Thanks. I was hoping it was somebody other than a team employee doing the lauding.

Citation needed.

Somebody on these boards was going to move his or her family to Nashville based on their failure to land Machado this past offseason. The aforementioned leaps pale in comparison.

I believe Gene Lamont was dismissed in the middle of the season to make room for the incomparable Terry Bevington.

Wasn't Jerry Manuel fired? Granted, it was over 15 years ago.

Tactics can be learned as a younger man. Can trailblazing new tactics really be learned in a very short amount of time by a man closing in on 60? If so what's he been waiting for this whole time?

They won the year before that particular trade. They haven’t won since that trade.

Didn’t they trade for Moncada and Jimenez?

You know Madrigal is hitting .250 in A ball. No home runs. Not many walks. I’m not sure it would improve if you moved him up sooner rather than later.

These guys should really put a gag order on themselves. I am honestly embarrassed for him after reading this article.

I forgot a couple of those names. Maybe Dale Sveum can be their next manager.

I’ll never forget the additions of Steve Carlton and George Foster. What great memories.

Hilarious.

A great scene in a great movie that opened my eyes as a young man. Thanks for posting.

That game was June 7, 2014. https://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/batter_vs_pitcher.cgi?batter=troutmi01&pitcher=salech01

Apparently. You've convinced me.

Are you going to quote half of a sentence? Or visit my profile again?

Based on your recent posts today in this thread it is certainly in character for you to read only half of a sentence.

I concur. I am often confused when mods cite statistics incorrectly. My error. You've convinced me based on your modified definition of the statistic that the umpires are out to screw a guy who has never had a problem with the umpires. Very well reasoned.

I must be confused. I thought the stat said "on the edges or outside". Unless 100% of those pitches are fully outside that does not make all 38 of those pitches bad calls. You quoted the statistic, you should actually read it's definition.

That's not actually the statistic. You're ignoring half of it's definition.
