  1. Just kind of funny things I think about, but who made the pre-season wager that Money would be our SS, Sogard would be our 2B, that Crochet and Anthony basically miss the year, and that we'd still be in the hunt? Or that we'd have three infielders getting regular times, obtained in a trade using a throw-in player from the Devers trade?
  2. I don't think they could've done it, but could he have gone for the traditional DP by throwing to 2nd first? Abreu got a pretty good break out of the box.
  3. I assume so because I am always prepared for a fight. And I feel very good about Anthony both returning and contributing. I don't feel as strongly about Crochet returning, but if he does, he and Bello could make a heck of a bulk reliever tandem. Story, TBH, I'm not sure I want back. I might be able to justify it mathematically, but the 2026 Red Sox belong to the kids. It's their team, and I'd make it a point to say it's their team. And if I was Story, I'd make it a point to say I was happily the #26.
  4. I'd guess that's in the plans. As soon as LV and TB are settled in new stadiums, add two teams to make it an even 32. Four divisions, four WC teams, maybe cut back on regular season games and expand the playoffs. That could be an excellent bargaining chip for both sides for the new CBA. More revenue can put out a lot of fires.
  5. Just for fun, JJ or White? I think JJ is better, and maybe clearly better, but White provides a few more options.
  6. Nice chart. I like that we can put out a good lineup against either lefties or righties.
  7. Gaspar has a 1.464 OPS since his return. To PH for him in that situation, and to be right, is just slightly short of inspired.
  8. You're assuming the baserunner slides into 2nd. All he has to do is to stop between the bases and there is no chance to tag him before the run scores. I'd also add that Abreu scorched the ball. That's all you can do.
  9. Catching the Rays is very unlikely, but would be huge. That would give us the best record in the AL and make us a nominal favorite to go to the WS. But catching the NYY would be pretty big as well.
  10. They've also missed some GS with Cole, Fried, and Rodon. The NYY are legit and won't go down quietly.
  11. We need to pull to within two games of the NYY when we face them in NY. Not getting ahead of myself, but that would pull us into a tie, with us having the tie-breaker.
  12. Just random, but I noticed that the BP won it for us, but we didn't have to use our key guys. That gives us Bello to back up the possibly worn-out Bennett, plus the regular game-end guys.
  13. I haven't given Sogard any props so far, but I'm getting a bit of a Meidroth vibe from the guy. Like the dude doesn't know when to give up and go home. And it's been a long time coming, but the 2nd lowest OPS on the starting team tonight was .722. MLB average is .719. Meaning that we had 8 hitters with an above-average OPS (SSS notwithstanding).
  14. Yes, but this decidedly a one game at a time type of team. And not that it means much, but tonight's results moves us ahead of the NYY in Py W/L, making us #4. And our run differential is now #1 in the AL.
  15. Meh, I take it back. Tonight is a night for celebrating. Tracy is giving me vibes from Cora in 2021, when every single BP substitution seemed to work out.
  16. I've seen him post for about 20 years. Other than his daily "I predict the RS will lose tonight" being right 40% of the time, has anyone seen him be right about anything?
  17. Maybe he can't hit, but having a 1.196 OPS over the past 7 days might have to suffice.
  18. We might not be able to hit, so we will have to rely on being the best offensive team in MLB since the AS break.
  19. The dude also had style. I love those older Cuban players. Minoso was one of my favorites.
  20. Duran is tougher than most to figure out, but his history makes him easy to start. Frustrating, sure, but his downside is probably league-average. While his upside is near AS.
  21. I'll take a win any way I can get it, but I'd prefer to use a 6-man rotation, with Bello in the bulk role. Or being available in a Bennett or Tolle game and restricting those two to 3-4 innings.
  22. I thought 'denying it later' was part of the TOS on this site?
  23. Sometimes pitchers change their approach with a big lead. Pitching well gives way to not walking anyone.
