  1. Dipoto. The gift that keeps on taking. Talk about a snake eyes draft (Keynan might stick, as well as Nate Smith).
  2. I firmly believe Eppler is a master of communication skills. Everything about him is likeable. The fact these players are signing so quickly is a great sign.
  3. I wonder how he will feel being used in low leverage situations, like when trailing 7 runs in the 8th.
  4. Traditionally, the best reliever in a team's bullpen gets designated the closer. In recent years, though, there's been an argument that using your best reliever in high-leverage situations is more valuable than saving your closer for a save opportunity that may never materialize. Huston Street is not a fan of that thinking according to David Alder of MLB.com. "I'll retire if that ever happens," Street said. "If they ever tell me, 'Oh, we're gonna start using you in these high-leverage situations.' … All right, good. You now can go find someone else to do that, because I'm going home."
  5. Scioscia manages much worse than this in the playoffs. He is a dumpster fire when the game is on the line.
  6. Scioscia just said the game was lost before the 9th. What a delusional skipper.
  7. Valbuena catches a little league pop out.
  8. Posters defend Scioscia and he has his worst managed game of the year.
  9. Starting Marte and leaving Alvarez in.
  10. And Mike strikes again. Closers close games.
  11. My father called Scioscia Soso (he was not a fan either).
  12. CJ Cron hits a grand slam and is sent to AAA. Watch Marte start tomorrow after hitting into a triple play.
  13. From the left side of the plate? On a 2-0 count? After Aybar won game three on a single?
  14. A lead off double by Morales in the 2008 ALDS. 3 outs to play with. Sacrifice him over. You then ask Aybar to pull off what he has never done before. Aybar and Willits failed to execute. You can also argue that Mike gift wrapped the Red Sox a series win.
  15. And you fail to read through posts properly.
  16. So defense mattered more than power, when the team could not get any offense going? Let's agree to disagree.
  17. I remember him resting the team after clinching, and them being ice cold facing the Royals.
  18. Give him another 10 years! Lord knows the Yankees, Red Sox, and Giants would with his playoff percentages since 09. I guess those organizations smell blood in the water, rather than championship farts from seasons past.
