  1. he needs to find the strike zone and fast.
  2. At least Drew bats in the next inning.
  3. Kotsay could you please at least only get yourself out?
  4. It doesn't necessarily mean that you need to be a nice guy to win games, but you've got to be able to get people to buy in. As long as you do, they'll play their best for you but if you can't, you have no business behind the bench, and yes, you CAN tell the difference.
  5. And that's not significant? It's a debate about intangibles, so it's not really something that can be conclusively settled, but since we're dealing with human beings and people tend to perform better when they're happy and don't have a ton of distractions around them, I believe Tito's ability to manage personalities is a huge element of our winning.
  6. That is indeed the infamous Rusty Kuntz.
  7. It can be hard to tell from the outside. For the most part the only time we really learn of the actual elements if team chemistry is after the fact. But I have never heard anything negative about Tito's ability to keep people all heading in the right direction. At least other than maybe a guy like Manny or Nomar who are completely determined not to go with the program.
  8. if you guys are trying to get me to shut up about something you have a strange way of showing it.
  9. That's an interesting philosophy. At its core it seeks to proclaim that all baseball is fantasy baseball. I disagree with it because however professional these guys are they're still human beings.
  10. THAT is interesting.
  11. You are, in fact, wrong. Carter's mostly been playing left.
  12. It's certainly possible. Even if he never hits much Wagners' defensive talents will get him to the big leagues.
  13. But Kilo wasn't talking about a platoon goalie. He was talking about a situation where Rask spit the bit and the team would be fine riding Roloson. I know this conversation's meandered a bit but do try to follow along.
  14. And the reason they kept him when Thomas was putting up a .927 SV% the next season was... BTW, and just for the record, Thomas' career stats in playoff games (SSS of course) 2.16 GAA, .926 SV% Even without that he's got a career .918 SV% and has gotten better every year. You gonna find that in the bargain bin?
  15. Holy crap, Kilo. Maybe you need to take a break.
  16. Roloson is 40 years old. I thought 40 year old goaltenders couldn't be counted on, got hurt, etc. it'd be easier to have a reasonable discussion if your arguments were actually internally consistent.
  17. If they weren't aware of Manny's fragility they only have themselves to blame. It was there, and obviously so, when they acquired him. I mean heck, that offseason wasn't he recovering from something knee related? And Manny did not sign here. He was traded for with the Minnesota Wild. IIRC it was Peter Kalus going the other way, not exactly a star acquisition or anyone who became anything with Minnesota.
  18. hey, he proposed the scenario, called it ridiculous, right in the face of it actually having happened THIS YEAR. Go ahead and laugh, it suits the shade of stupid this thread is sliding into.
  19. You really think if Rask can't hack it that we can have Roloson starting every day. OK. Not much I can do to argue with that level of delusion.
