...and stick Brian Cashman in a trash can.

“People ask me all of the time what I’m doing these days,’’ Gossage says, “and I tell them, 'Nothing but burning bridges.' "
Gossage, who spent 22 years in the big leagues, experiencing all eight of baseball’s work stoppages until this year’s lockout, blasted virtually every facet of today's game today, including commissioner Rob Manfred.

“I hate that mother (expletive),’’ Gossage says. “You know how much I hate him? I called (Hall of Fame chairman) Jane Forbes Clark before the induction last year and said, 'Jane, I don’t know where you stand with this guy, but I may punch Rob Manfred right in the (expletive) nose and spatter his (expletive) nose all over his (expletive) face right in the lobby of your hotel.

“And these coaches now, they’re not coaching. All they do is babysit. They’re glorified babysitters with a pension. And you have a nerd in the manager’s position because it doesn’t take anything to manage. You can get an idiot off the street to manage. It’s all numbers. They get the lineup card from the front office, bring in seven or eight relievers in, and the game comes to a grinding halt."
Re: The Shift

“I can’t believe the things I’m seeing when I try to watch a game,’’ Gossage says. “Look at all of the shifting going on. They are giving you a free base, and you’re not going to take it? What kind of baseball is this? I remember we shifted on Boog Powell one series. He bunted like five times straight for hits. We stopped shifting."

I can get with this. I have said it all along. If some fricktard like Joey Gallo wants to bat .210 when the defense is giving him half the field, that is just asinine.

Aside from wanting to knock Manfred the frick out, pretty much.

Can you retroactively have a favorite player from an era you never saw?
That may be the case for me now

The Goose played baseball in a time when men were men.

He’s………not wrong.
Of the major sports, baseball’s popularity has suffered the most at the hands of analytics.

THANK YOU
The way they play the ballgame now is so stupid that it's beyond words.

It's like players are too proud to do that now...makes no sense.

People need to remember Entertainment is 1st and foremost with Sports. Does it really matter if you win if nobody cares? Easy fix is require a pitcher face “x” number of hitters before he can be replaced unless there is an injury (if an injury then he can’t play for “x” games). Problem solved.

His awesome moustache won't hurt either.

C’mon shel, point out where he’s wrong.

If not, never post about baseball again. Doesn't your brain hurt?

It's all about the "launch angle" baby. In the 80's we called that an uppercut swing, and if you kept doing it you'd find your butt on the bench.
