  1. He's a switch eater.
  2. 57? Are you not counting leap years?
  3. You really need to smoke a joint and chill out broski. Join our super chill community and stop with the victim act.
  4. I will be an ageist until I am an old fart myself, besides, you totally get seniior discounts. And new guy's the one being super pretentious. He should let down his guard a little bit.
  5. The 70+ guys sticking together....I like it! Us young 'uns with the functioning penises and non-achey joints will band together as well! I know I'm being ageist again, but I will enjoy my time until I get to be your age and have to endure prostate exams (unless you actually enjoy that in which case, more power to you)
  6. So many strikeouts. So many balls. Pomeranz is the type of guy that if an org can help him harness his command.....youwza!
  7. No, you're just very unlikeable. Lots of newbies here have opinions and don't come off as terribly as you do. Chill out, and be a bit more pleasant.
  8. They couldn't all be pleasant people.
  9. Since when does the bench coach have a say in final managing decisions? That's not how managing works. Also bro, get off that high horse. Your arguments aren't that compelling. They are, however, very pretentious.
  10. What you think, and what the evidence says are two entirely different things. Besides, prospects are about potential, not current ability.
  11. Your defense of an "idea" means very little to me. While the Castillo point is very much valid, trying to deflect the blame of Farrell's decision onto Lovullo is intelectually dishonest, and shows a general agreement with the fact that Young's deployment has at least been sub-optimal. You can't have it both ways. Saying that managers have a wealth of information is correct, but they do offer explanations for their decisions (in Farrell's case, he wanted to get Young AB's) and when they do, and it's stupid, we get to call them out. This is a forum for baseball discussion. If I want to criticize the manager's decision, I will, because I can. Trying to invalidate my opinion with platitudes gets the discussion nowhere.
  12. Dojji says that is All-Star level production at 2B.
  13. The offensive bar for 2B in the AL is pretty high with Pedroia, Kinsler, Cano et al.
  14. Look at your signature. You wil do as I say, or risk never getting on the Rivera Hwy
  15. He's fine as a lefty masher and defensive replacement. I am no way, shape or form saying he was a bad signing, I am saying he has not been deployed correctly.
  16. All-Star level? You're clearly one for hyperbole. Starting level? You betcha.
  17. It's not grouchiness. There's only one moderator here and he's not on all the time, so some self-policing is needed. Avoiding forum clutter has always been a big thing to a lot of people around here. He could have added some tact to the post though, on that we agree.
  18. I'm quite confused. What exactly do you mean here? Dickey actually won the NL Cy in 2012, right before the Jays traded for him.
  19. Dickey was coming off a Cy-Young season though. His advanced age should have been reason for concern however.
  20. If that kid can get some fastball command, he could be really good. That CB/changeup combo is so good.
  21. His swinging strike percentages and outside contact percentages are career worsts across the board so far.
  22. Yet the first player the Phillies asked for last year in any trade negotiations for Cole Hamels was Blake Swihart, by name. The Sox hung up the phone.
  23. His BABIP is .314 and his HR/FB is 11.4%. There is literally not a single redeeming factor in Buchholz' underlying numbers.
  24. That's because it IS old and worn down. Rodriguez is over 40, Beltran and Horseface are on the wrong side of 30, injuries have taken their toll on Ellsbury's body (he can still go, but his power has all but evaporated), Headley can't buy an XBH (well, a hit) and Gregorious has never hit much. That leaves you wit McCann, Gardner and Castro. Not a good offensive nucleus by any means. Worry not though, as the weather warms up, more balls will fly out of that joke of a RF and the offense will be revitalized somewhat (but still suck). In the meantime, this is fantastic. Suck away!
