    MLB (Manfred) pondering the idea of a Golden At-Bat

    the fact that MLB only uses the Manfred Man in the regular season and not the playoff's tells you that the know its a stupid rule. Question: Do the facts even support the idea that it shortens games? I mean its not like tie games are now over after 10 innings

    MLB (Manfred) pondering the idea of a Golden At-Bat

    Maybe every pitcher could get one mulligan....you know, they hang a curve ball that ends up over the monster. Aaron Judge is trotting around second base and they call a Mulligan. Judge has to get back in the box like nothing happened.

    In Case You Missed It - 2004 Docuseries on Netflix

    One thing that I don't recall hearing before was the insinuation that the Yankees had bugged the Red Sox clubhouse but the Sox found it and tore it down. Was that public knowledge prior to this release??

    Sox Coaching changes

    exactly the opposite. Fatse messed with him (and others, Bennintendi, etc) and tried to make him pull everything when he first came up. Duran struggled until he decided he was going to go back to being himself and use his athleticism...

    The Yoshida Conundrum

    Okay, fair point. If Yoshida and similarly Devers kept things to themselves then that would make sense. If however, the team was aware of an ongoing issue for the entire season as Cora alludes to then I would expect them to investigate (MRI) to assure that "playing through" it wouldn't do more...

    The Future of Alex Cora in Boston

    Just to add to this ....what is Jason Varitek doing, does he not see what Wong is behind the plate? Is he encouraging the catcher to sit on his butt and eliminate any chance of blocking something in the dirt when runners are on third base??

    O’Neill to the IL (Leg infection) Martin activated, Valdez recalled & Booser optioned

    I have zero inside information, but my first thought when I heard that O'Neil had a leg infection was that it was the result of a tattoo that didn't heal well.
