If you just want to watch the condensed game, you can just find it on the scores page or the team's schedule and click the Wrap link and there will be a Condensed Game button. I can call up archived full games from this past season in the mlb.tv app, but not through the website.

The Red Sox absolutely jacked that trade up even with getting rid of Price Verdugo is a knucklehead who hasn't really panned out like it was hoped he would, and Jeter Downs fell into an absolute hole, but Conner Wong looked like a perfectly cromulent starting catcher this year, and that's something?

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:Absolutely not. Verdugo is a barely average hitter, below average everywhere else, and seems like a trashy guy. To Verdugo's credit after the 2022 season he said that he wanted to improve his defense, and he did. Which meant for a moment it looked like he's finally put it all together. Then he cratered in the second half, got benched a couple times and remains seemingly as callow as ever.

I've always felt that one of the Kinsler/Pedroia/Utley triumvirate of second basemen was going to make the hall, and I don't think Pedroia had quite enough career to get in.

Inspector_666 posted:One of the wildest things about the Mookie trade is that people will still defend it and say Mookie was dead set on testing the FA market! Iirc, it was something Mookie talked about a fair bit, and it was in keeping with how he'd conducted his entire career to that point.

Inspector_666 posted:I mean, sure, but then he signed an extension! The conventional wisdom was that he was looking for a top of the market deal (Trout money in other words) when he was negotiating with Boston in the winter of 2019. Boston made him an offer that was good, but not that, he said no thanks, and instead of making a counteroffer they traded him. Then Covid happened and due to the overall uncertainty that caused (would there be a 2020 season, what would the economics be etc etc), signed his extension with the Dodgers. If that's right or just a combination of cope and Red Sox FO misinfo, I dunno. I understand, but don't agree with, the Red Sox FO mindset that you do your damndest to avoid big money/long-term commitments to players because they're dreadfully inefficient. But I will say, it's pretty dang galling that Mookie wound up signing for what was basically Boston's reported offer with 2 years tacked on. Then again, the rotation was basically falling apart in 2019 and having Mookie would not have kept Chris Sale off that bicycle. Either way, the biggest sin was that they spent the saved money poorly.

live with fruit posted:The Red Sox don't get enough poo poo for letting Beltre walk so they could sign Adrian Gonzalez. In hindsight Beltre was certainly better, but at the time González was younger, and it's not like he stunk when he was in Boston (he put up nearly 10 bWAR in a season and change). So in the moment letting Beltre walk and trading for Gonzalez was a defensible move. Plus, if the Red Sox kept Beltre then not only does the Punto trade with LA not happen, but Rizzo doesn't wind up in Chicago.
