Is it Girardi’s fault the GM built a team that can’t pitch or play defense?
Wow, didn't even realize how poorly the Philthies were doing. I mean, they're not our special brand of bad but still, they're too talented to stink so much.
As many know on here, my mom is a Phillies fan. I called her this morning and she said "who the heck is the interim manager?". When we talk baseball, she loves to tell me that at least I expected the Nats to suck barnacles this year, but the Phillies were supposed to contend. I'm guessing the Phillies are going to interview Kevin Long for the vacancy.
Bruce adds another body to his count.
The Angels have now lost 11 in a row.
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-astros-ink-yordan-alvarez-to-a-long-term-extension/Through 2028. $115 Million. Price for 3 free agent years of a DH? $26 million per. Deal cut 3+ years before free agency.
Since 2019, with a minumum of 900 PAs, he has the second highest wRC+ in baseball. And this season, he's cut down on strikeouts. If the Astros believe this is the real Alvarez, then this is a great deal. Id even argue he may be underperforming this season due to a .271 BABIP. Dude crushes the ball, but does so with an approach that isnt greedy or off-balance.I think a better discussion would be someone explaining why Juan Soto is worth 15-25 million AAV more when they are virtually the same at the plate.

The Angels fired Maddon... WOW!
Could be that he's a bad manager, but I also think it takes the right GM and front office to work with him. He had it in Tampa for sure. To a large degree in chicago, too. Maybe not as much in LA.
lot of evidence he kinda sucks as a manager
Lot more evidence he doesnt
