He’s an incredible intelligent guy that’s done a great job with two historic franchises but let’s not pretend like he took over the Padres and took them to the promise land.

Funny the light the Cubs were viewed in before the WS victory and now. Cubs were viewed as just as big of a joke of a franchise as the alleged padres before the 3 straight nlcs appearances and WS victory.

Come on now, even though they had never won a World Series, they were still more successful than the Padres by a long shot and viewed as such. Even though the Padres have made the World Series twice, they only have 14 winning seasons ever.
i wasnt able to watch the game last night and haven't looked into this myself yet...but i ready that Kapler pulled his pitcher without having a reliever warmed up in the pen yet...so the ump gave the pitcher more pitches than the normal warmup pitches which got Snitker hot and ejected. is that correct? That the man pulled his pitcher with no one ready in the pen?

I didn't watch either (Thanks, Michigan basketball!). I read the same thing. Wish there was a game tonight for him to mismanage. I'd watch that on my iPad while Mrs. Goblue and Little Blue watch the women's final.

Cubs have won world series previous to few yrs ago, unless your talking about the padres in that sentence

Yeah that is what happened. Then when he realized that his pitcher wasn't warm he went out on the field and tried to stall. That is when Snitiker got pissed off because of the new pace of play rules you can't do that. To give you an idea of how unprepared the reliever was, even after all of that he only got 6 warmup pitches.
After the game, the ump said he basically had to protect the reliever from getting hurt.

See You Next Wednesday
His lone year of minors coaching doesn't look great with a record of 58-81 for the Sawks Single-A affiliate in 07, according to
So not a sterling track record. But with how baseball is moving more towards analytics, doesn't surprise me the Phillies went to the extreme in this regard.

Anyone with any sense knew they were tanking to rebuild, just like the Astros did and had had some success prior to that rebuild. The Padres, on the other hand, have been in a constant state of rebuild/“at least we aren’t the Chargers”/“these guys will get us a good Red Sox or Yankees prospect” where coming close to .500 is considered a smashing success for two decades now.
If, and it’s a huge if, all of the talent AJ Preller has managed to obtain over the past five years makes it to the show there might actually be a reason to go to games in Sun Diego after the trade deadline. But hey - at least Hodad’s is finally at Petco and James Shields is gone!

I wouldn't start counting till after the first inning. But that's just me.
Crazy the only runs came off the two best pitchers.
even crazier that they only scored 2 runs in 4 games and went 2-2.
Twins up 7-0 in the 9th...they play shift...Oriole batter bunts to beat shift......Twins get upset
dumbest shit i've ever read. You're gonna play a shift and get upset when a guy bunts to beat it and get on base because its "not good for the game"? lol

Any time Brian "State's Rights/3 Nails and 1 Cross = 4 Given" Dozier is policing the game of baseball it's over.
because they were late for their dinner reservations

A-1 From Day 1
The best part is the Twins did the same exact thing earlier in the game lol

Big up to Brian Dozier
1st inning errors made newcombs debut worse than it shoulda been. Dude prolly isn't a part of the future anyways, but oh well. Good arm, good stuff.......no idea where its going.

I get mad more players don't do this. When Jay Bruce was a red they would move the entire team to the right side and hed still pull it. Lay down a bunt you egotistical jackass
he prolly doesn't know how

I've always wondered if that was the case

Managing Ohtani in fantasy is already a nightmare. Couldn't figure out if he was going to bat last night, appatently he isn't hitting the day after pitching? Babe my ass.
