A bad manager can really screw up a team. A good manager is what his players make of him. A great manager (so I’ve read) is worth 4-5 extra wins over the course of a season.
Clubhouse chemistry / mood probably has as much as anything to do with whether an ‘average’ team is a few games over or a few games under .500.
If anything, we have catchers trade but – let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
The season could still go either way.
On the glass half full side, if Noot comes back 100% and you replace Scott in the lineup AND Walker keeps it up AND there are no major injuries then – this surely has to be a playoff team.
You always, always, always need more pitching. Do we have any at AAA pushing for a call up?
This will be an acid test for May’s turnaround.
We will continue to see if the league adjusts to Walker’s adjustments to their adjustments to his offseason adjustments.
Speaking of adjustments – Gorman needs to make some and I’m sure he’s trying.
Scott II’s stat line is starting to look cringy.
Walker seems to have adjusted to the adjustments to his adjustments.
He has to be feeling lighter than air this morning.
It works really well as far as I can tell. I’d like to see it just flat out used for all ball & strike calls or triple the number of challenges to 6 for each team. A challenge literally takes 10-15 seconds to resolve and with only 2, once one is lost teams tend to conserve the last one for the 8th or 9th inning and the blown calls pile up.
I’m thrilled with the ABS system because now each umpire cannot have their own personal strike zone that changes depending on which side the batter hits from. This is forcing umpires to use the strike zone as defined by rule or risk being made a fool of.
I think ALL balls and strikes should be called by the ABS system. Period.
I don’t think Skenes has fared well against the Cardinals thus far in his career – Koufax couldn’t get Bob Uecker out for what it was worth.
