2024 playoffs...World Series: Dodgers/Yankees

Keep forgetting Brent Honeywell was briefly White Sox property...

+11 ERA with the White Sox

4.05 w/ the Padres in the same season

 

2.70 ERA w/ the Pirates this season, 2.62 with the Dodgers, including 1 SAVE in 2 opportunities, and a 1.11 WHIP.

 

Tampa Bay ended up taking Honeywell in the second round in 2014 and he was on the taxi squad for the World Series in 2020. This postseason has been a different story because if it wasn't for his performance in Game 5 of the NLCS, the Dodgers might not have won Game 6.

And that is why you don't fire Dave Roberts after the disappointments. It's why you don't listen to the noise if you are a good GM/owner. Boone probably will get fired even though that roster was by no means dynastic.

30 minutes ago, Quin said:

Buehler gonna try and pull a Buehrle. 

Now that is an excellent post. That's worthy of mention during the broadcast but I doubt the announcers went there. In fact I know they didn't as I watched it.

The Dodgers’ biggest bullpen dilemmas start in the ninth inning. The team could continue to share that responsibility, or it could look to Michael Kopech, who thrived after arriving from the White Sox at the trade deadline. Alternatively, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes could provide stability by adding an experienced closer.

Blake Treinen, Daniel Hudson and Walker Buehler are free agents.

Dodgers have a gem in Kopech. They should keep him. In Chicago he was a home run machine but with a good organization he proved his value. Start him as a setup guy, close him once in a while. Or make him a starter. He should thrive in LA again next year IMO. Bullpens are so fragile. The Yankees' last two pitchers tonight, though overworked in the postseason, ran out of gas and both stunk. I guess Luke wasn't that bad considering he inherited bases loaded no outs in the eighth. But he had nothing left in the ninth.
