  1. Clearly top 5 by your imaginary metric. What managers are better? Just think about it, doubt you can name 4. It's because managers are pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Who cares? They're irrelevant. You literally just said that. Hinch, Kapler, Melvin and Francona are all head and shoulders better.
  2. "Don't side with management" is a pretty good mantra in most walks of life, but it's especially prudent when you're some kind of dolt who, again, thinks everything about a baseball team needs to be replaced EXCEPT the manager. That you try to pass off the idea of building a team around a manager, like that makes ANY horsefeathering sense just proves, yet again, that your dumb bit horsefeathering sucks. Managers matter very little in baseball anyways but Maddon is clearly top 5. He's not bringing in players like Heyward, Chatwood, Darvish, etc that can't perform. Clearly top 5 by your imaginary metric.
  3. I was not of that opinion before this season but now I completely agree. It wouldn't remotely surprise me if that's what happened. I'm probably just projecting but I can't believe Theo and Jed have been happy with his frequent weird ass decisions Same, but also Jed and Theo should be better at signing players that don't lick butt.
  4. Joe has been a trainwreck this year. I would very much be fine if Maddon finishes his contract with the Cubs next year and then they move on to someone else. I was not of that opinion before this season but now I completely agree.
  5. Hey Eric, where was I missing? is the exact quote I believe.
  6. I've looked into this. There are very specific parameters on what would get his contract off the books in terms of the LT.
  7. If you walked up there without a bat he would 100% walk you.
  8. I promise you that nobody in that locker room likes him.
  9. This team and their signings has made me so incredibly meatbally it's insane.
  10. The game plan against Chatwood should be no swings until 2 strikes.
  11. Go the horsefeathers away forever Chatwood.
  12. That was the classic, if this idiot doesn’t walk 6+ guys a game and 2+ an inning he could be really good because he induces pretty much only soft contact and strikes guys out. That's the mythical upside everyone said he had.
  13. Rizzo did his absolute best to get TOOTBLAN'ed there too.
  14. Nothing about this team is fun or exciting or compelling. Bring up Alzolay just so we can watch something different because I'm not really interested in watching Montgomery walk the ballpark as a starter.
  15. Let's discuss Theo's free agency track record.
  16. I mean to be fair he completely fucked up that inning.
  17. [tweet]https://twitter.com/dspracale/status/1000217879151894528[/tweet] I was just coming to share that. I was dying.
  18. KB is Joey Votto and it's still not registering with me.
