    Over Grandal and all the other catchers we have had since Piazza.
    I'm sure Cody would have had less errors and passed balls and dumbass at bats than Grandal and the rest of them in any of the WS we lost.
    And we would have won.
    Regardless of the perceived analytical disadvantages.
    Because Cody is a defensive beast and would probably learn and become our best catcher over the off-season if needed.

    On Kershaw i blame dodger fans more for giving up on him.
    Our collective lack of faith disturbed him greatly.
    And the cheaters found where they could take the advantage.

    Moral of the story is that when your guy falters don't kick him on the way down.
    He's your guy.
    Instead go find those who made him trip.
    So your guy has a chance to recover his stride.
    If you don't... He was never your guy... guy.
    And even if you got an autograph like a stan it doesn't mean that you ever knew the man.
    Because it's too late now.
    The damage is done.
    And Kershaw already knows who you are.
    So does the rest of the team.

    I didn’t realize the full extent of this yesterday. The “intern” has received pretty nice promotions in the organization. This new report from the WSJ shows that Luhnow knew more than was originally reported, and Manfred conveniently left it out of his report. Details of “Codebreaker”, a system developed in the Astros FO:
    • Members of the Astros front office called it “Codebreaker,” according to documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal, and often referred to their tactics as the “dark arts.” The system and the front-office employees that manned it were part of the process of figuring out opposing teams’ signs and ultimately getting the information to Astros players to use on the field.
    • The use of Codebreaker continued into 2018 and not just at home games, but also on the road. Until this point, it was assumed that the Astros only used their system at home. This story suggests they used at least some version of it on the road.
    • The Codebreaker system was developed by Derek Vigoa, then an intern and now the Astros’ senior manager for team operations.

    • Tom Koch-Weser, the team’s director of advance information, plays a central role in this latest story. He told MLB investigators Luhnow would “giggle” at the name “Codebreaker.” Koch-Weser said Luhnow would sometimes say, “You guys Codebreaking?” when he came to the Astros video room during road games. Luhnow denied this to the Wall Street Journal.

    • Koch-Weser would often call the system the Astros’ “dark arts,” according to e-mails obtained by MLB. He said once in a team Slack channel, referring to Luhnow: “I know the secrets that made us a championship team, some of which he[’]d definitely feel a lot safer if they were kept in-house.”

    What should happen: Luhnow needs to be banned for life, Manfred needs to resign, and Crane needs to be forced to sell..

    what will happen: the two people named will be fired and Crane will reiterate how the organization is full of great people

    Fuck this Astros shit. Get rid of this organization already.

    And fuck the Red Sox. Why are we helping this POS organization? Pull the deal, patch things up with Verdugo etc... and let’s get ready for 2020.

    Heyman reporting that media and fan blowback IS why the deal is where it’s at. It’s caused conflict within the Red Sox FO. Good fucking god

    He also made it sound like the Sox don’t really have to get under the tax. Though it was hard to fully tell.

    If we were serious about trying to re-sign Betts, the fuck em. Don’t do the trade, keep Verdugo and Maeda, win the WS, and sign Betts in the offseason.

    I would bet that this is a John Henry thing. He’s embarrassed and trying to save face.

    If our players wouldnt be buthurt coming back id say fuck this deal. But you just know it would be a lingering issue in the clubhouse.

    Thanks Red Sucks for being pussies. Pull the tampon outta your vag and get this shit done already. We have other shit to do

    Bloom is an Orthodox Jew, so do not expect a resolution today.

    It didn’t help that media and pundits gave them F’s for the trade, then the dox’ing of Verdugo didn’t help. I think it was WAY worse than they knew.

    i knew it was about saving face
    had to be powerful people in and around the organization throwing serious shade as well as the fans
    this asshat has no idea what to do now
    as far as reconciling w players goes i don't think thats gonna happen
    was at sushi last night w a yankee fan and he said Joc had already said quite a few nasty things about the Dodgers
    im not a twit so i don't know if it was a tweet
