i'll give you an example of things he will do
if he realizes he is a step behind dribbling inside the box he will block the ball with his foot in the last second when the defender is applying pressure
he knows he can't stop the steal or deflection but he can make his foot get kicked no matter what
he knows how to use his body for that pretty well
Like he is almost like James Harden or CP3 in that regard
dim ledge
i see
in terms of personality and i guess that adds to that distinction i was never a great fan of him
but yeah i cant at all deny his ability man. so good 2010-2020
calm mulch
He is the kind of player you love if he is in ur team but hate playing against him

because while he has this lesser tactics he is still a deadly attacker

So what about sacking managers? You can’t sack players mid season why should managers have to be fired when they’ve signed a contract
Managers probably most likely have clauses in their contract that allow for things like this to happen
Otherwise when are they supposed to move and join new teams
You can’t sell a manager
Or I’ve never seen a manager sold
A manager could also just resign from his job whenever he wants and then join another team
Nothing stopping him from doing that
short flame
So what about sacking managers? You can’t sack players mid season why should man...
I wouldn’t mind sacking players if you have reasonable reason to do it and if you do you can sign players that are without a contract or promote someone young. The thing is when you sign a contract you have to honour it. If a manager is doing good how can a team just come mid season and buy them out. I think it’s unfair for the smaller clubs that can lose their manager any time
You gotta have rules to avoid teams to lose their manager and be left on a bad spot

If small teams don’t allow for managers to have a direct route to progress then in the future others will see that and stay away from them
Causing the team to shoot themselves in the foot
At the end of the day some people want to progress

The manager makes a choice to join them
He can decline if he has such a problem

We’ll just hire Pep to replace him
celest zephyr
Yeah that’s fair. Teams rarely do it anyways
Idk i don’t love it but i guess can’t hate keeping it as an option
Teams have pretty much wrote off the season if they switch late in the season
Pretty hard for a new coach outside of the team to do well with limited time left
Disrespectful but i guess it does at least allow the team to get some money back
Rather than them leave for nothing
Don’t think it helps the locker room either
So its not a good choice in a lot of cases

Up to the 1990s, you only faces teams from your league

Makes them face off in the WS more special I guess

And so what if you play a team only twice in a 162 game season, then you barely know them anyways

This is great for new age hardcore baseball fans. Give opportunities to see everyone

Back in 1962 it was lke this:
All major league teams now played 162-game schedules, which had been adopted by the American League (AL) the prior season, with each team facing the nine other clubs in the same league 18 times during the season.
robust grotto
AL and NL being separated made the all star games and the WS that much more special too
celest zephyr
I get that but like idk man
Playing 150 plus games to not even play every single team in the league ????

They had separate officials too. You were an employee of one or the other as an umpire
That’s how it was man. And only like 3 teams on each side made the playoffs yeah?

In 2022 it was like this:
As it had been the case since 2013, all teams played their four division opponents 19 times each for a total of 76 games, six or seven games against each of the other ten league opponents for a total of 66 games, and 20 interleague games.

Don’t trust the Bills with their run game yet
They can draft Bijan, and I still would be skeptical

Harris is a depth piece for them
The dude had like 2 good games for us
Then started acting like a dick about New England this offseason when we didnt tender him because he and Jakobi Meyers were huge dissenters that made Mac acting out worse

Why not put ohtani in with two on base and two outs...
Seriously I'm asking I have no idea idk this sport lmao
Nvm
proud coyote
ohtani is worse at hitting when he pitches
just tires a guy out
and their pitcher is capable enough
esp given you'd want ohtani batting at full strength in the bottom of the inning
murakami better redeem himself here, he's been cold the whole tourney
and there he goes
