Offseason Roster Thread

"Hey Brent! Hey Steve! You guys wanna come over to my place? Some guy I don't know just said something really dumb on the internet!"

[Boxcar]

Well, I've said the same and Boxy and Co... think they're that dumn, so I'll go with that. Check the podcast threads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Yeah because Marcus Stroman and Justin Smoak are clearly of similar value.

 

Moron.

This site continues to be dominated by ten brainiacs who can’t have a thought without posting. If it’s not a twitter post with actual info, it’s best to speed read any thread. You’ll spare your sanity that way. They’re giving Sportsnet comments and reddit competition for the sheer quantity of useless opinions.

Is that what it was, cool. No worries, ya sphincter loving tongue poker.

 

If it makes you feel better, Spank, we were both wrong. At least I was.

 

Probably could part with Sanchez over Stroman after all.

 

lol... Gray will cost large?

 

Stroman ++

 

 

Muahahahaha!

So your problem is that people are conversing on a message board?

You're upset that there are too many posts on a message board that's getting like 80 posts a day?

First time anyone on here has called me a brainiac....but ill take the compliment

[Bobthe4th]

But why would he assume that's what King was talking about, and then call King a liar because he said there was an uptick in fastball velo? And even that table shows a 2-3 mph spike in velo in 2016 relative to the previous two years. It just seems like a completely absurd overreaction.

 

King tries to wind up Grant nearly ever time Grant posts anything, so it’s understandable why Grant is paranoid.

What makes you think you’re one of the ten haha.

[Rusty_Savage]

Grant should really delete his account and cancel his internet subscription

 

Fixed it for you

Absolutely false

[Olerud363]

Absolutely false

 

Grant calls everyone who calls him out a 'troll'. He doesn't understand what Trolling is. You are only a troll if you make statements, that you know are false, just to get someone going. Here is an example.

 

"Grant is a cherry picker and a deceptive poster"

 

a) if you think Grant is an honest lad with integrity, and presents data fairly and without bias, but you say "Grant is a cherry picker and a deceptive poster" just to have a laugh and get Grant going, then you my friend are indeed a troll.

 

if your true opinion is that "Grant is a cherry picker and a deceptive poster" you're not a troll. That just happens to be your true opinion which you believe in and you stated.

Damn...there are some pent up frustrated dudes who need to get a life on this forum...I can help get your life on track for a small one time payment of 500 dollars, non-refundable. PM me for details.

[Bobthe4th]

Absolutely false

 

Haha, yeah right. He does fall for it nearly every time though.

[King]

Haha, yeah right. He does fall for it nearly every time though.

 

I wasn't even trying to wind him up though. Go back and re-read the posts. All I did was ask him why he would refuse to go after Astros pitchers (which is absurd) and then told him that most of Mortons skill increase took place before he got to Houston. I'm sure they boosted his RPM with magic dust which only helped with his added velocity, but still. Then he started flying off the handle because he refused to admit Morton gained velocity when he was with the Phillies (and tried to discredit that gain to small sample size).

[BTS]

Did you read this specific exchange?

[Bobthe4th]

Did you read this specific exchange?

 

Yeah:

 

i corrected you for being wrong and didn't get banned.. you got banned for having a hissy fit because you were wrong.. so...

 

grant is wrong, again

 

you are wrong, again!

 

King is a child repeatedly kicking a ball into angry old man Grant’s fence, because he knows he'll get a reaction.

[King]

Yeah:

well Grant had it coming because he made the jab about bannable offenses. Convenient of you to leave that out though!

 

if he's insane enough to get mad over being told he's wrong on the internet, he has bigger problems than me.

[Daniel Labude]

What makes you think you’re one of the ten haha.

 

I'm for sure I wasn't one of the 10...but I will pretend that I was lmao

[Grant77]

Yeah:

I just get a laugh out of it or else I wouldn't even respond.

 

He intentionally posts false numbers (96mph velo) all in an elaborate attempt to get a reaction? It's kind of sad and funny at the same time.

[TheHurl]

I see several laughing

96 was a guess prior to checking fangraphs, because I didn't think it would devolve into this before I posted.. You gave a false number by saying 94.3 and are sticking to it, when the facts clearly say its 95.4. You're an absolute moron for tripling down on this and everyone sees it but you.

[DigitalRock]

Yeah:

Pillar to San Fran?

[Krylian]

Pillar to San Fran?

 

I'm getting in my car as we speak. Where can I pick him up to drive him to the airport?

[P2F]

 

What would a trade of Pillar to SF realistically look like?

[Abomination]

Hard to really see a good fit. Pillar for Black and Quinn would be reasonable maybe.
