Yeah Lester it's on you. Why didn't you homer to give yourself run support or tell Strop not to give up a 2 run bomb?

 

I know what he's trying to do but come on no one faults you for losing yesterday.

i think those guys really do see it that way, though. at least some of them.

I have no doubt that Lester feels blame for giving up runs in yesterday's game. You don't get to be as good as he is, especially with how hot he runs on the mound, without an unhealthy commitment to succeed.

 

He also kinda has to be contrite in a public facing remark to avoid idiots who want to misrepresent things athletes say.

and the moves he made worked better than the ones maddon made (or didn't make). don't get why this is such a controversial position to take.

 

if you'd rather have me say "maddon sucked tonight" and leave matheny out of it, that's fine. obviously lackey, the cubs hitters and an embarrassingly bad home plate umpire were the reasons the cubs lost, but maddon was bad.

Basing the quality of the decision making solely on outcomes defeats the purpose of evaluating decision making.

 

1 man invests $100 in treasuries. 1 man invests $100 in lottery tickets. The first man's decision making is likely better irrespective of whether the second man wins the lottery.

i'd definitely classify "hoping for a Ross hit in the 6th inning" under 'lottery betting'

 

was gonna say the exact same thing.

If you had a greater than 1 in 10 chance to win the lottery that might make sense.

It's fitting that the [expletive] ass game thread for this [expletive] ass game will peter out with these [expletive] ass posts.
