And baseball especially where many fans like to fantasize themselves as superior GM/CBOs, or even equivalent ones. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about the job TV producers do and how they could do it better. “Vincent D’Onofrio!!!?! Really!?! Law and Order would have been much better if they took my suggestion and just sprung for Michael Madsen!!”
-
Cora does have a history of pulling pitchers at unusual times. He used to do it quite often with Rich Hill. Bad management call or not, this loss is on the offense. Unless you want to argue Cora got outmanaged by gearing up for a righty opener before facing a lefty for the bulk… -
You’ll blame anything on analytics with no regard for whether or not you know what you’re talking about…
-
Isn’t that what the Sox have been doing? Guys like Hamilton and Abreu got the call while the Mayer and Anthony stayed on the farm..
-
I think this in general is one of the weirder aspects of baseball fandom. Fans decry teams that use analytics and baseball acumen to make a better team, but love it when they exploit financial advantages. I can hear their cries “stop thinking and learning and making smart decisions!! Just spend money!!” I know lots of fans think analytics are boring. But how exciting is outspending?
-
Nice yet incredibly obvious observation. Also completely immaterial with regards to the question that was asked…
-
Like Arizona did last year…
-
“Ignorant” means “lacking knowledge.” Root word is “ignore.” The statement was made as a generalization completely disregarding whether or not the teams were actually good. Your opinion is irrelevant; this definition fits…
-
He said he shouldn’t have said it, and presumably he didn’t do so because he felt he was too observant …
-
But you don’t have to be that much better to get in. The Sox are still alive. Floundering, but alive. They’re on pace to win 83 games. Not looking the part at the moment, but is that enough or not to get in?
-
You must be new to online forums. I remember back I’m in the 2009-2010, fans complaining the team hadn’t won a playoff game since game 4 of the 2007 WS. Which would be acceptable? A 90 win team that missed the postseason? Or an 84 win team that got in, lost their first two games, and was done?
-
Even the guy who said agreed. Are KC and/or Minny actually good teams? That is a factor. I actually don’t like either one that much, but that’s me. And they’ve both been hanging in there…
-
How much of that can the Sox control?
-
And let’s add some context. If the Sox get the third wild card and lose in their first series - acceptable or not?
-
If you’re judging ownership commitment, that’s one thing. But judging their record relative to other teams is unfair. And statements like how they should never lose out to Kansas City or Minnesota are just ignorant…
-
Nothing screams “entitled fan” like calling a three year post-season drought “unacceptable”…
-
Henry Ford once said “if you need a machine but don’t buy it, you will ultimately find you paid for it but don’t have it.” Apply that to pitching…
-
A-something. Not so sure it’s I…
-
That sounds like you’re confessing to writing that clickbait headline…
-
It’s also SI. Sure they’re not as reputable as they once were, but they’re not Barstool Sports either. i could see the Sox shopping Mayer, especially if they like what Kristian Campbell is doing at SS in Worcester…
-
I wouldn’t say great pitching “always” wins out . I remember Detroit once started Scherzer, Verlander and Price in a postseason series against Baltimore and lost all 3 games…
-
If so, the inclusion of the word “shockingly” does surprise. i mean, that would mean the headline writer fabricated Mayer being on the block, and was then shocked by it.
-
Mayer is reportedly on the trading block this off-season. https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox-shockingly-place-top-prospect-on-trading-block-in-proposed-winter-move-colin3
-
They were two separate transactions but they were clearly linked. If Boston didn’t move Sale, they also were very unlikely to sign Giolito…
-
Did you propose on your prom as well? That offer wreaks of overpayment, desperation and loneliness. Yes that offer will absolutely get Skubal. And possibly the Detroit CBO will throw in his wife, kids and lake house…
