    I see what you did there.

    How's Joane?

    Well... Maybe not a complete meathead but I'm not so sure he'd get it either. It's a weird situation. At no point, did he seem to understand what should be expected of a leadoff hitter. Pillar didn't even feign to try to be more patient. Can he understand why he failed when he wasn't even trying to do what he needed to to succeed?

    I got a lot of complaints about gbill. Part of the issue was that overall quality of discussion was so low that it made it hard to single him out. In his defense he did back down when he sensed that he had gone too far.

    As a mod, I don't have an ignore list. I do root for some posters to make it real easy for me to ban them.

    The GDT thread is a place to talk about the game that is currently on. That's it. Yes, some people are reactionary and stupid and though that's expected to some extent, it is not the purpose. Some people just like to have a space to discuss the game.

    It was but it seems like Goins used to make more of the tough plays.

    Error charged to Donaldson but Goins could have fielded that.

    I really wanted to see bad Porcello tonight.

    Something to keep it mind is that R.A. looked a lot worse than this last at the beginning of last year.
  13. KingKat
    The difficulties he creates for catchers is a deterrent. At some point, it's not going to feel worth it.

    The alternative is to have Cola face another righty.

    NBA Thread

    KingKat replied to admin's topic in Other Sports

    This is where baseball's traditionalism can be a good thing. A few years back, MLB planned a SpiderMan promotion with web imprints on the bases and they had to abandon it because fans though it was ********. I'm not saying it can never happen but MLB will probably be the last league to allow something like what the NBA just did.

    I think it goes beyond Pillar. There's a clubhouse hierarchy and Saunders has to prove himself to be a part of it. It's bizarre and stupid but I do think it's real. Pillar even though he's not very good has paid his dues vis-à-vis his teammates and that's true of Colabello too (a popular teammate coming off a productive if fluky season). Pillar's getting the gig is not so much to make him happy but because it's what the clubhouse probably wants and ditto to some extent for Colabello. Not every manager operates this way. Heck, Gibbons himself didn't used to operate this way but he's also never managed a playoff team before and maybe this is just a side of him we never saw before. I f***in' hate it. I think it's stupid. There are managers of good team who aren't afraid to enforce the platoon advantage, who don't care about seniority but that's not something you implement midstream.

    Shapiro didn't restructure the contract for nothing. Clearly he wants the freedom to can Gibby if he has to and really when you think about it, it would make sense to bring in a new guy when the post Bautista/EE era begins in 2017 but probably not so much right now unless things go quite poorly quite quickly.

    In the right hands that could easily turn into a creepy cyber-stalking account.

    Vanland is just upset because his hatred of Ju1ced keeps him from coming here but the old board where he remains is a wasteland that's lost its good posters.
  20. KingKat
    Vanland and Ju1ced\Admin don't get along, IIRC.
  21. KingKat
    I took that from what Admin said. Yeah he might be wrong about that too but that wasn't really my point. Let's just say any fan that's read or seen Moneyball could understand why Pillar hitting lead-off makes no sense.
  22. KingKat
    He put his foot down with Pillar in this stint and he was always a laid back guy 90% of the time. The main change I see is that he's less pro-active, less creative with on field stuff. He wasn't this rigid with roles before but that's probably at least partially a result of having a very different roster.
  23. KingKat
    Except what is his job exactly? Sure the average fan might see the error in his on field strategy but that's only part of his job. He's first and foremost a baby-sitter of egos. Now one doesn't exclude the other and yes it is frustrating to see him get very basic strategy wrong but that's not where his job begins and ends.
  24. KingKat
    Well he would have been on the team but the signature somewhat resembles Mark Eichorn's: http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/search2.php?Ntt=mark+eichorn

    Complicating matters is the fact that Jim Clancy wasn't on the '92 team and Dave Winfield was.
