Harold's Leg Lift

It's pretty bad.

Would you rather see the entire pitching staff revolt?

Hearing this is close to a done deal.

They're desperately trying to resign McCann. I don't think they'll trade Grandal but McCann will get the lion share of the starts behind the plate if they're able to bring him back.

It's the cry of the fanboy.

It went well.

Every member of that scumbag Astros organization should have received a lifetime ban.

Elite defender Danny Mendick.

Shocking.

Dan O'Dowd said it best on MLB Network the other day. He said the current market inefficiency is wisdom. He said there is plenty of "knowledge" in the game but a severe lack of wisdom and teams should start hiring these guys that other teams have kicked to the curb. I couldn't agree more.

They're trying like all hell to resign him.

No but it should be. Plausible deniability.

I don't want Hinch for lots of reasons. I haven't heard Francona's name as a possibility but if he is that choice is a win/win.

Your comment: I think he'll be good. He'll run the bullpen correctly, play the guys who are supposed to play and hit guys where they're supposed to hit. Pretty simple. I do think he'll be good but I also said he comes with too much baggage. The guy I think they should hire is Bochy.

Where did I say I wanted LaRussa?

Hahn wants a guy he can control. He wants a yes man. That's all Hinch would be. A suit dressed as a manager.

It's not a rumor.

It's not.

I'm not the least bit surprised. Fans can talk themselves into anything.

If he were truly against it (he wasn't) he could have started by not being a smug dickbag when questioned about it. He could have refused to answer the questions or given non-answers which would have led to more questions and possibly an investigation which he would have wanted if he was really against it (he wasn't). He handeled the situation in the worst possible way it could have been handeled. He's a weasel.

Jack Leiter was F 93-97 cb 77-79 sl 82-84 today. He's my top guy in the draft.

I love Crochet as much as anyone but trusting a guy with 6 professional innings in an elimiantion playoff game is not a good plan. And game 3 was just the straw that broke the camels back. There were lots of bad decisions leading up to that.

Renteria wasn't making those decisions. It was Hahn.
