Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Hey bub, what would there be for the mods to do about here? The fact that I expressed an opinion you disagree with? And you got personal and emotional about it in response? Which is exactly what I said to begin with?

If we looked even just between our two posts here as to who deserves to be reprimanded by the mods, I’m struggling to see how your expletive-laced statement wouldn’t be the one deserving of the reprimand. Thought about that bub?

Try taking Baseball bub instead of getting so personally decimated by a baseball-related statement that you resort to demanding mod action. Tell us the logical, baseball-related reason why the Straw experiment should continue.

Hint: you won’t because you can’t

First, vulgarity is not reprimandable. So stow your holier-than-thou bullshit while you personally attack everyone on the board who's within swinging distance.

The place where mods can do something is when you state "Let’s just put it out there what it is, the only people supporting Straw and shoving this down our throats are doing it for personal, emotional rather than logical reasons." You are making personal attacks against anyone who holds an opinion different than your own.

That is what's bullshit. That is what you have done since you joined this board, and have continued to do. And that's where a moderator like @The Human Q-Tip or @Wham with the Right Hand should, ideally, step in and do something so the board doesn't have to constantly deal with the antagonistic drivel you continue to spew.

It's also kind of you to assume that anyone who has a problem with your out-of-line behavior MUST clearly disagree with the baseball argument tucked away in there. I wonder why you are painting anyone who calls out bad behavior an enemy.





If you want to know my personal take on Myles Straw, I think the Myles Straw we see for the majority of his remaining MLB career is going to be closer to the .333-ish OBP% he was for multiple years than the terrible batter he's been the past couple of months.

Is that player still even league average at the plate? No. Does a slightly-below-average bat who plays elite defense in CF and provides speed on the base path, while seeing a good number of pitches per at bat have a place in this league, especially as your 9-hole hitter? I'd say yes.

I'm not overly confident in that guess. But if you force me to place my chips on one side or the other, I'm typically going to go on the side of the established track record rather than the current slump.

It's a good thing we're playing the Royals and Merrifield is having a rough year.

Also, was that an errant Nolan Jones's throw to 3rd that resulted in a gift out?

You don't find it ironic bub that your plea for a reprimand in response to something that you claim is a personal attack is imbued with several, separate, directly personal attacks?

I'd love to stack my posts in this thread up next to yours and let an unbiased third-party decide who between us has gotten personal. I'm going to return you to ignore where I've had you for the last 90% of my duration here. I felt compelled to defend myself against your personal attacks. But I'm content now to turning to baseball talk.

I will give you a cap-tip for acknowledging that you aren't even confident in your only baseball-related take in this discussion. Unfortunately for you, I am highly confident in mine.

Straw = Leonys Martin (who, by the way, had many more years of MLB success than the ~800 Plate Appearances claimed by Mr. Straw)

Good call. I have done so. Back to baseball.

I think Reyes is rounding into form. We desperately needed another big bat in the lineup, particularly with OGOATz on the mend.
 
nice job by Singer - pitchers who can and do cover 1st effectively in that situation seem to be dinosaurs

Please don't put a curse on him by calling him GOAT like you did with Bobby BradGOAT

To be fair, I've called JoseGOAT, BieGOAT, EspinGOAT, FranGOAT, and many other goats. I have no impact on the outcome of any of our players' success bub. But I did and do still love me some Bobby BradGOAT.

I have a soft spot for MASHERS who come up through the org. I'm merely a baseball rube. What can I say?
 
I'm still going to blame our slump on those stupid AM/PM commercials on MLBTV.

Fuck you Tommgis
