You know, when I say that I would like to bring Duvall back, it's not that I'm *excited* about it; it's just that there aren't any better options. I think you had made the point yesterday that filling out the pitching staff is a much more straightforward task this winter (I.e. just get a frontline starter or two) than the Jenga puzzle that is next year’s lineup. Aside from Devers and Casas, you could talk me out of to some degree nearly everyone slated to come back + Turner/Duvall.

No need to sign Snell (but actually not interested in high BB pitchers with this defense)

Why pull Crawford at 76 pitches and 1 hit allowed? Cora totally over-managing for no reason. Cora not to be denied the chance to grind down Winckowski to the very last day.

what a cluster this team is. Will be sad tomorrow, but kind of happy as well.

I keep reading here how unimpressed some are with the Orioles. Not me - I am mighty impressed. They know how to win - and they don't give away games.

Pablo Reyes probably played himself off next year's team the last 6 weeks

That seemed about right. Jam double followed by boot. Red Sox baseball! Now, they just have to not score to have this basically be a time capsule for the season.

If Story gets a hit here, he’s single-handedly ruining our draft

Story’s hit was the same ball Reyes booted and cost a run

in terms of Outs Above Average by a defense for their pitcher:
Wincowski -10 OAA (worst defensive support) Whitlock -10 OAA also Bello -8 OAA
Is it too late to try to re-replace Pedroia’s knee cartilage

Story can play SS. No doubt. I hope he can hit a bit next year. But I love the defense.

Story is a beast defensively, hopefully we can get a 95 wRC+ out of him next year

Story’s hit was the same ball Reyes booted and cost a run The difference is Westburg was all about preventing the 2nd run from scoring. Reyes on the other hand bobbled the ball because he was focused on getting an out. Westburg played winning baseball, Reyes did not. As I am thinking about this, I am thinking about how Nicke Yorke would have played that. Pretty sure he does what Westburg did.
