Re: MLB Off-Topic

Pittsburgh media saying he met her outside the bullpen at PNC then it escalated via social media.

13 when it started, 15 now is the way I read it.

Yeah, just read that part.

Lock the dude up. What a piece of ****.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Now it makes sense why he changed his name from Rivero--was trying to get away from the feds.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I'm all for vilifying a guy for committing heinous crimes, but I also want to make sure and wait until things go from "alleged" to "convicted".

edit: NVM, sounds like he's admitting to everything

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Vladdy Jr says he's never worked out at the gym or lifted weights.

That's both a good and bad thing.

Jays absolutely need a full conditioning plan for him this offseason.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Reporting from beat writers that Hurdle is coming back for another year. Same with the GM...

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Pirates did indeed fire Hurdle, good, now clean house.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Joe Maddon is out in Chicago. About a year overdue, but praise be.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

If I'm Hurdle, I'd be happy to be out of Pittsburgh. I believe it is also time to give Huntington the heave ho, he's had a rough go of it the past few seasons. You could probably say the same about Searage too.

Highest single-season run differential by a team in the 162 game era (1961-present):

1. 1998 Yankees (+309)
2. 2001 Mariners (+300)
3. 2019 Astros (+280)
4. 2019 Dodgers (+273)

0% chance he is not a manager next year.

I get why the change was made...but he is too good to be on the shelf if he can be like his past performance.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Could Grandpa Ross be the next Cubs manager?

Only if he becomes the 1st player-manager in quite some time, imo. He could probably catch 40 games.

I don’t see Klentak going anywhere...didn’t he just get an extension after the offseason? I see Kapler gone and wouldn’t be surprised to see Maddon or Girardi in Philly.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Maddon is from PA and perhaps both PA teams will have job openings. I still think San Diego would be the better fit for Maddon's sort of laid back style. Fairly low expectations and lots of emerging young players there that could use some mentoring as well.
