Keep in mind that at the beginning of his tenure, AA had a limited budget to work with, which may explain why he elected to take on players with character flaws - as there was perceived value there. There's obviously also a chance he undervalued strong leadership and team chemistry and has adjusted accordingly.
There is no answer to this people; however, IMO, talent wins and winning creates good chemistry.
The view from TV is better than any seat in the house if you want to "watch" the game. It's all about the atmosphere when you go to the game and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed for Game 1 of the ALDS. Don't overthink this one man...
Um - you get better views on TV than basically any seat in the house. I was Section 114 Row 2 last night and almost every pitch looks like a strike from there...
I guess you're there for the party - but if I'm sitting 500 level, I'm doing so solely for the atmosphere (view is awful). If you're in a hotel room, the view is awful and you're likely watching the game on TV a lot.......do you even get the atmosphere through the glass????
On the flip side - I don't think Cola racks up the golden sombrero last night either. Very surprised Gibby didn't pinch hit Cola after Smoak struck out 3 times and comes up with a runner on 3rd with 1 out.
Game 1, Game 2, off day, Game 3, Game 4, off day, Game 5 - can't you go Price on 3 days rest Game 4 and Stro on 4 days rest Game 5?...perhaps I have that schedule wrong...
Was anyone here for the Canada/US game at Rogers Centre? That 9th inning was amazing....best I've ever been to live. I suspect tonight will topple that with leaps and bounds.
