MLB 2025: The A's are Playing Where Now?

[BillJ]

Yeah, you no longer see managers coaching/managing the same team for 10-20 years. The last to do this was I think Tony La Russa.

But MLB is like any other big business.

All the power now resides with the GM and analytics department.

True, but also a lot of it actually got started back in the 1970's and 80's when owners like George Steinbrenner and Gussie Busch started getting involved in the day-to-day operations of the ball club. I mean Steinbrenner hired and then later fired Billy Martin like 4 or 5 times.

Rockies lost. Their record through 50 games is 8-42.

How about my Angels!!

7 straight wins, all on the road, sweeping the Dodgers and the A’s.

Maybe it wasn't Bud Black's fault after all.

If Strasburg is the worst contract of all time and Rendon is second, is Kris Bryant third? He's been terrible and injured since he's been there. 80 games was his season high. If he never plays again, the Rockies will have paid him almost $3 million per RBI.

Fucking Rendon.

Fucking Moreno.

The 2016 team will live forever but the Cubs dodged some bullets by not signing a few of those stars. Of course they took one in the back of the head with Schwarber.

Colorado's 8-42 is the worst start in the modern era. Prior to the modern era, the 1895 Louisville Colonels went 7-43.

Worse ownership? Pirates or Rockies?

 

[cardinal biggles]

It's a toss-up, honestly.

Reds.

The A's. And the commissioner waiving his relocation fee just reeks of corruption.

That will set a precedent for the future.
