outside of a few teams I don't think attendance is a huge concern

Announcers were hammering on "old" Utley throughout the game, even before he struck out in his big moment, despite the fact that only three other Dodgers, presumably all younger, were able to scratch out a hit vs. Arrieta.

Chase's best medicine might be arriving soon... that short right field at Yankee Stadium

Agree

Although hopefully the Phillies are interesting enough next year that more of us watch baseball and our MLB random thoughts thread fills up faster

I wonder if he gets another job. Random fact: He's managed the NL MVP six times: Bonds 3x, Kent, Votto, Harper.

I'm gonna love it when the Nationals sour grapes comes out a year from now when they disclose Harper said Dusty had to go as a demand only for him to leave anyway.
