... then maybe your statement is dumb. So a team with 8 Yordan Alvarez's offensively and one Jake Meyers would be terrible, since you're only as...
But next time he goes 0-4, people will ask why Vasquez isn't playing more.
If you're only as strong as your weakest link, and the Astros have the best record in the AL, then ...
The new apparently more-concerned replacement manager who had control of the team didn't do so well. Maybe showing concern or "controlling the...
Yeah, they "had to fire him" because the owner got impatient. According to the article, they fired him because (a) he didn't stop a player from...
Yeah - I've never commented about him being a great manager, and I'm on record as opposing his hiring. But the data shows his teams do better...

MLB is set up no differently than the NBA or NHL or March Madness or most any other sport except the NFL.
It's funny to look back on this thread starting here: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/any-news-on-verlander.312321/page-6#post-13736617 And...
Andy Reid won his first SB in his 21st year. Dusty is in his 25th season. Other random Dusty stats: 1992 SF Giants 72-90 Dusty Hired 1993 SF...
What is an example of a city that does your ideal transportation model well?
