June 12, 201313 yr Author ctrent @ctrent Dusty Baker said they'd considered Cingrani staying for bullpen help, but think his continued development is more important Baker said later in the season, Cingrani could be in the bullpen, especially in September Makes sense. Sounds familiar... Would make for a great discussion with Joe Price on your show seeing how he filled both roles as a young lefty.
June 12, 201313 yr Would make for a great discussion with Joe Price on your show seeing how he filled both roles as a young lefty. I'll hit on it tonight...
June 12, 201313 yr Joe Price has talked about this on CBT a few times. Basically sitting a player that is slumping badly doesn't result in a mental off day because the guy is so stressed on getting things going. If you sit after things start to turn around you can actually take a mental day off and not have your brain spinning in circles... In other words, managers are smarter than everyone on BGP? Got it.
June 12, 201313 yr Interesting. UKMF? .... any comments on this? It's an interesting take, and I'll trust Price knows better than you or I. Although I do have serious doubts as to whether Dusty is smart enough to think like that.
June 12, 201313 yr In other words, managers are smarter than everyone on BGP? Got it. I'd be willing to bet a large stack of coin that the majority of BGPer's (being college graduates) are smarter than the majority of MLB mangers....Just a hunch.
June 12, 201313 yr Author In other words, managers are smarter than everyone on BGP? Got it. Except when it comes to who may be pitching for the Mets against the Reds on a particular day. :sssh::lol::lol:
June 12, 201313 yr Author I'd be willing to bet a large stack of coin that the majority of BGPer's (being college graduates) are smarter than the majority of MLB mangers....Just a hunch. Not about managing a baseball team for 162 games.
June 12, 201313 yr Not about managing a baseball team for 162 games. Well that isn't what he said, now is it?
June 12, 201313 yr I'd be willing to bet a large stack of coin that the majority of BGPer's (being college graduates) are smarter than the majority of MLB mangers....Just a hunch. We're talking about managing a baseball team, not IQ. They are better at that than us, the same way you are a better accountant (I think that's what you do) than they are.
June 12, 201313 yr We're talking about managing a baseball team, not IQ. They are better at that than us, the same way you are a better accountant (I think that's what you do) than they are. And I'd agree with that. I can only go on what is posted though.
June 12, 201313 yr Author Well that isn't what he said, now is it? Crash obviously forgot who he was talking to, and that he needed to explain it like he was talking to a K-3 student.
June 12, 201313 yr Crash obviously forgot who he was talking to, and that he needed to explain it like he was talking to a K-3 student. Everyone got replaced last night. :lol: Who replaced Phillips? Bruce? Hanigan? Frazier? :sssh::idunno: You mean kinda like this? I forgot, it's only allowed when you do it....
June 12, 201313 yr Crash obviously forgot who he was talking to, and that he needed to explain it like he was talking to a K-3 student. I was going to compliment his intelligence for his age. I haven't had a disagreement like that with my 7 year old in quite some time.
