Why did you post this? I suppose to you it's self-evident that this is an utterly destructive way to try to run a franchise, and you wanted to remind everyone how mind-bogglingly stupid Duquette is?

Oh well, it'll be fine. When the team moves to San Antonio or Portland or wherever they'll eventually award us a new expansion team and maybe that team can win the winter meetings.

Yea, I'm trying to figure this one out myself. This way of going about things has produced three laughable seasons in a row. You saw what KC did to the O's in the ALCS. :rolleyes:;)

We=Angelos.

I wonder if he has just doesn't have the energy to plead his case with Father Petey anymore....

I believe he has an open line to PA any time he want's to use it. I also think he wisely chooses not to use it carelessly or often.

DD is pretty disciplined and he comes to work every day. The results so far buys him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he was traded with the expectation that he would retire.

And yes if there is no salary to be paid I wouldn't expect the Dodgers to have to send the Marlins any money.

I wasn't sold on him, especially as a lead off hitter.

      Assuming we make the playoffs - and Fangraphs assures me it is still 98.8% certain - do we deserve a champagne-and-goggles celebration this year? Feels like instead they should be making a group apology to the fans for making it close.

      I'm surprised that with the pitching injuries and issues that the Orioles had, we didn't see more guys from Bowie get moved up to Norfolk to atleast check them out. Heid and Roth (who did deal with an injury in July that impacted him for a few weeks) could have gone to Norfolk for the last month. Loon, if he wasn't injured, could be in place to be there next season.

      Correct.  We'd be way better off if half those guys were in the lineup.   But yeah, let's fire Hyde.

      At this stage, I don't care how we get in - just get in. As been said on here a zillion times, the playoffs are a crap shoot. As bad as it seems right now - WHY NOT?

      Oh, I forgot Mountcastle.  He had a 2.2 bWAR season going (1.4 oWAR). And he's effectively been replaced with O'Hearn who is a 1.3 bWAR player (which has been dropping) of which he has a -1.4 dWAR and a 1.8 oWAR. So there's a net negative there, too, going from O'Hearn part time to him FT and losing Mounty's bat. Injuries are a part of any given team, but I don't think it's unfair to say this team would be at 88-89 wins with even half of those guys back.

      While agree that taking this year's Santander out of the offense would hurt. This is the only year that he has performed at this level. He's OPS is 37 points higher this year, than his avg. His OBP stinks and he goes cold for fairly long periods. He's had a couple of heaters that have padded his OPS. His career OPS+ is 114 and that is buoyed by this years 132. I am not saying he sucks or is even at a replacement level player. But he is a pretty flawed player who is not likely to repeat this year which has been pretty flawed as well. I like Santander and I think he provides valuable leadership. I just don't see him having the value that it will take to keep him. I also don't think he is the type of player that ages well.

      You really should have to finish in first place to make the playoffs. If the divisions were large from back in the day then I could understand having 2nd place teams make it. It was such an accomplishment back then. We can all agree 3rd place teams making it is a joke.
