  1. According to the latest news the Red Sox main focus is now on SS Trevor Story since losing out on Freddie Freeman.
  2. Remy and Orsillo were the best baseball broadcaster duo on the air. IMO Nesn made a big goof by releasing Orsillo them two made listening to baseball interesting and funny even when the Red Sox were losing. How can anybody forget the Remdog's classic doing his famous air guitar riff on the table. RIP Remdog
  3. Noway they changed this game enough already if you really look at it. It goes both ways sometimes the call is against you and sometimes the call in your favor. Personally I like an ump who is consistent if has a wide or high strike zone hopefully it's the same for the whole game for both teams.
  4. That's the thing for Tampa it's a regular on going situation as soon as the have to pay someone they trade them for a few good prospects and develop them into great players then it turn back into a deja vu scenario again it's nothing new for this franchise. In between the arbitration period they usually can come up with a very good competitive team that surprises everyone.
  5. Chris Sale really he could hit the showers as soon as he did in his last outing. This Tampa Bay team seem to relax and confident right now and it shows in their play. Come on a straight steal of home in a post season game nobody does that kind of s*** unless you're extremely confident.
  6. We know you've already got that one wrong. The reality is that the Rays could easily flip your prediction watching last night game the Rays have solid good pitching with a strong BP and good defense and some pop all the right combination to go far in the playoffs they didn't fluke out their divisional title this season the won it fair and square. We keep overlooking what they accomplish with a low budget and young talent with no superstar. They got another good young fireballer going today in Shane Baz could be another tough day for the Red Sox hitter today. They very well could be in WS as the AL Champions.
  7. Realistically each team has a chance to be in WC games there's different scenarios possible but if you have a Red Sox and Yankees loss and Blue jays and Mariners win then you have a 4 way tie for the WC then it would force a 2 game playoff for the advancing teams. The has to be closes race ever with 4 teams for a playoff spot sure make exciting baseball. Overall I see the Rays as being the team that will win the divisional cheampionship they have the pitching the defense and offense on a low budget team.
  8. This idiots traded Babe Ruth once and were they were the laughing stock of pro basball yet they traded Mookie Betts another baseball great now they're going to be known as the Al East laughing stockfor years to come.
  9. New Brunswick native Rheal Cormier dies at 53 after a battle with cancer. Cormier spend 16 years in the MLB with 5 teams Cardinals, Red Sox, Expos, Philles and the Reds. Born in St- Andre-LeBlanc small village near Shediac he played his minor and senior baseball in Moncton he was drafted in 6th round by the St-Louis Cardinals. Rheal best year was in 2003 with Philadelphia he was 8-0 as a reliever with a 1.70 ERA according to the Phillies that was the 2nd lowest among relievers and the 6th lowest by any club reliever in the modern era since 1900. Cormier made 84 appearances the most by a lefty Philadelphia pitcher. During his Philly tenure he appeared in 363 games as a reliever, it's the second most in club history behind Tim McGraw. Cormier represented Canada on the world stage at the 1987 Pan-American games, 1988 and 2006 Olympics and the World Baseball Classic. Rheal Cormier was inducted in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012. Canada lost a great baseball ambassador RIP my friend.
  10. Nah just suspended till they find enough players somewhere to field a team. What a joke force to play with sub-par players off waivers etc. maybe they should try the MLB pension club to see if some oldtimer would interested in playing a few games.
  11. Florida Marlin season suspended mid covid -19 one team down how many will have to go down before the MLB call it quits. David Price criticized the MLB for not taking players health seriously in consideration and putting them at risk by allow travel and not isolating. He said the measures put in place by the MLB wasn't enough to ensure everyone safe health so that's why he chose to sit out the season. I have to say right now it look like Price is right this is going to get ugly real quick.
  12. Don't get too excited yet the pitcher aren't up to par yet as soon as they do it things will be back normal again and everyone will be on his case again for swatting at dead air.
  13. The season is only 3 days old and already at risk of shut down because of covid 19 as MLB had to cancelled 2 games today because of the virus. It's just a matter of time before we have multiple teams with outbreaks.
  14. I don't think the MLB is better position than any other sport there still no social distancing everyone together in the clubhouse, team bus, airplane and dugouts. Heck I've been watching the game they're not wearing mask the sitting and talking within close proximity. Plus they're travelling across a country that's the world covid 19 hotspot with 40 of 50 state surging in new cases. The commissioner is as crazy as your dumb f@#k President he's too stupid to realize that you need to have strict measures to c this virus under control. I can see a bunch of players getting infected that is going to force this season cancelled before it's played out.
  15. The way the MLB is going about playing the season is very irresponsible. Yesterday 4 Florida Marlins tested positive for covid 19 pitcher Jose Urena catcher Jorge Alfaro first baseman Garrett Cooper and outfielder Harold Ramirez. The Marlins manager Don Mattingly said that we are taking risks everyday by playing baseball. There's too many unknown from this virus as it can attack each individual differently some recovers fully while some has secondary effects such as Rodriguez which attack the heart some have irreversible lung damage. The NHL has done it right it gathered all the teams into 2 cities upon arrival they go to the designated hotel they quarantine for 14 days nobody leaves the bubble all the food is brought in the only travel is to the arena on the team bus and back to the hotel nobody leaves the bubble for any reason they are stuck there for 2 months until the season over, Unlike the MLB which allows team to travel within the epicentre corona virus the US and to the hotspots of the virus. The Canadian government was smart by not allowing the Blue Jays to play in Canada they put their citizen ahead of sports and that's why Canada has flatten the curve and their numbers are steadily going down. The US has 10 times the population of Canada the US recorded 38 times more covid 19 cases and 17 times more death than Canada while both countries are neighbouring each other they're going in entirely in different direction Canada has flatten the curve and slowly showing sign of total recovery while The US is surging and breaking new record high in infections daily.
