Given how incredibly long they played and the hallowed records they hold, Nolan’s and Pete Rose’s relatively low placements on that list are...
This has been a great two days. It almost makes it worth the inevitable headlines we will see from the typical contrarian lickspittles: “Astros...
which one? You have two old men at Mgr and C, both of whom have a massively inflated sense of their own importance, enabled by a third old man P...
Every night, he treats innings 7-9 like game 7 of the World Series, while he treats the lineup card and innings 1-6 like day 1 of Spring Training....
I was ambiguous - I meant “at-bats as catcher” to show that he is getting far fewer chances despite being so much ahead of the competition (the...
I have to assume this was a set-up / punch-line “slow play”. It’s too good not to be on purpose - listing four players the board salivated over...

@Buck Turgidson I take it back. I want him gone.
i agree. But Abreu has been even worse. Diaz would be ideal assuming Brantley comes back to DH and Dusty refuses to bench Maldy.

In the ok In a playoff series, Brantley is only taking ABs from Chas or Yanier. Help me understand what about that has you so excited. (Of...
To support this, right now Fangraphs has us at 48.3% to win the division, 91.9% to make the playoffs and 12% to win the World Series. The Rangers...
Sure, it’s great in theory. But haven’t you and others said Baker does not view Diaz as a 1B? So in reality won’t it be Diaz losing DH at-bats,...
Whatever. Fans “lose it” when the manager intentionally doesn’t play the best lineup of available/rested players. After that, everyone recognises...
HALLELUJAH!
