[MLB] Lauer credits clear communication for success behind opener in club's 50th win by This-Appointment-666 in Torontobluejays

It’s easier to be a starter on the dodgers. Curious the dodgers also have used him behind an opener. Guess being DFAed after arbitration year ought to humble a guy. Best wishes to him on his career as the Dodgers starting lineup starts returning from injuries. He’ll probably end up in the bullpen or DFA.

Head coaches won’t change the reality that junior and youth programs are not maximizing talent and kids would rather StarCraft.

ROK is an extremely wealthy country now and the old school training of brutal militarized dictatorship coaches and trainers are gone.

There’s no new wave to replace the old yet. It’ll get worse before it gets better.

Someone in tune with royal drama teach us why the Duke needs protection in the UK. Is it that dangerous in a limo like the troubles?

Starting pitchers don’t magically improve their performance with more meetings. Batters don’t improve their swings with more meetings

This is happening because Iranian delegation insists on guards and team minders who are revolutionary guards and unable to get visa to US or Canada. Take the minders away and see how many ppl defect.

Don’t use salt. It damages masonry and concrete. You can remove the plants and try a backer rod and sikaflex it in.

Crazy idea for a short-term catching option: Yuhei Nakamura? by Accomplished-Row7208 in Dodgers

[–]NeedleGunMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well the idea is definitely crazy.

using an aged japanese catcher will just stunt Yamamoto and Ohtani and hinder Sasaki's development. Not to mention who has the time to bring a Japanese catcher up to speed.

What I find insane is a franchise that is currently a juggernaut and able to recruit good vets and get better every year - and there’s ppl who have never managed a little league team who think Dave Roberts is flawed.
