Around Baseball 2018

[Boxcar]

This is a thoughtful post, but it's interesting that you smacked someone for being biased and opinionated, only to follow that up with being biased and opinionated. "Some of the best students are females" and "males are treated better than females" are not exactly rigid scientific points, and the latter is a little bit hard to believe when weighing the consequences of men mistreating women in the workplace in 2018.

 

Also smacked him for not being scientific. Nothing is more scientific than personal anecdotes.

lol, if Hobbs is actually a new poster he’s going to fit in well here

[Boxcar]

I guess this is your fault.

 

Mods: please just ban terminator and Jim

 

Theodore too, I have him on ignore but for some reason he can still fill my visitor message thingy. I'm thinking I'm getting Alonso/LoMo trade inquiries but it's just this butthurt little dipshit desperately vying for my attention.

He’s actually PMing you?

No, he's leaving visitor messages on my profile

 

 

I'm afraid BTS. What do I do?!

Well yeah, but that's implied in "biased and opinionated".

 

 

It would be more helpful if people would note specific cases of gender discrimination (and, maybe, take a stand against it themselves) instead of just lamenting about it's existence. Platitudes about equality aren't going to get us very far.

 

 

 

So how about those White Sox yesterday? Impressive.

I didn’t even know this forum at such a functionality

[Hobbs]

You guys like the D'Backs chances this year? That was an impressive display of offense last night. Jake Lamb had himself a ballgame.

[Jimcanuck]

I guess this is your fault.

hang on, i have made just two posts related to the current topic of this thread

 

any liability i have is mitigated by not being the original protagonist or a primary protagonist

[Terminator]

I guess this is your fault.

Well King started it. I merely followed up on it. I'm all for banning Jim though. 100%.

Flimsy defense. You are a primary protagonist. Banworthy.

I would just like to remind people that the resident male feminist moderator who turned this baseball thread into a cesspool was the very same person who posted nudie pics of some girl, without her permission, on the old board. While that was awesome and hilarious at the time, he hardly comes from a position of moral or intellectual authority on this subject.

Whoa, from the vault. That must have been almost a decade ago.

I was a very infrequent poster back in those days. That forum wasn't really worth my time but that particular event was entertaining.

Aaron Hicks has been put on the DL--Cubs prospect Billy McKinney recalled, meaning lots of Gardner in CF until Ellsbury returns.

Miguel Cabrera is so good.

[BTS]

Miguel Cabrera is so good.

 

I literally came in here to post exactly those words. That was a good piece of hitting.

[Hobbs]

Damn, look at the Tigers.

He nearly inside-outed a 97 mph fastball for a dinger like two pitches prior, then he takes another fastball on the outside half opposite field near the line. Just outstanding.

[Orgfiller]

The Tigers bullpen doing Tigers bullpen things lmao

[BTS]

Imagine going to Drew verHagen and Daniel Stumpf in the 8th inning to preserve a 2-run lead on opening day

[Boxcar]

Oh my god can you f*** off? Like you're totally entitled to your opinion and good for you that you care so much about this, but this is a thread about what's going on around baseball. Please if you want to keep talking about it or complaining about the mods either PM someone or bring it to one of the many OT threads which deal with these things.

 

I apologize, sir.

[BTS]

Damn, Orgfiller REGULATING

[Orgfiller]

That is some awful baserunning, zero reason to move on contact there.

I'm just waiting for the Reds game to start. J-Wizzle getting the start.

I'm honestly all in on Winker. The OBP is already legit and I really think he's more than a mere 50 power guy, at least raw power. And he doesn't strike out, he's going to be a poor man's Joey Votto.

Also for those plebs that still use cable, at least Bell, MLB Extra Innings is currently showing a free preview, I imagine it'll last throughout April like it has in previous years.

[Boxcar]

Org, can you edit your post telling me to f*** off? I deleted my offending post and I don't want someone to read it in your post and start s*** up again.

Free preview on satellite too.
