Wonder if they would Friday night news dump the TA decision. One way or the other, some aren’t going to be happy.
The Hendriks news was pretty obvious.
They’re just covering their butts in case the Sox pick up his option. If he’s back, then at least they can be around him and not be on record saying they wanted him gone.
My starting point of this offseason is that Moncada, Jimenez, and Anderson cannot be in spring training with the Sox.
If Adolis didn’t act like a jackass on the homer, maybe it goes the Rangers way. Baseball gods, guys. They’re real.
Still don’t like the ejections, but actions have consequences.
So they have discretion. In my opinion, don’t throw anyone out unless punches are thrown. It’s a playoff game. You can’t have it constantly in the regular season, but in the playoffs, calm things down, send Garcia to first , and continue the game.
Honestly, I don’t care if it’s intentional as long as it’s not at the head. It’s an emotional game. If they want to give a free runner in this case, take it, and move on. Maybe remember it next year.
It’s too bad MLB doesn’t have a contingency if there’s a double sweep in these series. If they wrap it up Friday night, there’s no good reason why the World Series can’t start next Tuesday. Instead, they’ll have to wait a full week. Terrible.
