Dave Stewart... LOL

[SoWhat]

Stewart’s speculation as to why, maybe, Shields may be willing to take less money to go to Arizona than he might elsewhere:

“I think James is a throwback guy by the way he goes about his business and the innings he pitches,” Stewart said. “I think the fact that Tony (La Russa) is here and that we have more baseball people – he probably sees us as a true baseball team vs. some of the other teams out here that are geared more toward analytics and those type of things.

“Sometimes, there are concessions the player will make to be here. It’s the case that he likes what we’re doing with our organization from our end, all we can hope is that there will be concessions enough that he can be here.”

Lol Poor Dback fans.

I thought them firing Towers was bad for the Angels. Now I'm not so sure.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

So the only true baseball team is the Arizona Diamondbacks. Got it. Maybe we should have hired Tony LaRussa so that we could be a real team, since there can only be one.

[ELEVEN]

Was expecting something about tranny hookers.

[Angel Oracle]

Or Annie Lennox

[ukyah]

put me squarely in the "those type of things" camp.

Throw the stats out the window. Throw the egos out the window. The Diamondbacks are here to win.  

[bloodbrother]

Yeah you have fun with that Arizona

 

Maybe Dipoto can convince Stewart that Josh Hamilton is a throwback kind of player

This guy is delusional. I can safely say that the D-bags are the worst run team in baseball. I still can't believe those chumps gave us Skaggs and Santiago for Trumbo.

I believe that Pujols is, too. Maybe even Wilson.

[laagamer]

From an old player like Stewart? I believe it. 

 

Sounds like Morgan or Mccarver during the playoffs about the A's.

[Docwaukee]

Troll Daddy's new favorite team is the Dbacks.

Just sing to Stewart about Hackilton..."Sweet dreams are made of this..."
