when was the last year Bartolo wasn't the biggest free agent?

Dan Szymborski

8:07

A Sabathia year?

Super Benintendo

8:07

I think Cora has seemingly been a little slow to pull Portello at times this season ... might he be the best bet for the Sox's Six as Sale did not make it yesterday?

Assistant to Mr. Betts

8:07

Who is the biggest pending free agent that the two teams should keep?

Dan Szymborski

8:07

I think it'll depend somehwat on the state of the bullpen.

Craig Edwards

8:08

I'll say Kershaw and Eovaldi.

8:08

Why do people think Jackie Bradley jr is a bad hitter? He was basically average among AL CF and among all CF.

Super Benintendo

8:08

Wow. Porcello. My bad.

Dan Szymborski

8:08

You going to jail. Spelling jail.

Nobody gets out of spelling jail. Still have Cal Ripkin and Mark McGuire fans in there.

Super Benintendo

8:08

So ... jale?

Curt Schilling

8:09

I was totally asked to throw the first pitch but couldn't. I am very busy, you know.

Craig Edwards

8:09

I'm actually going to write about this sometime soon, but when Bradley has slumped, he's been really bad and it drags down his numbers. His career numbers and the past two seasons with the bat just aren't that good. He's a good player with defense and baserunning and just against righties, he's a 4-win player pretty easily.

Biz Marquis

8:09

Can Kerry Woods be a warden in spelling jail?

John

8:10

Does JDM actually have an influence on BOS batters like every gushes about? Seems a bit much...

Dan Szymborski

8:10

He's well-liked, but like most things, it gets over-exaggerated by broadcasters.

8:11

The starting lineup video package really needs to have Puig bat-flipping.

Super Benintendo

8:11

Mookie likes 'im.

CamdenWarehouse

8:11

Smoltz wouldn't be able to talk after watching Puig flip a bat

Hank

8:12

What inning do we get the Mookie bowling reference?

Dan Szymborski

8:12

2nd

Craig Edwards

8:12

If I were an announcer I think I'd mention it every time he came to the plate. Speaking of strikes...

Blake the Rake

8:13

Bradley has excellent contact quality, good speed, and fairly normal GB/pull tendencies according to statcast, but was horribly victimized by BABiP this season. .340 xwOBA on the season.

Planet Dust

8:13

You guys remember when there was that video of Puig after he got caught speeding and he was berating himself 1) in the third-person and 2) using his last name, e.g. "You're such an IDIOT PUIG!!" ?

Craig Edwards

8:13

yep. he got unlucky.

Dan Szymborski

8:13

I don't remember! And this seems like the thing I would remember.

Bradley had that long stretch of not hitting at the start of his career that people remember, plus the fact that he hasn't replicated 2015/2016.

Super Benintendo

8:14

Not that he strikes out often .. but there is a good turkey joke in there somewhere....

Dan Szymborski

8:14

So to a lot, he feels like a guy he can't hit since he's been disappointing compared to expectations at most points.

CamdenWarehouse

8:14

Turner's back foot is out of the box on the plate side and I guess the ump doesn't care?

Craig Edwards

8:14

Mookie Betts is going to become a father close to Thanksgiving. Speaking of turkeys...

Dan Szymborski

8:14

Umpires have a lot of responsibility and you can't expect them to be "umpiring" at all times of the night!

Mike

8:14

Joe buck continues to believe that the team with the highest walk rate, lowest swing rate and highest pitches per pa in MLB are an aggressive bunch of hackers because they hit 235 home runs

Joe

8:15

I once got kicked off of Jim Bowden’s MLB network radio show when I said “no wonder so many teams fired you” after he said Puig was better than Ken Griffey Jr.

Dan Szymborski

8:15

Well, that *was* a bit mean.

Hyperbolisyllabicsesquidalimysti

8:15

Strike zone already noticeably larger tonight

tommy

8:15

who has the best beard in the world series?

Craig Edwards

8:15

Outside corner could be big here.

Dan Szymborski

8:15

Weird thing is that it is more a beard series than a mustache series.

Tyler

8:16

if price gets that call all night he will do great.

Connecting…
