  1. I hope they won’t need all those pitchers to pitch one game. But why did you think Ober was in anyone’s doghouse? He’s been handled perfectly this year and is ready to go for the playoffs.
  2. Yeah, no kidding. The Wakefields asked for privacy ... Schilling is a horrible human, imo
  3. Speculation is fun ... until there's no more to speculate about 🙂
  4. Well, maybe that’s where the confusion began. But, worth every Penny. Yes, partly a statement of hyperbole due to a joy hangover. However, you said you’d do it again. Wouldn’t that mean then it was worth it, and maybe worth every Penny? And maybe we are playing the semantics game. To me, it was worth every Penny because we wouldn’t be here today without him. For me it’s as simple as that.
  5. I disagreed with you … that’s what the thumbs down means … disagree. I think you are trying too hard to break things into pieces where I’m looking at the whole package. You didn’t like his bat this year, so he’s not worth it, yet. I don’t think we’d be here without him. The unwavering leadership he has provided, the mentorship to the kids, his play on the field. Yes, his offense was off, but the fact he provided those more needed other facets, we are here. Because we are here, it’s worth it, imo, because I firmly believe we wouldn’t be without him. When was the last time we had this component? A very long time. He has been the catalyst, he has been what we have needed. Yes, we are the sum of all parts. But, again, without this part, we’d be done already, missing the playoffs altogether. It’s worth to be here. And, for the record, if you are going to compare Correa to a hotel chain, I think the Four Season might be more apt. Imo, of course.
  6. Yeah, I agree it ended up not being that close. But that's in partial thanks to Correa and partial thanks to Bichette for hesitating just a minute. The thing is, any less than absolute perfection on Correa's part, however, leads to a score. His instinct and quickness and making a spot-on throw ... saved a run. Listen to Bichette's interview post-game. He said it had to be executed perfectly to get him and it was. And given the choice, he'd do the same and run ... because it would have to be perfectly executed. I'm sure other SS could have made that play. And I'm sure plenty wouldn't have made that play. It was a good play by a heads up SS with good baseball instincts and a good arm.
  7. This is absolutely wrong. Look where everyone is standing before the play begins. Julien is pulled way over, Correa was behind 2nd base. He was covering 2nd base for a throw to come to him. As soon as Polanco bobbles it he springs into action. He wasn't standing there lazily just watching. He was covering where he was supposed to cover. I get how y'all are coming to this incorrect conclusion, but it is incorrect.
  8. Unless the Rangers beat the O's ...
  9. We'll have to wait until the next round ... and the round after that 🙂
  10. thanks! Then let's hope Texas beats the O's and we beat the 'stro's 🙂
  11. Except they don't have home field advantage for this series, and likely not for any remaining series (someone correct me if Im wrong) ... 2 in Houston, 2 at home, 1 in Houston if needed. They will have an advantage, hopefully, when they do play here.
  12. Somewhere is a photo of me in a 1965 AL champs sweatshirt … I’ll have to find that now
  13. I would consider trades a part of it because it took players within our system to get it done, but we each have our own ideas on that.
  14. Yeah, I said that elsewhere. He was cruising, too.
  15. I couldn’t watch, but on the radio they said not only did Berrios looks mad, but so did the players. It turned the tide of the mental side of the game, me thinks
  16. I didn’t know if they would, but I certainly thought the potential was there
