There's a lot working for and against him. For being Boston and his postseason success. Against being DH and that kills him. He doesn't even have anywhere near the WAR that Edgar does and the writers don't give him a shot. He's gonna end up with less WAR and a lower WRC+ than Jim Thome, who I don't think has a shot in hell at being a first ballot hall of famer. That's why I say it'll be interesting. On the BBREF WAR leader boards he's a little above Johnny Damon and a little below Jim Edmonds and Kenny Lofton. If I had to bet money Id say no way he gets in first ballot but it's really hard to predict anything with these writers.

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
Both teams loaded the bases with 2 outs in the 1st, Heatley struck out and we got nothing, Tulo lined a single to left center for 2 runs. Gonna be a long one.Originally posted by G PericoIf I ain't got it, then I gotta take it

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
Braves once again pull it out and win on a tremendous catch with 2-outs in the 9th. I am LOVING watching this team finish out the year...kudos to Brian Snitker for not letting the guys mail it in. IMO, the guy has earned the right to manage this team next year. With tonight's win the Braves' have avoided a 100 loss season..."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
I hope this is a case where a team peaks just a bit too early.
Anyways, nice win by the Jays. Donaldson had some funky shoes on tonight too.

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
Though if Jays offense can get it going again, it won't matter who they face, they could beat anyone.
9 games left, magic number to clinch playoffs is 8.
What a turnaround for Liriano.

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
Papi's homer tonight literally dropped my jaw and made me say "Jesus" out loud.
Statcast may have shorted it by 40 or 50 feet, as it hit the catwalk. If the catwalk wasn't there, it would've hit very high on the back wall.Last edited by TripleCrown9; 09-23-2016, 11:12 PM.Boston Red Sox

Re: 9/19 - 10/2 Game Discussion Thread
Buck and Pat were speculating that Liriano should be the one to start the Wild Card game. I would be comfortable with him, Happ or Sanchez. The Jays thankfully have three very good choices in that department.
