@ChadMoriyama And with all the talk about how the Dodgers are buying their chips, it’s fair that they are spending more on FA, at least with these recent wins. What no one will ever give credit for is being an analytic team.
@BrianWolfe41778@Seth_3773 They may be rare in Little League, but not when teams are this deep in the tourney. RF was real shallow by the time he got the ball, and he didn’t even have to bounce it home. Bad send!
@GregBoysen A better way of thinking about it is most valuable to any team. A player shouldn’t be penalized for having good teammates. And I’m fine if PCA wins it, just pushing back on this archaic definition of MVP. As it is, Dodgers haven’t been as good since Ohtani stopped pitching.
@Head_FirstPod It’s simply against the rules. Like there are no leadoffs and pickoffs at this level. The rules are adjusted for this age group. You can steal signs when you leave little league.
@TFroehlig@JimChav73085222@CIG13000755 Ha it doesn’t matter what most fans care for. The fact is, that stealing signs is against little league rules. You can do this in high school etc.
@BostonMMAGuy Ha BA just came out with this article. Of the 75 AS players on rosters, Dodgers led with originally signing 6 players. https://t.co/nFtgKCYBOv
@sck_2008@purpledrank0 The Padres would be a decent model to look at. They got aggressive in free agency (not all hits but they’ve tried), they had a good farm system and made trades, and they’ve been really competitive and selling out their stadium. They were the better team in 2024.
@Rikter14@jewishnighthawk@tangotiger I’m just addressing the point that night hawk made about how if he is DH then Will Smith can’t take a day off to just hit and not field. That’s a roster spot question. Does war actually take into account the value of allowing the dodgers to carry an extra pitcher?
