Billy Beane said it best in his book Moneyball…”in a short series, anything can happen.”

Eovaldi is such a stud, can’t believe we got him for Jalen Beeks

One inning into this series and I have irrationally decided it's going to be a Rangers sweep.

Maybe AZ will be more willing to trade Gallen in the offseason, considering these postseason performances. I’d think Hazen is more savvy than that, but maximizing future cheap assets is more important in AZ than it is in, say, Boston. The Sox should be in on that, if he’s available

"Gallen's been consistently among the best pitchers in the league for five years. We should consider whether we could get him on our team."
"Sure, but then after two decent playoff starts he had two kinda bad ones against the Phillies, I'm out."
Come on.

it would have been great if Verducci said to Pham, "Hey Tommy, how is your fantasy football team doing this year ?"  |

It always seems like such a fine line between Nate looking dominant and throwing a bunch of meatballs.

Joe Mantiply, the eraser as everybody likes to call him. WS legend
Does Bumgarner get another ring if Arizona wins? 4 starts of 10 ERA ball

"Gallen's been consistently among the best pitchers in the league for five years. We should consider whether we could get him on our team." "Sure, but then after two decent playoff starts he had two kinda bad ones against the Phillies, I'm out." Come on. There is no way Arizona is trading him but let’s say they do, The following values are according to baseball trade values Gallen 73 Burnes 30.3 Cease 50.5 Gallen and cease are roughly the same age and have the same team control left, Burnes is eligible for free agency after next. I rather save my prospect capital for a hitter and try to get Burnes for roughly half the prospect package gallen would cost and try to extend him. Again according to baseball trade values cease would cost 2/3 of what gallen would cost. So I rather have cease than gallen. Playoff performance does factor in when you’re talking about what it would take to acquire Gallen and his playoff track record (I know small sample size) isn’t the best. Take the Becket trade if he has a horrible 2007 playoffs and Red Sox lose to the Indians in the Alcs; how many people would kill that trade? Since becket was one of if not the biggest reason Sox won in 07 that trade is widely considered a very good trade. |

I was typing something about how it's W for Texas getting one of Tavares and Semien on base. But Seagerdidn't give me time to finish it.

Just curious. I know Friesman is,the best and probably somebody you dont question, but maybe he should have found a way to hang onto Seager?

Seager is such a stud. He’s already been a WS MVP. If he can carry Texas to a Title, the rest of his contract will be gravy(especially playing in the shadow of that awful degrom contract). It would also be time to talk about Seager as a future HOF. |
