    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Oh no doubt it was a brain dead selection and the one genuine fuckup of the Luhnow era.

Teoscar Hernandez for 14 innings of Francisco Liriano is not aging very well either…

Do you even Blomez/Fiers for Hader, et al bro?

 

We’ll never know if this was actually directed at Luhnow

Ha yeah drafting.

You can add releasing JD Martinez to the list lol

 

I can't fault them for Martinez.  How many shots can you give a guy to prove he can hit major league pitching?  At some point after that, he either changed his approach or started listening to advice.

This is some next-level fan BS questioning a move that happened in a WS championship season.  Sure, you did better than everyone else that year, bUT yOU cOULd hAVe DoNE bETtEr!

God gave us Jose Siri to make up for JD!

Why couldnt/isn't todays game be a day game?

Now, now, you wouldn't want to inconvenience Rangers season ticket holders

Pinche pendejo MFY just died in Baltiless.  Poor Helo

Another beatdown....[emoji106]

Man outside of the 3 game dumpster conflagration in May in Arlington and the 2 game dumpster conflagration of Greinke starts in Arlington this was pretty strong domination of the clowns.

That’s a lot of other thans, but I get your point. It’s nice and if it lasted for 100 years I’d still fee like they had it for that awful luck box 2016 team that won the division with shit players, voodoo and a negative run differential. 

How to make the playoffs.

10-5 against LAA

9-4 against OAK

11-8 against SEA

13-5 against TEX

LOL it is remarkable that a team won 95 games with only a +8 run differential but it wasn't negative.  I think Joey Bats got them back though...

Shit the bat flip was 2015 not 2016....

Must have finished strong. It was negative (and somewhat very negative) all the way into September. Worst team to ever win 95?  I say yes.

Sborz looks to have the herp

He gone  

Correa being asked how cool it is to be one home run away from his career-high.

Daniella digs the…wOBA?!

It’s not surprising that Carlos has a fully healthy season in his free agent walk year. Let’s get another World Series trophy and see if that puts enough pressure on Crane to pay that man his money.

I will never understand how Machete walks so much with his ~.170 average

Good eye/ bad swinger?

So just throw it down the middle.  I don't get it either.  He's the only easy out in a stacked lineup.  He runs into one every once in awhile but I'd rather take my chances than put him on for the top of our order 10 times out of 10.

You would be hard pressed to find a 95 win team that underperformed more in the postseason especially as the #1 seed.

They got manhandled in the first game 10-1 at home.  They never led in game 2 at home and were behind in 8 of the 9 innings. 

Game 3 in Toronto they led by 1 run for half an inning twice (1-0 after top 1, & 6-5 after top 6th) and the game went into extra innings.

The Dodgers and Nationals were perceived as post season chokers but even they put up more of a fight in the LDS see 2014 LDS by #1 seed Dodgers won a game and lost 3 games by 2 runs or less.

They got through the LDS, but 2001 Mariners have to be there

win 116 of 162.

down 2-1 in the LDS (after losing game 3 17-2) and cole back to get the series 3-2

But then lose the LCS 4 games to 1 

I think the odds of re-signing Correa are very low.  I hate it, but I think it's probably better for the team med and long term.  

I'd like to pick up Robbie Ray and Kris Bryant in the offseason to fill the holes we're going to have.  Bryant can play third and move Bregman to short.  Or play him in the OF or at 1st and let Diaz be your primary shortstop if you keep Bregman at 3B.

 

Your lineup would be (not in batting order):

Gurriel/Bryant 1B

Altuve 2B

Bregman/Diaz SS

Bryant/Bregman 3B

Brantley LF

Meyers/Siri CF 

Tucker RF

Castro/Stubbs C

Alvarez DH

 

SPs would be:

Ray

LMJ

Framber

Urquidy

Odorizzi

Luis Garcia

Cristian Javier

That's a solid 5-man rotation with 2 other SPs pitching out of the pen until needed to start.

 

Who knows about promotions from the minors.  Korey Lee at C, especially if we don't re-sign Maldy, Pedro Leon?, Pena?, Whitley? Solomon?

Maybe yes? Maybe no?  Maybe go fuck myself?
