No one will make this argument, but it is the correct one. You should pay your off the field personnel more and treat that part like a real business trying to retain and grow talent in a positive environment

The original was a taut thriller. The sequel could be even better. “The sequel to last night or to Yamamoto starting G2 last year?” Well the timeline splits at what we call a ‘diversion point’ creating a rapidly expanding multiversal cinematic univer www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

I missed it earlier, is the whole discord about pulling starters in the postseason? That discourse is a really easy one. If bullpen blows it, the manager was dumb. If SP blows it, the manager was dumb. If the bullpen locks it down, business as usual. If the SP keeps rolling, the SP is a star.

The last time the Reds successfully converted a save opportunity in the postseason was Game 2 of the 1995 NLDS against the Dodgers. Brett Butler, who turns 70 in 8 months, played in that game.

Yeah. Sure. The Phillies are down to their last shot. But so were the 1976 Phillies, just shy of 50 years ago. And you know what happened to them? That's right. They were called "the hollow men of the baseball postseason" by their hometown paper and swept out of the playoffs.

The narrative was they saved the season when they fired Rob, but they actually probably sunk it. They probably shouldn’t have hired Mattingly to begin with. He is a bad manager, seemingly provides nothing, and clearly operates in a way that is not collaborative with the coaches or players.
