Grandawful

11:38

Baez is charged an earned run for an IBB where he didn't throw any pitches and another pitcher giving up a homerun

Jay Jaffe

11:38

@hal: nothing makes a manager look worse than that.

Japes

11:38

Is Eovaldi good?

Jeff Sullivan

11:38

Definitely, for however long he's healthy

Philley11

11:38

Is there any way to prevent that kind of injured player manipulation?

Guy Smiley

11:38

Was Eovaldi the best trade deadline trade? Neck and neck with Machado?

Meg Rowley

11:39

They can't come back, right? (right?) Unlike with bereavement or paternity leave? That's supposed to provide a disincentive.

Jay Jaffe

11:39

Eovaldi was certainly up there on the pitching side. Luke Voit has to be in the discussion on the position player side.

an injured player who is replaced on the roster is out for that round and the next, which is a moot point in the World Series but prevents tomfoolery in the earlier rounds

Hal

11:40

I think there's a pretty good numbers-only argument that you'd rather have Baez/Devers than Wood/Nunez there, right?

Jeff Sullivan

11:40

I think there is!

jellybelly

11:40

does dave dombrowski really deserve a lot of credit for inheriting an insane amount of homegrown talent and then trading everyone else for superstars

Jeff Sullivan

11:40

The Sale trade is looking pretty special

11:41

That was a fast inning. Still 8-4 and the Dodgers have but three remaining outs

Meg Rowley

11:41

I am dog sitting for my moms and their dog is barking at every commercial with an animal in it, so this game could end soon.

Dystopian Future

11:42

Best deadline acquisition was definitely Luke Voit, for what the teams involved gave up.

Chuck H

11:42

At least he’s not barking at the MasterCard baby commercial.

Meg Rowley

11:42

Barked at that too!

Jay Jaffe

11:42

Voit's the one with the club control remaining. We'll see if he's a legit 1st division 1B

Blake the Rake

11:44

Blindly looking at the projections, Wood is slightly better than Baez and Devers is much better than Nunez. Why was that stupid?

Jeff Sullivan

11:44

As I look at things, it does appear that you'd rather have Wood vs. a righty than Baez vs. a lefty. What you make of their more recent appearances, well, that's up to you. Or Dave Roberts

Meg Rowley

11:44

It looks cold in Boston.

Jeff Sullivan

11:44

Is that a Yankees Suck chant? I can't tell

Meg Rowley

11:45

Regional rivalries are amazing

A little dumb, but amazing

Guy Smiley

11:45

Yes. Yes it is.

Mike

11:45

That's a Manny sucks chant

Jeff Sullivan

11:45

I don't know who to believe

Meg Rowley

11:45

Sounded like Yankees to me

EmeraldOne

11:46

Manny sucks would make more sense, but hey.

Meg Rowley

11:46

Fandom being so logical.

Sandy Leon!

Jeff Sullivan

11:46

Sandy Leon with the second hit of his game and career

Meg Rowley

11:46

I'm so happy for him.

Jay Jaffe

11:46

I guess the thing about Wood/Baez — and I'll allow that right now it's tough not to se this though the filter of what's just transpired — is that if you've been watching the last 2 rounds, it's certainly seemed as though Wood has been too predictable with his pitches and/or uncomfortable in the role

Anonymous

11:47

is this gun hot or does Nate have 101 in him?

Jeff Sullivan

11:47

He does do that. He's absurd

Hal

11:47

I know it's not at all a fair comparison but I watched a full NBA game (Nuggets-Kings) in between innings 2-7 of this game

11:48

If you’re Eovaldi’s reps, given his history, do you seek 4-5 years at a slightly lower AAV or 2-3 years at a higher AAV?

Jeff Sullivan

11:48

I think he's looking at a more expensive version of the Chatwood, maybe with a fourth-year vesting option based on innings or not finishing 2021 on the DL with an elbow injury
