I think Bello just loaded the bases with no one out to make things interesting - give himself a little bit of a challenge.

Surprised this board isn’t more alive with bad boy Brayan Bello on the bump early start for west coasters. But I am riding in the first-class section of the Bello train. He alone gives me reason to watch next year.

Geez, this ballpark must be tiny - even JD Martinez is hitting homers.

He alone gives me reason to watch next year. I just relocated from Boston to Texas and boy I gotta tell ya having NFL games start at noon has been incredible. Not highly relevant but hey, small wins.

Having baseball games end before 9:00? The best.

Fanboy Projection System currently penciling Bello in for 5.5 WAR next year. Kid clearly has the stuff. I hope your FPS is 100% accurate. This Curmudgeon Projection System adherent would be happy with anything over 2.0 WAR. I think it is gonna take a while for him to realize his full potential...

Pretty amazing - they are in the 8th, are 0-11 RISP, 9 LOB.
It really is all about Bello - and little else at this point
We scored so many runs this year, but so few clutch or meaningful. Bizarre season.

Would you look at that, Matt Barnes has an ERA in the 4's.

Would you look at that, Matt Barnes has an ERA in the 4's. Barnes/Schreiber/Houck is a good start to next year's bullpen. They'll need a replacement for Strahm, who has a lower ERA than every reliever who is getting paid $10 million or more this year other than Edwin Diaz. (I didn't look it up to make sure that's true, but it probably is; expensive relievers are usually the most mediocre relievers.)

I'd add Kelly and Crawford as two guys I'm happy to pencil in for the opening day pen.

I don’t like it. He’s an elite reliever(until recently anyway). I can’t imagine he’s close to as effective as a starter. I understand the desire to have him pitch more innings, but I’m expecting a Joba Chamberlain/Dan Bard outcome from the transition.

This is what every LH relievers does.

Putting this season into perspective
between 2004 (end of the curse) and this year - 2022 (19 seasons)
championships in 2004, 2007, 2013, 2018 (21%)
sub-.500 seasons 2012, 2014, 2015, 2020, likely 2022 (26%)
more than 90 wins but no championship - 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2021 (37%)

Judge just hit number 60 and took the batting average lead in one go Judge is having the greatest contract year of all-time. It’s not like the Yankees lowballed him before the season, but he’s going to cost them a LOT more to keep this Winter.

Wong had a golden sombrero? I always kind of felt guys who hang around the minors till mid 20s very seldom escape the 4A label. I don't think he is good enough behind the dish to be a career backup. JMO.
