Why is this most likely? because you want it to be?

No, because if you look at his twitter page none of the timestamps are during game time - and it stands to reason that if he was checking his messages during the game he would also be posting messages during the game.

Plus you don't have any evidence whatsoever that he does other than you want something else to ride him on.

This whole thing is completely ridiculous.

1) I am not talking about Twitter...i am talking about text messages.

2) I do not think he would be dumb enough to twitter during the game as he could obviously get caught rather easily.

He wasn't "challenging" anyone. God, it was a joke.

"funny how people thinks its easy from the stands." Is what he said before the batting practice quote. That's a lot like challenging us. No one is saying it's easy. He needs to stop worrying about the fans and just go out and do his job

Name one player you see taking a piss during the game.

So, you are saying that because we aren't with a player 100% of the time that means he might have the audacity to glance at his phone.

I mean, someone got shot last night during gametime! MY GOD! Adam Jones probably did that TOO!

I am looking at his twitter page now, I get his tweets. I did not get that tweet and that message is not listed.

So either someone is lying, or Adam chose to delete that comment very very quickly.

And considering that those messages were posted yesterday morning I am calling complete BS.

What do you expect? He's one of the whipping boys this year. A couple of people start saying he's an egomaniac and pretty soon others jump on the bandwagon, no matter how unfounded it is.

The guy could rescue 100 orphans from a burning orphanage and people would say he just did it for recognition or something.

He's not having a great start to the season. He hasn't been great since the first half of last season. He's got a lot of things to work on. I get it. But all of this ego crap and people saying he doesn't care and that he's nonchalant and that his AS/GG awards have gone to his head...it's just stupid.

He doesn't have to worry about the orphans...just hit above .250 and maybe crack 3 or 4 HR's a month...that would be a start.

I follow him as well and i did see those tweets yesterday. So it's not BS. He deleted them since then.

Okay, but do you have any proof whatsoever that he is checking messages during the game?

I mean you and I are on a message board during work. I have a student teacher running my class so I'm off the and I am listening and observing while reading and working on lesson plans.

Have I mentioned cells in the dugout?

Players after games always talk about looking at their phones after the game and getting multiple text messages after the game when they have a good night.

It is not realistic to think they check their phones during the game.

And it was not a joke, It was a sarcastic backhanded comment to the fans telling us not to tell him how to do his job. Fans have a problem with it because there's no need to do that. The fans pay your checks, just keep your mouth shut and play.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
