Hmm. Good question. I’m not sure I believe a manager is all that important. They’re a genius if a decision pans out, an idiot if their players fail to execute. A job I wouldn’t trade to have.

So I guess those very average Giants teams and the Rangers didn’t need Bochy pulling all the strings. Rangers were not very good and they all the sudden win in Year 1. Tennessee baseball was in the wilderness for several years until Tony came along. People really underestimate what true leadership can do for a program/franchise. But yeah I guess managers don’t matter.

I'm just really baffled and left scratching my head in unbelief right now.
I posted earlier my "smart TV" was acting stupid again which it definitely was.
I woke up at 9:15 CT & thought I'd turn the TV on. It came on but not to watch TV. It went back to "set up" mode again like its brand new & just out of the box. Couldn't get Spectrum cable to work right at first. Played w/it w/all kinds of different combinations to work like normal programming. Worked w/it until about 10 am CT & said F this crap.
I go back there to take my BP meds at 1 pm CT & turned the TV on & set it to Spectrum cable again and my TV set comes on like it was supposed to do 3 hrs ago. I just threw up my hands and said "well, alright I guess". Its a crazy world. 🤔

I good check would be to lurk 👀 the Tigers site about now. I can damn near guarantee they are wanting Hinch tarred and feathered about now. 🤣

It’s the nature of the Beisbol beast…

MLB seems to think it was legitimate. No asterisk. No vacating of wins. We did lose a GM and Manager, but the organization maintained and won another in ‘22. Not to linger.

Everyone else that isn’t an Astros fan knows that organization should have been burned to the ground. It’s only left alone because dumbass Manfred gave immunity. If he weren’t so gullible he could have done an investigation, stripped them of their title and suspended every player involved for at least 1 season, if not a lifetime ban. It’s alright, y’all couldn’t even beat one of the worst division winners in an 88-win Braves team without their MVP. Congrats on beating that overrated jackass Bryce Harper 🤙

Dodgers should have won that first World Series the Trashtros won and everyone knows it. If they didn’t know the pitches that were coming they wouldn’t have even made the World Series, let alone win it. I might hate the Dodgers and don’t agree with the loopholes they’ve found but at least they aren’t breaking any rules. What the Trashtros did was worse than what any organization has ever done in the history of the sport. If the Braves did something like that I would have burned any World Series merch I had gotten. It wasn’t earned and you know it. Stop lying to yourself.
