Firing managers is maybe the most overrated and insignificant change a pro baseball team can make. It's always gonna come down to the players. Bringing in somebody other than Mattingly is going to be of miniscule impact. But alas.
Wonder who they replace him with. |
Wonder where he will end up.
|
Maybe Boston could bring him on as starting dh

Lol. Whoever it is will likely have to be very much like Maddon and Hurdle, taking input and guidance from a very well informed, analytical based front office. Can't imagine too many veteran managers are gonna wanna be told what and how to things from guys who've "never done it".

Serious post this time - You're correct. Andrew Friedman will pick a guy that fits that description. My only question is that, unlike the Theo/Cubs situation, he already has a stocked roster with vets and millionaire players. While they have fat they could trim, they aren't in a rebuild phase, right? Normally I would say he's going to find a bench coach ready to step up (Mike Maddux, Dave Martinez, Sandy Alomar, the usual names that come up), but it seems like alot for a first time manager. Gardenhire? Sciosia?
|
Realized Dylan Bundy is going to be out of options. I feel old.
|
Scioscia isn't going anywhere. He thinks he's a genius and that front office with a dense, stubborn, dinosaur of a manager won't fit.

:lol: Jays player wondering why the out call wasn't made at first base. Royals batter might have had a chance to reach 2nd base if he didn't point to where the ball actually was.
|
Bautistabomb!!!!!!!!!
|
Madson walks alone....
|
Joey friggen Bats.
|
Royals games don't start until the 8th inning.
|
Drop a bunt son.
|
Too late with 2 strikes.
|
Irrelevant now. Wow.
|
wow ump get your eyes examined once its out of the royals ass.
|
Revere should have given the ump shit for that. It's the World Series on the line.
|
Jays had a chance to win that one. Man on third with no out and you can't get him in. Unbelievable.
|
AMERICA!!!!!!!

Can't take anything away from the Royals being killer, but I will not understand the 2-1 call on Rever. It may as well have been a pitch out. He got jobbed.
|
<font color=goldenrod>Well...the Royals bullpen actually looked somewhat human tonight with Madson giving up the game-tying bomb and Davis very nearly blowing it (admittedly with a 1 hour layoff between pitches, but still).
Problem is that doesn't happen very often. Mets will need to stick to the script of the NLCS and pounce on the starters early. I want no part of that Royals bullpen while trailing.</font> |
<font color=goldenrod>Waiting to see how the Mets line up their rotation and who gets Game 1. deGrom has been their ace all season, Harvey would be the most in line for regular rest, and Syndergaard probably has the best pure stuff out of all of them. There really isn't a wrong choice in there. So glad those guys are going to get to pitch on the biggest stage there is.
Should be a really fun series. Hopefully my Mets can pull it out but if they don't there's no shame, the Royals are a complete team.</font> |

Goes to show that MLB, the NBA, and NHL don't want any team coming from Canada to make the playoffs, unless it's to be the prison bitch of the U.S. franchises.
To the fans of the Mets and Royals, you can take all the MLB trophies and shove them up all your asses. Nice to know that the changes the 3 leagues above made to keep the Canadian teams getting weak, stupid players pays off for the corporate profits of the U.S. franchises, and leaving teams like the Jays, and Toronto's sports bars, in financial debt. To me, the 2015 MLB season is over, with the Commissioner's Trophy vacated. > = ( |
Lol maybe the dumbest post in the thread.
|
Ah well
|
Lol there is no way that guy is a real person
zeeboe-esque levels of tryhard |
Lol Ronic is one of my favourite posters. We need a Gary Bettman rant from him.

I want Canada's 2-decade long+ pro sports title drought in the NHL, NBA, and MLB to end, no matter nothing, and to me, if it means using the tactics of 'beatin' and cheatin', so be it.

you keep doing you, bro

I think the CFL should have an invasion angle and have an American team win it. That would be i-ronic wouldn't it?
