5fouls Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Fox would love a Dodgers vs Astros series with the big markets plus the subplot. Obviously I'm rooting against the Astros but it us nice to see Dusty managing in the postseason. He is my 2nd favorite Reds manager behind Sparky.

He tried to come back, but the stroke had taken too many things away. He kicked around in the minors, but he was eventually released. Unfortunately his life just kept going downhill with divorces and business failures. He wound up destitute. He became involved with a Church and became a minister.

rico Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Per MLBTR.... MLBTR’s Anthony Franco recently published a refresher on how the qualifying offer system works, including the key details about draft pick compensation and how the QO is a one-time application. For the latter, this is why major free agents like Marcell Ozuna and Nelson Cruz aren’t included in this list, as both players have been tagged with the QO in past trips through the free agent market. This post will focus on the position players who could be plausible candidates to receive qualifying offers… Easy Calls: J.T. Realmuto (Phillies), George Springer (Astros), DJ LeMahieu (Yankees) Along with Reds ace Trevor Bauer, these are the clear-cut stars of the 2020-21 free agent class. All will receive qualifying offers from their respective teams, and all will reject the offers since lucrative long-term contracts surely await on the open market. Of the players who could become free agents if their teams decline their 2021 club options, Anthony Rizzo seems like the only reasonable QO candidate, but the Cubs are almost a lock to exercise their $16.5MM option on his services.

What I don't like is a team like the Reds who rely on it to much to score runs. When you hit them then you have days like the Dodgers are tonight but if you aren't then you don't score.

Seeking6 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Part of me feels bad for Kershaw but I guess that's what playoff baseball is about and separates the regular season greats and playoff greats. Just saw a stat where Kershaw has the highest ERA in MLB postseason history for pitchers with over 100 innings in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all that said he is now 11-12 in the play-offs career wise. 2-1 this year. With a career ERA of 4.31. His IP is 177.1 with 146 hits. Not too shabby.
