There's dozens of very intelligent baseball fans on here with differing opinions and views on baseball. I don't agree with everyone, and they don't agree with me all the time, but I can atleast respect their viewpoint. Take JFaS for example, the entire board looked up him, me included. But I've called him out on some of his extremist views and at the same time hold a tremendous amount of respect for him. It doesn't mean I don't like the dude or love what he talks about, but at some point you have to step back a bit from those views, even if it means working in a MLB analytics dept.
The only people I can't stand are casual fans with strong opinions, when their opinions are so far off-base it isn't even worth having a discussion with. And as I've also said in the past, I have to cut baseball conversations short with some of my best friends who are casual baseball fans. I don't really care to argue the value of Kawasaki acting like a f***ing retard and being valuable to the Jays winning baseball games like I did last year with a friend. So my dislike of casual fans doesn't mean strangers....it means everyone.
You're a good man sticking up for those retards.
