Guess that means he's doomed.

Folks are still bitter about Mussina twenty years later. Some of the fanbase will absoultly blame Henderson if he walks.

Yankees under Hal won't spend for him.

Like what Dan did with Mountcastle.

I can't blame him for trying to lessen the economic impact, but you hammer out all of those details before he announces his retirement.

Just wait till you see how bad it gets when he plays for the Dodgers.

Westburg and Henderson are exactly as fast as McKenna. I'm not sure an 80 speed guy is something that is a need.

You are clearly demonstrating a mastery of social decorum.

So you admit it isn't "always". So why say it? How is it a shock to you that when a team does significantly better than anyone suggested that the projection system Fangraphs uses would have the same issue?

You can think that, but it isn't biased.

Do they? Were they wrong in 2019?, 2020?, 2017? I don't know, but if you say "always" you should probably fact check the statement. Or it's just not perfect. It's not presented as something that's going to be 100% accurate. Your expectations are not the same as theirs.

I don't think the evidence points to anything close to that. They did underestimate the O's during those seasons but to suggest that the reason why is based on a bias that you can't explain instead of a failure in their projection system seems like a dubious claim. They overestimated the 2018 team.

Why would Fangraphs be biased against the Orioles? No one has ever explained to me why they would purposely dismiss the team.

I think we've just become so accustomed to high strike out totals in games it just didn't register. That is a pretty impressive uptick.

He almost certainly won't pitch next year, I don't see how a one year deal will build value.

The only pitch that was even somewhat close to the strike zone is the one the Ump called a strike. Nice Hays!

Sure. He was released for a reason. Just glad we got that hot run out of him.

It wasn't a surprise, he'd been drinking himself to death for years. Glad you saw him when he was doing well.

What's Jimmy Buffet up to these days? Too soon?

He's 73.

The Braves have better pitching (allowed fewer runs). The Braves have better hitting(have scored more runs). The Braves have a better record.

Can you set the AI to post in the style of Drungo? Kthanx.

Oh, I'm knee jerk defending Hyde and Elias now? I had no idea.

Just a really bad one to share.
