  1. Meh, never liked him as closer.
  2. Some of you are missing the point. It's easy to make acquisitions when it's not your money. As much as they claim otherwise this ownership cares about the bottom line, as they should. It's also worth noting that repeat luxury tax offenders also suffer draft capital losses and not only straight financial ones. Saying that it's a good idea to build a sustainable contender in no way diminishes the value of a championship. But the more you make the playoffs the more chances you have at winning rings. All that being said, f*** Matt Barnes.
  3. So if you don't win a WS your greatness as an executive can't be recognized? Ok.
  4. CERA is a really bad stat.
  5. We are old, that is true.
  6. They can if you use the right evaluation method. Leave them alone, and have a drink. It'll calm your nerves.
  7. It's an art, not a science.
  8. This is a good point.
  9. It probably is. But it could be worse. Them's the breaks.
  10. True, which is why we try to use large samples for better context. But your point about tensing up is a good one. My mom's old timey "boyfriend" was an international level softball pitcher, and he's explained this to me many times. It's anecdotal, but it's logically sound: A lot of the times, he could see some good hitters tense and grip their bat like they were a Yankees fan trying to choke out Boone up in clutch situations. The occasion was rare when they wouldn't pop up a changeup because they were so anxious to get the ball out of the park.
  11. Not even a question. I was referring to the love of somewhat unheralded prospects.
  12. Quick question: Is notin the new Dojji?
  13. Speak for yourself. I'm extremely immature.
  14. Ah, some things never change.
  15. I have two toddlers and post-covid neuropathy. How do you think? Just....bruh.
  16. For the record, Houck is very similar stuff and delivery-wise to Chris Sale, and there's a reason the Chisox brought him along the way they did. Houck needs a lot more reps at the ML level before he can get his stuff under enough control to pitch three times through an order.
  17. I'm too old for this.
  18. They should have acquired a quality arm at the deadline. This rotation barely gives the team any innings. It's common sense that the bullpen would eventually wear down as a unit.
  19. I don't know what that is.
  20. I also think this team could and should have done more at the deadline.
  21. I named neither of my kids "Kiké" for this same reason. They would be bullied.
  22. I hate everything and everyone equally. It's balanced speech.
