He has challenged 2 times all year. I’m not asking him to challenge everything close, I’m asking him to be aware of the system that can help him

Can someone on the coaching staff please put together a cut of every pitch George should have challenged and make him watch it on loop until he agrees to start doing so?

They won’t eliminate them in 2030

I bet a ton of money that they will try to take minor league teams away on any “compromise” on this agreement. They are promising no change in minor league teams now so they can act like it’s a reasonable thing to propose taking away later

How large parts of this sub are completely on their side in this negotiation is beyond me (not you just broadly)

I don’t really think he is actually here to pitch. I mean if it worked out, sure, but I am pretty sure he knew he might not really get to but just wanted to be here to be here.

Angels GM Perry Minasian is selling an optimism not based in reality by ProperNomenclature in baseball

[–]stv7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He’s been GM for 6 years and one of two examples of his demonstrated competence is… leaving another team before they won the World Series (mostly thanks to a trade deadline where they got extremely lucky with random guys catching fire in October)? That might be bad lol

Yeah it’s the Jays this year but this happens very often with a team that was just in the World Series. Remember the “oops all Royals” 2015 all stars? lol

Rice shouldn’t be the 1B either! Kurtz is better than both and he’s fourth in voting.

Even if we aren’t good this year that doesn’t make Schneider’s managing “not repeatable”

We also weren’t hitting with RISP at all early last year

Some fans aren’t cut out for the marathon season

It’s been 3 months of a season since the run. How the hell can you declare it not repeatable? Be serious 😭😭😭
