    The mere thought makes my liver quiver and my bladder gladder…

    It could be worse, Like at Red Wings games when the fans all throw dead octopi on the ice after each opposing goal, a practice that begs several questions. Like How did this start? Did a fan bring a dead octopus to a game? How did he get it past security? Did he throw it on the ice after a goal and everyone around him thought “next time, I’m in”? Do they sell dead octopi at games? Do they recruit bad goalies to bolster sales of dead octopi? Do they have vendors on the stands yelling “Octopi!! Get your dead octopi HEEEYAH!!”? Or did they have Octopi Day where the first 10,000 fans were given a dead octopus? And did those fans get to their seats and think “Hey! What the f*** do I do with this raw, dead, stinky cephalopod?” And as luck might have had it, the opposing team scored at that point? So much to ponder…

    Torii did always seem so affable in interviews. And he remains the one free agent I’ve ever heard admit he signed for the money with the Angels, when he said “my grandma said I’d be stupid to turn down that much money.”

    And take full note of the fact that his grasp of the strike zone hasn’t changed…

    Over the course of 162 games, a Soto-Grisham-Judge outfield is far superior defensively. And Judge certainly is a better RF than Soto, the most questionable Gold Glove nominee in recent years. But Boone felt it necessary to splay Verdugo and his .647 OPS while benching Grisham and his .675…

    It’s Boone’s fault. The Yankees had an excellent defensive centerfielder on their roster, but benched him in order to keep Verdugo and his .647 OPS in the lineup…

    Soto will be a Yankee, a Dodger, a Phillie, or a Met. The rest of the league will either pass or serve as bidding war fodder…

    He actually had a .836 OPS in the World Series. It’s below his career numbers, but it’s not exactly bad…

    He had a better series than Ohtani…

    Betts was the best all around player in the series, but the biggest surprise on defense had to be Teoscar Hernandez…

    They pretty much all make stupid money…

    No. Next question…

    So did Joe Davis just call Mookie the first active player with 3 World Series rings? Did he forget Joe Kelly was his teammate on all three teams?

    They grabbed his arm and his glove and it looked like they tried to defend their actions since he came into their area across the wall, despite replays clearly showing they leaned over. Im glad they got banned after shelling out a couple grand to watch one inning of a World Series game…

    It’s hard to score him fairly for 2020. Eovaldi’s main flaw is durability. You can’t penalize him for 9 starts and 48 IP in a 60 game season. But you can’t really credit him for his durability in it either. He had a bad 2019. An outstanding 2021. And a moderate/questionable 2022….

    Hopefully the Sox realize using bullpen games in the postseason isn’t the same as counting on them in the regular season. Hopefully they learned their downfall this past season was a complete lack of SP depth…

    His deal with MLBN is much sweeter. What’s his biggest pressure? Picking a questionable necktie?

    Half the players in the league recommend players to their CBO. Many of them are not GMs for a reason…

    They might still lose. But they certainly don’t win in that inning.

    I classify Whitlock in the same category as Sale, Eovaldi and Wacha - their issues are not related to talent…

    I like that analysis. A game isn’t just one play. The true worst part of game six was it was such a letdown after coming so close that when Carter was up, the broadcast cut to the CF scoreboard saying “Congratulations Boston Red Sox. 1986 World Series Champions”, it still made all of game seven feel like a loss. Even up three runs in the sixth, the whole game was impending doom…

    It looks like they just sort of quit after Giolito went down. They still had 5 SPs lined up, but one of them was the notoriously fragile Whitlock…

    Sale was Atlanta’s reclamation project, just like Kluber was in Boston. They had no idea he was healthy, and in fact missed two months with a shoulder injury during those two attempts to acquire him. This shouldn’t be a surprise; lots of teams gamble on pitchers this way. They quite often don’t work out, and rarely do as well as Sale did. But they didn’t “know” he was healthy and very likely didn’t declare him so after 40 IP, especially if they tried to acquire him the year before.
