    I talk to my ex-wife everyday. We are really good friends still. Our kids are multi-lingual and each speak two languages (although my daughter is on her third). Their mother speaks 7 different languages, she worked in the courts as an interpreter. I was literally married to an interpreter. I would like to think I at least kind of know what the ffff I'm talking about here. Saying that things don't get lost in translation is just absurdly Ludacris to me but more importantly it's not about what we heard It's about what HE heard, and I don' think many people are considering that at all. What position are you going to play, can turn into what position do you like playing very quickly. "he said what he said" carries a completely different context when you can understand things get lost in transition sometimes. I think Raffy is just going to tell us he's playing 3B until the team tells him otherwise and that's fine I honestly can't believe people give a s***. No one is talking about this down at the Fort because literally no one else cares except us fans. His teammates are talking about it because they don't care. No one cares because it's a NOTHING BURGER!!!!

    Yup, I can't help you.

    LMFAO I honestly can't tell if you're just not getting this or if you're messing with me. Not only did I not say that he didn't say that, I explicitly came back and said that I didn't say that. Kind of ironic for you to say that and take this position. What I said was "things get lost in transition." If you can't understand the difference I can't help you.

    Bun, lettuce, tomotato, some cheese, maybe a little onion, the special sauce, and whole lotta NOTHING

    Oh second point to playing telephone. You just said "You can claim the translator doesn't know spanish all you want" But you see, that's not what I said. I didn't say he didn't know spanish but that's how you took it. Now think about that and add in the layer of going from one language to the next. That's what happens when you speak through an interpreter and then someone writes a story about it. But again, all he said was "I play 3B" which is true, up until now he has played 3B for more than 1/2 a decade. Until the team explicitly tells him otherwise why should answer that question any differently?
  6. Hugh2
    Didn't you ever play telephone as a kid?

    That came out of his mouth? or the translators mouth? you know translations aren't always perfect, and tone among other things get lost in translation as well. He might of been referring to me as being a Jagoffasaurus, But back to your point where "he" stated "I am the 3B' I go back to my point. If no one has told him he's not the 3B anymore then he is the 3B. He's truthfully answering the question in his head.

    I see what you did there lol however I have heard that there are people who see LF in Campbells future.

    When you break it down and think about it, if people understand this what are they essentially angry at? They're effectively angry that Raffy doesn't share their "feelings" and doesn't immediately jump for joy at the prospect of moving position before he's even asked. The type of mentality I want in my PROFESSIONAL Athletes are guys who don't want to move off of the position they play ever. Now, I expect them to do so once asked if it's in the best interest of the team. But I want them to want their position....even if they suck at it. That's the bulldog thought process I want in my pro atheltes.
  11. Hugh2
    Especially if he moves to DH I don't want that boy to lose one single pound. Not all athletes are built the same.
  12. Hugh2
    Exactly! so how should he react to be asked questions that were formed in such a way that something has happened that as far as he was concerned didn't happen yet? People who actually speak spanish and watched the interview say that the tone from Devers was one that was only upset because he seemed annoyed with the line of questioning. It's LITERALLY.....a nothing burger. Or I suppose we should call it a "It's nothing yet, maybe it will be something but some people think it's something because the media loves what the media loves" burger....with Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and cheese.
  13. Hugh2
    OMG dude🤦‍♂️. There's a difference between not wanting to move off a position and refusing to move off a position. No one should have issue with the former.
  14. Hugh2
    If the Sox decide to play Bregman at 3rd, and they tell Devers he's moving and he acts this way that is 100% a different story. That is wrong, he deserves strife, and that's a troubling issue. BUT THAT IS NOT the case, and the media has spun the issue to make it look so. Some swallowed it, some did not.
  15. Hugh2
    No, I'm saying some people are a sucker for a headline and have zero ability to comprehend what really happen. The team never spoke to Devers about moving off position, up until now they've told him he's the 3rd baseman or at least up until that press conference. If you were being interviewed by the media and were asked about being fired when no one told you that you were fired you might be a little confused and angry as well. There's a difference between Devers saying "I'm the 3rd baseman" when the team NEVER told him otherwise vs. "I'm the 3rd baseman" when the team told him he was moving. Let me repeat that. There's a difference between saying "I'm playing third base" when the team tells you you're moving vs. if they' have NOT told you. We know they didn't tell him, we know he acted exactly like someone would have if they have not of had that conversation. For all you and everyone else knows, the moment they sit down with him and tell him he's going to move his next comments in a press conference very well may be "I'm going to do what's best for the team" people are mad at him for not saying that based on him not knowing it and tha'ts just stupidly absurd. The media served it up with the spin that he's reluctant to move off of position when in fact we didn't know what conversations were and were not had. You got played....and you swallowed it whole. I'm impressed actually.
  16. Hugh2
    Actually it was translated. So it was LITERALLY NOT out of his mouth
  17. Hugh2
    Some of us where yes, I believe you were among the sane with me. Others are going to have strong opinions for a lifetime all based on a headline.
  18. Hugh2
    No....it really was. The media served up a big o plate of nothing and some of ya'll swallowed it
  19. Hugh2
    the last few days have pretty much confirmed what I thought was obvious. The whole Devers 3B thing was a nothing burger.
  20. Hugh2
    Chris Sale had an ERA- of 57 last year....he must be like, really awful.
  21. Hugh2
    I actually saw Kristian Campbell play SS when he was down in Portland. Unfortunately, he never really had a chance to do anything other than make a routine play, but for what it's worth he made every single one. He played 36 games at both SS and 2nd last year, after that he played 25 games in CF, 5 at 3B and 16 times he was the DH.
  22. Hugh2
    Ok, well...replace shove with MASH!!!
  23. Hugh2
    Agreed, they have other options as well. A lot depends on how long Story would be out. They'd plug Hamilton or Gonzalez there, but I don't see them playing every day long term. There's also a scenario where Rafaela plays. There's a world where Mayer just shoves in spring training and Story goes down with a series injury. I still think in 999 out of 1,000 scenarios that doesn't involve injury to a starting position player Campbel/Anthony come up sooner.
  24. Hugh2
    He's in the system a lot longer because he was drafted out of highschool. Also, you can't compare prospect timelines apples to apples, people progress at their own pace. While injury has probably delayed Mayers progression it's still very real, he doesn't automatically regain a full year of development on opening day. Campbell has jumped ahead of Mayer on the MLB readiness timeline.
  25. Hugh2
    So you're saying "Yoshida" was blocking those guys lol. That's rubbish. Somebody always gets hurt. There's going to be some out for you. But if Mayer is the first one up as you say, and Campbell would play 2nd because Yoshida got hurt why not shift Story to 2nd and just call up Mayer instead of Campbell?. You won't be able to explain that one away.
