    You still haven’t answered why Raffy doesn’t get a W-L next to his name after every game.
  2. Old Red
    This is hilarious that my opinion, and stance on Monty has bothered some so much. Either way it’s not going to change anything one way, or the other. When I show the gang at PF all these back, and forth tomorrow it will be another WTF, and what’s wrong with all you guys meaning me too, and another round at the kiddie table. Usually there is just one of you as the celebrity guess speaker, but there is more guest appearances in this version of romper room.
  3. Old Red
    No you are conflating my stance on W-L. I have said more than once today that lots of things go into a W-L of a pitcher.
  4. Old Red
    Level of competition would have to be factored in also.
  5. Old Red
    Call my opinion is absurd all you want, but that’s why your guy Bloom is gone, because of the W-L record, which mattered most in the here, and now, and not 2025.
  6. Old Red
    What does the eye test say? Very important.
  7. Old Red
    Why does some rankings rate Monty lower than others, and said he’s not a frontline pitcher? In your opinion they must be all wrong too. What kind of stats do you think they rely on?
  8. Old Red
    I like ERA, but I like hits per inning along with BB, and K’s per innings as well.
  9. Old Red
    Like I asked does Raffy get a W-L next to his name after every game? Why is that?
  10. Old Red
    Another thing I keep saying. You’re not convincing me, but just convincing yourself. I do understand that W-L record doesn’t tell the whole story on how good a pitcher is, but I just put more value in it than you, and your cohorts do?
  11. Old Red
    What have I told you for the last two years? Wins, and losses is what matters most. Does Raffy get a W-L next to his name after every game? No! A pitcher does. It’s not really that complicated, and hasn’t changed through the years. At least not yet.
  12. Old Red
    And like I have repeated hundreds of times over. There are many different opinions out there, and how they view stats can cause the differing of opinions like in the Monty case. Whether he’s called a journeyman, an Ace, a #1, or a #3 it is not going to affect how someone pitches. Like I said I get your views, and opinions, but just don’t agree.
  13. Old Red
    I said myself. I’ve always said I don’t like $300M+ contracts no matter who they are for, and for how long, but I understand that is not the way things are done.
  14. Old Red
    I’d be paying someone to win games myself.
  15. Old Red
    You can tell him whatever you want, but it’s still not going to change anything. Obviously he looks at things differently than you just like I do, and still going on about it a day later has not done any good, or changed anyone’s mind either. Sean’s been around a long time, and is really knowledgeable, and I’ll take his opinion over yours, but I won’t say you don’t know what you are talking about. Sean might though.
  16. Old Red
    The biggest difference with me in the in the Monty discussion is that I fully understand why you guys feel differently from me on how we rank Monty. You guys look at stats differently than I do, and what stats that are more important to me might not be important to you, and vice versa. We obviously don’t agree, but at least I understand why. I don’t say someone doesn’t know what they are talking about, because someone says something different from me, or that it’s ridiculous if someone else’s rankings do not match mine, but you guys do, and it doesn’t change anything. Monty could be ranked anywhere between 1-5, and it’s not going to affect how he pitches one way, or the other.
  17. Old Red
    jtm.
  18. Old Red
    You make it sound like it’s only my opinion. Just like you not agreeing with one of the FA rankings today, and you said it was ridiculous just because it didn’t match what you think it should be. Just another example of a long list of someone not agreeing.
  19. Old Red
    1 yr/$10M?
  20. Old Red
    You are just coming to that conclusion?
  21. Old Red
    Imagine someone not agreeing with someone on here, and of course it’s the other person that’s wrong. I’ll take Sean McAdam’s opinion on this. I know you can’t be trying to convince me you’re right, so it must be everyone is trying to convince yourselves, because it’s been nonstop since i mentioned Monty, W-L record, and journeyman in the same post. Like I always say there are all kinds of rankings, and opinions out there on everything, and I like to hear them all. I guess some just don’t. Oh well to each its own. Either way it doesn’t change anything in the big scheme of things.
  22. Old Red
    I got what McAdams was talking about between being a 2, or a 3. He’s a tweener.Not goood enough to be a 2, but better than being a 3.
  23. Old Red
    Jen is great!
  24. Old Red
    The Red Sox finally named Bailey as pitching coach. Gee that didn’t take long at all. Still need a 3B coach?
  25. Old Red
    It’s kind of like the farm rankings in that there are all kinds of differing opinions, and rankings out there.
