The This Team IS Done, We are Dumb and Nothing can Fix it MEGA THREAD

This is the part that kills me about some of the people on here. Maybe there needs to be stat free zones where retro posters can tell anecdotes and reminisce about the good old days without worry of interruption from pesky stat posters.

Only if we have on where no one waxes poetic about the merits of lineup protection.

So, you want people of differing opinions to be segregated from the rest? Talk about a retro point of view.

I don't care. I'm not the one whining. I'm just looking out for you man. Wouldn't want my Ti-85 to fall on your foot.

Who's whining?

Sounds like whining to me.

Yet you talk down to anyone that disagrees with you. How dare I enjoy the game the way my grandpa introduced it to me. I mean, taking my glove to the game instead of my texas instrument. You do whatever the hell you want to.
And you would have to pull it out of your ass before it fell on my foot.

Sounds like you have some ass experience.

My experience in dealing with male asses is limited to conversing with them on here. Sorry, im retro in my ass preference. To each his own. I won't judge your preference. Im happy with my wifes ass. Thanks.

Obviously, the way I'm thought of here really doesn't matter to me.

What I don't get is why you continue to post, 5000+ times, on a site where you virulently, angrily disagree with most of the other active posters. This is supposed to be fun. Go find a site or a VFW bar or something where you don't have to listen to stuff that so sickens you.

No issue with your ass preference here DH. In fact it sounds like we may have some "room" for agreement on this one.

Actually, I very rarely call out posters. Just pompous AH that continue to feel the need to look intellegent on a message board. Sad part is, you have a good baseball mind. Your an intelligent person. Not sure why you need that reassurance from posters that you'll most likely never meet.

    • I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.  
    • And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.
    • I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.  
    • Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
    • For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?
    • I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall? 
    • 192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
