1. It is kinda funny seeing people project us to finish 4th or sometimes even 5th in the East. It’s like they haven’t learnt anything.

2. Replace that pic with Erik Neander

3. And then lose in the playoffs for the same reason. Analytics work great over a long season, not so well in a short series.

4. I hate this. But it’s true.

5. Great. I want a WS trophy tho.

6. There’s been a few times he’s been snubbed for Manager of the Year.

   Bottom three, five, six payroll. Perennial playoff contender. Has a revolving door roster- yet Has the WL % of a team with 4-5x the payroll and a stable roster.

7. He’s honestly a genius, he’s working with a small budget and still creates dangerous teams and playoff contenders

8. 100% then also lose if we never learn to trust our gut in the playoffs

9. SOME people dont appreciate the challenge of managing a locker room of pro athletes with egos so large they are at constant risk of collapsing under their own weight like a black star. the most interpersonal drama weve heard over the years is randy and wander didnt get along… thats about it. everyone buys into reduced roles to facilitate analytics, even allstar players. takes a good manager to get that shit done. players like playing for the rays.
