    It's not the actual travel time, it's all the various hassles of airports and bus rides and hotels and such.

    LMFAO The old Dana from Atlanta is starting to come out. I didn't think the kind; cuddly bullshitter version would last all that long.

    As for Espada -- I don't want a manager that says he is "ok" with how the rain delay was handled, right after his GM says the opposite.... I also don't want a manager that actually says "we needed to wait for God to hold off on the rain". God gives no ****s about holding off the rain so low IQ Joe can trot his team out there.

    Mark Teixera was right, Espada is a God damn idiot- he is Steve Martin from the movie The Jerk.

    They also get into a routine, and their bodies get used to that schedule.

    Part of it also is that Dana knows he has a team (with some reasonable luck) good enough to win a title, but also thin enough that an injury could destroy the season.

    This explains why teams don't typically fly cross-country to play next-day games (sans getaway days).

    Oh wait...
    ____

    The other option was rescheduling on an off day -- which leads to an extra day of "various hassels of airports, bus rides, and hotels".

    What happened last night is exactly what should've happened.

    Cmon now Houstunna, Dana Brown is not performing MRI's and giving medical examinations and recommendation.

    FYI: MRI do not detect broken bones (just soft tissue injuries)...x-rays look at bones

    MRI is better at checking for small fractures.

    He's in the loop. He can give suggestions and argue with umpires on the field about rain delays.

    Truth. I've only had about 7 of them, you'd think I'd remember that?

    When did Mark Teixera say that? Did they overlap on the Yankees and was it based on their time together there?

    Mark Teixera needs to worry about his Rangers and Yankees.
