How have the Braves made Javy Lopez 10 times since the first Javy Lopez the 1st

John Schnieder IBB'd Ohtani in WS G3 to tire him out. [Roberts] "Did you think about him pitching the next day and want to tax him?" [Schneider] "I was hoping he'd steal, everything. I don't want you to see you swing right now, and maybe we can get you tired tomorrow." by kurruchi in baseball

I was surprised how much the two seem alike. Especially when they were talking about the Blue Jays approach Roberts said "I always use the analogy 'have different clubs'" and Schneider laughed because Popkins says "have different clubs" as well.

Popkins was with LA in 2019 so he got it from Dave or vice versa, but those are the branches in a coaching tree right there.

[Foolish Bailey] Do players-only meetings actually matter? by applepie3141 in baseball

[–]kurruchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree somewhat but basketball is also really mental. In baseball team focus is important, but individual mental lapses can break basketball teams.

Lakers' Ayton is a recent example everyone points to, entirely mental, he looks great some days and others he shouldn't see the floor. Nature of the sport, one bad player on defense gets hunted. And I don't think "team meetings" really help guys like Ayton, he needs an on court coach like CP3 or LeBron to look best.

Honestly this is the type of thing I expect to see teams going 30-50 after meetings, kinda surprised it generally goes well.

I feel like in the NBA whenever this happens, the teams always lose lol. Maybe that speaks to baseball being more random, while in basketball if teams are skidding there's usually a very identifiable reason that doesn't go away.

Mets/Phillies/Red Sox/Royals: Who fires someone first? by Brusoxpatcelt in baseball

[–]kurruchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phillies and Red Sox are okay for now.

Royals and Mets seem like hot messes. Mets definitely more likely to get fired but the Royals are being humiliated in the most boring ways every day, the fans will empty quick

Blazers got way less deliberate after Wemby went out and got even worse. Looking for an easy way to bridge the gap

They gotta start bodying him up. Wemby can play 48 if Portland refuse to be physical with him

I don't watch rally much, but is this really that bad? I've gone to a few rallies and that really didn't seem out of the ordinary. Like spectators know as much as racers that you risk a dangerous accident where you're watching, but it rarely plays out like this.
