    Exactly. To many, your last 2-3 years tell more about what level player you are than career numbers. Monty has been almost equal to Bassett in almost all of the most meaningful categories except wins and losses.

    Who said or implied “all of a sudden?”
  3. moonslav59
    I wasn’t critizing you for giving up on the Sox, so bringing up how I did in 22 is not related to my point that you ran away and called baseball watered down at just the moment the Sox were doing well. You came back just in time to pat yourself on the back and continue your “eye test” judgments despite admitting g you stopped watching. We did not say you stopped watching: you did. You then commented on the fact that you saw the box scores. It’s your own words.

    I give content and strive to not misrepresent others views. You don’t. More facts.

    I watched every game in 22, even after I wanted a fire sale. Witnesses, lmao. You left right when we were doing well and came back right when we sucked. I admit when I’m wrong, which has been often- to your delight. I’ll never see the same from you, and that is a fact.

    My prediction was wrong. I found it funny you ran away when it looked like it might be right. I stayed when I was wrong. FYI, I don’t make trades onBTV to try and guess one that will come true. Once again, your assumptions are off base. I often fiddle around and submit some trades I would not sven like, but to just see what it might take to get a player mentioned by someone else. If I like a player from another team, I look at what return value it might take to get him. I feel it’s better than just saying” we need to trade for an ace,” without giving some kind of specific return package. Making general claims line that are hard to ever get wrong. Keep Patti g yourself on the back for being right about the Sox. Keep running away when you look to be wrong. Keep bashing fans that try to be optimistic and stick around through good and bad. Those are facts, too.

    How often do you watch a full Sox game, closely? How often do you watch non Sox games in their entirety or otherwise? Has that changed much, recently, after the league became too overwhelmingly “watered down” to watch? Should we trust your recent eye test judgments as much as the days you watched more baseball? Do you think it was just a coincidence that you made the watered down comment and stopped watching baseball for a while at tge precise moment the Sox we’re doing pretty well?
  8. moonslav59
    I wasn’t referring to that. You responded to my post about him being a top 12-15 pitcher and being almost as good as anyone.
  9. moonslav59
    You claimed you stopped watching watered down MLB. Your eye test does nothing for me, nor do blind squirrels on broken clicks. It’s S simple as that.
  10. moonslav59
    The one from behind home plate is often used and many times will have the CFer in the frame at the crack of the bat. On plays where a slow or bad break is made, a replay from a better angle is sometimes shown. True that no eyesight test can make definitive conclusions on slow break propensities, though. The thing about eye test, to me, is that when someone say player A is a great defender, it takes on a comparative context to others at his position. Nobody watches every play made or missed by all 30 positional players.
  11. moonslav59
    Many have said “near meaningless,” especially on team stats like wins and losses. Forget the links: just name one poster out of the “many.”
  12. moonslav59
    The goalpost always moves.
  13. moonslav59
    Nice of you to call an end to the subject. I hope Monty is the second best SPer we add, this winter. Monty would be as good or better than half the teams in MLB have, IMO.
  14. moonslav59
    Provide links… many of them.
  15. moonslav59
    He’s top 12-15, IMO. Top 30 does not mean they are “all that good?” Talk about a STRETCH!
  16. moonslav59
    Yes. I said top 12-15 in MLB. Top 3-6 in FAs. He is not top 3-6 in MLB but is close to anyone in the top 7-20.
  17. moonslav59
    No love for Anthony, who has shown more success thanBleis?
  18. moonslav59
    I should scream in caps like you: nobody says W-Ls or BA are useless. Just not as meaningful as you do. Your eye test, which translates to looking at box scores is the closest to meaningless of the 3 listed.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, that’s why I added your point that W-Ls are NOT everything. You said it is important but not everything.
  20. moonslav59
    About as good as the top 12-15 pitchers in MLB, and top 3-6 of pitchers that are FAs, this year. Wow, what a stretch! I’m
  21. moonslav59
    He’s a top 30 pitcher in MLB, easily. To me, that makes him a#1 SP. You value wins more than I. I value the last 3 years much more than career numbers. You may disagree, but I’ve been pretty consistent with my criteria. Last 3 years, 500 + IP, Monty places 12 fWAR (1.5 above Bassitt) 12 ERA- (just 1 below Bassitt) 13 xFIP (15 IP less thanCB) 15 K-BB% (just behind CB’s rate) 17 IP (0.17 better than CB) Most of the stats I like show he is about equal to Bassitt. If I drop the IP to 300, here are the fWAR rankings of the FAs, this year: 4. Nola 12. Ohtani 17. Monty 18. Gray 19. Snell 22. Kershaw 30. Bassitt 40. ERod
  22. moonslav59
    Let me guess: it’s the 39-14 record, although W-Ls are not everything.
  23. moonslav59
    Ive said who I like many times. One more time: 1. Yamamoto- 25 years old makes him the best dice roll. 2. Montgomery- no lost draft pick and has been about as good as almost anyone the last 3 years. 3. Gray- lose the pick, but short terms deals lessen the risk. Ohtani- too expensive. Snell- lost draft pick, walks too many batters and too expensive.
  24. moonslav59
    Yes, and how did they get there?
  25. moonslav59
    Hundreds of times: too funny.
