  1. And his cadre of burner accounts assuring us that all is well.
  2. I have no idea what you are saying half the time. But I do know that you are never wrong, even when you say contradictory things. That's why I asked.
  3. Are you suggesting that Grissom has the same up-side as Sale??
  4. I've been doing the same with Ohtani, Betts, Yamamoto, ... I feel the same way.
  5. I especially like the "continue" part ...
  6. So the problem was when they extended the term to fly balls? where the notion that a batter can attempt to hit a fly out rather than, say, an off-the-wall double, is absurd. But equally absurd is the notion that a batter is rewarded for 'trying' to make an out w/ a bunt, or that the scorer is some mind-reader who can determine intent. (I believe there was a chapter in MONEYBALL critiquing the whole moral impetus behind the concept of 'sacrifice', no?).
  7. Ha ha! All of which he will face if he signs with the RS.
  8. Did Teddy have any bunts? Where the dumb-ass scoring rule is that if you TRY to get out while moving the runner up, it's a sacrifice, but if you TRY to get a hit while moving the runner up, it's an out. That is idiotic. (Why not, then, for sac flies? THAT doesn't count as a sac fly because CLEARLY he was trying to get a home run).
  9. Are you high?
  10. Totally agree. Wonder who was behind the hype? (Agents wanting more? Or owners wringing their hands about how unfairly they are treated and how impoverished they are? -- I suspect the latter.) (then again, maybe it was just bored fans making sh*t up!)
  11. You mean, they need to make others "perceive" something that is not the case?
  12. Ah yes! The memories! Those were teh days. As for economic 'realities', there are no such things; the phrase is generally used by rich people explaining why poor people have to suffer.
  13. Yup. But brace yourself for the response of the 'fantasy-GM' crowd who will sternly remind you of the economic 'realities' (i.e., 'fantasies') of team ownership.
  14. Yup. The Red Sox way: when a guy gets good, trade him.
  15. Watching Bogaerts and Betts yakking away in today's game was painful to watch.
  16. No need. There are those who do that here unprompted.
  17. I thought that was Doc Ellis.
  18. I think he should look up the meaning of parameter.
  19. Liam Freakin' Hendricks, baby! We don't need no stinkin' closer. (at least, once he recovers from his 15th TJ surgery next year maybe). Two-year contract, but he won't play this year.
  20. Yup. And every free agent agrees to sign for the minimum, and all the prospects are above average ...
  21. Well, I guess as far as kids' entertainment is concerned, I distinguish 'cheating' (which doesn't really bother me) from things like 'kidnapping teenagers for sex and photographing them' (proven or not), 'masturbating in public', 'S&M sessions with hookers', assaults over fantasy sports. But that's just me. (I should also add: 'filthy rich CEOs holding their customers in contempt while stealing more money from them')
  22. Hey! I SWEAR these allegations are false (well, at least the one about the UFO).
  23. Dude, he is 'not guilty', i.e., 'not proven to be guilty in a courtroom.' Does that mean he, McGuire, Tommy Pham, etc. are the guys you want your kids to idolize? Are those the guys whose athletic careers you want to follow and whom you want to cheer for?
  24. https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-news-trevor-bauer-dares-clubs-sign-him-near-godfather-offer I guess this is old news? Just saw it. But it makes me very very nervous.
  25. I'm really surprised the FO burner accounts are spending so much bandwidth defending players who are not even on the team.
