Or maybe - and this is hypothetical - Dusty knew how to motivate and get the best out of players. Is Chas better than Dubon all the time? Or is...
If only they had signed a pitcher that's pitched 3 innings so far this season with an ERA of 9 to a $60MM contract, everything would be right with...
Sure - Framber's first start was horrible and his second start was spectacular. All told, he has an ERA of 2.20. The Astros have 3 pitchers who...
They've only had 3 really awful starts this season though. Framber had an ERA of 2.20 in his 2 starts. Javier has an ERA of 1.10. Blanco has an...
That's true to a degree, but lineup management is only a tiny portion of what managing is about. It's mostly about motivation, creating the right...
I'm not sure why this is all so hard to believe. A ton of elite athletes go broke due to their own financial mismanagement or being scammed. Or...
Posts like this are a good example of what I mean when people don't understand the intricacies of managing, or leadership in general. No one here...
People don't understand how good Dusty was at managing people and egos and motivating people and all that stuff - which is actually something like...
He started 23 games for a team that made it to game 7 of the ALCS last year and pitched deeper than basically any other pitcher on the team....
Totally agree with this. Regardless of his comfort level, he's just not the ideal #2 hitter. At least flip him and Tucker - if Tucker gets on, he...
I'm not sure you sign a guy to $20MM/yr if you need to baby him in week 1 of 5 years. Maybe Hader shouldn't have pitched one of the non-save games...
Weird. Besides, whether the deal is for 1 year, 5 years, or 15 years is irrelevant. The issue right now isn't with year 5
And he posted a 1.000+ OPS in August. His 2021 was: April: 0.696 May: 1.065 June: 0.572 July: 0.847 August: 1.046 Sept: 0.724 Nothing about that...
Because they've done so well in actual home elimination playoff games?
Except he doesn't. He has one year - 2022 - where he did that. For his career, August and September are his two best months overall while April is...
FWIW, this is true of most college basketball teams. Take Edey off of Purdue or Filipowski off Duke or the best player off of most teams, and they...
Barnes and Smart have had no trouble having success post-UT. Given UT football's struggles during that period too, it seems like the problems...
Big12 was terrible. Texas and TCU played to their seed. (TCU couldn't underperform as a 9 seed) Houston, Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, BYU, and...
So basically one person did something stupid and instead of thinking "hmmm, that was stupid so lets not do that," the logical course of action is...
So a random unverified account on twitter with 90 followers has all sorts of inside info on multi-million dollar bets being made by a secret...
