If we can win the series in Boston, I like our chances for a division title

"It just has to be the Orioles and their douchebag manager doesn't it? The same asshat who ran his mouth about his little train that could beating the big payroll Red Sox back in 2011, they've had our number ever since.

Imagine scoring ten runs in a series, all by the long ball.

And two tomato cans in Bundy and Gascan looked like Koufax and Gibson out there this series, I'm sure they'll both **** the bed in their next starts.

And the stooge with the boys regular haircut who was hired to run this ****show looks like a genius with his off season and in season moves.

How a team with a staff like theirs is one game out of first is beyond my comprehension.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 4,346 home runs they've hit this year and their lights out closer."

--SOSH game thread post #665

Really? Buck Showalter is a douchebag? (I know you were quoting SOSH, not questioning you!)

I know I'm a fan of the team he manages and I know what it's like to hate the opponent, but it boggles my mind to hear someone call Buck a douchebag. I mean, you could call him some names if you're a hater, sure, why not, but douchebag is not a vibe that I get from him at all.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
