At least until we get Robot Managers...
-
Two teams have fired Showalter and then gone on to win the World Series the next season, and the third team fired him and one season later starting finishing second and first in their division (including two World Series runs). This guy does have a track record of holding teams back and then being labeled a genius for it...
-
And in the 57 IP from July 20 to September 12, Price had an ERA of 1.56. And that stretch included a game against the Astros...
-
3 starts, 2 against the Yankees, 13 IP. And two of those three were post-clinching games with nothing on the line...
-
Or Harper goes to the Dodgers, which brings him closer to the studios where he can shoot commercials for hair care products. And really, the Dodgers could use an outfielder...
-
I really don't get why the Nationals' fire sale didn't include Harper. Harper has an agent who doesn't believe in extensions without first trying free agency. And they already had his replacements, with Juan Soto lighting up MLB pitching his rookie year and Victor Robles right behind him. Dealing Harper could have given some valuable experience to Robles. Also, they could have gotten back some potentially valuable pieces...
-
I think it's being weighted against his best days, which might not be completely fair either...
-
Home plate umpires typically defer check swing calls anyway...
-
There are actually fantasy baseball leagues for umpires (true!!) where you score based on their ejections. Do you want to take that away? In your defense, it might be a step towards helping the participants in those leagues get a life...
-
His highest K/9 this year was in August. But the last 2 months of the season span 17 IP over 60 days...
-
Pitching in ballpark with a left field wall as close as the monster but without all the the height might be a factor. Also they brought in the CF fence recently...
-
not to mention, how are managers going to argue with robot umps? Will they run out on the field yelling "01110000 01101001 01110010 01100001 01101110 01101000 01100001 00100000 01110000 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011 00001010 00001010 00001010!!!"?

Sandoval comes off the books in time for Bogaerts and Sale's free agency, which is when the Sox need him gone by...
-
Garret Richards!!
-
He might be more comfortable, but, and this truly bothers me, the Yankees do seem to be a team every star player wants to play for since childhood. Also his agent has boat payments...
-
I’d rather we entered the era of that “piranha in the pants” thing...
-
It never seems to be remembered that way, but, yes, the tying run came in on a passed ball just before that, and it also put Knight in scoring position...
-
You sure about that? A lot of these super competitive types like pressure. Success under pressure is how legends are made...
-
I hated the Buckner play when it happened, but some of the jokes were funny...
-
He’s missed almost all of the last two seasons and didn’t have a lengthy track record before that. He might be obtainable on a minor league deal. Certainly no one is going multiple years on Smith...
-
Think they can outbid the Yankees, who know their downfall is starting pitching and will have fewer big contracts mucking up their payroll next season?
-
So... you’re saying the act of closing out games could be handled by a group of pitcher? A committee, if you will. Interesting. Makes me wonder why no one has ever tried this “committee of closers” before....
-
That’s why we make up words like “threepeat” and “quadropoly”. Ok I made that last one up...
-
What if Bill Mueller was hitting into a shift?
-
If you had two games to start and needed to choose from Price, Eovaldi and Rodriguez, how could anyone pick both Eovaldi and Rodriguez?
