Thought Counsell deserved MOY over Shildt, especially after the Yellich injury.
I guess I can't really argue with Baldelli, although I don't know how much managerial talent is required to get your team to hit a fuckton of home runs.
Saw this on Twitter - obviously it's a #SmallSampleSize, but...
2017 Postseason Home/Away Splits:
McCann

Away: .037 BA/.161 OBP/.037 SLG/.198 OPS, 1 H, 0 HR & 0 RBI
Altuve
Home: .472 BA/.513 OBP/1.028 SLG/1.541 OPS, 17 H, 6 HR & 12 RBI
Away: .143 BA, .268 OBP, .229 SLG, .497 OPS, 5 H, 1 HR & 2 RBI
Correa
Home: .371 BA/.421 OBP/.743 SLG/1.164 OPS, 13 H, 3 HR & 10 RBI
Away: .211 BA/.231 OBP/.395 SLG/.626 OPS, 8 H, 2 HR & 4 RBI.
Can't see where you can get a full look at the team's H vs. A splits in the postseason, but would be curious to see that.
Cardinals were picked by most to win the NL Central and Brewers were picked by most to finish second. Both teams met their preseason expectations. Meanwhile, the Braves were picked to finish either third or fourth in the NL East by everyone and ended up being the second best team in the NL. Snitker is the only of the three managers whose team actually exceeded expectations.
Great signing.
Also, sign stealing happens and attempting to steal signs happens in about every baseball game.
isn't McCann well-known for being one to take it upon himself to enforce the rules of the game?
Only when someone murders a home run and then dares to peek at it with their eyeballs instead of running at an appropriate speed around the bases with their head down.
There are a bunch more videos coming out - McCann, Marisnick, Springer, Altuve all seem to have been apart of it, probably the whole team. There is a new one against chris archer where they have 1 bang for change, 2 bangs for sliders. It's shitty, but the internet memes coming out about it are all great.
