Glasnow in...

Scherzer I think is 41... Oldest WS starter... At 45 years 342 days, Jamie Moyer (USA, b. 18 November 1962) of the Philadelphia Phillies (USA) became the oldest pitcher to make his World Series debut when he started Game 3 of the 2008 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays (USA) on 25 October 2008. Kenny Rogers (Detroit/2006) and Curtis Schilling the others at 41/40 to win WS games.

Bassitt has been pretty great this postseason out of the pen.

Ohtani (can probably go 2-4 innings)/Glasnow vs. Scherzer (normal rest)/Bieber (3 day's rest). Smoltz astutely noted Ohtani likely to start since he could still be pulled and keep hitting...

Clearly in the zone but caught low...rookies just don't get that call against superstars on the road.

Wow, nobody has ever done that before. It might have something to do with having frequently than anyone else and posting from a phone...but I'm happy you have something else that draws your ire. Maybe we can have a standings board for mistakes made out of total posts made.

That's most assuredly not a hit lol.

Based on that half inning...the Dodgers are cooked, unless they can get into the Toronto pen.

Or run your team like TB Cleve Milwaukee...at least figure out a way to be competitive with a lower payroll.

Are the Sox still viable as a franchise with three more sub .500 records and still stuck in GRF? I guess they could still sink to 28th-30th in attendance...although Minnesota might pass them on their descent downwards.

Which is more relevant? His identity as an ex Sox or as a Brave? Because clearly there are a lot of Atlanta fans here recently. Nobody on this site would care one iota about Brebbia if more Sox payroll wasn't wasted on him.

We do have an AL Central thread, btw. Shouldn't this be in ex Sox ???

Sugano fared decently. He was the one most expected to end up with an ERA in the high 5's due to his age and lack of dominating stuff. Imanaga has outperforned almost all his early projections...especially the first 4 months or so of 2025.

Unless one considers Dunn Robertson Kimbrel and Grandal to be top of the line...Dunn was pretty darned close in 2011.

Luis Robert Jr. vs. Cardinals

If history is any indication, the odds are very much in Toronto's favor. In a best-of-seven series tied 2-2, the winner of Game 5 has won the series 46 of 68 times (67.6%), according to MLB's Sarah Langs. In series which have a 2-3-2 format (like this one), teams who take a 3-2 lead by winning Game 5 on the road before returning home for Game 6 and 7 have gone on to to win the series 20 of 27 times (74.1%). www.si.com

Karine Jean-Pierre articulated slightly better arguments recently...

One thing that's clear after watching the Brewers get wiped out again. You can still be in that $100-150 million payroll range like Detroit, Milwaukee and Cleveland and actually make the postseason...but that's where hopes and dreams eventually go to die. Meanwhile, the Mets, Dodgers, Yankees and Phillies have a lot of soul searching to do this offseason. Those pesky "underdog" Blue Jays are nearly $45 million below the 4th place Phils in spending at $239 million, although they did add Bieber and Scherzer at the deadline. Cubs Padres Red Sox all between $194-209 million. Seems to be close to a sweet spot.

Are the only tickets still remaining SRO? That's lot of excitement over a .679 hitter repeating Kannapolis with almost 150 k's. At least DePino's 42 contact number at the Baseball Cube is a major improvement over Wolkow's 8. Fwiw, single digit numbers here are the equivalent of white rhinos. For comparison, Colson Montgomery's a more robust 61, and Tim Elko at 22. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/209891/ Sam Abbott was a 4. And a better water polo player, unfortunately. Lowest I could find.

Nationals hire Blake Butera, at 33 youngest MLB manager since 1972 https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/nationals-reportedly-hiring-33-year-old-blake-butera-as-new-manager-142054191.html

Or Seattle, for that matter. Twenty plus years of largely disappointing results...the main difference ibeing their stadium and control of nearly the entire Seattle/Vancouver/Portland region.
