Is Sam Fuld going to be that much better prepared in 2 years joining here vs. learning in another org? I'd rather he not get poisoned by the conflict they are setting up here. Good lord, being the analytics coordinator under TLR. He's going to be viewed as a Randy Brown.

I don't give a crap about a grooming opportunity. I just don't want the gains our player dev department has made to get shut out of the coaching of the players.

Although he also discarded prestigious vets that declined and felt they deserved a spot. He plays favorites, so not any vet will do. And unfortunately in the 2000s a lot of older players seemed to be able to keep it going longer. Now there is basically Nelson Cruz and everybody else.

Okay so yeah a manager deals with players. So you just described what I was talking about while acting like you were disagreeing for some reason.

I can’t stress how much I would hate Yadi

Not sure we are good at guessing what things mean. Any negative news is always assumed to be a brilliant PR smokescreen.

Also hiding the us political posts thanks guys for making me work

There are a lot of interesting ( not necessarily in good way) dynamics here but a big one to me is how is LaRussa going to handle having to prove himself for the first time in 35 years? He has been deferred to for years with his success, now he not only doesn’t have that, he has to prove it...at age 76. But, I think we have a great group. If Tony is ready to work, I think the guys will rally anyway.

Kris Bryant for RF has been a pet of mine for a bit.

Sooo Clint hurdle huh

Ah, we’ve reached the part of the cycle where we start talking nfl.

Seems good to me.

Lol ”so I’ve had time to think it over. This hire is garbage”

He can actually be pretty funny in post games but yes it is pretty dry and acerbic. He's like ryan from the OC, but older.

The good news is this means I have 40 more years to learn how to be a baseball manager.

You have seen him more than me but this didn't seem that different from his late cardinals days where he'd mumble out a few words.

The worst part about that graphic is it looks like Tony is holding up a picture of his younger self for some reason.

yeah, was going to ask you. The reality behind a mistake like this is far more benign. They make a bunch to be ready, they use the same template, they forget that that was even a signature and it starts blending into the background, they rush to get it out on announcement.\ Still funny though!

I get why you say this but this is kinda overboard for me. There are plenty of managers they could plug in. Look at what Dusty just did. It's not like there's a bunch of proprietary stuff only he could know like the recipe of cocacola ors omething.

yeah they were at least self-aware. On the other hand, it looked like tricked hahn into leaving the office for takeout, then locked him out and he spent the last three days pounding the door to come in.

There was an inappropriate post that was hidden and action was taken. We are being fairly lenient here, please get a hold of yourselves.

Ok so that came from me and I regret quoting that section because it was just ridiculous entitled cards fan ranting. I meant to just quote the list of all the player feuds.

so I'm still on nascar on my nbcsc

thanks, yeah mlb isn't carrying it

For the record I'd be okay with warren buffet as manager.
