i wonder, did BVal also get tossed because he didn't know the rule? Or was he tossed because he thought the ump was too quick in tossing AGon? If it was for not knowing the rule, then this Red Sox team becomes my second favorite team- loving them for the same reason I watch Nascar, for the crashes! Can't wait to see what the Big Dig 2 will look like in the off-season. :)

It looked to me more like a "oh man, now I have to go get tossed to back up my player" ejection to me.

You might get annoyed, but it's not illegal. I'm not quite sure what Gonzalez was complaining about.

Me neither. Even if it was illegal (which it isn't), he still came set. He just didn't hold it very long and barely had a leg kick. Agon and Valentine were just being pussies.

What do you expect from a bunch of whiners. Only took Gonzalez one full season to take on the Boston persona. This really couldnt be happening to a better team. I actually kinda feel bad for Bobby V...well not really :). But, it can't be a coincidence that Bobby V is having the same issues as Francona did. This team has such a feeling of entitlement, that it's becoming an embarassment. Didn't see the O's act as classless when Jonsey was safe by a great deal. I have a feeling tomorrow's game is going to be a rough night when it comes to balls and strikes. Diaz is a horrible umpire, atleast when he's doing O's games.

As an O's fan, I'll take an out any way I can get it. But as a pro ball player, I'd think that's bush league crap. I can see why he's uppset... it's trickeration and deception, not playing baseball.

Except every single pitcher does it. It's baseball, not the feelings hour.

This could escalate tomorrow. Gonzalez was barking at Strop as he went into the clubhouse. Then Strop put a little extra into his fist pump after striking out the last batter of the inning.

Maybe Gregg can "pitch inside too much".

Like Palmer said during the broadcast, should we also outlaw curveballs?

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
