It's still a bit surreal for me to have what I spent my weekend thinking and talking about show up for discussion on RJ the next day. More surreal than seeing it discussed in a newspaper column, for some reason."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'" -

unless we disagree with/don't understand the strategy, that is.Originally posted by cavebird View PostIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Another question for you that you can't answer. After last night does the organization think:
(A) It is mortifying that our manager doesn't know the rules of baseball;
(B) It is awesome that our manager can talk a whole umpiring crew into believing in the existence of a wholly ficticious rule change; or
(C) We wish he could make up more rule changes because we are 10-25 under the current rules.Comment

From Nick Cafardo in today's Boston Globe:
"Reid Ryan, president and CEO, Astros — Nolan Ryan’s oldest son, who has been running two minor league teams the family own, will likely put his stamp on the Astros. Now, we don’t know this for sure, but if he’s similar philosophically to his father, it doesn’t appear the way the Astros are currently run, with an overdependence on statistics, is in line with a Ryan-run team. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow had success with a stats-oriented approach in St. Louis. Obviously, it’s tough to project if that approach will work in Houston with the team so far away from winning."Comment

Cafardo knows not of what he speaks there, on several counts."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

LOL...yeah, I read that comment and thought Cafardo's snark rated among the most ignorant, biased statements I've seen in sports this year. Lessee, we have someone who didn't ask Reid Ryan a question use psychobabble and projection and combine it with a bias against statistical use in baseball to determine how Reid Ryan will run a team.Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View Post
I do believe Nick Cafardo will earn my "Drinking from the Well of Stupid in Sports" award for the week.I'm just here for the baseball.

Cafardo rarely knows what he speaks of---I hardly know a Red Sox fan who even bothers to read him at this point.Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostComment

No idea why Cafardo gets run each Sunday on MLBTR. 95% of what he runs reeks like 2 week old milkComment

Not only that, it would also help if he realized that Reid Ryan isn't running the baseball side.Originally posted by chancellor View Post"Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

What's the lowdown on Matt Dominguez? A bit of a power surge lately.. what's his upside?
Thanks."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment
