The Dodgers were the better team, Mach you clearly read headlines for point #1. Cash managed to metrics all year to get them to that point, he did similar things dozens of times this year...I do not blame him at all for sticking to his plan. Too easy to second guess Snell had not finished 6 innings all year, he was about to go through the order for the 3rd time and the lead off guy got a hit. If you want to pick on anything, pick on his choice of reliever in that spot....the choice to pull Snell and be easily defended. And thanks the beer, anything Maine brewed IPA/PA works for me. Just not Sebago/Shipyard please. I'll give you Cash chose the wrong matchup pitcher for Betts, should have stayed lefty given Betts hitting this year. Shocking actually he went to a righty, metric centric and all...

Second guessing is fun for hacks like us...
Being debated is Justin Turner testing positive in the 8th inning, MLB pulling him from the field and putting him in isolation only to have him run out on the field w this team for celebration. Half the folks calling for him to be suspended, the other half saying big deal...he was with his team in the bubble for a week. If he had it, the others have surely been exposed prior. Tampa was not on the field at the time. You might make the case that other people were, but I do not see him getting suspended. It was a bit irresponsible but not worthy of suspension.

Yup, just a bad look MLB will have to swallow and move on from. If you suspend him, MLB would need to punish themselves as well for not having a better system in place to keep him from joining his club after a positive. My guess is it next season starts up (either regular season or just spring training), any ayer getting a positive test will get pulled and isolated off site. That is about all that will come from this.

I am SHOCKED we have not heard from MB on this subject yet. Many reports coming out (no official word yet) that the Red Sox new manager is..........................Alex Cora, fresh off his suspension for the Astros drum beat.
This after the Tigers hired AJ Hinch fresh off his suspension for the Astros drum beat.
Thoughts on all this MB? Will Beltran get back in too? He wasn't even suspended by MLB.

Manager doesn’t matter if they don’t get some better players. Particularly pitchers.

The Red Sox are the biggest joke in MLB....they had a chance to do the right thing and hire Sam Fuld...instead they sold their souls for a cheater. Hinch and Cora should be banned for life. Think about it, Pete Rose is banned and all he did was bet on his team to win.

Seriously, are "real" Red Sox fans happy about this? Zenny?

Some are. I’m not particularly thrilled with it.

Well, good for LeMahieu for lighting a 🔥 on Yankees mgmt and getting a nice contract. A bit sad, would have been nice for once for Sox to pull a quality player away. Pipedreaming, I know.

You sure Yanks didn't pay more in the end? And yes, relative to two years ago this is a bargain contract to get him. Post Covid season and another going in with limited to no fans in stands? Kind of pricey. Will have to see how the balance of the free agent market plays this year to know for sure what deals are looking like.

And yanks signed Corey Kluber. Let’s see if he has anything left.
