I still love Dusty just because I think he’s a genuinely interesting and funny guy, but I’m not gonna be too upset to see someone who actually believes in analytics as manager again.

I think that Dusty profoundly, deeply loves the game of baseball and its history and meaning and I think sometimes that kind of stuff gets in the way of good managerial decisions.

I would genuinely pay extra to get Dusty in the booth for either radio or broadcast on every game, I feel like he’d be great at doing that during retirement.

I grew up with Dusty's nephew so while I may not be an Astros fan (in fact I would say gently caress The Astros), I was happy to see him get the ring last season. But now I want him to lose, Namaste.

As a person and baseball personality I think Dusty is great. As someone who writes up the lineup cards, I'd rather he wasn't the one doing it for the team I cheer for.

I know MLB has enhanced their security a lot over the years but in my experience it can still be stupidly easy to sneak poo poo in if you want to. Hell the last time my family went to a game my dad tripped the metal detector, told security "oh yeah sorry I have a full knee replacement" and the guy just went "okay" and waved him through without even bothering to wand him.

You had that weird situation only a month ago with the Colorado fans and Acuna, which could have gotten nasty in a hurry.

I'm really fine with people who pull that poo poo suffering consequences; the more completely it's locked down, the less likely it is for the next dumbass in line to decide to have a try at it.

Bandire posted:I mean, is there any statistic at all you can point to that favors Maldonado other than GUT+. Yainer 0 for 10 in the postseason. For real, though, no. Dusty pinch hitting Yainer for Maldy in high leverage spots shows he knows intuitively that Maldy is washed, but I don't know why he can't pull the trigger on not starting him (he's back in there again tonight). It's really unfair to Yainer too, who is being thrust into high leverage situations instead of just easing into the games and not feeling like he has the season resting on his bat each PA. Yainer isn't prime Barry, he's just a promising rookie who has decent numbers despite being a very free swinger. Yes this would be a way better option than a guy who has hit below the Mendoza line for the entire season, but he's not a guy opposing pitchers would be afraid of. The difference between 22 Framber/23 Framber and Regular Season Altuve/Playoff Altuve are far bigger problems than the difference between Maldy and Yainer right now, though.

Although I feel like there's definitely a town in the UK that lost the finals of three sports in one day but no one's cross-referencing Northumberland's 1963 results in soccer, rugby union, and cricket, or whatevs. Their suffering singularity should gain recognition.
