Bauer is annoying but he's right lol Tatis did peek.

And? If it was such an issue you could pretty easily juke a hitter by setting up out of place and moving after or just changing your signs. Bauer is just the kind of guy who insists he couldn't possibly have done poorly.

it might be a hot take but this is perhaps the least noxious thing Bauer has done lately, it’s pretty clear to me he’s just having fun talking trash

Butt first, let's

Its Bauer going "I didn't have a problem with that, I'm fun and cool" and then immediately showing how completely unbothered he is.

Dodgers offense still looks dead and the bullpen is a rollercoaster. At least it’s only April.

Makes more sense than the stupid runner on second. The only thing they should change is it should be 5 different hitters like PKs in soccer. Of all the bad changes kicked around and/or implemented in the Manfred era, doing away with the random 16-inning regular season game is the one I find least offensive.

These changes are all stupid gimmicks that don't even come close to getting at the things that suck about baseball. Just a waste of everyone's time.

I don’t know if I would go that far. Zaidi does seem to be legitimately good at picking guys with upside. Plus it seems Buster taking a year off might just end being one of the best decisions he makes for himself. Of course it could all burn down at any moment and god knows the bullpen is already sort of on fire, but it’s nice to watch exciting baseball in the meantime.

Pitchers are panicky morons so yeah, I'm all for this.

I'm just shocked that there's not just a radio or something. Like, really. This isn't rocket surgery. The NFL lets the head coach blather on to the QB at basically any time; why not let the manager ream out a lovely player right in his ear?

I don't trust anything that's happening for one second but I sure am happy in the mean time. I was referring more to both teams being 15-8 at the moment

Oh I know what the main point was. I was just trying to say that the team as designed is to actually to be somewhat competitive and not just where the old names are. The bottom will probably fall out sometime soon, it’s not hard to see how either. If the offense still has issuing showing, or the pitching stops being absolutely nutso good, or the bullpen continues to be the hot mess it is this team could fall apart just like it has for the last 6 1/2 years.

hitters should always be looking for signs, and catchers should always flip them off when they do

or alternatively ask them if how their crotch is looking, either is fine
