chasfh

Please tell me you're not making the leap from my saying Avila was incompetent, which he was, to me saying that the Tork pick was an incompetent pick, which was something I definitely did not say.

Again, I really don't think people here want to see an actual litigation and a defense from me of my record of Avila opinions. Even I would find that boring, and it's about me! We were talking about the Tarik Skubal pick, and I'm willing to discuss that. So how about we get on that track and you tell me why you believe the Tarik Skubal pick was a genius move by Avila and his draft team?

Are you responding to something I said about the Tork pick?

Well, I don't think people want to have, or hear, a discussion of how much credit chasfh is nor is not giving Al Avila. That seems outside the scope of any discussion I've seen around here, at least so far. Also, I don't know why you're quoting me on the word "stench", since the only time I've ever used that on this forum was in relation to how gambling is stinking up the game. If you're going to quote people, you might consider doing it right, or else people won't take you seriously, assuming that's important to you..

Are we no longer talking about the Tarik Skubal pick? Are we talking about me now? Is that what this is coming down to for you?

Fire Hinch and Harris! And while you're at it taking Fetter with you! 😝

My question is how can this be spun this as some kind of genius draft move.

Don't want to stand in front of her in a crowded elevator.

Right. and I believe it cost him MVP votes.

Well, that's very different ...

Is “misconstruing” the right word here? Doesn’t that suggest an honest misunderstanding? Because I don’t think they’re honestly anythinging, let alone misunderstanding. They know what they’re doing.

I’m sorry, Comey was in the room during the payoff arrangement and heard the whole thing? I hadn’t heard this. What was the pretext for him being there?

Looks like she’s packing heat.

Comey also borked Hillary, so, pound of salt with this guy’s word.

Of course Trump won’t testify. After all, he did say he would.

Fun fact: they are litigating age of consent. https://www.salon.com/2018/03/11/banning-child-marriage-in-america-an-uphill-fight-against-evangelical-pressure/

Some of these players will fail because Harris ****ed them up, even though Avila brilliantly brought them into the system. Some of these players will succeed despite Harris, because Avila brilliantly brought them into the system. 😁

Jobe at #10, Max at #13. The fine folks at Fangraphs continue to be far less impressed by our top two prospects (Jobe at #19, Max at #43) than the fine folks at the Mothership say they are. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board

What’s silly? Would you give him two more years to stick around? Three?

Yeah, writers hated Ted Williams.

Plus, DiMaggio, sure, he had a great eye and great bat control with power, but he also faced pitchers who threw probably in the mid-80s without weirdly-shaped pitches, including hardly any sliders, so they couldn’t strike anyone out. Plus, he could hit the ball into spacious outfields where fielders were pushed back to defend against the inside-the-parker, especially in Yankee Stadium, where CF was almost 500’ and even straight left was over 400’, and most of the other parks were also well over 400’ deep in the LCF alley, which allowed singles to drop in front of them—the conditions were the best they would ever be for a super-long hitting streak.

Not a bad pick considering he’d been passed on 254 times before it.

This Colt Keith fella can hit a little bit.
