Wild that Bruce Bochy has managed over 4,000 games, is 8 games under 500 for his career, yet has 4 ‘ships and has taken 3 different teams to the WS and won it with two of them.

I’m just glad that the Rangers have now excerised the demons of the one strike away and what if Nelson Cruz wasn’t slow 2011 team. :yes:

You could never do that in any sport have that many rings and be under .500. Hell I don't even think you can do that in MLB he's a rare case.

There are quite a few stores like Academy and other sports retailers that are staying open late to sell championship merch.
The lines are long as hell.....inside and outside.

Yup and I’m glad he said it

I don’t know what cashman has on the sons because pops would’ve fired him long ago

That's true but I don't like the over romanticism with George

We cannot rewrite history

The Boss was also a massive f*ck up who at the time fans hated.

And giving ALL the credit to Stick (who is the MAN by the way and go see how Steinbrenner treated him!) and acting like Cash ain't do nothing ain't right

I like the stability of the team and Cash earned that. And sometimes it's about the devil you know.

overall Brian been good... compare him to the OTHER teams

But after the Jeter thing is when I started to doubt. And some of those signings were horrendous. I would still let him stay for 2 more years. Let's see of he can clean up this mess.

Sidebar...

Let's not let Hal off the damn hook either. the money is looking good right now, teal good. And trust me that seems to be that guy's primary concern and I'm not completely mad at that.

It IS a business.

But you gotta put a good product on the field and the prices they charging?

I'm okay with it but he better smarten up. He makes some dumbass decisions. The first one needs to be moving Schwarber from the leadoff spot and putting him in the 4 hole. Stop with the dumb shit and have that man bat cleanup. He strikes out too damn much to lead off.

Traditional lineups are a thing of the past. You put your "best" hitters at the top of the lineup in order to get them an extra at bat or two. His OBP was in the Top 50. He was right behind Vlad Jr. You wouldn't want Vlad Jr to get an extra at bat during a game?
I think he's a good manager for this team, the issue is that it's very feast or famine and both playoff runs ended when the team got cold. The philosophy of "Just get to the playoffs and then turn it on" won't work in a year or two when the team is mid 30s with no real farm system on the way in terms of heavy hitters.

No. Its stupid still because 1, he clogs the basepath. It's still wise to have speed at the top of the lineup. You can manufacture more runs with speed. Puts more pressure on the defense and the pitcher. That will never change. 2, you have Turner and Stott. They should be 1 and 2. PERIOD!!!! With Harper hitting 3rd. For a man to have 47home runs with 104 RBI's is absolutely attrocious. Dude should be in the 130 range, and would be with Turner, Stott and Harper hitting in front of him. 3, he has Bohm or Reamulto for protection in the lineup after him. You wouldn't wanna fool around with Schwarber if he was hitting clean up with Turner, Harper or Stott on base because Bohm or J.T. can hurt you. You can argue he would get better pitches to hit in those scenarios rather than just no one on base.
