It's very possible he's been shamed/forced into it. Or maybe this was the plan all along? (I doubt it.) Dubon is hitting well right now so it's...
In the Rangers series - when he made the move - Pena went 7/18. It was a gigantic swing that paid off over and over and over again in what was...
That's the answer. Verlander and Valdez want Maldonado. Good managers defer to their starting pitchers; this is true at every level of baseball....
I think Montero has jumped back into the mix, and will be ahead of Graveman and Maton. He hasn't been lights-out great, but only 5 ER in his last...
Maldonado - because the starting pitchers request their catchers, and at least two of them favor Maldonado's work behind the plate. I can't answer...
LOL. This is like the Colts hanging a "AFC Finalist" banner. Congrats, I guess, on awarding yourself the winner....
Dusty Baker, because, until the Ranger series, Jeremy Pena had posted a .264 batting average and .294 on-base % as the #2 hitter, and was actually...
That doesn't make any less moronic.
Chas and Diaz started all three of those games, one of which they lost, 17-1. In fact, Tucker missed a game due to illness and they gave Altuve...
Again, we arrive at another problem: the only decisions you want to talk about are the "bad" ones - you don't want to talk about - and certainly...
That wasn't the parameter, Mr. Reading Comprehension. It was Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman, Pena, Tucker, Diaz, Chas and Brantley/Meyers all playing...
Let's start here: they're 17-18; not 17-22. I have to assume you're just trolling at this point? There's no possible way someone claiming to be a...
This, I think, gets to the root of my objection: "intentionally," as if he's purposefully sabotaging the team. Look, when you factor in health...
What does this even mean?... Very few things in baseball "follow" - games have no carryover effect. I was responding to your overall premise,...
I was responding to someone who specifically cited that one game as proof we'd be in better position if only Chas played more. I dismissed it as...
This such a weird post - I understand/appreciate the sentiment - but it's not tethered to reality. Michael Brantley has played six games this...
What you, and others, are doing is (conveniently) assuming not only different results but guaranteed positive, tangible results (3 more wins!) -...
I'm really curious how Dana Brown feels? Chas could very well be the offseason power play that reveals who really is in charge. If Chas is back -...
That's never going to happen. Alvarez likes to play in the field. But the idea of Alvarez/Chas splitting LF/DH is viable, at least in theory. I...
When and where did I say that? But read through any/every Baker thread, and it's rooted in all the things he hasn't yet cost us. We're in first...
