  1. Domingo Santana is unlikely to be patrolling the outfield for Seattle in 2020. "Broxton's .514 OPS in Seattle isn't screaming" the Red Sox "COVET ME.":)
  2. The point was that a poster recommended the Red Sox acquire a player under another team's control for three more seasons. Unless that team releases Keon Broxton (which is a possibility), the Red Sox would need to trade for him. And the Mariners may need Broxton more than the Sox do. The Red Sox should probably look elsewhere.
  3. Why would Seattle give away three years of Keon Broxton when the Mariners need outfielders to bridge the gap to touted prospects Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez and Kyle Lewis? At least one poster thinks Keon Broxton has value:
  4. A harmonious poster respectfully offers substance free of personal attacks, name-calling, profanity and unfounded allegations.
  5. At least the Red Sox get a day off before and after the two-game series in Colorado. The Yankees play tonight in Los Angeles before flying to Seattle for a three-game series that starts on Monday. FWIW, Denver is closer to San Diego than Seattle is to Los Angeles. BTW the Mariners have won four straight series, the last three against AL East clubs, including two road series.
  6. On a positive note, the Red Sox won a series on the West Coast for the first time this season.
  7. Brian Johnson turns 29 years old in December.
  8. I've been to only four MLB games this year but Joey Lucchesi was a starter in two of those games: one in Washington DC and one in San Diego: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/WAS/WAS201904280.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN201905170.shtml The 26-year-old lefthander has posted 2.1 fWAR and 1.6 bWAR in 24 starts this season.
  9. What if I regularly visited a neighbor who routinely reminded me how inferior my life is?
  10. Check post #182 in this thread: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/19439-Countdown-to-Playoffs-2019-edition?p=1278065#post1278065
  11. https://library.fangraphs.com/misc/war/ https://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained.shtml
  12. Whom could the Red Sox trade to Seattle for Keon Broxton, who should have three years of team control after this season? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/broxtke01.shtml
  13. A year ago today the Seattle Mariners were four games back in the Wild Card race with a 21.1 percent chance of advancing to the postseason: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/wc?date=2018-08-23&dateDelta= The Red Sox are currently seven games back in the Wild Card race with a 3.6 percent chance of advancing to the postseason: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/wc
  14. The Guardians have a better record against AL East teams than the Yankees and Rays have against the AL Central: 2024 MLB Standings and Records: Regular Season | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The official standings for Major League Baseball including division and league standings for regular season, wild card, and playoffs. The Red Sox have feasted on the AL Central, the only division against which the Sox have a winning record.
  15. Should a Red Sox fan be happy or disappointed that the Athletics beat the Yankees to remain seven games up on the Sox in the Wild Card race? The Rays won as well to move past the Guardians into the second Wild Card slot seven games ahead of the Red Sox.
  16. I have great respect for Carl Yastrzemski although the Red Sox great contributed to one of the sadder moments of my childhood. In 1967 my Minnesota Twins had a one-game lead over the Red Sox entering a two-game, season-ending weekend series at Fenway Park. Yastrzemski entered the series tied for the American League home run lead with my childhood hero, Harmon Killebrew. The Red Sox swept the two games to advance to the World Series while Yaz and Killebrew each homered in the Saturday game to share the home run title in Yastrzemski's Triple Crown season.
  17. 6.5 games behind Oakland and Tampa Bay for the second Wild Card slot.
  18. https://study.com/academy/lesson/facts-vs-opinions-examples-games-activities.html
  19. I was ecstatic with the Red Sox comeback against the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series. Historic indeed. In the cold evenings of a postseason-less October, Red Sox fans can embrace many warm memories ... but as I write the Red Sox still trail the injury-riddled Yankees by 16 games.
  20. This response promises to elicit a laugh.
  21. Indeed. The Red Sox are on pace to finish with a better record than the Seattle Mariners for the eighth time in the last 10 seasons. And this year the Mariners should break their tie with the Red Sox for the most last-place finishes this decade. The Red Sox have four World Series titles this millenium while the Mariners have never been to the World Series. That's what makes each franchise special. Their trajectories may be shifting ... or not. https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2019/8/20/20812419/industry-experts-weigh-in-on-mariners-top-prospects
  22. FiveThirtyEight has the Yankees third as well: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-mlb-predictions/ The real race may involve Minnesota, Cleveland, Oakland and Tampa Bay for the two Wild Card slots. One should be left on the outside looking in.
  23. No argument there. It's denigration to call the remarkable 2019 Yankees a joke and "the worst 100 win team in the history of baseball." And I'm no fan of the New York Yankees.
  24. Yankee fans must be laughing at Red Sox fans who denigrate a Yankee club that holds a 16-game lead over the Red Sox. The current Red Sox record is closer to the record of the lowly Seattle Mariners than to the current Yankee record.
