  1. That was when the Dodgers faced the Astros in 2020 for the first time after the cheating scandal came to light in the previous off season. Google ‘Joe Kelly Carlos Correa’ and you’ll come up with plenty of video. He was pitching about as well then as he did tonight
  2. How do you figure? Because the Sox didn’t score there?
  3. Man ... he looks and sounds really, really awful
  4. wow ... Larussa looks HORRIBLE ... is he drunk?
  5. Ozzie is classic on that ... can't wait to hear his breakdown on the triple play
  6. It's music. Because it's what I need right now. A baseball game doesn't do it.
  7. I'm listening to this instead: https://cso.org/experience/audio/10325/variations-on-america?fbclid=IwAR32LIwrgMeniE-708QhYiZpq2ZnUKFunNztyzH6IUSuIzsv9mMc4czP2xA Enjoy the game everyone!
  8. A 10-yr old girl in Ohio was raped, which resulted in a pregnancy. At 6 weeks, she cannot get an abortion in Ohio ... rape is not an exception, even if the victim is 10 yrs old ... this is God's will? Really? I don't understand this. She was working with a doctor in Ohio who specializes in abused children who connected her with a colleague in another state where she will get the health care she needs. I don't know if any states have laws (yet, I know some are pending) to gag doctors from giving out any kind of help or information for patients to seek help out of state. The anti-abortion movement is NOT about pro-life.
  9. Overplayed his hand and no one bought at the start if the season when he likely could have gotten a deal done
  10. Let's have a vote ... Choice 1: Choice 2: Choice 3:
  11. Well, I think the Bringer of Jollity is important to a game
  12. Well, or you could take an hour nap and come back to the same score as if you missed nothing
  13. I didn't tune in until now ... what Holst?
  14. And if not, we know he's a jinx and he can never return
  15. We didn't dump Tyler Wells ... it's really an important distinction. I was actually more disappointed to lose him than Baddoo.
  16. I don't really care how a bp is set up and who pitches when. I see value in being flexible and using certain pitchers in certain ways in certain situations. If it's to 'close', it's to close; if it's to piggy back in long relief, great; or using analytics to decide the best matchups between our pitchers and their batter. I really don't care. Traditional or new method, the bottom line for me, which is in the title of the article ... middle relief ACES. That's what you need. It's why the Royals were so good in '14, '15 ... because they had a shut 'em down, close it up bp, not because the bp had tradition roles. It matters the arms they had to rely on once the starter was done, whether that was 4, 5, 6, 7 innings or whatever. Reliable bp arms ... that's the secret, that will always be the secret, no matter the method you set up within your organization. Relief aces are not a dime a dozen and cannot be done by reclamation alone. And you will need to pay for it. Maybe not as much as a costly starting pitching ace, but ... relief aces will cost. My frustration with this year isn't using analytics and matchups, I'm good with that. It's not having reliable choices that has cost us, not when we use how.
  17. It totally was ... so you must have one for breakfast every morning to keep the streak going!
  18. Let's just enjoy the win for a few minutes before pouring cold water on everything
  19. ahh ... okay ... I did not get that ... thanks for the explanation
  20. I'm going to take this as you trying to give a counter jinx ... this time ... and it worked ... this time
