  1. If Maddon called for that, good lord. He's been bad enough in all the other aspects of managing in these past two games, but that was embarassing.
  2. Watching Maddon manage the last two nights, maybe I've been too hard on Gibby. He's been that bad.
  3. Joe Maddon done f***ed up.
  4. Chapman pitching last night might come back to bite them here.
  5. Lester can't hold runners on. If the Indians get some base runners, it's going to get tense. Maddon is going to get a lot of s*** if the Cubs lose this one.
  6. Wow, Maddon derping his way through the last two games. No reason to take Hendricks out, and then Ross/Lester put the Indians right back in the game.
  7. Seriously. Two of the most storied franchises with incredibly long championship droughts and Epstein ends one and is 5 innings away from ending another. Definitely a HOF executive.
  8. Yeah I was hoping we would see Chapman and Miller pitching 2-3 innings each tomorrow night, but that won't be happening with Chapman most likely. Well, they could try, but he may not be as effective. Game 7 has lined up pretty well for Francona. Maddon better hope Lester has a Mad Bum game 7 in him tomorrow night.
  9. Even Gibbons would have taken Chapman out in this situation. Maddon's out of his mind.
  10. Nope. It would make the game a lot better, but considering MLB hasn't done s*** to fix crooked umpiring already (look at the home plate ump tonight in the freakin World Series) I doubt they even think it's an issue.
  11. There are a bunch of 1B/DH/LF types in free agency. Giving the QO to Saunders would be stupid.
  12. A Moss/Upton platoon in LF seems solid enough. Cheaper than Reddick, at least.
  13. Yeah Puig makes sense. He's young and has a couple of cheap years of control left.
  14. Carerra made the team in 2016 because he had no options. I don't see the point in carrying both him and Upton. If both are on the opening day roster next year then one of them is probably starting, and that wouldn't be good to put it mildly.
  15. Bautista on a 1 or 2 year deal would be fine with me. Just stick him at DH. Anything beyond that would be less appealing.
  16. I had the Indians winning this series before it started, and nothing has changed my mind. They are playing about as flawless baseball as you will find.
  17. If AA was the GM, I could see this (Votto) happening. I can't see Shapiro/Atkins doing it. Contract is too long and Votto is only going to get worse, not better. Inciarte is a good target, but he'll cost a lot, probably more than the Jays are comfortable trading.
  18. Yep that's how I'd do it as well. They shouldn't have to rebuild unless things really hit the shits next season. Just keep improving the big league club without hurting the farm system, and if the drafting/developing goes well, then they'll be able to start incorporating young talent into the lineup eventually. Easier said than done but it's doable with some shrewed moves and luck.
  19. Damn is the farm really as good as Baseball America seems to think (or at least John Manuel)? It would be great if it is since this regime will actually hold onto them rather than trade them but top 10 seems pretty aggressive/bullish.
  20. This page has reminded me how awful the Smoak extension was.
  21. If Pompey has options remaining (and I think he should have one left), then he will probably in AAA next season if he isn't traded. If they projected his defence to make up for his bat then I'm assuming they would have played him more, but even that isn't a lock. He could end up being a good player eventually but I don't see any possible way they can pencil him in to a corner spot before the season. He regressed in 2016.
  22. If Bautista comes back for one year I suspect it will be after he rejects the QO, tests the market, and sees no offers worth taking. I doubt his ego will allow him to accept the QO, and maybe he will get a 3-4 year offer somewhere else. Looking at the alternatives, JB back for one year would be a pretty solid development if it happens.
  23. I hope you guys are right about Bruce, but just saying I could see a scenario where he's a trade target. One year of control and shouldn't cost much to acquire. Man I want the off season to start already. Let's hear about the damn moves.
