  1. Admitting I was wrong is pasting myself on the back? Rhetorical question. Look it up.
  2. It's "You weren't," not "You wasn't," and I don't have to be "in the conversation" to understand what posts mean. Man, your logic is twisted.
  3. More strawmen. You're getting very good at it.
  4. You don't even know what you say.
  5. Still clueless, I see.
  6. It's obvious what he is saying. Maybe it's just your "interpretation that is wrong."
  7. I hope he leaves and serves them what they deserve, but I'd also like to see the Yanks break the budget to keep him.
  8. I have already said I was wrong. Why not try that on your Bogey statement of fact? English words have meaning. There is no other way to interpret a statement followed by "either." There is no "maybe" about it.
  9. Schwarber over Story was implied, but yes, I did say it wrongly. I didn't mean it that way. See how easy that is?
  10. bWAR disagrees: 3.3 Wacha 0.9 Hill 3.2 Bassitt 0.6 Syndergaard Pretty close.
  11. Newsflash: the shift goes away for everybody.
  12. it's not an interpretation. You said what you said. A simple, "I ddid not mean it that way." would have, at least, been a step in the right direction. Instead, you double and triple down on a very clear statement. The meaning is clear, If you did not intend it to mean that, then all you have to di is say so. It's not some deep and mysterious interpretation. Your statement clearly meant I do not like Bogey. Twist all you want to avoid an apology, but there is no other interpretation for what you said. Period.
  13. Nobody said no team, including the Sox doesn't want Schwarber. Back to strawman construction, again. Welcome back. We don't win enough more games with Schwarber over Story to make a difference. Yes.
  14. Way different circumstances and winter spending budgets.
  15. Signing Schwarber would not have made a difference in '22. Going forward, I'd rather have Story, anyway.
  16. Again, nobody cares.
  17. It's not what I think. It's what you wrote. If I say I don't like the Yanks or their manager either. I mean I dislike both. There is no other interpretation possible.
  18. Triple down. You obviously don't even know the simple meaning of either in that context. It means I do not like Bogey and I do not like his D, "either." Yes, I made an assumption that you hated Cora, and I still think it may be true, but I admitted I was wrong. You cling to your lies rather than admit you mikspoke or lied.
  19. Finally, you are right, Your Flintstone comment doesn't even matter. You'd think you'd get the hint when nobody bothered to ask what you meant by it..
  20. 2021 and 2022, actually.
  21. No, your logic is flawed, again. I said if you are saying Bloom wiffed, so did you. I do not view not out bidding Philly for Schwarber as a wiff. Had we traded JD, I'd have been fine with bringing him back. Having both JD and Schwarber on the 26 would have entailed an extremely complicated platoon and rotation set up to get everyone deserving 450+ PAs their 450+. Now, in hindsight, taking all of Dalbec's PASs would have been fine, but many here were disgusted by Schwarbers defense at 1B, last year. Maybe I missed it, but I never saw your admission of being wrong on KS.
  22. The pen looks better, but I'm not sure Syndergaard & Bassitt out pitch what we got from Wacha and Hill, so maybe we call that a slight upgrade while dreaming Sale and Bello deliver in '23. $30M to replace Bogey at SS and upgrade RF is really pushing it, and is basically projecting a decline in overall offense. Our catchers will not likely match Vaz on O. Our DH will likely fall short of .783, but may get close. It's easy to improve on our pathetic RF offense, but not so much the D. It's not easy to replace Bogey's O, but we may improve the D. Overall, you plan looks like a slight improvement that heavily depends on Sale, Bello, our current catchers, 1Bmen and DHs to perform well. It might be enough to keep us in playoff contention, depending on who we get for SS/CF and RF, and how well the 4 guys you named do. I'd like to bring back Bogey or another top SS or sign Nimmo for CF or RF, but I doubt we can do that after the 4 you'd have us sign.
  23. Words matter. You worded it to say I don't like Bogey, and then you added his D. It's not overanalyzing. It's taking your words to mean what they say. Out of all the bad things you had to say about Cora, I said you hated him. I'm still not sure you don't, but you never said it, and I apologized for assuming you did. You said I disliked Bogey, and that is totally false. We all know I dislike his defense at SS, although I have given him props for this year's improved D. I knew you'd never admit you made a mistake, even if just with your wording, but your statement means I dislike Bogey. It's not some deep over analyzation. It's simple English comprehension. It's tellin, you left off the word "either" from your quote. A very dishonest move. That word has meaning in English, and it is not any deep or nebulous meaning. You said I did not like Bogey, and his D EITHER. That clearly mean both. Own up! You can't even admit to a simple cop-out like, "Sorry, I worded that wrongly." Instead, you double down. Like I said, I know you will never apologize.
  24. What's the odds a Hosmer-Dalbec platoon at DH can match the .783 DH OPS we had, this year? I'd say it's pretty close to 50-50, but likely less than 50%. It may be close enough that we decide to spend, elsewhere. Also, at the deadline, it's easier to find a cheap DH than a cheap pitcher, SS or RF'er.
