Coaching Connections - ALCS Teams and the Dodgers

PrintCongratulations to the Texas Rangers for vanquishing the vaunted New York Yankees in six games in the ALCS and for gaining their first-ever World Series berth. Here's a belated look at the connections of the coaches of both the winners and the losers of the ALCS to the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.
Rangers
In the offseason before the 1977 season, Ron Washington (manager) was obtained by the Dodgers from the Royals in exchange for minor-league catcher Steve Patchin. Washington made his major-league debut with LA that season and hit .368 / .400 / .368 in his only 20 plate appearances in Dodger blue. In spring training 1979, the Dodgers parted ways with Washington, exchanging him for Minnesota minor-league infielder Wayne Caughey.
Mike Maddux (pitching) bookended the 1990s decade with Los Angeles, hurling for them in both 1990 and 1999. He twice signed with LA as a free agent, but the second time was after an April release by the Montreal Expos. With the Dodgers he posted a 1-2 record with a 4.18 ERA (100 ERA+).
Third-base coach Dave Anderson was supposed to be Bill Russell's replacement at SS after being the Dodgers first round draft pick in 1981 from the University of Memphis and was indeed the starter at that position in 1984, but never hit enough to hold down the job. His career Dodger line was .242 / .312 / .318 (79 OPS+), which covered two stints with LA; he spent two years in purgatory between those two Dodger turns. In 2006, Anderson worked for the Dodgers as the Minor League Infield Coordinator.
Ranger coaches without direct Dodger tie-ins: Clint Hurdle (bench), Gary Pettis (first base), Jackie Moore (bench - this is Moore's fourth different time coaching in Texas), Andy Hawkins (bullpen), Johnny Narron (coach).
Yankees
Mike Harkey, the New York bulpen coach, finished his playing career in 1997 in a Dodger uniform, collecting one victory with a 4.18 ERA in 14 2/3 innings, after spending all of 1996 in Albuquerque following signing a free agent contract with Los Angeles.
Joe Girardi (manager), Kevin Long (batting), Dave Eiland (erstwhile pitching coach), Mick Kelleher (first base), Rob Thomson (third base - I'm glad a guy named Bobby Thomson doesn't have a Dodger connection), and Tony Pena (bench) all lack a direct connection to the Dodgers.
Thanks as always to thebaseballcube.com and baseball-reference.com.

The Irvine company built a bunch of high rise apartments off of Jamboree and they’re trying to get the Irvine School District to take any families that live in there. Irvine’s saying fuck off and go to Santa Ana, and they’re panicking over that.
Those high rises are friggin stupid
Why anyone would want to live off jamboree or in the business area right there near the airport is beyond me. Not to mention the prices are so goddamn high.

You can actually rent a home in Irvine for $1800 right now, and that’s like 4 or 5 bedrooms.
If you’re a young professional living in Irvine, that’s a better deal than an apartment in one of the high rises.

It is the 21st century
so say what you want, but for those of us stuck in the 70’s idea of the LA basin, that is not the South Bay. I have not lived there since 1985, and actually that was Lomita, so not since 1979 (pre college days) so what the heck do I know.

A few weeks back
I filled my tank with a gas card and there was about a$1.50 left on it. As I was just about to leave, a dude walked up and used the “trying to collect change to get gas for his car routine”. I handed him the card and said there was still about a buck and a half on it, so that should help. To his credit, he did take it. Wonder if he managed to sell it to someone else for 75 cents.

That seems low. The park has been pushing 65,000 in attendance in recent weekends. I can’t wait for February to come back around. It brings my two favorite occurances: pitchers and catchers reporting, and an empty Disneyland.

Adult Night at Disneyland would probably get the park shut down.
They just had Adult Night. It was called Glow Fest.

There are no admission fees to the hotels
It’s less than 5 hours of driving for me (2 hours to Disneyland). I usually get my rooms comped. The food is much better. There is booze. There are women dressed to kill. This is a no-brainer for me.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I don’t get how that happens. I go to Vegas, gamble for 5 hours, and don’t get any offers for comped anything.

First get
a card.
Then if you are a blackjack player, craps, generally get chips at that table usually at least 200 at a time.
Then bet $25 per game for about 3-4 hours to get rated.
Yeah I just play blackjack. Won like 300 bucks in 5 hours. Figured they’d want to comp me something to come back and lose all of it back.
I don't always walk, but when I do, it's into Mordor.
$5 bets
won’t get you much if anything.
Again, the key is to always cash in at the table. If you bring chips with you, they don’t count unless you start betting quarters.
How many hands per hour at a typical 21 table?
I would think $5 table for 6 hours each night for two nights might get you something.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
The key is to notice when the pit boss makes his rounds, and increase your bet. If he or she does a quick check, they will assume that is your average play, which will increase your comp.

Do other table players
hate waiting for you to get rated, or does that go super fast?
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
The only time-consuming thing is the initial cashing in and giving your card to the dealer. The pit boss will come by and enter the info, and it doesn’t really disrupt play.

Ok, but
last time I went to Vegas, my friend Andrew split 10’s, got 10’s on each of those 10’s, split those, and won a 200 hand when the dealer busted.
I don't always walk, but when I do, it's into Mordor.
Splitting 10s is a really bad mathematical play, but you are only hurting yourself, on average.
People always get pissed off when people make “bad” plays because of the subsequent cards, but in reality it’s all just based on odds and didn’t affect their play.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 25, 2010 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes but
you realize you are sitting at a table with stupid people, which is a drag.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
If the guy in the 6 hole splits 10’s and takes 2 more 10’s and the dealer hits on 15 and pulls a 4. Yeah for the guy in the six hole. But the other 5 players may have stayed with 12 because of the 10 in the hole theory and said 6 hole player might have fucked everyone else at the table.
Stupid guy
could also shift the deck into the players’ favor too. That is all a wash at the end of the day.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
Yeah
the dealer was showing 6 so he decided to go for it and got lucky. Dealer turned J K and he won.
he knew it was a dumb move, but we decided to drive to Vegas at 10pm so it was probably 6am by the time this play happened. We left LA Live at 10pm, got to Vegas around 2a, gambled until 5, walked to Paris for breakfast, walked back to Tropicana and gambled until noon and left. We were just hoping for a room because we had been up for so long.
I don't always walk, but when I do, it's into Mordor.
Also
pick the hotel you like to stay at and gamble at, get their card, and only gamble within their chain. If you do this right, the vast majority of your cost is the bankroll you bring.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.

@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
The FIBA rules is different than NBA...
So you need much time to score two or three points, and the defense is stronger than in NBA…
By example in French League, some teams will score between 75 and 80 PPG… I forget one thing: they play 40 minutes instead of 48 minutes in FIBA rules…
Louise Bourgoin: The hottest French actress I've ever seen <3
40 vs. 48 is the biggest difference
80 points in 40 minutes is 2 ppts/min, or 96 in a 48 minute game.
I doubt defense is stronger in Europe; I think they call less fouls in Europe and let defenses be more physical, but I am guessing.

I think the writers did a poor job of setting up why that guy was the bad guy and showing his motivation to be the bad guy.

He is just a good not great QB
who is overrated because he plays for the Cowboys. Eli on the other hand I would say is actually underrated.

Manchester United of Course!!!!
Or my favorite team: Paris Saint Germain!!
Louise Bourgoin: The hottest French actress I've ever seen <3
Yeah!!!!!!
Good news about PSG, they played very well in the recent weeks…
They were on 8 games without a defeat (Ligue 1 and Europa League) but they lost last Sunday against AJ Auxerre, a team who played in Euorpean Champion’s League in the group features Milan AC, Real Madrid and Ajax Amsterdam…
I was a little bit frustrated because they took the lead in the 1st minute with a superb goal by Nene (my favrorite PSG player, a real brazilian artist) but they allowed 3 goals in 20 minutes by misplaying in the defense, espacially the left back Tiene who forgot to secure its zone against the speedy Oliech…
Good reaction in the 2nd half since they played better than the previous half, another goal by Nene who is the goelador of Ligue 1 with 7 goals already…
I hope this defeat could wake up them…
For Keithc13.
Next Ligue 1 match: Sunday 31st against Montpellier on FSC Plus and on Sunday 7th against Marseille, this is the biggest match of the year, it looks like FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid, a great rivalry between them for so many decades…

I think Mike Piazza is the best catcher of all time. I was really saddened when he was traded by NewsCorp in 1999 as a negotiation tactic with the other free agents. He would have been the next Dodgers retired number.
Haha idiot! Piazza was traded in 1998 not 1999!

The Town

Hereafter

I paid $6 to get into each one.
Of course that was the morning screening, but that was cool. We saw Hereafter at like 10:00 am then walked to Fuddruckers for lunch. Fuddruckers was overrated; I tried the buffalo burger, it was ok.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
And I believe at least two of the three were
digital projection.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Inception.
This is just purely a social call. You know, just two adults getting a stew on, man.
The Town was surprisingly very good
Though I am a pretty big Ben Afflack fan.

He was ok in it. The rest of the cast was pretty good. Blake Lively played the trashy townie!

Blake Lively was awful in that movie, but i’m not sure if it was just her or if she really was supposed to be that bad, almost unbelievable as a human being, lol.
Let me list some movies where I like Ben Afflack:
Reindeer Games
Daredevil
Paycheck
Pearl Harbor (absolutely love this movie)
Dogma
Forces Of Natures
Armageddon
I also just saw that he was an uncredited fan in Fenway in Field Of Dreams.

His career high before that was 86 which was the year before that

You say that like it compares at all to Eli Manning’s QB rating. A 3.85 ERA is pretty damn good overall.

Nothing like that, really. Broxton was good, then great, then excellent, then shitty. Eli was just shitty, then ok, then good, and for one season great, now just having another good season. I think he will get worse as the season goes on, but that’s a feeling I’ve got.
I also felt the Packers would be better than 4-3, the Bengals would have more than 2 wins, and the Chargers would be competitive, lol.

Manny had a left groin hernia last season
Ramirez had discomfort in the groin during most of the season, but decided to wait until the end of the season to be operated on.
“I was never one hundred percent but I wanted to play,” Ramirez said.
“The doctors told me not to perform any baseball activities for six weeks, which means I have to wait until mid-November to start my winter training,” Ramirez said.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
if he had it during the season, I wonder if we could have gotten more than 3.8mil back for him from the insurance company. I wonder if the White Sox knew about it. I wonder if they knew about and traded for him anyway.
I don't always walk, but when I do, it's into Mordor.
I don’t even know how many contracts, especially big ones, are insured anymore. Even then, most payouts would require a total disability, like even more missed time than Manny had in 2010
