"Career year" doesn't mean "will be lucky to hit again." He could settle in right around there, but his peak isn't going to be that much better than that. Their core players all played 147+ games this season, and the one who was their 2nd best offensive player is gone. They need Betts...

Ok, then let's bet on the next time they put up a .282 team BA with a .461 SLG%. Wanna wager that they'll be below both of those the next two seasons?

yeah it was bush

Johnson is getting some residual R and D votes who somehow think both candidates are equal. He wouldn't have the rabid (dare I say, deplorable) fanbase that staunchly supports him. Republicans don't care about Rand Paul. She's an extremely qualified candidate. I think she'd lose to Kasich...

I'll be surprised if she doesn't win by 5+ points in the popular. The electoral college looks like a massacre. I think Obama would win by more, for sure. I wouldn't be bothered by his words if they weren't physically true and potentially harmful. He didn't say he wanted to grab women, he said...

Yup, agreed. He's great.

Wrong. It's at about 6.5 and growing (and that's by 538, which tend to be a little more conservative on the odds than other places). This is partisan politics; the republicans will mostly always fall in line with their party, and same for democrats. she's fixing to blow him out. Rand doesn't...

he thinks the government did 9-11.

He will be very good every year. I don't see every player of theirs having career years every year from here on out. Some guys will get hurt. Some one player or two will have more down years. I don't expect any team to hit .282 as a team with a .461 slg% anytime soon. Everything clicked for them...

I didn't say they are going anywhere; I said their offense won't be this historically good again for a long time.

They have to hope everyone has amazing years at the same time again, and replace Ortiz's 1.100 OPS. Also, all must remain healthy again. Their team offensive WAR was insanely higher than anyone else's. It's very unlikely everything clicks for them at the same time again.

haha oh brother.

I'm not convinced Betts will be a 9.6 WAR player every year, or that Bradley and Pedroia can keep up that level of production, and Papi is gone. The team and their offense will remain good, but like 5 guys had potential career years, all at the same time (and all remained healthy). That doesn't...

They're going to remain good going forward, but I severely doubt their offense is as good as it was this year anytime soon. So many guys had career-type years and Papi will be gone after his insane final year.

I'm not saying the org. definitely feels they'll move in another direction after this year. I'm just saying that giving him only a 1-year deal creates that discussion/possibility. Guys in the last years of their deals or on 1-year deals are frequently referred to as lame ducks; sometimes coaches...

that's kind of exactly why it's a lame duck situation, though: it gives them an out if things don't go how they want. look, obviously Snit is OK with it and he's extremely committed to the Braves, which is great to see. the players also very obviously love the guy, which is probably the most...

I was talking about the n-word part. it amazes me that some people can't see that people aren't upset about his words, but the actions that his words imply. i've said the word pussy more times than I can count. I've never bragged about grabbing women's pussies and getting away with it because I...

wait, saying stupid ****, or admitting to grabbing women's vaginas without explicit consent if he wants to, because he can and won't face repercussions? You've done that kind of thing? Or is the fact that you're not as rich as trump holding you back from doing that type of thing? don't lump me...

polls say it's pretty much put away. what do you mean by "put him away"? also many in the GOP are seeing it's over (part of the reason many of them are now jumping ship).

so that makes it OK for a man who wants to be president? should he not be held to a higher standard?
