Tercet bets against himself, loses $500

[Dr. Dinger]

Tercer gets unlimited bragging rights in perpetuity, there is a lot at stake here.

[tercet]

Like I said I want him to succeed but hitters of his type fail / are average hitters at best most of the time.

 

He was living off of gimme mistake pitches the first week, but has been falling back to earth ever since pitchers are hitting their spots more often now.

[tercet]

If he learns to be more selective then I’ll have more faith in him, but he continues to swing at s*** pitches especially that are down away that he can’t do s*** vs

Someone who analyzes baseball like this shouldn't be betting on it and expecting to win.

Dats how I roll bro plus 7 years of milb track record of him. Doesn’t take a PhD statistician to predict Teoscar outcomes.

 

You should see the amt of people who trolled/serious chat with me on Twitter about him thinking he was an all star slugger lol

Last 7 days - 215/256/459 - 5%b 20%k

 

I don’t think he will be this bad but ugh lol

 

Since April 25th- .390 xwOBA. So he's doing a hell of a lot better than you think.

[tercet]

Obviously he isn’t as bad as the last week, but obviously he isn’t as good as his 2018 stats, he is something in between.

[burlingtonbandit]

If he puts up a .390 xwOBA for the season he's a star...

[tercet]

If he puts up a .390 xwOBA for the season he's a star...

Obviously, but he probably won’t do this, he is too flawed of a hitter to put up such numbers.

 

But yet again let’s see if he can prove me wrong!

Tercet has more cred than anyone in here. He paypal'd me $500 for a hech ops prediction guess.

[thatoneguy]

I don’t care about the 500$ lol, the bet will be a good sweat either way.

 

Imagine being able to throw money away over such petty causes. This just makes you look like a giant ass.

[jb22]

No it doesn't...He's willing to back up his views by putting something tangible behind it.

Yeah, but why? Is he just rolling in money, or is he a degenerate gambler?

Well I’ve grown a custom to being the forum villain, for several years everyone calls me a welcher, I give away free money they hate me too, what can ya do

[tercet]

Can everyone apologize to me and BTS now? His exit velocity is nice,but unfortunately his free swinging tendencies is his down fall.

 

So when he is dfa’ed in a week or so, who should take his spot? I say give Pompey one last shot.

Sorry let me rephrase this.

 

Let’s assume Teoscar production output is similar to a Nick Williams, Hunter Renfroe, Adam Duvall, do we accept that and keep him or give one of the AAA OF a chance?(Pompey,Smith,Alford)

Edit: Too be fair he did have a ton of Batted Ball Luck prior... thing is, nothing has changed but luck. A slash line isn't as predictive as advanced metrics, the PD @ BB numbers are pretty much the same.

Lol @ "Pompey one last chance"

[tercet]

Sigh

[tercet]

Boom Faria misses his spot by several feet and Teo doesn’t miss the gimme pitch in his wheelhouse

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Lol @ "Pompey one last chance"

 

What does that even mean?

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Teoscar was 2-4 tonight, really the only player who hit s***. I'm still thinking he may be for real. Man, for Liriano, it was a good deal. No matter what.

[vdubmvp]

So what sort of improvements could be made here with $500 anyway?

Better moderation to immediately shut down the sexual exploitation of male actors by female posters.

I think this place would be better if more people joined those discussions, but I guess I'm in the minority on that one.

The server has been awful lately, it takes forever to load pages on desktop, so that needs to be fixed for sure.

Oh, I'm pretty much always on mobile so I didn't realize that was still a problem.

 

Also, I can't be the only one who really wants to make some one-sided bets with this guy now...

Not sure if your trolling, serious or both?
