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.

    • At this stage, I don't care how we get in - just get in. As been said on here a zillion times, the playoffs are a crap shoot. As bad as it seems right now - WHY NOT?
    • Oh, I forgot Mountcastle.  He had a 2.2 bWAR season going (1.4 oWAR). And he's effectively been replaced with O'Hearn who is a 1.3 bWAR player (which has been dropping) of which he has a -1.4 dWAR and a 1.8 oWAR. So there's a net negative there, too, going from O'Hearn part time to him FT and losing Mounty's bat. Injuries are a part of any given team, but I don't think it's unfair to say this team would be at 88-89 wins with even half of those guys back. 
    • While agree that taking this year's Santander out of the offense would hurt. This is the only year that he has performed at this level. He's OPS is 37 points higher this year, than his avg. His OBP stinks and he goes cold for fairly long periods. He's had a couple of heaters that have padded his OPS. His career OPS+ is 114 and that is buoyed by this years 132. I am not saying he sucks or is even at a replacement level player. But he is a pretty flawed player who is not likely to repeat this year which has been pretty flawed as well. I like Santander and I think he provides valuable leadership. I just don't see him having the value that it will take to keep him. I also don't think he is the type of player that ages well. 
    • You really should have to finish in first place to make the playoffs. If the divisions were large from back in the day then I could understand having 2nd place teams make it. It was such an accomplishment back then. We can all agree 3rd place teams making it is a joke. 
    • Agree 100%. I had a different thread chatting about The New Guys.  If we look at just the guys that are getting playing time because of injuries/trades/opportunities that are still playing on this team: Austin Slater: 0.4 (0.2 oWAR, 0.1 dWAR) Livan Soto: 0.3 (0.2, 0.1) Emmanuel Rivera: 0.1 (0.4, -0.3) Eloy Jimenez: -0.2 (-0.2, -0.2) Jackson Holliday: -0.3 (-0.1, 0) Coby Mayo: -0.7 (-0.5, -0.2) If we just go off of their oWAR, that's a combined 0.  Zero. Ramon Urias had a 1.6 oWAR this year. Jordan Westburg a 3.4 oWAR. Even Jorge Mateo had a 0.8 oWAR. Those 3 guys would be getting regular to semi-regular playing time. Eloy/Holliday/Mayo wouldn't play and their near -1.0 oWAR would be replaced with guys that had a combined 6 oWAR anywhere from months (Westy, Mateo) to weeks ago (Ramon).
    • You would think it would be closer to 74 with the way they are playing 
    • Elias said it the other day
