Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 ? What I've seen is that anyone with a different thought process gets childishly attacked, and then the cries for banning are soon to follow ... and the hive eventually gets its wish. I disagree with a lot of the "WAR is the end all be all" perspective, because WAR is a very poor analytic. So are a lot of the others (the basic, "ancient" permutations and the earlier permutations of "advanced" analysis which are now considered relics) ... so they should be used in conjunction, to construct a proper view of things. I'm not at all anti-sabr, insofar as sabr analysis wishes to more intensely deconstruct the mythological baseball world. Quite the opposite, in fact. I think WAR, and current analytics in a similar vein, are very, very rudimentary. I think the new video system will do a great deal to rectify the limitations. I'm not ignorant of statistical analysis. In fact, through my education, career and general interests (many moons ago, I read derivative financial instrument pricing and risk analysis textbooks for "fun" in my spare time ... eventually such things became more than a hobby), I embrace statistical analysis, when, and how, it's appropriate. Regardless, since I come with this approach and am not at all afraid to express my disagreement with a foolish notion ... and since I don't back down from what I have received, in terms of abuse, and I am willing to give what I receive, all of a sudden, the girls on the playground run to get me banned. It's beyond childish. Grow up. Shut up and talk. And, yes, that statement makes perfect sense. I have my 4 and 6 year old boys trained better than some of you, honestly. The guy who f***ing nitpicks every aspect of every post is calling others childish? f*** off.
dineke Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Body 9 Face 6 Nah... her face is good. She's a bit too "generic blonde model" though if we want to nitpick.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Of course it's true. There's no "surprise." This is the continual problem - you, and others of your ilk, can't or don't read. I never gave any indication of surprise. I don't care whether or not people like me. I care about the correctness of opinions and what is stated. I couldn't give two flips if you like me. I would expect you not to, actually. You're very limited. You seem to care that people don't like you, given the fact you denied it twice in the same post. So much angst. Moogy on a crusade to rid the internet of ignorance and inconvenient spelling errors through the use of insufferable douchebaggery.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 But seriously, the mods think this guy adds to the forum? I mean, I think banning him would set a bad precedent. I don't really think he's done anything to warrant it. I can't stand his posts but that's not really grounds for a ban.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Calls a guy a douche for giving some basic bitches a free limo ride and a basket of free s*** that she can sell or use as proof of having f***ed Derek Jeter in one post, uses a number to rate a girl a few posts later http://i.imgur.com/py2PxcN.gif To sig or not to sig. T'is the question.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Just because being liked on a message board is important for you, does not mean it's a goal of others. Your assumption that your desires are the same as others is your problem, not mine. And this is why you think it's relevant to attack me as not being liked (because you value that for yourself). Enjoy it, my man. Take it all in. You need a reality check. No one cares about your baseball opinions and how they differ. Things people generally refuse to tolerate are willful ignorance, pedantry, and abrasive behaviour. You can cry about hive mind, or whatever you morons go to in an emergency situation, but you bring this all on yourself by generally being an *******. Guys like you, TwistedLogic, CHP come here and off the bat attempt to establish that you are intellectually superior to everyone else and somehow this doesn't click in your magnificent brains that people will get pissed off.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 This thread needs a lock pretty soon.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I mean, let's just look at this logically and objectively. Cut all of your attempts to be king of the dipshits and all of my being an insufferable ahole childish rants from the conversation. Just today (or was it yesterday?), I completely discredited a post and assertion through a simple, basic understanding of the CBA ... and cited what should be widely known to all non-casual baseball fans, but was known to no one here (apparently) ... That you can't have an agreement to not QO a player. So, what I'm saying is ... Give me my cookie and acknowledge my value-add based on that discrete occurrence alone. Yeah, you for sure deserve credit for that. You need to get that this is a social commune, though, it's not just about what you know. You can be right about everything but no one will want to give you credit if you're a dick.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 It happens on this board, when I'm told how accurate team WAR is when predicting over/under bets, and how it bests even the best gamblers in predicting such eventualities. It happens in your blog posts when you post 2014 team WAR projections. wow
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Probably because it isn't located in your basement.
Anemic0ffense Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 First time looking at this thread... I'm disappointed... Figured there would be a bunch of hot chicks to fap to attached in posts. Terrible thread. Mods close it up.
dineke Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 First time looking at this thread... I'm disappointed... Figured there would be a bunch of hot chicks to fap to attached in posts. Terrible thread. Mods close it up. Just google hot chicks.
dineke Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If there's kids here that young I think that's pretty cool. Probably already has a good head on his shoulders. So many young punks these days screwing up their lives. I couldn't picture a teenager taking time out between crack sales to post on the BJMB. Or they're losers and have no social life.
Anemic0ffense Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Just google hot chicks. Google, Bang Bros, and xhamster can only do it for so long bro...
dineke Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Google, Bang Bros, and xhamster can only do it for so long bro... You're in NYC bro... just go to a bar and grab a drunk chick. Unless you have a giant tumor on your face or something... Edited March 12, 2014 by dineke
Anemic0ffense Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 You're in NYC bro... just go to a bar and grab a drunk chick. Unless you have a giant tumor on your face or something... Nah....... the tumor is on my nutsac... but seriously, yeah the whores are all over around these parts. I know allllllll about it, trust me.
LunchBox Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Inevitable Moogy backlash thread was inevitable.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Exactly. Go to TJs in Ottawa and they have at least 25 girls hotter or as hot on staff. Tequila Jacks? You have bad taste.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Your chances of banging a girl out of your league goes up significantly higher when you walk in the front door. If you're in to banging 17yos who are too drunk to walk.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 He's saying that he didn't take past WAR and use it to project future WAR. The WAR projections he posted are the result of projections based on pitch-by-pitch data. WAR isn't predictive but WAR can be projected.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 What's more likely? Moogy admitting he may be wrong or the Bluejays winning the world series?
43211234 Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 4/10 at best. Her elbows are too pointy and knees are too sharp. I'd hit it but only if I were drunk.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I am guessing you have had a negative experiance. Type of place that's fun when you are in school.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 That's what I'm saying. Moogy called JFaS out for using WAR as a predictive statistic, but that isn't what he's doing. He's using pitch data as a predictive statistic and then projecting WAR. Sorry, to clarify I meant that in addition to your post. Moogy was/is clearly overlooking the term projection. You project stats that aren't predictive by analyzing stats that are predictive.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 You do know that projecting is predictive analysis, right? That's inarguable. So you must have a point, but you just haven't expressed it yet. You're debating whether WAR is predictive not whether it can be predicted. The two terms are not interchangeable.
DuckDuckGose Verified Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Your distinction is not relevant to the statement. You rambled so much you started going off topic.
Captain Adama Old-Timey Member Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 f*** me, I can't wait until baseball starts.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Never heard of it. right in the market on Clarence, just across from the Clock Tower and down the street from Cornerstone's. Try getting out of that basement every now and then.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Probably because it isn't located in your basement. f***...second time I posted the same joke as Boxy. I need to up my posting game.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If you're in to banging 17yos who are too drunk to walk. with fake ID? In!
