    Great! Then for clarification purposes only, just say “no” to trading for or signing kimbrel! No more retreads.

    Don't worry, the only retreads Chaim is interested in are cheap ones.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    In that case, I would like to add; just say “no” to trading for or signing bard! No more cheap retreads.

    Well, now you're really getting picky.

    I mean, Nick Pivetta and Michael Wacha are cheap retreads that seem to be doing OK...

    Well now you have filled the script on me.

    Bullpen arms - no retreads allowed!

    Starter arms - retreads and any other type of starter arm are welcome, especially the cheap ones!

    And then in the next game, Graterol got the save and Kimbrel the win for the Dodgers, and Jansen had a blown save for the Braves. Baseball is such a fickle game.

    The Dodgers/Braves series was a fun one to watch.

    Sound familiar?
    Sounds like the correct way to run a baseball team.

    Since relief pitchers run so hot & cold, it seems like a good idea to pick up hot ones mid-season rather than sign a bunch of them, go through a trial and error process, and finally get a few that earn their keep.

    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    It does look like Bloom did both given her signed Strahm, Diekman and Robles this off-season…

    Yes, and Andriese and others the winter before.

    JBJ's grand slam in the ALCS was my favorite moment of that title run. I have replayed that dozens of times. But for the life of me I never understood how his defense made up for his lack of offense. Now it's painfully obvious that his defense is certainly not making up for his constant bad at bats, that is a giant hole in the bottom of the lineup and I'm tired of it.

    Duran has been exceptional, he is everything we wanted out of him and more. It would be crazy not to keep him on the active roster and play him in front of JBJ when Kiki returns IMO.

    Making up for lack of offense with defense isn't something new. Ozzie Smith is in the Hall of Fame, after all.
