: Don’t be sad the 2017 season is over, friends …
|
| 12:02 |
: Be glad it happened
|
| 12:03 |
: Now, on to 2018 …
|
| 12:03 |
: So what’s your off-season sports drug of choice?
|
| 12:03 |
: It’s such a dark period in my life
|
| 12:03 |
: My favorite non-MLB event is the NCAA men’s basketball tournament if you consider spring training to be offseason
|

: Hello friends
|
| 9:07 |
: Welcome to Friday baseball chat
|
| 9:07 |
: Our first Friday baseball chat of the offseason
|
| 9:08 |
: I am fully prepared to take your offseason questions while being unprepared to answer them
|
| 9:08 |
: Did the Red Sox hire Tony La Russa as some kind of cruel joke?
|
| 9:08 |
: The current Red Sox front office sure looks different from the Red Sox front office of just a few years ago
|
| 3:19 |
: Dedicated to Yu? No, dedicated to Rob Manfred and his juiced balls? Wait. You dedicate this.
|
| 12:03 |
: I’m here I’m here I’m here
|
| 12:04 |
: I got 4 hit (batsmen) and a RBI. Which is more surprising?
|
| 12:04 |
: The RBI. AL pitcher!
|
| 12:04 |
: Should bellinger get blames just as much for the dodger losing last night as yu darvish?
|
| 12:05 |
: It wasn’t a good postseason for Bellinger, and he had some flaws exposed. I saw some say he’ll fall off quickly and isn’t that good. I believe he has some contact improvement in him and this was part of that first rookie adjustment myself.

: Happy Game 7 Day everyone!
|
| 12:02 |
: Should be a fun night.
|
| 12:02 |
: I’m on live blog duty tonight, so come back and join me as we watch two great teams fight it out for the title tonight.
|
| 12:03 |
: We’ll start this chat in a few minutes.
|
| 12:05 |
: When am I pitching tonight?
|
| 12:07 |
: Let’s say McCullers goes 4-5. Keuchel is probably first guy out of the pen, and he’s probably good for 2. That leaves 2-3 innings for some combo of Morton, Peacock, and Verlander, my guess. Peacock is probably the “closer”, so maybe Morton gets the 7th?

: this is gonna be a real corker eh |
| 12:18 |

|
| 12:19 |
: Nope
|
| 12:19 |
: Do you know much about Ronaldo Hernandez?
|
| 12:20 |
: Strong 19-year old Colombian catcher in Tampa’s system. Has power, catching is a work-in-progress but that’s fine because he’s a converted infielder. He made Rays list last offseason.

|
| 7:36 |
: I’ll be back in a few minutes, but feel free to get the queue going.
|
| 7:56 |
: What’s the O/U for innings for Darvish and McCullers? 4.2 for both?
|
| 7:57 |
: I think that’s right, but we will see if either manager is a bit more conservative knowing there are three games in three days here in Houston.

|

: Longoria gets 10-5 rights next season. Does he get traded before then?
|
| 9:07 |
: I don’t know why he would. This being Tampa Bay, obviously there’s always the chance, but Longoria feels like a forever Ray
|
| 9:08 |
: What does Hensley Meulens need to do to get hired as a manager in one of the three current vacancies? I’d love him with the Nationals (though current front-runner Dave Martinez *feels* like a good fit as well).
|
| 9:08 |
: This comment expresses a stronger feeling about a possible managerial candidate than I could personally ever imagine possessing
