Roch: Decisions Still Pending

I think Roch gets more flack because he can often be very argumentative and defensive, especially on Twitter. That's what bothers me at least. He makes some ridiculous statement, like defending Buck's decision to bat Chris Davis lead off, and then has the nerve to snap back at people when they call him out on it. He'd be better served just posting his team propaganda then walking away. 

And yet here we are, talking about him.  Giving him clicks.  Mentioning his twitter page.

I'm convinced that guys like him, and to a further degree, Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless are here to take bad viewpoints and back them.   Devil's advocate, if you will.  It doesn't do any good for two talk show hosts to just sit there, make logical points and agree with each other.  No, there has to be some tension and disagreement to keep eyes on the show.  

Roch needs to keep snapping back on Twitter to increase engagement.  If he just walks away, people stop commenting/talking and he's there to...drive team propaganda and keep people engaged.

I hear ya. We certainly live in an age of saying outlandish things just to get clicks and notoriety, but I guess the difference (to me) is that Roch is just a mouth piece for the team. So he's defending thoughts and ideas that aren't even his own. I personally stopped following him in Twitter so he had the opposite effect on me. I might be in the minority though.

Yep, we are.  Skip Bayless has made a living off it.  No way anyone can be that dumb.  

Roch has a funny tweet every once in awhile, I don't really look at him religiously though.

Have you tried listening to Vinny Cerato?

How the heck, was he ever a NFL GM?

Dan Snyder isnt a GM nor is he pretending to be Jerry Jones any longer.

But, you know that

Doug Gottlieb is pretty unbearable too.

He's the worst and to your question I have no frickin' idea.

Well if he's the mouthpiece for the team, what'd you expect? 

Touche.

Roch is really touchy. His Twitter arguments get to unprofessional levels. So, you're right, maybe that is a reason why he gets a lot of flack.

He bans people from commenting on his blog pretty regularly for disagreeing with him.

plenty of people disagreeing with him on his blogs. I suspect he goes after the trolls and the repeat offenders.

Smuck can be pretty bad at times, and then he goes and surprises you with a decent article.

It is just when he is in a bad mood he bans a bunch of people.

I stop visiting the place, the posters were 100x worse than being in the Orioles Game Day thread.
