  1. We gave up a future Hall of Famer . And with that virtually any chance of re-signing him . I do hope that our 3 " future major leaguers " give us some value. I may not make any sense to you , but I really hate finishing in the A.L. East basement. That makes no sense to me.
  2. 20 years of Alex Verdugo is not roughly equal to Mookie. Back to work , boys.
  3. The Yankees: A season on the brink.
  4. I think Baseball Trade Values is just another of those sites where a couple of pencil neck geeks sit around playing with their computer. But it can be a fun pastime for the wannabe G.M.s out there . Just don't take it too seriously .
  5. I would think that the Dodgers having Mookie on board , enhanced their chances of re - signing him. What we got back is okay , but in no way comparable to Betts.
  6. Maybe he is waiting to see if a job opens up in New York.
  7. True . Jansen shows an alarming drop in velocity . His fastball was 88 or 89 . Dave Roberts needs to think about it . I don't think Joe Kelly is the answer. Maybe Treinen.
  8. Stages of frustration and desperation : Blame the manager. Every move he makes backfires . He needs to go. Blame the umps . Those incompetent umps are killing us . Robot umps now. The truth : The Rays are outplaying the Yanks , as they have all year. It is sometimes hard to face reality.
  9. Some folks want to get rid of almost everybody. We would just have that much bigger of a rebuild job. It is big enough as is .
  10. It may not be contagious , but it never goes away and it eventually gets us all.
  11. Losing only 60 games from Mookie was enough to kill any chances we might have had.
  12. The Yank's starting pitching is not very deep anyway. Happ is not all that good , and Deivi Garcia is very much overrated .
  13. Shortly after the cheering stopped in November of 2018 , John Henry started grumbling about spending too much and losing money on the team. That was the writing on the wall . Today , Mookie is happy , rich , loving L.A. and thinking about getting fitted for another ring . We are watching the playoffs from a distance , and crunching payroll numbers to see if we can afford to bring back Kevin Pillar . What a difference two years makes.
  14. Robert Stock seems like an interesting guy.
  15. A one - sided analysis by Jax is not exactly unusual. Par for the course.
  16. It is kind of stupid . MLB owners spend money lavishly on some areas , then go cheap on the minor leaguers . MLB needs the minors . Unlike the NFL and NBA , not too many players come out of college ready for the big show.
  17. Yankee fans , much like the Yankee manager , become confused at times.
  18. Cora cheated. He got caught . He paid the penalty . It was a one year suspension . He did not get , nor did he deserve , a lifetime ban. He has every right to manage again . That should not be an issue . I do think he would be a good choice to guide the current group of Red Sox. Go for it Bloom.
  19. That's life . Sometimes you have to take a chance . No guts - No glory.
  20. The Dodgers have a pretty good lead off hitter. And they have the look of a juggernaut . ( Kind of like the Sox of 2018 ) Anyone else going all the way this year would be a decided upset.
  21. Cora , by all accounts , did a great job in 2018. He had what was possibly the best , most complete Sox team ever assembled. But he managed them well and never missed a beat . In 2019 , he had largely the same crew back . However it was minus the closer and one of the top set up men . There were essentially no replacements for them . Then a couple of injuries and some underachievement from the starting rotation , and trouble was brewing . He never seemed to find the answers to this . All in all , he had one great year and one not so good year . Personally , I would like to see him come back in 2021 . I think he would be a good choice to guide this current group . I'm pretty sure if the Sox don't hire him , someone else will .
  22. The Marlins have arms like Sandy Alcantara and Sixto Sanchez . Not exactly household names , but they can bring the heat and can dominate a game . The Dominican seems to turn out these kind of pitchers with regularity . Also , I don't care for the idea that a division winner has to play a best two out three falls wild card series . Doesn't seem right.
  23. I can't help it . I'm a glutton for punishment.
  24. Much like the UZR workers, the movie reviewers don't simply watch the movies and decide what they think of them the way you and I do . They study the films scientifically with an advanced computerized system . They skip the popcorn and take notice of all the little details . When they issue their ratings , they are not to be disputed .
