He was ... already on the sox for the last few years. Yeah bmags. He was. This one is a head scratcher. Not sure what Bruce is reporting here. Not sure what the sox are doing with Dave either. His health isn't the best anymore.

October 28, 20205 yr 41 minutes ago, bmags said: Yes it is weird that the losing organizations hire them isn't it. Must be a total coincidence. What about the analytic coaches that did not make the World Series? Why did they not make it? Joe Maddon was listed in 2016, why did he not make the WS this year? Why did Francona not make it this year?

October 28, 20205 yr Well, pretty sure Tony wouldn't have pulled Blake Snell like that yesterday, so he's got that going for him. *** haha sorry. Not caught up. I was going to make a joke, but then looking up like 2 posts, well peoples undies are in a bunch so... sorry! Edited October 28, 20205 yr by turnin' two

The most important thing is you must have talent. Tampa Bay and Oakland are great stories of being frugal and winning. But neither has won a title with their strategy.

October 28, 20205 yr Analytics are great for big picture stuff. That is what they are. Numbers that play out over a large sample size. Trying to boil that down to make it work in a one game situation is a misuse of the data.

Managers alone win world series.

The most important thing is you must have talent. Tampa Bay and Oakland are great stories of being frugal and winning. But neither has won a title with their strategy. A manager doesn't need to be Abner Doubleday in order to make out reasonable lineup cards and the percentage in-game moves. He even has a buddy sitting next to him to think it over with. Managers who go against the odds sometimes win a game or two...but the odds finally catch up with them.
October 28, 20205 yr Anyone know TLR's take on batflips? The Sox are having a TA batflip bobblehead day next year, that style of play and flare is a signature of this team.
October 28, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, Orlando said: He’s tweeting off what was reported earlier today. Nothing new here.
October 28, 20205 yr It’s the 5 o’clock hour and still no leaks that indicate that TLR will be named the manager today per LB’s tweet...lol Edited October 28, 20205 yr by maloney.adam

Rickey Henderson had some nice bat flips.He hated LaRussa, and I think LaRussa hated him, but he put him in the line up and Rickey was pretty great.
