    Those of us who called it were right, so it turned out to not be a "no-brainer". The fact that the trajectory of his career and durability was in steep decline was quite obvious. The "no-brainer" was to cut ties with him. The organization was just hoping that the obvious decline wasn't real.

    Well you confused me, because you were responding to my post. Despite the additional information at Cora's fingertips and his expert knowledge of the game, he so obviously screwed up that decision that us armchair types could notice.

    "Deserve has nothing to do with it." Unforgiven

    I am always game for sports contests. I can't get enough of them.
  5. a700hitter
    I think the Networks still value it.

    And the outcome was also a "no-brainer." He was never more than a half year pitcher when he was at his peak. His performance and durability had been declining for years. He was no longer a top pitcher when healthy. He had become an injury prone mediocre pitcher.

    Well you are strongly disagreeing with a notion that I never put forth. I didn't say that Cora doesn't know how to manage Knuckleballers. I said that they don't know how to coach them. With standard pitchers, they more easily spot mechanical flaws. That he was a knuckleballer had nothing to do with the management issue at hand in that game. He clearly wasn't tired in that game. The issue was that the game was blowing up and he was ineffective. Anyone could see that. Cora had no special insight as you claim. He wasn't going to go out to the mound and tell him to adjust his grip on the ball, because he had no idea why his pitches were hanging like pinatas. He made a very poor management decision and that was obvious.

    Mods, I urge you to check out Hitch's body of posts. You guys do a great job, and I trust your judgment on this, but it might be worth a quick audit.

    Whether or not the reporter knew Hanley was irrelevant to the point of my post -- a point with which you agree — that the reporting was shoddy. Yet, you have seized on an irrelevancy and tried to pin it on me as a lie when it was the reporters own story. She said "I don't know baseball." As with most of your posts they fail to address the point being discussed, and this time you have outdone yourself by being wrong about the irrelevancy that you are discussing. Now piss off you stupid troll.

    Because that was the point of my post that you addressed— that the reporting was knee jerk and irresponsible. In the original report, the writer said that she didn’t know baseball, but she knew crime. Whether or not she knew knew Hanley, the reporting was knee jerk and irresponsible. If she didn’t know who Hanley was, that would make her more irresponsible for not checking it out. The point of my post was about the shoddy reporting, and my so called “lie” was not my lie at all. It was based on the writer’s initial account. But you might have known that if you put a little more effort into thinking and reading than trolling.

    So, you disagree with my opinion that the initial reporting of the incident was unfair poor journalism?
  12. a700hitter
    Troll.

    I am glad Kimmi isn’t watching the Yankee game tonight. David Cone is on a rant sermonizing about random variance in baseball. If she heard him, she might become a Yankee fan or send Cone a fan letter.
  14. a700hitter
    My answer to your question is no, and f*** off.
  15. a700hitter
    But he is fast — faster guy in the majors while carrying a laptop in each hand.
  16. a700hitter
    I didn’t even realize that that was you. LOL!

    I understand that the guy wants some friends from his home country and I am also sure that there are lots of Dominicans in the Boston area that work hard at unglamorous jobs that would love to be friends with their famous countryman, but he chose the company of a dirtbag drug dealer. He is responsible for his choices.

    I looked back over the thread. Who prejudged his guilt on this? Even Harmony who was trolling the issue because the “Option” issue is finally settled did not prejudge his guilt.
  19. a700hitter
    I must have missed that.
  20. a700hitter
    some thought it was a “no-brainer.”
  21. a700hitter
    Who could have predicted this? See you in 2019, Clay.
  22. a700hitter
    Let's not prejudge Hanley's stupidity. LOL!!
  23. a700hitter
    If it is a meaningless game there is no getting the selections right. It is a showcase. Give the fans what they want.

    I didn't say anything about competitiveness. Where did you get that. What is lacking is the number of leagues for women to compete. There just aren't that many women's leagues for women in their 30's plus.
  25. a700hitter
    No one hear prejudged his guilt. Maybe elsewhere, but not here. He was ensnared in the matter. There is no side-stepping that. That doesn't mean that he is guilty.
