How was Helsley overused? I mean, they did bring him in to be the closer, right? And I think people are kinda overselling the notion that a seasoned manager would've gotten a different result this season: Because it overlooks the roster the problems and what Hyde/Mansolino left behind. We would be at best .500...I am jot convinced it would've made that much of a difference.

How are people calling for him to be fired already...3 months in? Lol And consider the pitching he's had to work with this year. Not sure it's a fair litmus test yet...Alby has had a bad series so far, no doubt about it. But fired already in his rookie year? Nah...

Awesome--congratulations to you both! Praying blessings for a long and happy marriage--God bless

Sun? Never heard of it

Yes. They don't need to start completely over in terms of the players. That is why I think this can be turned around in a much shorter timeframe than before, and that another fire sale isn't necessary (not too many sellable veterans left anyway, lol).

You mentioned yesterday that you hadn't seen a pattern like this...what made it unusual?

What makes it so unusual?

Unfortunately, in this country, the general public operates on feeling...we see this played out in many different areas, lol You see all the rain we're getting and it doesn't "feel" like a drought and this rain "feels" like it's fixing it. I wish people would just think a little more about these things but...not how we operate apparently, smh

I don't understand...rain guage numbers are right there in your back yard. And we have our yearly averages vs. where we are. I mean stuff even a layman can understand that doesn't need a ton of science. So I don't get how you can say it's not real unless as CAPE said it's connected to the other thing.

Whoops I meant 97-98, lol What was the number that year?

97-98 oughta be on that list too, right?

What did you see down there tonight?

He already criticized himself for it afterward while sitting on the bench and basically said the same thing, lol He acknowledged it and hit a home run in the next AB...so all forgiven (not to mention that ball probably would have been a homer if the had a camera on top of there...it was close)

But if it's gonna be east-based, though...isn't that an automatic wall-to-wall torch like 97-98?

Why?
