And Dansby is from ATL too. I think it’s hilarious a NYY beat writer would ask that, as if the Braves haven’t been just as successful as the Yankees over the past 20 years.

But the people who don’t care about baseball aren’t going to watch a playoff game anyway. The casual baseball fan who might prefer the NFL would still likely choose to tune into a MLB playoff game. Talking about the games that are not on ESPN, MNF just isn’t that big a deal anymore, especially...

Fine on 163. But who cares about MNF? It’s not relevant anymore to people who are going to watch baseball in the first place.

We’re only getting two games today. Here’s an idea: 2 games Thursday, 4 games Friday, 2 Saturday, etc. An off-day after one game with no travel is idiotic. Also, there should be no off-days for the Wild Card round teams unless they sweep the series. Play it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

MLB postseason scheduling is so fucking dumb. Zero reason there should be off-days with no travel.

Maybe. I know he sucks a little of my life force away everytime I watch him manage a close game.

Because Fangraphs values framing exponentially, and it’s built into their defensive WAR.

Shooter McGavin?

Fuck yeah, Teoscar.

Has Betts ever done anything in the playoffs?

Agreed.

I think I’ll pass on a manager who gets in fights with his players.

Walt Weiss is not going to be the next manager of the Braves.

There was no nuance back then in those discussions. Sure, strikeouts are the same as other outs, and preferable to multi-out plays, but they do matter in terms of hitter evaluation. Back then, the sabermetrics proponents wrote off strike outs completely (at least those on the board).

He’s going to be the bench coach here.

Shanks is such a douche bag idiot. He took one sentence (which, granted, was strangely worded by Bowman) and tried to use that as proof that McGuirik forced Snitker out. If you read the entire article it doesn’t paint that picture at all.

I really wish we could have gotten some of these peoples’ reaction and commentary during the World Series run.

SAV kept acting like we were going to get Mike Adams to come out of retirement when he first started this board.
