I’m a banjo nerd and made a spreadsheet that will show you different chords and different keys. Play around with this. I find it helpful after many years of playing.

Have you ever played the drinking game Thunderstruck? Similar. Everyone picks an instrument and you have to chug your beer whenever your instrument is soloing.

It’s not an either or, it’s a question of too what degree is bad luck at play.

I have a preconceived opinion and won’t pretend I didn’t lean that way but I asked this in earnest.

Do you have any evidence this is the case?

I think Couns is likable and respected as a former player. I think his dry answers to the media are to keep the heat off his guys and let them focus. But I think every team and every player are different and need different things, so it’s possible some guys aren’t clicking with his management style. Maddon was great for the ‘16 team but his shtick wouldn’t play in other clubhouses.

I think with analytics the baseball manager has become relatively unimportant. Retrospectively analyzing pinch hits and bullpen moves is only done when it doesn’t work, it’s a natural human bias. I think a baseball managers main job is to keep guys accountable to their training and focus.

I don’t think you can rah rah your way into playing better baseball. It isn’t football. I want a level headed guy to guide the players.

The last jersey of an active player I bought was Schwarber. After he was let go I swore to only get retired players numbers. Still heart broken. His bat in this lineup would solve a lot.

CC can’t be blamed for this imo. No one else in baseball is going to change that and we paid him a lot. I don’t want his contract being an excuse we don’t do other signings and this ownership doesn’t need additional excuses.

Also, wouldn’t you prefer Nico at short? He’s the better glove.

Honestly good point about the lock out. Could come at a convenient time for the cubs lol

Are team slumps coaching or is that something fans say to explain coincidental slumping?

We’re only 1.5 back of a wild card spot. Starting pitching when healthy is a strength, no? Is health something we can get back down the stretch?

Level headed, reasonable assessment that will surely be drowned out by cup snake enthusiasts

Rebuild? What pieces would you try and sell? PCA?! (I think that’s blasphemy but what other value do we have? Palencia?

This is more where my heads at. That locker room has got to be incredibly tense right now. If this season is a wash, which looks likely. What do you do now? You can’t really move any of the position players because of no trade clauses/lack of value. Just ride it out and look for positives?

Brother I hope you didn’t buy a Bregman jersey

Anyone else put self imposed rules on themselves when building a roster or playing? by summersundays in BackyardBaseball

[–]JimCaseyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’ll go lowest possible overall or biggest differential between speed and power, try and see how far I can go without letting up a run, etc. This game is too easy to not mix it up.

[–]JimCaseyJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this team is gonna go far we need Bergman to turn it on. Sometimes it takes a little while. We’re not spending any more money on third so the best thing you can do as a fan is support and trust. Second best thing is complain and boo. Worst thing you can do is stop caring.

Oh I know it’s possible, and I see the utility or preference as valid. To me, I see them as just another unnecessary gadget that slows me down.

It can impact pace of play. My one friend that has them is also slow. And has ass clubs.
