So I just woke up to see the result. Seems like Maldy worked his magic and kept Framber cool, calm and collected?
Well, it was nice to wake up to see a win! I do wonder on Dusty’s emotions. Is he more happy that his favorite got the walkoff hit, or angry that...
2 Ks on 7 pitches plus a pitchout. A pitchout he only threw because he knew it would only take one more pitch to take out Maldy. I ****ing give...
Just one? Maldy Ks 100% of the time. Just a question of Meyers.
Even TK pointing out that Diaz hits far better as a C than a DH. If the guys paid to toe the party line are making comments, the FO might...
Luckily the first half of his sophomore year will still be his freshman year. He should be nice and fresh. And for that we can finally thank Dusty!
Now he says "we have a bit more urgency, but its not time to panic." So, you know, progress ... now if only someone would tell him that 1) those...
It is the fundamental problem with "old school" managers using the eye test, vs analytic ones looking at catch probability or zone rating. It is...
And everyone was stealing signs in 2017.
“sprint to the finish” [IMG]
Nope. According to @Hey Now! , because alternate scenarios where the better player outperfomed the worse player did not actually occur, it is...
Already done. He is a waste of time - completely ignores the actual point to ramble about last year, injuries, etc. It’s such a simple question...
Good lord, these answers are ridiculous. “The pitchers want him, that’s the answer”. Why do we pay him to manage? What about Javier? And why was...
Here we agree (probably because it is based in facts vs deference to those who “know better”). Montero has been far better than Graveman and Maton...
and those two pitchers are not managers. Deferring to them is not good management. And none of that explains why the worst catcher in the league...
This is the most correct you have been. The sad part is that you don’t realize why.
Yes, why is Maldonado starting over Diaz and Dubon over Chas?
Up to a point. Given the other 15 are heavily weighted to KC and Oak, they should not be happy with 8-7. Split with Baltimore and Arizona, go 7-2...
Awesome lineup and awesome result. Next year will be epic assuming we get a manager who chooses to win. Let’s hope the FO can dictate a bit more...
Close but not quite. Death lineup would have a different order (Peña ninth, Yordan 2nd, etc). But this is way better than the alternative. I hope...
