They were posturing with that, it was obvious

Dont get why people are so upset. He over platooned our high end prospects and isnt a big fan of analytics

Yeah i remember devers being the third ask but they werent budgimg. Imagine if they did though!

I just feel terrible for Darvish because this is his legacy. He left LA because he didnt want his child to go through the threats and bullying. You think about his 2018 season and how putrid he was, how much of this could be attributed to that? The mental stress of thinking you are tipping when you arent, etc...

A very interesting response from Yu Darvish:

Grab your popcorn folks, its going to get much much worse

It still boggles my mind how they decided to use a system like this. Its so easy looking back now and looking for it. Tonight I am going to watch the game following the Farquhar one and see how we put our signs down and if things changed. If no ill laugh at how bad our coaches are/were. Im also interested in rewatching Gios domination from earlier this year. The Astros got crossed up somewhere there too. Will be interesting to pick it apart.

WOW the evidence just keeps piling on. There is a megathread on /r/baseball thats growing exponentially with video evidence. Its going to be interesting how MLB handles disciplining the players who took part in this. Bregman is one of the biggest offenders. Its going to be comical if he wins the MVP award. His reputation is completely ruined and will be for the rest of his career.

What do you expect from a fanbase that called Lunhow a genious for acquiring a wife beater? Or how they gave Guerriel a standing ovation after his Darvish taunting and racist comments? They are the worst, not sure if its a geolocation thing or what.

We dont know what else they were doing. Obviously they arent banging trashcans and whistling on the road, but im sure they were exploring other options to cheat.

Yep this is where you get serious with suspensions to players and the FO. I wouldn't be opposed to having Hinch being banned from baseball, and seeing players who took part in it get some severe suspensions (60 days or more). I don't think losing draft picks is enough.

Its Rookie of the Year, not Rookie of the Years. Doesnt matter anyway, Alvarez will win by a landslide

Its just so tiring

That Chris Archer trade looks like an absolute turd. It would have been amazing if we gave them Rodon for those two.

I took that as back to twitter, not the club

Had to take a breather after typing that rant out. Im good now

He is becoming the best announcer in baseball. I know some people here disagree with that but if you go over to /r/baseball and mention him you will have tons of people from other teams comment about how good he is.

How are the defensive coaches still here? Capra (I think) has been working with Anderson and made him worse. During the season he was having him practice acrobatic throws, jump throws, and throws from sitting down. What Anderson wasn't working on was developing a solid fundamental base. The result was a putrid defensive season. Going back to the Semien discussion, the A's actually employed a defensive guru in Washington. Look what that did for Semien's performance and development! To those that say coaches don't matter I would suggest you look up what Ron Washington has done for his teams defensively. It is also so worrying how this organization discredits analytics. We could amass all the talent in the world but until we learn how to properly develop players and coach from rookie league to MLB we will ALWAYS be behind teams like the Astros, Yankees, Rays, A's, and Twins. They will supplement their teams on a yearly basis. Cooper needs to go as well but we all know that. Honestly it wouldn't matter who they replaced him with because its a rotten system. Hearing Cole and Verlander rave about how the Astros had them change their pitching just makes me so jealous because we are stuck with this org and outdated philosophy. Our ace pitcher had to return to his HIGH SCHOOL COACH to reach his full potential. How can we compete with teams that are in 2019 when we are stuck in 1985?

Zips BTFO

we need Leury and his 688 OPS in the leadoff spot getting the most atbats possible.

Vaughn for Pederson? Who hurt you?

Im more alarmed thisbis the norm in the minors. So so SO worried.

Does he have a HS pitching coach he can go back to?

Can someone tell Cordero he looks like a tool with his sleeve tucked in?
