Or it was a typo.

Didn't you say Flacco was going to be a bust?

Yeah, that must have been a typo too, as I correctly called Boller a bust virtually before anyone. BTW, how many bold predictions have you made? If I had to guess I would probably say nada, as people who like to point out where others are wrong never have the stones to put themselves out there in the first place.

I work in politics and I once had lunch with a great political reporter (who will be left nameless) and I asked him who he thought would be the next president (this was in 2007). He told me that, as a reporter, he doesn't make predictions because they skew his own perception of the truth. Once you make a prediction the competitive instinct in you wants to be correct and you perceive things accordingly.

Take note.

And congratulations for thinking Kyle Bowler would be a bust. True boldness is rare.

LOL.

Tons of people thought Boller would be a bust...his completion percentage in college was very iffy and was a red flag for many.

Keep making bold predictions tho, in the end it DEFINITELY proves your intelligence....seriously...I've seen many from you and when I weigh the ones that were right vs wrong...I get a crystal clear picture of how smart you are.

I never said I was smart. I just ain't scared to be wrong. BTW have a nice day!:)

As you so often like to say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut.:thumbsup1:

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
