Actually if you do some more searches on it you will find other thoughts and ideas on how it "should" be set up. The kicker is the most important thing is what is what 2 cities are to be awarded franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Have to laugh at the folks who say they wouldn't watch a Yankee/Dodger WS. You know darn good and well the network execs were hoping for the Yanks vs. Dodgers. Instead they have the Astroles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girardi is one of maybe 3 managers I would rather have than Maddon for the Cubs. This shocked me and I thought he did a great job this season.

This is the first time 3 managers that led their teams in the playoffs will not be back with their respective teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel they surpassed my expectations by quite a bit. But New York fans can be brutal to the point of being unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 From listening to the talking heads yesterday, this is not totally unexpected. Girardi was making $4 million and wanted a raise to closer to what Torre made --$7 million. I guess Yankee ownership decided that they would rather spend on players instead of meeting his demands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted October 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I just realized something. You had 3 managers that took their teams to the play-offs that had 90+ wins and were dismissed. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Series back tonight in Houston tied 1-1...after crazy game 2. I really thought Dodgers did horrible job managing pitchers in game 2 and pulled Hill too early. That being said, anybody have any predictions on series? I will say Astros in 7...and I think they take game 3 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 It wont happen but I would love to see Kershaw versus Verlander in Gsme 7. That would be an epic pitching matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Houston's starter tonight, but I think Roberts is making a mistake pulling his starters so early...I don't believe Woods will go past 5 innings tonight...LA's pen could be in trouble tomorrow if he goes 4-5....although I'm sure he is hoping Kershaw can go 7 tomorrow.

Yes, it won't be announced until after WS ends. He was a candidate for Nats job at the time Dusty was hired. Cubs fired their pitching coach, 3d base coach, and hitting coach. Assistant hitting coach hired as head hitting coach for another team. So they have a lot of management positions to fill this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hired Chili Davis as hitting coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
