That is what we were told. It seems to me that a strong manager would have been able to infuence either his bosses or players. I am not putting all the blame on him, but a manager has to take some responsibilty for that. What would Jim Leyland have done?

It was not obvious to me since I would not not judge a manager based on one season where there were a lot of injuries. His team won over 100 games in 2022. I am not even a fan of Showalter. The media has always pumped up as some kind of genius which he is not. My only point is that I don't believe a baseball manager has a big effect on win totals.

I assumed Hinch would be around for a while, so this is not a surprise to me. I am neither happy nor disappointed. He didn't seem to handle the Houston situation well, but I don't sense there is any trouble with the Tigers. The Tigers have had good bullpens since he has been with them too which is one of the few areas I believe a manager can be worth a small number of games. On the other hand, it could be fetter who is doing it.

He had ten winning seasons.

Like every other manager.

Like every other manager.

He already did. He played 70 games at 2B and 16 at SS last year.

How about an Evansville Tripletts cap?

But you said that winning the World Series is all that matters.

Are you calling us stupid?

Someone who brags about their knowledge and self confidence on a sports messageboard can expect to be made fun of. Isn't that what sports bros do to each other? If I thought you were actually dumb, I would not do that to you.

I wasn't ridicuing your intelligence. I was poking fun at your assertion of knowledge and self confidence.

I think you have above average intelligence. But not elite !!! 😀

I also agree more than disagree with him on this topic. It's his attitude.

😃

Yes, I have noticed that... But I also know many religious people that are more reasonable than that.

You don't have to agree with anyone. Just try to understand what people are saying and don't go off on a caffeine laced rant every time someone questions you You are beginning to sound like Trump with all your random caps.

Not to be rude, but your arrogance and dismissiveness of everybody that disagrees with you is laughable. Did all the wonderful laws of science just happen magically? I use math and science all the time and I prefer it to religion. I can't prove or disprove the existence of a higher power, so I stick to science which works my purposes. But when I see how nicely laws of science work sometimes, it makes me wonder why they work. Was it planned that way or do they just work magically? Or maybe they don't work so great and humans just think they work because their experience in the universe is limited.

I think the existence of science itself is some of the best evidence that there may be a god.

Science does not reject god. It just has more evidence for natural creation than planned creation. Perhaps both could be true though.

No, it hasn't.
