Hmmm coincidence?

 

[Kelleyman]

DDJ great catch. Wonder how that will feel on the artificial turf next year

[saddles]

Duane will be the closest to the win total. He guessed 74 wins.

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder if Maddon goes to San Fran

 

[saddles]

Everyone guessed we would finish in 4th or 5th place. No one guessed 3rd.

 

[saddles]

Everyone guessed Gallo as the HR leader.

 

[Kelleyman]

Yanks 3B great jump throw to rob Solak

Thought Hurdle was to come back next year. Or told he was. Interesting

Will Clark in the booth stating that pop up would have never dropped in his day. Team first

I’d think he’d come out of the stands to catch that pop up

Don't think any call off would work for him even a manager.

And Guzman shows why he is the best defensive 1B since Mitch with outstanding catch on pop

8 Ks for Lynn. I love his approach of challenging batters

Should end up with 2 7+ WAR, 200+ IP, 200+ K pitchers

Hopefully 2-3 guys emerge from Allard, Burke, Sampson, Jurado, Hearn, Palumbo, Hernandez and step up next year

That would be ideal even to get 2. It looks like Alllard is the front runner. Done with Sampson. Jurado AAA. Hearn an unknown. Hernandez long shot likely still in pen multi inning role.

Palumbo good shot. Bet we pick up Starting RHP

Wonder if Maddon goes to San Fran

That would be an excellent landing spot. But IMO, he needs to go to the couch.

Is it strange that mangers in baseball are sought out after they become 50 years old, and everyone else - almost regardless of occupation - is getting phased out?

His punk-mentality caught up with him......He needs to be on the couch too.......He's still in the 1977 mode of baseball.
