Anytime you take a record from Roger Clemens you gotta feel good about yourself.

 

It is truly nice to have an elite strikeout Starting Pitcher. It would be nice if we could get a few elite K rate guys in the Bullpen.

 

Well... Depends on what their bullpen philosophy is. Cobble one together on the cheap, which is what many believe? That worked terribly this season. Was this season an aberation and they try to piece one together with low risk players/contacts again? Or do they land a couple of significant arms with track records?

Maybe the jacket can be used for just great accomplishments going forward.

Oh you can’t do that….that’s a HR jacket, pitchers should have their own.

 

The juju on that jacket is now gone.

 

I was thinking that too. The meaning is now lost.

I think they can do both. The Bullpen really f***ed us this year. They went hard after Liam Hendriks so they were prepared to spend bullpen money. If you can target one or 2 guys that can really make a difference you go after them. They can always find cheap options to complement the team. Not so much this year but the past this Front Office has got some dirt cheap gems. But when the difference in making the Playoffs this season came down to the Bullpen. You really wish you spent some money.

Kirk's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The kid stings it! So crazy watching a guy with his body type at this level and he's always got such an understated upbeat decorum to him.

 

He's definitely gotta be the starting catcher going forward.

Ya... But I've heard from Both Atkins and Shapiro multiple times this season about not blowing your wad too quickly. They want to add players, add salary at a Conservative rate, as they grow. So basically, "payroll parameters". Remember that term?

You really think they'll lose after coming back from a 6 run deficit?

 

The Sox are losing 6-5 after 6.

 

Would you have felt better if Cleveland came back to take the lead? What if you were asked before the games started today that the Jays would be up 8-0 in the eighth and Boston would be losing 6-5 in the seventh. Would you be happy?

To be the best, you've gotta beat the best. That said, I wouldn't be at all opposed to being in the Central.

 

While I agree with this, the playoffs are far more volatile and constantly having to fight over two or even three teams, including two often juggernauts, just to sniff them is getting mightily old (well, it did 15 years ago).

 

The NL West sucks ass too.
