    Since 2010, Posey's rookie year, only Mike Trout has a higher WAR total than Posey. And, yeah, he cited the cumulative physical toll as a reason for retiring, even with the top statistical season he had in 2021

    It seems like maybe a good time to bet on the improvement of El Mago in late 2021 being a more or less permanent sign of things to come (a la Muffy circa 2016) The question is how long do you wish to bet on that bet?

    https://twitter.com/dorapeinet/status/1456130304054214656 When David Ruffin comes out of the grave to declare Shinjo's suit to be a bit over the top for him, you have to question the choice. Joe Torre, meanwhile, enjoys having his fashion choices from the '70s suddenly looking sedate by comparison.

    Not a whole lotta sticking up for McSquirrel in that SNY clip, eh?

    Wait a minute ... this was over prior to midnight. Is that even allowed these days?!?

    For a more anticlimactic WS clincher we probably need to go back to 1987 when the Royals put up 2 in the 2nd inning, 3 more in the 3rd, and then hung a 6-spot in the 5th en route to an 11-Zip Game 7 thrashing of the Cardinals.

    They wound up surviving it, but how do the Braves not challenge that 1st inning play at 1st?

    It sounds like that's a very (artificially) loud stadium down there. I mean, all these stadia are artificially loud these days but this one even more than usual it seems, a good chunk of which is likely MLB directed. The organist there still gets his/her chops in (like playing 'I'm a Little Teapot' for Jose Altuve the other day) but it's being squeezed-out/drowned-out by the piped-in stuff.

    The end of the 4th inning slides in just under the two hour mark.

    Greinke, pinch-hitting, gets the last hit by a pitcher in the history of baseball. OK, maybe not the absolute last one ever but purdy damn close.

    =G-Fafif post_id=80435 time=1635730493 user_id=55] ... The teams are 10 runs apiece from replicating the Philly-Toronto 15-14 headspinner of yore.

    In this final DH-less game in history, the Framber Valdez* AB in the top of the 2nd [HOU down 4-2, 2-out, runner on 3rd] makes a better case AGAINST the DH than it does for it! Far too many people can't or won't understand that. *some of you may remember his brother Exxon

    Played seven of his ten MLB seasons with the Red Sox then was with NESN virtually ever since. It helps becoming a Sox/NESN icon when you're from Falls River, Mass and sound every bit of it.

    I tend to root for whichever side is down... so tonight that means Houston. But the anti-home team angle is fun too, I've done that before.

    Those ads featuring 'the Moon' might be the biggest swing and a miss this whole post-season.
  19. Frayed Knot
    1-0 game thru 5 with a total of five hits (none by Houston). So, seeing as how this is baseball in 2021: a) the game is already past the two hour mark both starters are gone

    I've always liked TV Smoltz.

    I think it kills as much buzz as it intends to generate since the fans of those players who eventually finish 4th, 5th & 6th are being told well in advance that their guy has no shot at winning or even coming all that close.
  22. Frayed Knot
    I'm the (so far only) vote for 15 innings. That's an approximation, I'd like to watch it all but MLB keeps making it hard to do so.

    =duan post_id=80352 time=1635511772 user_id=99] It starts at 1am for me …

    That's a Wow! Melvin had been the longest tenured manager with one club; with the A's since being hired mid-season in 2011 and 18 ML seasons all together (SEA & ARZ also). He's also 60 y/o old today. Terry Francona in Cleveland now has the longest-running title. You wonder if Beane (and/or Oakland ownership) just decided that Melvin had maxed out on what they wanted to pay a field manager? Rizzo in DC is big on holding the line on mgr pay too and (IIRC) Melvin was headed to the Nats (2010?) but then bailed because the team wouldn't paying what he was asking.

    Nimmo definitely seemed to take a step forward this season defensively. I think he's still ideally an LF, but he's no longer a liability in CF these days IMO. And while we're on the subject, of all the proposed IF to CF switches posed over the years [Juan Samuel, HoJo, Rosario, Reyes, etc] Baez maybe seems to have the skill set most likely to succeed. Not that you'd want to take him out of the IF, but if the situation arises ... Hell, big ol' 6' 5" Kris Bryant plays more OF than 3B these days -- including in CF -- and that felt like a much less logical transition.
