Going to regret letting Rowson go I'm afraid
He apparently has a thing going
And we let it walk
Thinking Roccos success had a lot to do with a couple real good assistants.
I still believe in Rocco tho
His TB background will be helpful in improving what happened this year (I hope)



Rowson as a bench coach under Donnie Baseball, with young hitter to mold, could bode well for the Marlins.

I get the Marlins got after it early, and Shelton didn't take the Pirates job a few weeks after losing Rowson.

Was bad timing and all. But hurt. A lot.

Yankees

Embarrassing record.

He was lights-out in the minors. Only thing against him was age. But who cares? That could be a benefit too. He's not even a free agent until 2025. Play it year-to-year through arbitration. So stupid.

Yes, you do.

San Diego's heavily worked bullpen couldn't keep putting up zeros -- or keeping runners off base, even though the Padres gave up only four hits.

It will be interesting to see what I do if it's Astros vs Rays.

I will root for Astros over Yankees, easy.

Will be good for the game to have an Astros/Dodgers WS.

Actually, if the Astros win the World Series this season on the up-and-up it proves they are a great team.

Quite honestly, they shouldn't even be eligible
A real commissioner would have seen to that

Status: offline 		The league left it up to the Twins to make a statement in that first series
"these guys are beat down, send them packing"
And instead, we emboldened them.


They were at a tipping point, and we let them up
And right now they are living off that high of regaining the momentum they never should have regained.

Astros players are telling people behind scenes they’re focused, mad, and very into the idea of avenging themselves against what they consider haters. Like, say, the A’s, Yankees, Rays and Dodgers. Will be good theater. People who know these guys think they can run the table.

That's from a NY baseball reporter


Responses:
How is it so incredibly impossible that this group of guys have no self awareness.

No one is a "hater." People are displeased you ran a massive cheating operation and it went unpunished.


The #Astros dealt with no fan backlash thanks to empty ballparks in 2020.

They cheated and went completely unpunished.

Now they’re playing an odd victim stance because they aren’t heralded as the organization once was.

His start vs the Twins was his last.

Definitely two contrasting leagues. Still
Pads are trying to correct that it seems. Dodgers have.
