Around Baseball 2018

[Spanky__99]

I'm really growing a hatred tumour in my brain towards these 3rd wave feminists.

[bones10]

So is Fangraphs dog s*** now? article wise anyways.

[Spanky__99]

So another person refusing to dispute anything said. Lmfao it's like a cult.

 

This is my fave, though:

 

So, I (or BTS) proved that all men are terrible. So does this mean that they are disputing that they are misandrists, or that they're not but are justified...because 2 random dudes on the internet said something she didn't like?

 

The latter, obviously. Quoting Leaffie's hilarious. Also, labeling everyone MRA's is just ignorant, they get zero support or respect.

It has been for quite awhile. Looks like they are trying to up the amount of dogshit, though.

Yeah that one fascinates me. It was such a ra-ra pro women post that I can not even process their disagreement. The only thing she may have said is that she didn't like the things Jen Mac Ramos was saying. So you discount an entire lengthy post from someone who essentially agrees with you just because she doesn't like the way you conduct yourself? There's a word for that, let me think...hold on...oh! Narcissism.

 

But then these bat s*** feminist misandrists seem to always have that trait.

So many injuries late in spring.

[Abomination]

So many injuries late in spring.

 

More likely they just don't get reported until late in spring

[Spanky__99]

More likely they just don't get reported until late in spring

 

No, I mean legit, in game injuries.

[Orgfiller]

I'll just drop this off here for you Kiermaier fans.

Oh no, not Lamet's elbow!

Writer of the original fangraphs article weighs in

 

This is just sad to me. Fangraphs is supposed to be about objective analysis and intelligent discussion, and then there's this author who responds to criticism with nothing but a collection of reactionary cliches.

[Spanky__99]

Yup.

That's just it, bud! We're the devil now.

I've sat in Leaffie's seats a couple times now(health), great seats for my pops and myself, I know she's a major advocate of battered women, and men.

 

She's been a hero for all of us, genuinely women. She's a hero to me, but even this women quirked her squirrel. She followed up with her beliefs. I feel they were ignored by a trigger happy/3rd world feminist. Like these men never feel deceit or chance from an MLB club, many fall through the cracks, nevermind women. I've played competitive ball with girls that beat boys, how do they feel? A girl when it got competitive, but she knew to bow out when the boys caught up, this topic is absurd.

Fangraphs sucks. Their decision to go this route is insane and whoever is calling the shots over there should be canned. Unless some liberal billionaire is paying them to do this it makes no sense. There simply aren't enough baseball loving soyboys and feminazis to make up for alienating your current readership which consist of hardcore baseball fans who love stats. How many hardcore baseball fans love subjective culture war discussions to go along with their baseball stats? My guess is not many. I will still visit the site because I'm a sucker for seeing the Steamer projections but if anyone has an alternative please let me know so I can dump them.

 

I get they wanted to add to views and clicks but why they thought going this route would be a good idea makes no sense to me. They should have brought back some sort of revamped Notgraphs page and employed people like MLB did with Cespedes Familly BBQ. Instead they hired a misandrist who thinks most men are rapists or complicit in rape. My guess is Fangraphs' readership is 90% male or more.

 

I'm really glad you guys let them know how we feel. I would love to do something to let Fangraphs know that the majority of their readership will not stand for s*** like this.

In all things considered, women might crack hockey, nut any other sport, including baseball, I can't see it. I played with the first girl in hockey, she was my defence partner, I treated her as that, my D partner(highly skilled). Suspended the most that year because Justine Blainey was my D Partner and was run, at an absurd amount I've ever seen just because(girl). Her brother was on my team and he was a huge pussy. I snapped. As the Captain. Pussy wouldn't look me in the eye. Nor would half the team, we finished strong, and lost 1st round. We had no chance, pushed it to 5 games, I was proud.

 

If they were serious they would focus on a woman making it as a GM, something a girl could clearly do. Write something on Kim Ngo or interview her. Try to get her to occasionally write for the site even. Instead they hire the baseball Lena Dunham. lol

They're hopping on the #timesup bandwagon in a big way. Pumping up women's balls is the new black and they're trying to get ahead of the curve on the sports side of things.

The clicks and views will spike momentarily for the spectacle of it all but in the long run it's not going to help.

The thread was filled with people putting her for being called out as a misandrist, so I asked anyone in the thread to correct or counter anything that was written. Instead of doing that, she posts a new tweet linking my tweet where I told her that being a misandrist isn't cool and she shouldn't expect people to support her for it.

 

I think you guys are kind of missing their point. @jenmacramos is trans and everybody ITT is/was saying "she" and "her". It says their preferred pronouns right in their twitter bio, so you should have known.

 

If you had have just said "they're a misandrist" they probably would have made an account here and thanked your post. They were just mad at your pronouns. Can you blame them? It's the law.

[leaffie]

Well I see I have been quoted or twittered or whatever it is called these days. I don't like that woman and I don't like her posting my comment. My comments stated that this woman's remarks were distasteful and to be truthful they only reinforce what a lot of men think about women that love sports. Do I think a woman will make the mlb? Not in my lifetime, but I can guarantee if a woman comes along that is a superstar the teams will be lined up to sign her. Of course, she will have to be a superstar. If she is just an average mlb player, she won't get a look.

 

I don't comment often, but it is not whether women can make the team, it is that if they want to play the sport they should NOT be assaulted with terms about their sexuality or their ability. They should be treated the same as any other player walking onto the field for try outs. Women or girls that have made the higher levels of any sport, do not ask for any favours. I was trying to give you an idea what it is like for a girl to face these things. And this takes nothing away from men.

Dick or Vag? What did you have when you were born. That's my pronoun.

I'm sorry, not up to date on how to properly address custom pronouns but it(?) is trans? I didn't know. Trans to what? Man to ultrapangender?

[Boxcar]

This is f***ing nuts.

 

 

This trans person has a go fund me for cosmetic surgery and she was mass flagged by Nazis. All she did was tweet about slipping estrogen pills into the drinks of identified conservatives! Only Nazis would take issue with that.

 

Unsurprisingly, JMR retweets and is in full support. Why are the HBT and Fangraphs supporting this piece of s*** human being? What is happening?

The issue is that they posted your comment specifically and I can't imagine they thought anything was wrong with it. I asked for criticisms and to this very point, not a single one was offered. It appears that she simply thinks you're a piece of s*** merely for saying that you're not a fan of her tactics.

I don’t actually think she’s trans though. Sheryl Ring is a trans woman, and I haven’t seen anyone misgender her.

[metafour]

I don't want to live on this gay Earth anymore.

[Terminator]

I wonder if the shakeup over there was due to Fangraphs taking a woke turn. Maybe Eno Sarris and authors saw what was going to happen and decided to bail rather than be a part of it.
