Re: Yanks offer job to Girardi
[ QUOTE ]
I'd think Torre's relationship with the players had very real implications on whether certain players sign and resign with the Yanks. That reputation goes a long way towards bringing back Rocket, Petite etc. [/ QUOTE ] the same clemens and pettite who went to houston?

[ QUOTE ] Actually playoffs are pretty much random. You can help your cause by being the Red Sox and raping the Secret Sauce, but it's more random than not. Sorry. The Braves only winning one championship during their ridiculous division run was actually statistically probable. That's how random it is. Get over it. [/ QUOTE ] The manager of a team is the key reason why a team does or does not advance in the playoffs. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry. Try again?

Re: Yanks offer job to Girardi
You are making a clear mistake in cause/effect relationships, CDS.
Here are two big misconceptions about sports that should be reversed: 1) The Pittsburgh Steelers win because they run the ball. (The Steelers run the ball because they win. -Football Outsiders, 2006) 2) Teams win because of great leadership from the manager. (Great leadership from the manager is because teams win. -Baseball Between the Numbers) Seriously, just do the research. Vyse is a troll and often a sycophant, but he's right this time.

I'm pretty sure not a single person on 2p2 likes me and that I've pissed off 95% of the people in any forum I've ever posted in. Wait, what? Oh ya, not to mention about 99.9% of the time the most respected posters / mods are by far the least knowledgable and say the most asinine statements that I can't not take them to task.

But I do believe that a manager's personality and his ability to deal with crisises/conflicts that arise amongst the players can affect a team's psyche/overall dynamic and their ability to perform at peak performance on the floor. I probably over stated how huge a influence it has but i disagree that it has little to no influence.

Re: Yanks offer job to Girardi
So Arod's not a choker, it's Torre's fault, and it's also Torres fault that Rivera blew the saves in game 4 against Boston and game 7 against Arizona, and hell, he can't even get them out of the first round the last three years. Clearly he sucks and was dragging down one of the most talented teams in baseball, he lost his mojo somewhere around 2001 and is lucky to have lasted this long.
