Wow, that’s very surprising to me.

Couldn’t even win 18 games in a row.

Slackers. No leadership, obviously.

Dusty was born to manage the Cardinals. It is his destiny.

Bloodletting in NY begins:
Thames (hitting coach)
Pilittere (asst hitting coach)
Nevin (3B coach)

Dave Roberts has decided to use Cory Knebel as an opener tonight, then bring in Urias. I sure hope it backfires.

Was there any mention of old emails or twitter posts?

It’s certainly being cute. Urias pitched on Saturday night, so he is on full rest for this game. I hope the Giants knock the Dodgers out tonight, too.

I heard on MLB Tonight that it was an Andrew Friedman decision because of the Giants potentially having their first 7 hitters batting RH. The Giants still haven’t announced their lineup.

Lol. It’s funny that Urias won 20 games with a sub 3.00 ERA, but the Dodgers want to use an opener because the Giants might run 7 right-handed hitters at him in a row to start the game. File this under when analytics go too far.

Yankees re-upped Boone through 2024.

I’m sure that won’t cause a riot in the asylum

Good news for Yankee haters.

Cards are naming Oliver Marmol (not Carlos) manager. He was their bench coach under Shildt. Just 35 years old.

“Nice Marmol”

Cody Belinger got paid $16.1MM this year and batted .165. Fuck the Dodgers who only get to watch the World Series.
