I mean, the White Sox used a dead guy to manage them the last couple of years.n_touch said:He can manage both. One week in person and the other virtual. Will prob have better records than this year.BCSGrubber said:Joe Espada, Matt Quatraro, and Skip Schumaker are finalists for the #Marlins managerial position, sources confirm reporting by @CraigMish. @MLBNetwork @MLB

So was the Espada to the White Sox fake news?

Fire Cashman, before Boone.
Get real pitchers.
Get a real third baseman.
Get a real shortstop.
Make sure Hicks, IKF and Donaldson are never seen in pinstripes ever again.
I'm on the fence if I should pickup the fitted with the orage top and blue bill. I don't have a version like that yet. I have the two other combos.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:I bought one too.

Had a great talk with a player today who was coming up with the Astros in the mid-2010s, now with another org in the big leagues.

“Houston in 2016 was ahead of where most orgs are now!”
Couple other quotes of interest… 🧵

"Houston in 2016 was ahead of where most orgs are now!"
Couple other quotes of interest…
"Yeah, the first rounder got a few extra swings in the cage. We all know the score. But the [Astros] coaches cared as much about the top prospects as they did about the late rounders. Tyler White. Chas McCormick. Cristian Javier. Brandon Bielak. Value is everywhere."
"Coaches were never late. Held to a high standard - constantly had 1:1 meetings and came prepared with Trackman data and player plans. It was never in doubt what the coaches and the front office wanted."
"[Front office executive] would showcase off rings and awards every year to illustrate that while they cared about player development, we play to win games at every level. Winning mattered. And we won a lot."
"The focus on analytics and technology that you hear from the outside is secondary to what [Houston] got right in the minor leagues - the culture of constant improvement, work ethic, and clearly defined goals is what separates that organization from the others I've played for."
It's a running joke in baseball that the Astros make their coaches work very hard. It's incredible to overhear these complaints like I have; I just think "what would our athletes think if they heard this conversation?"
The game is about the players. Always will be.
Good morning to everyone but NYC, #RepBX fans & the common swine that has filled the timelines of @astros fans everywhere since you-know-what went down five years ago. They’re back in the #WorldSeries . Again. And they swept the @yankees and didn’t even need a roof. #LevelUp 🤘🏼🔥 pic.twitter.com/E9kEVe4ZNQ
