  1. Reddit just is not a good forum for long-form, smart discussions. It's fine for what it is
  2. I don't like what Buck says But when he is doing colour commentary at least he adds some personality to the broadcast He's intolerably bad at play by play though
  3. I think we do a pretty good job at curating a certain type of community.
  4. If tercet showed up tomorrow and started slinging mud at the mods, he'd be gone in an instant.
  5. Pat Tabler brought absolutely nothing to the broadcasts, unfortunately for him. Just boring.
  6. That's not really the point. The point is that when someone who doesn't even engage here shows up and immediately disparages the moderation - the conduct is antisocial.
  7. I didn't even care that he pointed out the post, really. I was even the one to delete it because it should have been deleted. It was the follow up post about a mod finally doing their job. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the tone of that was just blatantly disrespectful. I doubt you'd ever do that. Like, you'd have to change a lot for me to start reading your posts as antisocial, haha.
  8. Rule #8 has been there since the rules were handed down, by God. I think there are good reasons it is in there. We enforce the rules within the social context of the message board. Typically we don't care if a community member is critical of the mods because they are either joking, in part, or it's legitimate criticism. But TL is arguably not even a community member at this point. He doesn't even engage here; he basically just, infrequently, double posts s*** he creates for other communities. I don't know about you guys but if some guy I haven't seen in years shows up and starts to take a dump in my backyard, I'm grabbing the garden hose.
  9. Captain Adama, Captain_Obvious, Gen.Disarray, JaysAllMighty, Laika, max silver, rabbit4949, Terminator this thread was basically an IQ test and only this group of egg heads passed
  10. No I just think it's safe of them to say it's his job to lose 50 wRC+ against lefties 6 weeks into the season? Congrats, you're in a platoon now!
  11. Red Sox just DFA'd Jeter Downs. WTF happened to him? Had really good numbers before the trade and looked like a polished hitter but has been horrendous in the Boston system. lmao
  12. You don't get to just show up out of nowhere, shine a light on an inappropriate post everyone was ignoring, and say the mods suck. Only frequent posters get to say the mods suck. Bye
  13. Yeah I clicked through a few. Greinke had several rock solid years and earned his money. And then they handed off most of the bag to the Astros and got Josh Rojas in the process.
  14. Excuse me? None of us get paid to do this, you dork.
  15. I dunno what else to say. If you think Bo has the same attitude as all the other players I don't think you watch the games. He carries himself differently and thinks he's a Head & Shoulders model. Again, it's not a bad thing.
  16. 2016 was a bit of a bump year look at some of these. I don't think many of these worked out for the teams. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016-mlb-free-agent-tracker/sort_column-aav__sort_direction-0
  17. Man, Victor Martinez. Haven't read his name in a while.
  18. I definitely didn’t intend to make the big leagues and break records for two months and then stop You just have to have it... And I have it. I’ve got a lot more that I want to accomplish. There’s no need for [my dad] or anybody else to get me motivated. These are old quotes. It's not a big deal or even a criticism.
  19. Kikuchi had some good numbers in relief but he still got hit around and had major baserunner problems in those 18.1 innings. He'd probably be a reliever that performs like this guy, year over year: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-alvarado/17780/stats?position=P I dunno. I want to see him start again. But I'd have a shorter leash on him this year.
  20. You can basically assume how these trade conversations have been going with Arizona. Would you trade Varsho or Carroll? No. We aren't willing to do that. Do you like Alek Thomas? He's okay. Prospect models like him but his MLB debut was concerning for many reasons. Do you mean to propose Thomas for Jansen? No. We'd need Kirk or Moreno to move Thomas. Yikes.
  21. I think Tendies and Farto would not sign here because of the depth chart Brantley might because he's a smart veteran and he knows that one extra bat is hardly a surplus at all. But I still think it's trade or bust. Bust might include signing a shitbag like Naquin.
  22. Best SP in the PRWL And his K rate was okay in AAA. Makes me think he has a chance.
  23. Chad Atkins gets KK to take less money to play in Toronto I guess the days of Toronto having to tack extra years and money onto every FA contract are over?
