Yes but that doesn’t mean teams want that to be the case going forward.. because I have a bad shortstop doesn’t lead me to give up much to acquire a marginally better one

I would pay him outside the box of other GMs and would give him as much autonomy as he wants.

Well that is the positive spin .. the part where he can’t hit the floor falling out of bed part is in there somewhere too.. he has limited value and he would be a bench player on good teams as he is now for us. But he might fetch a lower prospect or two.

Actually.. I will take Gibson

I will take old Pete starting two AND coming out of the pen in another to strike out Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded

All playoff teams … there are teams like us in 2021 that lose 2/3 of games But yes, it is the team that is hot that wins..no matter how badly they may have played in July. (See NY Mets 1969)

Interesting how AJ Piersynski on broadcast described Os as the most complete team in AL , all teams with flaws going to playoffs

I am never optimistic in regards to baseball postseason. I lived through 1966 and 1969… through 1970 and 1971… through 1979 and 1983… it is always a total crapshoot. We could just as easily win the World Series as lose 3 in a row in the division series. It has been 40 years since the WS though .. we have lost postseason wise every time since 1983 .. we are due, I hope lol

I am not a big fan of the “oh we will just turn it back on for playoffs, it’s ok to look inept now” school of thought

15 straight scoreless innings against last place team

WTF Ced? Really dumb play

Great .. don’t catch the foul.. liner up the middle.. Red Sox are all on Gibson.. he has been lucky so far… sloppy double play throw

I am getting tired of Gibson too

I am getting aick and tired of the weak offense

And the fit

Free agent closers include Hader, Craig Kimbrel, David Robertson, Liam Hendricks, Will Smith, Trevor May, Daniel Hudson ..

I agree.. they won’t

That puts Bradish number 1 in ERA in the entire AL since the All Star break with Grod number 2 and that Gerrit Cole guy 3

Absolutely zero surprise here. We shall see what 2024 looks like .. always guys surprising in the pen. Cano, Coulombe were completely totally different than expected. Someone will step up. I seriously doubt a free agent closer like Hader is signed.

Maybe so, but if so, it will be matchups and performance not”leadership” that makes the call between Gibson and Kremer. The “leader” is also a free agent to be on a one year deal..if his feelings get hurt, too bad.

Pay the man. Whatever he wants. He is the key guy.

I think pitchers will be 13 in number and position players 13 Starters: Bradish , Grod, Means, Kremer Bp: Gibson, Cano, Coulombe, Wells, Webb, Perez, Flaherty, DL Hall, Irvin (or Baumann) catcher: Adley, McCann infielders. Mountcastle, O’Hearn, Frazier, Westburg, Mateo, Henderson, Urias Outfield: Mullins, Hays, Santander, Hicks No Heston

He puts too many mascots at risk for me.

O’Hearn looks awful

Get Flaherty up
