Cant a man redeem himself or are we in the twitter world where there is no forgiveness.

 

My goal is to return here as an rehabilitated citizen, one that has done his time, and is now on the required medication. One that is working day in and day out to get off of government support, and potentially recruit a wife from China (One that is willing to overlook my social awkwardness)

 

I am a changed man. I am no longer a troll. I cannot reintegrate into society, unless I am accepted into the only social fabric I have ever known.

 

My apologies. I tell others not to bring it up, I shouldn't either. I will keep an eye out for potential Asian wives for you!

[tercet]

I just want the opportunity to call out Tercet for a dumb statement and win some cash in the process.

 

lol

 

No one ever bets me besides dinger once. Just 10 years of massive amounts of talking s*** then backing out/never betting.

[tercet]

Has anyone actually ever seen Brandon Drurys splits by stadium? He is god awful outside of Chase, never actually realized how bad/scary the splits are.

The offer has been made. Will you back up your statement?

[tercet]

Really, your going the spanky route and calling me a welcher already? lol

 

What do you want to bet on?

 

I'll bet DSJ has the highest bWar this year of a group that includes BM, TH, SB, DP, and AA. You can take the other group.

 

Your sending me the money me to verify the bet, I have 15 years of doing bets here/twoplustwo/poker/etc

Grichuk got destroyed by Tim Anderson on Twitter lol.

 

 

I knew there was something I didn’t like about Grichuk and now I know what it is.

You have 5 more years to not like Grichuk...lol

[Laika]

Tercet is a genius.

 

- Complain that nobody ever makes bets with him

- Receives legitimate offers to bet on something

- Only takes bets if you send him the money up front

- "trust me I play poker"

- Complains that nobody ever makes bets with him

 

Repeat forever. Never has to take a risk, gets to call everyone else a pussy for not betting with him. Genius.

[Pendleton]

With some aggressive teams being badly in need of late inning help, I wonder if Atkins is getting calls on Giles.

How can you be all over Stroman for his antics on the field and then rush to the defense of Tim Anderson who throws his bat and gives the pitcher a stare after hitting a 4th inning home run in April. I'm fine with being on one side or the other, but pick a side man.

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah, if he avoids injury it really should be a haul we get in for trading Giles.

[Bobthe4th]

Though it’s crazy to me that Kimbrel still hasn’t signed anywhere.

That qualifies as destroyed?

I was thinking the same thing, in what world is he getting destroyed here

A history of making bets allows you to act as the house in an online forum? Get real, people make bets on here all the time, if a long standing member doesn't pay they'll get weeded out fast. Either make the bet or don't. Setting ridiculous terms is just a way to get out of it.

It was funny, but it didn't even seem like he was mad

Also, it went from wRC+ from now until the end of the season to bwar pretty quickly there

It's Guerra DFA for Tepera:

It's Guerra DFA for Tepera:

 

 

DFA means a 40-man spot is also opened up.

 

Vlad time?

[Bobthe4th]

Probably not quite yet as Phelps and Richard are due to return from the IL - not that either should be a factor on Vlad's promotion haha. There's got to be a few roster decisions coming up soon though.

[Ray]

Richard is already on the 40-man (he's on the 10-day DL, not the 60), and Phelps isn't going to be back until about midway through the season.

[LGBJ29]

but what if there's another Socrates Brito out there?

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah but we still need space on the 25 man - Vlad isn't getting added to the 40 without being on the 25 man. I think we'll see someone like Brito DFA in a few weeks to ease the roster crunch. Ironic since at least 5 players on the 25 man are utter shite, but Shatkins seems to want to be ultra patient which is fair enough in a rebuilding season.

We still need a 4th outfielder and Alford has been awful which leaves our only other in-house options as Jordan Patterson and Roemon Fields, the former of which is also off to a terrible start, which isn't much better. With how bad Drury's been he could get sent down although I imagine they might give him some more leash and just kick Hanson to the curb once they're ready to call up Vlad.

Another option would be use one or more of the utility players in the outfield, but yeah lots of decisions to be made.

I believe Drury can be optioned as well. It wouldn't be the worst idea to send him down to AAA to get his swing right. He's been terrible at the plate.

Bat flips are fun thats why. Its a game people need to stop being sensitive. Stroman's antics are not even comparable. Stroman is constantly on about something and is angry at the world for no apparent reason.

 

That qualifies as destroyed?

 

Oh yea it does. He got called the f*** out

Remember in 2012/2013 when we had a bet TDA vs JPA and you backed down because you said I would welch/wouldn't pay? JFC man why is it so hard for you to tell the hard the truth. lol

 

I have a 15 year history of paying bets/transfers etc.

 

You have a 10 year history of being a pathological liar, lol

[Laika]

Nope.

 

We probably had a potential bet about production and you wanted to throw in some retarded PA clause which drastically tilted the bet in your direction, as you have done multiple times with multiple other posters.

 

I think you might have a brain tumor.
