I said something to him, as did Denise.

Seems more like he’s just mad at OH for some reason.

I saw that and I really do appreciate it.  Two tweets a day, really, that's a problem.  Why belong to a community if you don't want to see content about the subject of the community.  Besides, if he really wanted discussion there is very intelligent and thoughtful discussions on OH.  He could join our forums.

He probably did at one point and didn’t like rejection of poor thoughts.

He seems to be pissed at the site from the tone and content of a few of his tweets.

Doesn’t Twitter exist for the sole purpose of people getting offended?

I have managed to live in modern society without having a Twitter account.  There are times I miss out on things but mostly what I miss out on is a lot of negativity and rudeness.   

It is annoying though that Twitter now doesn’t allow non-members lurkers to scroll past about five tweets on an account.   I do occasionally look at highlights and such.

100% this. Nobody cares about your opinions, Cody.

Lock 'er up.

I would never, ever sweat over what someone says on Twitter. You do a great job Chuck, keep it up! The only thing I would suggest is not to engage with the Twitteriots out there like this guy. This betamale has like 235 followers and he's calling you out? Even nobodies call this guy a nobody. :D

      Adley's health this season

      By e16bball · Posted

      Pulling on that trusty but extremely confusing data/graphic that @Tony-OH was referencing earlier, we see the following swing rates for Adley in the various zones (2022 / 2023 / 2024): Heart: 67% / 66% / 63% Shadow: 47% / 47% / 51% Chase: 19% / 18% / 26% Waste: 3% / 3% / 3% The short answer is that he did swing at a lot more bad pitches this year than he had before. And at less good pitches. One could probably quibble about whether shadow pitches are entirely “bad,” but there’s no doubt that pitches in the chase zone are just bad pitches to try to hit.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      I love to watch a Staff NCO completely lose it on his crew when they underperform in a crucial scenario. It's a thing of beauty when you see a GySgt, a SFC or a chief petty officer just go off on his group. The language is colorful, the volume is peaked and the intimidation factor is at an alltime high. If you've never seen it before in person you just don't appreciate the impact.  I recall entering a squad bay as a young LT and seeing my HMC holding a young sailor about 4 inches off the ground by his neck.  The remaining members of the squad bay were standing at attention next to their racks. The Chief was "providing focused and explicit instruction," for the young seamen. The sailors all appeared to be paying absolute attention to the instruction while not uttering a single word. I apologized to them both for the interuption as I moved to the next squad bay.  As I left I made a mental note to myself to check the chief's footlocker for bodies.....

      Yeah, everyone's different.  I can understand why a bad back and a bad hand would make someone an ineffective hitter. But Adley's chase rate went from 81st percentile to 47th percentile on statcast.

      What? On a competitive team you want to trade a GG centerfielder with 20-20 potential for a 4th outfielder?

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?
