A career public defender concedes that he wants eyewitness testimony on his side despite its lack of reliability.
-
Don't confuse reliability with persuasiveness. Eyewitness testimony may be highly persuasive with a jury despite its documented lack of reliability.

With a three-week gap as the Yankees swept the Twins in the postseason.

The Red Sox reportedly have spoken with former Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price about their pitching coach opening: Which raises the question of who is speaking on behalf of the Red Sox.

In 2018 the Red Sox won 108 games while the Houston Astros won 103 games playing in a tougher division. The Red Sox were 3-4 against the Astros in the regular season before eliminating the Astros 4-1 in the American League Championship Series.
-
As an insightful (or inciteful) poster wrote in August, in the cold, dark nights of a postseason-less October, Red Sox fans will always have warm memories of the 2018 World Series run. Or not.
-
The Yankees had a good team that lost to a better team (from the tougher division that includes my favorite team). Nevertheless, this poster will pull for the Washington Nationals in the World Series because when the Nats were struggling in April I saw two games in DC where my daughter works. No hate anywhere.
-
This poster is happy the Yankees lost but holds their 2019 club in high regard. Remarkable season. Hate should be reserved for matters more important than sports (or avoided altogether).
-
A Red Sox fan taunting a team that finished 19 games ahead of the Sox would be like a Seattle fan taunting a Red Sox club that finished 16 games ahead of the Mariners. That would never happen.
-
And some posters are most prominent only when the Yankees lose.

When was the last time the Red Sox signed a 28-year-old righthand-hitting free agent outfielder who last played for the Cleveland Guardians? -

... according to Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald:

Valid point.

This 2013 study found a meaningful correlation between Baseball America prospect ranking and future value based on MLB production: https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2013/6/3/4386214/how-well-does-the-baseball-america-prospect-top-100-estimate-the-top

This year after games of May 23 the Red Sox were 27-23 (.540) while the Washington Nationals were 19-31 (.380). The remainder of the season the Red Sox were 57-55 (.509) while the Nationals were 74-38 (.661).
-
The prospect rankings apparently were meaningful on this forum back when the Red Sox were highly ranked.
-
If Nathan Eovaldi were healthy enough to post a modest 1.0 fWAR this year, then his three-year stats might be meaningful. But at this point the righthander needs to prove that he's not broken (and we all hope Eovaldi is not broken).
-
All six of those starters posted at least 1.0 fWAR in 2018, not the negative 0.3 fWAR posted this year by Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi needs to prove he is healthy enough to post a positive fWAR.
-
Garrett Richards provides evidence why most teams would not offer a roughly 30-year-old injury-prone starter upwards of $5 million a year.
