    Dave Roberts doing his best Joe Maddon these last two games. Take a guy out throwing one hit ball with a 4-0 lead in a possible series tying game, but leave a guy in after giving up 3 bombs trailing 4-1 in an elimination game.

    You cried an awful lot. I’m actually not terribly bitter.  Didn’t I tell you this was going to happen when you were crying poor during a four game sweep 3 months ago? I’ve had plenty of time to reckon with it. I’m good.  I said then you better win this year because the yanks have the future and you did.
    congrats

    We shall see in 3 days:

    Kershaw hasn't made decision on opt-out: 'It will be an eventful 3 days'
    15m ago
    Harry How / Getty Images Sport / Getty
    LOS ANGELES CA - OCTOBER 28 Clayton Kershaw 22 of the Los Angeles Dodgers walks off the field after pitching during the seventh inning against the Boston Red Sox in Game Five of the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium on October 28 2018 in Los Angeles California

    Now that the 2018 World Series is over, Los Angeles Dodgers ace left-hander Clayton Kershaw has three days to decide whether or not to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract and become a free agent.

    Kershaw has yet to make up his mind.

    "I know future questions are obviously coming for myself," he said, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. "I've got three days now to think about all of that stuff before anything happens. And so it will be an eventful three days for me, and I'll try to figure it out."

    If Kershaw decides not to opt out of his contract, he will be paid $32 million in 2019 and $33 million in 2020 before hitting free agency in 2021, according to Cot's Contracts.

    Otherwise, he will hit free agency this offseason and either negotiate a new contract to stay in Los Angeles or leave to sign with a new team.

    "I haven't made the decision yet," Kershaw added. "We have three days to talk, between us and the Dodgers, see what happens. And then we'll go from there."

    In the spring, team owner Mark Walter said they should make the seven-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young winner "a Dodger for life."

    If this is the end of his tenure in L.A., he will go out on a bit of a sour note after back-to-back World Series losses.

    The 30-year-old has cemented himself as one of the best - if not the best - Dodgers pitchers of all time. Over 11 seasons, he's gone 153-69 with a 2.39 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 9.8 K/9 in 2,096 1/3 regular-season innings.

  • I keep hearing people lambaste Roberts for his managing but from what I understand he is doing all analytics and no gut calls.

    The loss is a front office thing.

    Why they sat Bellinger is silly.  It's the World Series.  Sure he struggled against lefties but it's the World Series...

    Congrats to Boston.

    I didn't bother to look it up but were there any players still on the team from their last WS win?

    Bogaerts was on the 2013 team as a rookie. (Late season call up but played in the World Series)
    Pedroia, but he really doesn't count this year.
    Brandon Workman was there in 2013 but not on the WS roster this year.
    Steven Wright had a cup of coffee with the big league club in 2013, appearing in 4 games but no playoffs.

    Jackie Bradley Jr was on the 2013 team. Played in 30 games or so, but didn't make the postseason roster that year.

    Vegas is calling the Phillies the odds-on favorite to sign both Harper and Machado in the off-season.

    With a decent pitching staff and Moniak coming up that'd be a badass team.

    No way they sign both.

    They grab one (Harper) and the leftover spikes his way to the Bronx.

    Maybe one but can't really see us signing both.  And although I am not a Bryce Harper fan at all I'd rather them go for him than Manny.
