44 minutes Harden was on the floor, the Clippers were outscored by 21 points. In the FOUR minutes Harden wasn't on the floor, the Clippers...
But here's the problem - you're assuming player performance is independent of the manager and that if a different person was managing the team,...
So says the guy that, without knowing who the manager would be this year, thought this team would win 102+ games based on the talent they have. If...
I think a yearly breakdown would be interesting too, but I imagine there's a lot of randomness in each year. An average manager should win 0 more...
The 2019 Nationals won the World Series and were 16-24 at the 40 game mark and had just lost 6 of their last 8 games - I suspect they are glad...
It's weird that you consider a team that's being given the 4th best odds to win the World Series right now by betting markets (behind the Dodgers,...

No one wanted Click here because he refused to improve the team. Back then, the complaints were that Click was letting everyone go and the...
Could be. And maybe it would better for getting him out of his slump and making him more useful the rest of the season as he was last year. Or...
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...
