Going to the Old fallback, with your warped opinions quote. I’ve seen some of your opinions before, and people might think you didn’t know halfway near as much about baseball as you think you do. I know you think your a super scout, and have seen every inning of every game, and can judge all the SS on who’s good, and who’s bad, and not to mention your medical practice that from afar you diagnosed that Bogey is under so much mental strain from knowing that Story plays better D than he does. It must have been a fact, because you didn’t say it was an opinion, so talk about warped that is warped as warped can be. I still have it framed where you apologized to me for saying I hated Cora, which was a total lie on your part. I know you think you have a clean unblemished record on here, but you can’t get further from the truth.

What did Russell say about Lebron, and his Mt. Rushmore?
-
Is Tom Brady the goat,because he won more championships? Is Bill Russell the goat, because he won more championship?
-
Got it🙈.
-
That’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning that there is room for my way, and your way, but you seem to go overboard with trying to convince people that your opinion is the right one when there is no right, or wrong answer to the opinion.
-
I love it when a plan comes together.
-
All the other forums, and talk shows I visit has nowhere near the amount of metric talk that is done on here, and they are not all old geezer fans who frequent them.
-
And I already mentioned all of this yesterday, but yet it still goes on.
-
And I never said there was anything wrong with yours. There has been many different opinions on here, and like I’ve mentioned before that this forum is a very small sample size of opinions of what’s out there in Red Sox Nation.
-
Who is the batting champion? Who led the league in HR, or RBI? That’s what the average fan wants to know, and remembers, and has been that way for 100+ years of baseball.
-
It’s not that we can’t get how useful WAR is to some, but I for one just don’t care.
-
You just can’t let it go. This isn’t the only time on here that someone mentioned how some on here don’t like different opinions, and all this metric stuff is a good example of that. I mentioned yesterday that there is nothing wrong with how i view things concerning metrics, and there is nothing wrong with how the metric people view things. It can’t get any simpler than that, but that isn’t any good for the metric worshippers.

Real cute reply. COME ON MAN! You’ve been MOSSED.
-
Oh there is more than one, and that what makes it so hilarious.😂🙈
-
I watch baseball the same way today as I did watching baseball when I first started watching 60+ years ago. In other words just like metrics never happened. To me metrics is reading a box score, and there is nothing wrong with looking at things that way. On the other hand the ones who like metrics, and can’t do with out it, and look at things that way there is nothing wrong with that either.
-
Wasn’t Chris Sale like that? Fade late in the season.
-
I wasn’t talking about me specifically when I said you knew who had good range, or not, and was talking about scouting reports that has been around for many years. I’ve watched Red Sox SS since Eddie Bressoud, and I just can’t say I thought to much who had good range, and who didn’t. I don’t think Rico, Burrelson, Hoffman, Johnny V, or Bogey today were rangy SS, but they got the job done, and wouldn’t care where they stood on the metric scale.
-
I’m not trying to evade anything, but I just don’t care that much about it. I like good defense as much as anyone, but I just don’t think about it that much on how much range someone has compared to someone else, and I’m not a big fan of gold glove awards either.
-
I saw him play many times, but never really thought that much about it, but I know the talk was out there. It did appear that he fielded most that he got to, and looked pretty smooth doing it.
-
I get it, but even without the new metrics you knew who had good range, and who didn’t infielder, or outfielder.
-
Doesn’t it depend on what you mean by best fielding? He didn’t have the range of others, but he could field the balls that he got to.
-
I don’t think the average fan has a need to know that stuff, or cares one way, or the other. I know I don’t. I’ve seen JBJ play the OF enough to see that he is a great outfielder, and could care less if he’s better, or worse than any other outfielder.
-
I think they were just getting the pitch count up for Nate.
-
I’ve said since metrics have become such a big thing in baseball that it has not made the game better, and in my opinion it’s made it worse. To some metrics is just like a cellphone that they can’t do without it now. I can do without, and I do.

At least Diekman pitched good for once.
