Can't believe how clutch JT is. I'm cracking under the pressure and I'm just watching!

Red sox manager fired after two consecutive seasons finishing first. Both years they were 24 games over .500
Girardi fired by Yankees. Three first place finishes. This year the wild card, and went to game 7 of the ALCS.
Dusty Baker fired by Nationals. Two seasons and finished 1st both times.
I am not sure I understand this.

No doubt, but a cushy broadcasting gig might appeal. He's young enough that I'm guessing he'll stay in the dugout for now. I give the Nats an 80% chance of landing him unless the Lerners stay irresponsibly frugal. We'll see.

What a jerk! What happened to sportsmanship and the belief that ridiculing your opponent was not proper? When Jimmy Brown scored a touchdown, he let the ball drop in the endzone and ran back to the sideline. Mickey Mantle put his head down and ran around the bases. Julius Erving and Bill Russell never rubbed it in.

Agree on Buck and Smoltz, but I never liked Scully. I thought he sounded like a robot. Best baseball broadcaster, IMO, is Jim Kaat. He blends experience with wit and intelligence.
Without a dog in this race, it's a very exciting series.
Except the first game against the Astros when he went 7, gave up only 3 hits and struck out 11 against the best offense in baseball. He has not matched his regular season highs in the playoffs for sure but the narrative that he hasn’t been effective at all in the playoffs is false.quote:Originally posted by wine+art:
Kershaw has a 4 run and a 3 run lead and completely spits the bit, much less can’t even give your team 5 innings.
A great regular season pitcher. The conversation stops there.![]()
