    The fact that you feel the need to tout your resume to a bunch of people on the internet is the most hilarious thing I've seen on this board since I've joined. "I'm not dumb! I don't say ridiculously idiotic things! That is impossible! See, I'm an engineer. So it would be impossible for me to be a moron." That's basically where this whole thing started. You are so thin skinned that instead of trying to defend your ridiculous points, you just fall back on some resume that exactly 0 people have verified.
    Well, you're only role here is to support Enscheff's jock. I've never seen you add anything to this board besides putting your nose in his ass or putting him on a pedestal.

    AA cannot let the Phillies get JTR. That'd be unacceptable.
    This would be so Braves.

    But I don't believe there are many managers, even analytical ones, that removes their ace in the 6th inning of a 1-0 game if they haven't thrown over 90 pitches (aside from injury obviously). So yes, I think it absolutely means something. Even the Dodgers routinely let Kershaw go 6 innings or more in 21 of his 27 starts.

    Being too analytically driven can you cost you games like this. Gabe Kapler is living proof of this and we saw it first hand at the start of the season.
    Kershaw and the other top 5% of SPs...yes. Everyone else? It's not a hard decision.

    But by all means, keep bringing up the rare cases as proof haha.

My company is an integrator/manufacturer of multi-million dollar automated logistics systems, so in order to do the sales role, you really have to know the technical side. I spent 3 years in system engineering with my company before moving over to sales.

    Are we seeing a pattern as to who's the problem?

    Is everyone just supporting my jock, or is CrazyTrain just a fool?

    Notice he can't even acknowledge the moronic things folks call him out for stating?

    Sales engineer indeed! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!

    Not true! I was the one that pointed out how dumb you were for suggesting Kevin Gausman's 2.7 BB/9 rate was somehow bad. That was my crowning achievement.

    But other than that, you're probably right... good thing I'm an irreverent asshole!

    Eww. HELL NO.
    If the Phils are offering Sixto plus Alfaro plus another lower level guy as has been rumored, a Riley plus Anderson package would be required to compete with that.

    That's an awful lot to give up for JTR, and I wouldn't fault AA if he decided against it.

    Folks round here have embraced that calling people stupid and attacking their profession makes their arguments better.

    Who's the real slim shady though?

    Phillies are in the lead in Realmuto derby. Sixto and Alfaro are agreed upon but working on the rest. Marlins seek Bohm, Haseley, Moniak or Medina. Phillies want to limit the number going south. @jonmorosi and @Joelsherman1 r on top of it

    WOW. The Phillies are getting fleeced.

    Let the Phillies deplete their system for a 2 year rental. That’s fine.

    OK, cool. I'm glad you're so proud of that accomplishment. Now, you can go back to patting Enscheff on the groin after he says something you will undoubtedly agree with.

    You are correct on one thing, you are definitely an irrelevant asshole.

    When someone tries to prove how smart they are by calling themselves a sales engineer, they deserve to be mocked haha.

    Yeah if they want to pay that much then we’re just out of luck. Don’t blame AA for not topping it, but definitely hurts our chances this year

    Don't think he's a rental for Philly. They have money.

    Yeah, Atlanta is likely behind the Nats, Mets and Phillies at this point. We're good, but the division has gotten so much better. I understand what AA is doing but he's likely wasting a year.

    You might want to spruce up your reading skills if you're gonna continue being so smart, Mr. Scientist.

    What are you even talking about? I guess it's time to put you on ignore like Enscheff. Goodbye.

    I mean, come on. If someone is trying to support their argument and/or impress an internet message board by touting their status as a sales engineer... that is pretty freaking funny

    You misread the word irreverent for irrelevant.

    If you need help, here is the definition: ir·rev·er·ent
    Dictionary result for irreverent
    /əˈrev(ə)rənt/
    adjective
    adjective: irreverent

    showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously.
