  1. Home plate umpires typically defer check swing calls anyway...
  2. There are actually fantasy baseball leagues for umpires (true!!) where you score based on their ejections. Do you want to take that away? In your defense, it might be a step towards helping the participants in those leagues get a life...
  3. His highest K/9 this year was in August. But the last 2 months of the season span 17 IP over 60 days...
  4. Pitching in ballpark with a left field wall as close as the monster but without all the the height might be a factor. Also they brought in the CF fence recently...
  5. not to mention, how are managers going to argue with robot umps? Will they run out on the field yelling "01110000 01101001 01110010 01100001 01101110 01101000 01100001 00100000 01110000 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011 00001010 00001010 00001010!!!"?
  6. Sandoval comes off the books in time for Bogaerts and Sale's free agency, which is when the Sox need him gone by...
  7. Garret Richards!!
  8. He might be more comfortable, but, and this truly bothers me, the Yankees do seem to be a team every star player wants to play for since childhood. Also his agent has boat payments...
  9. I’d rather we entered the era of that “piranha in the pants” thing...
  10. It never seems to be remembered that way, but, yes, the tying run came in on a passed ball just before that, and it also put Knight in scoring position...
  11. You sure about that? A lot of these super competitive types like pressure. Success under pressure is how legends are made...
  12. I hated the Buckner play when it happened, but some of the jokes were funny...
  13. He’s missed almost all of the last two seasons and didn’t have a lengthy track record before that. He might be obtainable on a minor league deal. Certainly no one is going multiple years on Smith...
  14. Think they can outbid the Yankees, who know their downfall is starting pitching and will have fewer big contracts mucking up their payroll next season?
  15. So... you’re saying the act of closing out games could be handled by a group of pitcher? A committee, if you will. Interesting. Makes me wonder why no one has ever tried this “committee of closers” before....
  16. That’s why we make up words like “threepeat” and “quadropoly”. Ok I made that last one up...
  17. What if Bill Mueller was hitting into a shift?
  18. If you had two games to start and needed to choose from Price, Eovaldi and Rodriguez, how could anyone pick both Eovaldi and Rodriguez?
  19. Unless Pedroia is the next Kinsler. Kinsler got injured and had a .604OPS. I think at the very least, we can get that from Pedroia...
  20. So you think the Sox can't beat the Dodgers, but should walk all over a team that can?
  21. Smith's chances of being offered arbitration and making the Sox next season are only slightly better than my chances. And Thornburg isn't a lock to be tendered an offer either...
  22. I wouldn't say it's a good chance. But he is another option...
  23. .. was traded to the Nationals today for bonus pool money. I thought teams were not supposed to make deals during the post-season so as to not draw attention away from the games still being played...
  24. Kershaw in pinstripes. Book it...
  25. Agreed. And the Sox will still have Holt, Nunez and Lin backing up in the infield. If Pedroia is actually healthy, he is going to get every chance to take back his position. If he isn't, maybe they fill it mid-year like they did this season...
