parent club in August, just like he wouldn’t had Bloom been the GM to sign him. Given the terms of his contract, the Dodgers clearly expect very little out of him. Of all the pitchers to complain about missing out on, Hamels should probably be last on the list. The Sox would have been better off outbidding the Cardinals for JA Happ or Jon Lester…
