This certainly would explain a lot.

That Anderson all star announcement may have said a lot. Where there is smoke there usually is fire.

Nightengale as the source. Pfffffft.

[KenBerryGrab]

Jerry/Kenny deflecting blame from LaRussa/Hahn. Cheap and sad.

If clubhouse discord was the cause of poor play, Oakland would never have won three World Series in a row. Nightengale stirring the pot, but ultimately, a non-story.

Yep. Nightengale may as well be Jerry's minister of truth.

To me, clubhouse discord is an indictment of the manager. Maybe we both need to see the optometrist. Although, "people are saying" is not the most reliable source.

Happy hearsay day. This upside down season fits your observation. Time was when…, but I’m just a bitter old fart.

There was no dissention or discord among the A's players in those years, they were united as a team with their discord directed at owner Charles Finley. They knew that they were a good team and won despite Finley.

There sure wasn't a lot of excitement in the clubhouse when the announcement was made, it was more like a wake at a funeral home.

You got it Nell. Those guys took great pride in winning in spite of the machinations of Finley and his shenanigans. That was one of the heartbreaks of the early 70’s. Losing to a team you expected to implode at any time, but those bastards acting like a band of brothers walking through a mine field.

As big as a jerk Charlie O. was you have to give him credit for building that cast of characters.

If you don’t think team chemistry matters a ton in the most team centered sport that exists, you have no clue.

Without a doubt.

I've always wondered if winning leads to great chemistry or great chemistry leads to winning. Kind of a classic chicken & egg question.

I also give no credence to a sourceless twitter report of bad juju in the Sox clubhouse.
