Slugging .301 as a team now.
At some point it cannot be written off to random variance; so either 1) Coolbaugh has done something; 2) Manfred is sending dead balls to Comerica; or 3) we are part of an alien experiment in phycological torture
Serious questions that I have:
Can't Hinch just say to Avila, I don't want Willi here, call up X?
Does Hinch really think there is something else to learn about Willi as a ML player?
Avila should have been fired long ago,
Hinch is a good manager,
In an organization that valued success, the total collapse of every batter would - right or wrong - prompt some change.
RF, LF: 0 HR combined (both Meadows AND Grossman - none)
CF: 1 HR
C; 1 HR
They need to make a change. Really any change. No idea if Coolbaugh is teaching something new, or the ball is that different, or they are collectively cursed, but this is effing nuts.
so far, minor league system seems to be a reflection of major league team
lots of solid to good pitching performances despite injuries up and down system (even lower tier guys)
hitters are either low-ceiling platoon or bench bats, or way too young to know if they are ML starters; above Lakeland there are only 4 guys who even might be ML starters (Greene IL, Kreidler IL, Dingler and Keith)
yep.
Massachusetts will mandate it; Mississippi will outlaw it.
Hobby Lobby will sue and win in the SC because a corporation's right to practice religion is the most important thing ever
they tried the same BS in Bush v Gore, writing that this case is such complete bunk it should never be cited ever again by any attorney. of course, it is continually cited ever since
if you are knocking out the main pillar of substantive due process after 50 years, it is 100% complete BS that the other substantive due process cases are somehow safe. that language is useless and he knows it.
that is very much like the Roberts court, trying to make sure they implement their take-over gradually
