Y'all can probably guess which group of people my post was targeted at.
Interesting, given how so much of the general complaining here is based on 1 or 2 day sample sizes. "He a HR yesterday and now he's on the bench...
For all the b****ing about Mancini needing to play over Gurriel: Last 30 days: Gurriel: .282 BA, .693 OPS Mancini: .205 BA, .675 OPS Gurriel is...
You might be the last person in the world to use batting average to measure a hitter. But yes, even by batting average, 0.290 is worse than July...
You know every playoff opponent now is going to go nuts with fireworks all game long. Strike call? Firework! Ball call? Firework!
Fair enough. I'm sure you were just innocently asking Dusty why a random player from another team that he doesn't manage doesn't get rested.
He played 160 last year too - and September/October were his worst months. This year, he has gotten progressively worse since June. This is what...
Seems like a pretty monumental shift in the sports landscape to have NO Big10 football on ABC/ESPN.
If he wasn't, the Astros wouldn't have been able to sign him for $4MM... Same tradeoff that let the Astros sign Lance McCullers.
His decisions in 2017 were just as impactful...

I would point to an entire industry of regular people buying up properties to rent out as AirBNBs. That requires a hell of lot more investment...
If you could theoretically buy an asset for $75k and make $30k/yr return on it, why wouldn't tons of people do it?
ALCS has 5 straight games in Games 3-7 - that's interesting and new and changes some of the pitching dynamics. A 5th starter is actually useful.
I'm not really concerned with those critiques. But there are also things like "Dusty can never win anything" and "the team wins despite Dusty"...
And yet, the numbers repeatedly show at every stop that hiring Dusty and letting him be Dusty leads teams to be better. So by that standard, not...
Why do you think him picking bright lights instead of money is "seeing the light"? People say this every year about players. People criticized...
All of that is fine - and I don't have a problem with him getting fired. My point is that he doesn't make his teams worse and they don't win...
