    In regards to just selecting a person for one of the top jobs, does baseball have an equivalent to NFL's Rooney rule yet?
  2. jimmer
    Not sure I follow that logic. A team can only carry so many players and if you're right about so many former Texas players being on other teams, that would speak to their ability to discover and develop talent, which would be why teams would want those players to begin with.

    Bremer is absolutely horrible. I can't believe ANYONE thinks he still belongs in the booth if he ever did to begin with. As a team, they are likely the least prepared I've ever listened to and they can't fact check at all. There are only 30 broadcast teams. Only the best should occupy those booths and there are few worse than our normal combo.

    Why do you bother? ;-)
  5. jimmer
    Well, prior to this year he's been a corner OF with little power, so he must not be valuable because corner OFs need to be all offense and no defense to be valuable. It's always been that way. Now get your kids off my lawn!:-)
  6. jimmer
    yeah, I'm not worried about him. Even if he gets back to being even a league average offensive player, he'll still be very valuable with that defense.
  7. jimmer
    I got ripped for questioning his signing due to the extremely weak competition he played against in H School.

    Hank Aaron talking about how Big Papi has done it the right way his whole career. I guess PEDs is the right way.

    Loved that game last night. I hope Sid stays watching hockey and ignores baseball :-)

    Ryan has made it clear over the years that corner OF is basically the least important thing for a team. One of many reasons why I'm glad he's gone. Defense is important at every position and punting defense shouldn't be something a team does so easily.

    Or like Cameron said yesterday: 'I think it’s mostly confirmation bias. There’s been a vocal anti-Heyward crowd for years because they didn’t like the idea that a corner outfielder with average power could be an elite player. So now that he’s struggling, they’re just saying “I told you so” rather than looking at his performance objectively.'

    The Broadcast team has been going through the motions, kind of like the FO and team did this decade :-)

    I'm not sure it's unreal. Ridiculous maybe, but not unreal :-) As you know, it's not like WAR continued to say that he was a 5-6 WAR player this year regardless of his horrible season at the plate. He went from a wRC+ of 120 last year to 72 this year and his WAR dropped over 4 points. His defense was still awesome, but his offense was horrible and his WAR this year reflected that.

    Yeah, I think Seager will be better and likely finish 2nd this year to Bryant for MVP. I'm a big fan of Correa, but Seager might very well end up better.
  15. jimmer
    yeah, I think you know what he meant :-)
  16. jimmer
    Looks like the first round gem of that draft went 18th. I know, it's not possible for that to happen, but that looks to be the case.
  17. jimmer
    They should have just started this game at like 5 P.M. EST.
  18. jimmer
    Was the Cubs starting lineup tonight the youngest lineup in W Series history?
  19. jimmer
    As long as we're getting a POBO, a new GM and maybe a new AGM, it'd be nice to get a completely new TV Broadcast team too. Maybe a team that doesn't make people want to mute the TV or look for the opposing team's broadcast.
  20. jimmer
    How many times was GMintraining allowed to vote? :-)

    Hammell is getting paid 10M. Most teams can afford that, Cubs aren't the only ones. With the offense this team has (3rd best in baseball even without Schwarber) and defense this team plays (best in baseball, easily), I'd take my chances with Hendricks (ERA leader), Hammell, Arrieta (former CY Young winner), Montgomery and Cahill. Certainly teams with much worst rotations and offense, have won W Series. Last year, for example. Certainly a team with such a great offensive and defense wouldn't become super weak without Lackey and Lester. Perhaps having players like Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, Baez, Contreras, Fowler help along with having a great manager. They won all those games without even the benefit of having Schwarber.

    His walk rate in 2015 was awesome as a starter, the 2nd best of any starter. May was doing excellent as a STARTER before his undeserved demotion to the pen. Team jerking him around probably ruined him, health-wise. Hopefully he comes back and our new POBO and GM won't be maroons, like the GM we had going into this past season was, and they actually make him a starter again.

    Last year they won the 3rd most games in baseball (even though they had to play in the division that had the best and 2nd best records)and their payroll was well within what the Twins could spend if they chose to. And the core of this team is young, deep and inexpensive and were brought to the team by means other than FA signings. The expensive players (the whopping 4 getting more 11M or more a year) aren't making this a playoff team, it would be a playoff team without them. A couple of the expensive players are making it an elite team. Of the four who get over 11M a year, one of them is a position player who has severely under-performed and didn't start last night (nor will tonight). Another is a catcher who has hit horribly this year. The other two are pitchers that have been very good, that's for sure. Without those two maybe they only win 94 games.

    The Cubs batters were patient. Pitches Miller would get other teams to swing at, the Cubs weren't. It didn't work out for the Cubs obviously, but Miller's strength is that he throws a lot of pitches that are close to the zone or look like they are in the zone when they aren't. If batters can have patience. and really only swing at strikes (easier said than done, cause he's wicked) a team can have success.
  25. jimmer
    Well, he certainly has a lot of time as assistant GM.
