Around Baseball

[Dr. Dinger]

So in other words, use the ignore feature in lieu of issuing bans. Ok, then why wasn't that enough in NJH's case? If someone doesn't like the occasional pithy quip, can't they just ignore him?

 

Spam the board with ignorance but kowtow to the mods = acceptable

Contribute intelligent discussion frequently and occasionally tease a mod with clearly tongue-in-cheek statements = ban

 

I actually like gsnarls as a poster but this was a really terrible, knee-jerk decision.

We're all familiar with NJH's sardonic brand of humour

 

Apparently not...

 

 

There's a difference between challenging a mod/swearing excessively ( thats why I believe he did)

As I said before ..... was an early move by Gnarls, dude who has done a great job so far.

I think Chappy just replaced Gsnarls as my favorite mod this week!

Chappy just banned MohYou so I think that makes him the best mod by default (sorry Kev).

[Nox]

Don't worry guys. Moh You is a financial magnate and doesn't have much time to post here anyways.

Kev needs to step up his game! There's still time for a late push for the title.

Youkilis?

Kev is that he's just a genuinely nice guy and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt. I would have decapitated MohYou like 2 months ago.

There should be another tier between ban and full poster. Perhaps a title of "JPA's biggest fan" and a temporary replacement of the avatar with a dunce cap.

Report: Kevin Youkilis to join Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan

 

According to a Nikkan Sports report passed along by NPB Tracker, free agent infielder Kevin Youkilis will join the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan. Terms of their contract agreement are unknown.

Maybe, but that MohYou/Zee character should have just been banned on site. He's been spewing stupidity on this forum for like 8 years and clearly won't ever be an asset to discussion.

 

That goes without saying

What kills me about Kev is his vitriol for AA. Like you said he's a "benefit of the doubt guy" so it's truly impressive just how far past exasperated he is. Even banal stuff like adding Nickeas to the 40 man gets him going.

[Howard Roark]

Don't worry guys. Moh You is a financial magnate and doesn't have much time to post here anyways.

 

Canadian 2014 Q1 GDP boosted by 0.3% on the back of his ban. Great buying opportunity, as equities have yet to price-in this factor. Act fast.

Think Youk would have bought it if we told him he could live in an igloo if he came here for cheap? Lots of life experience in that I'd imagine, especially when it's 30 above in the summer...

Youkilis?

Google translates to this...

 

Youkilis acquisition of ya forces FA to Rakuten straight victory

 

The 20th, it was found that to obtain (34) Kevin Youkilis infielder that optimism has become FA from the Yankees. It was only played 28 of the game there is also a failure of the waist this season, but the major 1053 hits total, 150 home runs. Straight victory to Japan, I get enough big game performance.

 

Rakuten, a major return is third baseman Maggie was immovable. The resigning in one year, I was looking for a successor. Youkilis is, he was a mainstay of the Red Sox in the late 00's. In 2008, 168 hits, 2 rin 1 minute 30% batting average, 29 home runs, 115 RBI. Both left the results of his best, and won the Hank Aaron Award to choose a batter who played most fan voting.

Banning Moh= hitting just one of the moles in the those whack-a-mole games.

He won't be gone long. If he's even gone for now (ie active other personalities/accounts)

There is no nice in baseball. I've always been big on small moves and having a plan B for all failures/injuries. I'm not talking about being able to replace their production but at least having defensive replacements or potential short term hot bats. Having four below replacement level catchers on the 40 man is just horrible management (especially when there is a 5th who isn't MLB ready). People don't see this as an issue but I do. I rage this way about other GM's too, just mostly on other accounts.

 

As for my niceness, I see it as I have a higher tolerance than most anyone. I believe in sending a message first. How a person reacts to that message forms my opinion of them. Also embracing a troll sometimes discourages them more than banning them.

BTS should be next on the hit list for his incessant trolling and Ray fanboying:)

Cosigned.

 

Donate his "thanked" count to charity. It is Christmas after all.

[TheHurl]

we'll need one of NJH or BTS around to create the "Around Baseball 2014" thread. Outside of that, I don't see them as useful.

[Howard Roark]

Rofl @ "straight victory" and "failure of the waist".

[connorp]

Everyone know BTS stole his Rays sctick for lee Marvin and his O's crossover. Should therefore be a capital offense.

 

If thats not enough, it's widely reported that he frequently refers to mods as "blatant homosexuals" in pm's with other board members.

 

Guy is bad news:)

O's BP going down in flames. Time to trade Casey and Sergio for Bundy

[connorp]

I'm really surprised that when Baltimore became a legit team (WC possibility anyway) that Angelos kept the purse strings really tight and didn't add to team.

 

Edit: add anything major

a second violation. That's when you know a player is just stupid

I would love it if we could land Bundy

So would 28 other teams

 

I'd also like to get Bryce Harper for LF while we're shopping

we have a solid bullpen and great options to send them for Bundy

 

IMO we have the deepest bull pen and should be able to land an above average starter or a top prospect who is having difficulty cracking a starting rotation
