Manny didn’t say anything about an old incident in the minors.   He just said the he and Aguilar talked on the field and that the two of them “go way back” to the minors. The comments are in the middle of this clip:  

 

I wasnt going by this, but a reporter who wrote about. I will try and find the source.

Aguilar, however, said the two talked it out after Machado singled in the 13th. Machado said they go back to their days in the minors.

“Everything that happens on the field stays on the field,” Machado said. “He’s a great guy.”

Yeah, I don’t interpret that as saying they had an incident in the minors, just that they’ve known each other since then.   

Ok, now I see your point.

I read it, like Aguilar was barking at Manny, because this wasn't their first encounter, so i guess I was just reading too much into it.

Well, Steve Pearce is in the World Series.  I don't see anyone coming out of the NL being able to beat Boston.

My only hope is that the NLCS goes 6-7 games and the winner rolls right into the Series primed and ready to go while Boston gets a little stale with the days off.  

As I said before, the silver lining for me is Pearce getting a ring if Boston wins.  Dude is a really, really solid ballplayer and I loved him while he was here.  Having a team full of Steve Pearces would be great.

I think the Dodgers win tonight.

I see the Red Sox vs Dodgers, being a tight series, 4-3 or 3-4, it will boil down to game 7.

How much more valuable a ball player is Steve Pearce compared to Chris Davis?

I think the Red Sox will blow their NL opponent away, just as they did with the Yankees and Astros, both of which are better than any of the NL teams.

Thirty years ago an AL jauggernault couldn't get past the Dodgers in the WS.  That's the beauty of baseball.

Boston will be favored, for sure, but I have my doubts about their pitching.

As much as I can't stand them, they are a VERY well-constructed team.   They've got a nice mix of homegrown and acquired talent.

The favored team, doesn't always win, thats for sure.

The Orioles have been on both sides of that, for sure.

    • I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything. 
    • I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.
    • The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
    • I think Bregman would be an awesome fit. I don’t know how you decide westburg/JH and who plays second, but Bregman would be that veteran RH hitter who has experience and enjoys the big moment. Maybe we try JH at CF officially. Maybe he’s super utility next year, but that would be a weird way to develop a #1 prospect. but I would love it if we got Bregman. 
    • The Musgrove deal was viewed as a team-friendly hometown discount extension at the time.
    • Richest owner and richest team are different things. If you go by most valuable teams the Yankees are very high up there. If you go by richest owner it's the Clippers owner.
    • It's actually the Cowboys but I don't think they need any pitching.
