  1. You can make argument both ways and show examples. Walter Alston played in majors (1 game 1 AB), Joe Maddon had success never played in majors. I just do not want a recycled manager. I would prefer someone new that has put his time in minors and majors as manager and coach.
  2. Linares has managed in minors. Good with young players and has worked with successful organizations.
  3. Maybe a different team will be good for Walsh. I dee him signing a minor league deal with Pirates. I wish him well.
  4. Many are thinking that about Trout. This winter may see if he is thinking that.
  5. In WW2 many women served in combat. Read about the night witches and how many missions they flew.
  6. I thought off season moves were good. I also thought trying to win before deadline was good. It just turned out so bad after and as we look back a missed opportunity going forward.
  7. I was talking to hubs, why are you so upset. Joke may be funny to you and that's fine. Humor is subjective some will think it's funny others not.
  8. I'm old school Hubs but I agree with you 100%. Women for years have taken abusive language at their work place.
  9. Well not anyone but most could. Let's see opposing team brings in a left handed pitcher and Moniak is due up. Taylor Ward is on the bench what should manager do? It's bottom 8th and game is tied.
  10. Let's face it you do not have to be an Ivy league school graduate to be a baseball manager. You fill out a lineup card and players take the field and play. Teams rarely bunt but anymore or hit and run. Pitching coaches take care of pitchers and batting coaches the hitters. Bullpen coach takes care of BP. After 90 to a 100 pitches manager takes out pitcher or if it's third time thru the batting order. Managers do interview after game, yeah, we played well, and his slider was working tonight. What really does a manager do that is so hard. Anyone on AW could do these things. Managers in baseball are overrated.
  11. Thankful for all inciteful information from Swordsman.
  12. Remember when he pitched WBC pitchers were ahead of hitters that time of year. Plus he will sign on east coast Yankees, Miami, Tampa would be my guesses.
  13. I get lot of halo news here. Many great analysis and facts. I also listen to Rodger Lodge to get his upbeat report on halos.
  14. Been with 2 good organizations plus big help with young players. Sign him.
  15. Angels not in Dodgers out season over for me. Like most waiting for FA to start.
  16. We need to sign Rodney Linares from Houston to be manager.
  17. Turner Only played 7 games at 3B 17 at 1B mostly was DH. Rendon will be 3B and DH Trout and Rendon. Keep Rengifo and Drury unless doing some kind of rebuild then trade Drury in off season.
  18. Will be the same this off season as last few years. Big names Ohtani, Bellinger, Nola, Snell, Hader, Nola, Gray among others will be gone. Come early January all the talk will switch to Lorenzen and Giolito types.
  19. Many D-Back fans in Orange County, after they beat the Dodgers.
  20. Bellinger is not signing with Angels. Top FA pitchers are not signing with Angels. Giolito and Lorenzen are type that might come here. Again no way Bellinger is signing with halos. When all winter you hear Minasian has talked to Bellinger do not get your hopes up.
