    I wanted to root for them, as well.

    Be a cold day in hell before I root for La Russa to do anything good.

    Was just reading and marvelling about this again.

    This could be the dumbest decision since.
    ....I don't know.  I cannot think of a hire that I instantly felt certain would 100% work against the team getting better.  
    They still are loaded and could win in spite of him but they will have a lot to overcome just to be happy at work.

    Very bad move for the sport.  Shocker that the fucking corpse aka Jerry Shitdorf makes it.

    I don't know.  It just seems like MLB managers are empty husks who decide how closely to follow a binder of %ages.  
    Its at least very interesting with LaRussa, as opposed to some middle of the road player from the 2000s that we forgot about.  There are only a few managers who I think transcend the current trend of robots, and LaRussa may be one of them.  francona is another off the top of my head.  Maybe Maddon.  Dusty Baker.


    The only thing I have against LaRussa is he was the innovator who kind of nudged baseball to its current state of over-analysis, constant pitching changes, etc.

    :lol:
    Yeah, that could be the winner of the "since" part.
    Gase is a total trump-ian level grease fire.

    I like them but change these.  Switch out Bohm for ROY, Darvish CY, LeMahieu MVP and Mookie has got to take MVP for the NL.

    Bauer gets the NL Cy Young. 
    There is no way Freeman does not win the NL MVP, in my mind.

    Yeah, LeMahieu had a pretty awesome 60 games.

    Betts was the juggernaut for LA though.

    Actually I wouldn't be angry either way.

    He had a pretty damn good year before too and got slighted for being on a loaded Yanks team but he seems to be a catalyst for manufacturing runs on that team.

    Betts is a beast but side by side he doesn't best Freeman.  (I'm not really a Freeman fan, either.) 

    Ah, who can tell.  Not like Betts is undeserving, I just looked at the stats and saw how deserving FF was.  He really took his game to a higher level, post COVID.  Did it give him superpowers?  (kidding!)

    What a story that would be.  Recovered from Covid to win the NL MVP!

    Yeah - now a hire that made no sense makes less sense.
    Two time DUI drunk old crusty guy.....I can go out and try to kill people with my car but you cannot flip your bats.

    Devin Williams with the NL MVP...  27 innings pitched and 53 strikeouts.  1 earned run allowed and .630 WHIP.  He is a 26 year old though.

    Kyle Lewis won it in the AL as a 25 year old.  Unanimous vote.

    He even looks the part! Imagine how much he needed to drink to actually be drunk. He's a seasoned vet alright.
    It's a hopeless situation...
