Hot take: $325M/10 years was indeed way too much to give a pitcher who had never held an MLB-sized baseball.
Unless your owner happens to run a private equity business that leverages a network of undisclosed related-party loans to turn his insurance empire into a personal cash machine for his sports assets.
Dodgers fans think they got Yamamoto because their front office is smarter than everyone else (they’re not), or because they have more money than everyone else (they don’t).
They got him because their owner was able to take risks no other owner could take, because he was breaking the law.

If Bennett Sousa wants to play for a fanbase that gets excited about wildcard games and losing, he should play for the Seattle Mariners

100% Espada saw that the Rangers lost ... so he decided to play fast and loose with this one ... since, if we lost, we wouldn't lose any ground.
He's a candy ass.

After that bunt hit, there was a 0% chance they were not tying it up if Abreu stays in. Just pitiful pitching but even worse managing

Dana brown offseason pitching acquisitions have turned this team mid. If those guys were decent we are running away with the west. Instead the team is doing its best to overcome his moves.

Final from No Life Field: Astros combine for a 3-pitcher 9-0 no-hitter against the Rangers, finished off by a guy named Santa. That's right: Not even Santa left the Rangers anything.

Complacency and arrogance are the two quickest paths to decline. A sense of urgency is always needed! No matter the sport or the business!

Today is a sad day, but Phil brought so much joy to so many through the years. It was an honor to play for him. He was a legendary player and man!
We are saddened by the passing of Phil Garner, whose playing and managing careers spanned five decades in the game.
Garner played 16 years as a gritty infielder nicknamed “Scrap Iron.” A 3-time All-Star with the Athletics and Pirates, he went on to spend seven years with the Astros, then finished his playing days with stints with the Dodgers and Giants.
In 1979, Garner was a key member of the World Series champion “We Are Family” Pittsburgh Pirates. He batted .417 (5-for-12) in the three-game NLCS sweep, then hit .500 (12-for-24) in the World Series to help Pittsburgh win the title in seven games.
Garner would go on to spend parts of 15 seasons as manager of the Brewers, Tigers, and Astros. In 2005, he skippered the Astros to their first ever World Series appearance.
He was 76 years old.
