2020 MLB Season Baseball • Page 64

Already asked to leave work early tomorrow

 

I'm fine with the early start b/c I have a terrific night of sports binge ahead of me

 

it’s the :02 that’s fucking with me. 5 minutes after the hour is so standard like wtf

 

Personally, I don't want Girardi, if for no other reason than people will always compare his tenure to when he was with the Yankees, and I just feel like it will always be a constant distraction. I also heard that Maddon was almost certainly going to be the Angels' next coach.

In regard to Mickey, honestly, I think he was awful. He never ever ever at any point seemed to have any grasp on what he was doing. It really felt like he was guessing the entire time, sometimes it worked, most times it didn't. He just is not a professional manager. He made enough bad decisions and questionable bullpen calls (which is even worse because he WAS a pitching coach) to take blame for more than a handful of losses.

Looking forward to seeing where the hunt goes, and what candidates emerge. I still for one would like to see Robin Ventura get another managerial shot.

 

I’d be fine with Ventura. Whoever it is I want them to have experience and have proven that they can manage a team well. I see a lot of people saying they want Beltran to be manager, but I’d prefer not to have someone leap from player to manager.

 

Good lineup, wise to sit Carp vs. Keuchel. Also wise to leave Bader in there vs a lefty

 

Yeah I’m fine with it. Although I thought they’d have Dex in center, Ed in RF and carp at third based on the chatter this week.

 

I bet we see that game 2

 

Ready for this game. Feeling good about Keuchel tonight. Hoping for 5 strong innings.

 

Firing Mickey and replacing him with another 1st time manager seem kinda stupid though. I blame this season 80% on brodie, 20% mickey

I would loveeeee Maddon but I hear that's not happening.

 

Hinch is so good at this shit, really keeps the team grounded

 

Berrios vs Paxton game 1.

 

Seriously. Fuck this 4pm start.

 

Cards in 4
Dodgers in 5
Yanks in 3
Astros in 4

 

Atlanta in 5
Walgreens in 4
New York in 5
Houston in 4

 

I say this every year, but it's so ridiculous that MLB can't figure out a way to make all the playoff games at night. It's ridiculous that there are playoff games in the middle of the week as early as 2 p.m. It's not even a problem with the first round either...the ALCS/NLCS will also have games at like, 4.

 

If the A’s won yesterday the game would’ve started at 11am their time hah

 

Wow that's funny because some people call in every year and wish there were more day games in the post season

 

Cards in 5
Nats in 5
Yankees in 5
Astros in 5

 

Cards in 5
Dodgers in 4
Yankees in 5
Astros in 5

 

Barves in 5
Nats in 5
Yanks in 4
Stros in 4

 

LETS GOOOO

 

Btw there's no reason for me to think the cards will win. The braves are great. But the cardinals defy logic all the time. Dont really love any aspect of their roster. Predicted they would've fallen out of the WILD CARD race months ago. And yeah

But they're the cardinals. They find a way.
