That was over 10 years ago. I believe people can learn from their mistakes.


Except for Matt Williams.
 
Prior was actually on with Mike & Mike this morning.

232+ innings his sophomore year :x .
 
The young arms out of the pen and how he worked them? Harang and Mesoraco are probably the worst ones.

You don't want a guy with a horrific idea of how to set a lineup, 0 idea how to use a bullpen, destroys arms, favors veterans over younger players, against any kind of analytics and is against getting on base to manage anywhere but especially in Washington.

He's like the 4th AAAA OF'er. A really good guy from all accounts, players like him and he's a scrappy dude...but you start playing him everyday, you start to see why he's never really stuck around at the MLB level :lol

He's perfect w/Pedro, get these guys in the booth once a week.

I didn't follow the Reds closely, so I was just asking. The lineup questions are valid and favoring veterans over younger guys is problematic, but if the staff around him isn't full of yes-men than maybe he could learn how to change. IDK, I just personally like Dusty so that's why I wouldn't be upset with him :lol

Out of all the managers on the market he technically has the best track record. Bud Black never had talent in SD, but besides knowing how to handle pitching I'm not sure what else he'd bring to the table. Gardenhire is a basic retread. I'm still holding out hope for Dave Martinez or Ron Wotus.
 
even though Girardi annoys me sometimes it's times like this where i realize we could have a much worse situation
 
Congrats to the mets fans on your team advancing to the WS

it always used to be LOLmets but cant even say that anymore 
laugh.gif
 

Ill stick to making fun of my phillies. I do hope Toronto some how makes this a interesting series and ties it up tomorrow night
 
Price needs to get that monkey off his back tomorrow night. One game at a time, but I'm confident we can do it.

The amount of pressure on this dude, especially after losing game 2 in that manner is monumental. I think he's mentally cooked. If he comes out dealing early he might have a shot though
 
you think gibbons should have a quicker hook this time if price gets in a jam or let him work out of it?
think both pitchers throw a gem

The cupboard is bare for Gibbons. He might just have to keep him in especially if it's before the third or fourth inning. He still has to strategize for a possible game 7. I just have a feeling that he won't be able to come back out dealing after that humiliation and the winless streak makes it double
 
NYC heads...just curious...what borough you reppin?

Brooklyn! Right down the street from where the Cyclones play.

Can't believe we're going to the World Series. I was 9 the last time we played and I remember vividly, Armando blowing the save. Todd Zeille just missing a home run. Hopefully we take it this year. If the Mets and Jets won in the same year, I probably would just die.

His performance tomorrow might be worth a few million for his next contract after the season so hopefully he pitches a gem.
 
Interesting to see whether Price will choose Chicago or Toronto next year. Cubs need to improve on starting pitching and they'll be set.
 
Just checked out ALCS schedule. Why are all games on FS1? It makes sense. I never see their games on TBS. :{

Straight up disrespect. They deserve to be on TBS or Fox.

Shoot. At least it's at a reasonable time now. I can actually watch my Royals move on to the WS tonight :{

TBS has a solid format/crew for sure. I do like FS1 though.

The ALCS times have been so unappealing too; pretty much if you aren't a fan of either team you aren't going to make the time to sit and watch the series.

Fox wants to shift more viewers to their secondary channel. It's a load of poop.

ALCS games starting at 1 PM PST are an absolute joke.

Good thing tomorrow is 5 PM though, but still.
