Is it realistic to hope for an A's-M'S wild card game?
Jeff Sullivan
11:09
Not really, but that shouldn't stop you. Hope for whatever you want!

The biggest threat to the Red Sox in the AL is....

how in the hell are the cubs winning with such an awful rotation?
Jeff Sullivan

Really good lineup and really good defense
Excluding pitchers, they have a 111 wRC+. And their defense is good almost everywhere

I still don't understand why the Dodgers couldn't pick up guys like Oh at the deadline - he came pretty cheap, he is not owed much so it won't affect their luxury tax implications, and they knew they badly needed some bullpen help.

Loved the Dozier deal, loved the Machado deal. But it feels like they seriously were arrogant w/r/t the bullpen and the last week or so proves it.

The Dodgers would respond to you that one week of bullpen performance doesn't prove anything
11:12
Over the last two weeks, the Dodgers bullpen ranks fourth worst in baseball by WPA. That's terrible! The Brewers bullpen ranks third worst. The Brewers bullpen is supposedly stacked
11:13
This happens. The timing almost couldn't be worse. But I think the Dodgers are right when they say they have enough reliever options
Not Dusty

How bad is Dave Martinez
Jeff Sullivan
11:13
No idea
Doesn't seem great?
The first team Terry Francona managed went 68-94
11:14
All right, I need to get rolling
So thank you everybody for hanging out, and I'm sorry for what I didn't or couldn't address. We'll do it again next week at the same time, and until then, be well and have great days
