As I've said before, if you really want to blame someone, your guy is Henry. He's the one who fired DD and hired Bloom. Bloom is doing exactly what he was hired to do, just as DD did. I'm not going to go off on Henry, because he's delivered 4 rings this century. That's twice as many as the rest of the AL East combined.
-
You have to ignore a lot of that stuff.
-
Not exactly. $145 + $120 = $265. Mookie got $365.
-
If the Phillies win it all, you could certainly say that DD will have stuck it to Henry a bit. As an optimist, my hope would be that it entices JH to increase the budget.
-
Yeah, the 1% owning 99% is an understatement. Such is capitalism.
-
No, you're just showing that you haven't been here long.
-
Yes, and then fired everybody LOL.
-
There was no obligation to Renfroe.
-
OK, but let's not cry poor for Bloom in 2022. He had 23.3 mill for Story and 12 mill for Bradley etc.
-
The 2022 team was 3 games out of a Wild Card spot at the deadline. It's not unreasonable to think you can make that up in 2 months with so many guys expected back from the IL.
-
The ascent of mediocrity actually goes back a ways. 2000 champs: 87-74 reg season 2006 champs: 83-78 reg season
-
That's the way I see it. And the more teams they let in the playoffs, the more a .500 team at the deadline still has a shot.
-
Oh great, now we have to have the same argument on 2 different threads.
-
That's close enough to the truth. I still maintain they did the right thing not pulling the plug, because they thought getting Sale and other guys back might give them a shot at the playoffs. But I can understand the argument against that too.
-
I thought we were talking payroll for tax purposes. That's what we usually go by. Tax payrolls: 2019 243.6 2022 234.5 2022 is 3-4% lower.
-
Yeah, the reality is that in pro sports they play the games to entertain people and make money. It's fans who do most of the caring about wins and losses.
-
The 2022 payroll was very close to $236M.
-
Slasher, you've been gone a while. You missed a reappearance of our friend Babe. He got himself banned again, of course.
-
Neither Dombrowski nor Bloom are responsible for Mookie leaving. That was an obvious ownership call. Just as Judge will be an ownership call for the Yankees.
-
As great as the Astros have done, they have to win this World Series to really validate it. As of now they only have the 2017 title, which many look on as tainted.
-
What did you say??? That's my favorite Kinks album.
-
DD has also shown he knows a thing or two about managers. Replacing Girardi has paid off hugely. And of course he hired Cora.
-
Judge is the riskiest play out there.
-
Most Yankee fans are fixated on three things: -No rings since 2009 -One pennant since 2003 -Cashman the GM the whole time
-
The knives are out in NY for Cashman, whose contract is up for renewal. Will be fun to watch.
