Own what? It's because there's nothing more to say. It's purely speculative. Should I know how much contact they had through the course of an entire season and what effect it might have had? Maybe it had none, maybe it had some, maybe it took time.
It's purely speculative. And
completely unfounded. And frankly sounds kinda racist. Why smear two guys with nothing to back it up? Well, why not?
Hey, I went to a Rome game last week and noticed that Braxton Davidson didn't give Albies a pound when Albies was on his way back to the dugout after scoring a run. Then he turned around and did it really halfheartedly and didn't even smile. Is there a rift in Rome's clubhouse? Is Braxton a cancer? Does he think that Albies is a little prick? I dunno. It looks suspicious. Anyway, I'm just passing along what I saw. It's purely speculative.
And, fwiw, I did actually attend a game and saw exactly that. So I'm not, in fact, the mysterious man that you're at war (or WAR) with, the one who consumes advanced metrics and never watches actual games and has the temerity not to have been born early enough to remember the 80s and how bad they were. I'm not stalking you, buddy, its just that I've memorized your schtick because about half your posts are weird rants against the boogieman referenced above, who apparently is some kind of shapeshifter who takes a different form on different days. You unload with both barrels on whoever is your target of the day, and . . . it's . . . just . . . weird.
After setting aside those and the ones bragging about being the Greg Maddux of the ignore feature, your posts are often worthwhile and interesting, which is why I've always avoiding kicking a stupid hornets' nest like this, being mostly a getting-along-type mother****er.
You're the one who's intimating something. What is it? Hell, it would've been great if Jurrjens could've come back and contributed like he did at his best, but he didn't. Same thing happened back in 2001 with Avery but at far greater odds. Presumably, he had some things to share with the up and comers. We ran into each for a moment, exiting, and it was extremely positive and memorable encounter. (If you really insist on personal opinions of encounters with players, I can elaborate, but none have anything to do with opinion on what happened on the field. Some great stories over the years!)
Awesome, I'm happy for you. I had an extremely positive and memorable encounter with an advanced statistic this one time, but I'm sure it wasn't nearly as satisfying. Anyway, you've brought the Julio/JJ thing up before, and you brought it up now. It was bull**** then, and it's bull**** now. You're a weirdly abrasive dude who comes off like you're both 13 and 72, simultaneously. It's kinda sadly hilarious for someone whose stock-in-trade is attacking other posters unprovoked to be complaining that he's being unfairly pursued.
Since you're so attuned to my posting history, I included everything above here and at Scout.
Again, it's pretty memorable, if only for the sheer repetition. Akin to watching an unmedicated schizophrenic stand on the same streetcorner and rant at passers-by day after day. It's not pretty, but eventually it just part of the landscape.
Direct warning: the G-Braves are playing the Buffalo Bisons in just over a week and half (deep breath) and there's going to be a thread about the series. Some people actually appreciate it. Clearly, you and Braves1976 are personally offended that somebody should actually attend games and offer direct impressions, right, wrong or indifferent
Clearly.
(yes, the OP has already expressed that view, and he'd never previously been personally provoked by me). Since that's an apparent problem for you, him and maybe a few others, it's best not to access the thread when it appears.
No, I think that he and I and maybe a few others will sit around and plot your downfall, offended as we are by the nerve of a fella to go to a baseball game and post about it. Makes my blood boil just thinking about it.
Is that was this is really about? Since you're now stalking me, my post count pales in comparison with yours. What specially disturbs you? Seriously, there have been plenty of posts in other threads that were A LOT more controversial over the last several days. Something's bothering you. What is it?
I don't recall anything controversial. Just dumb and possibly sorta racist. But yeah, that's it.
One last thing, apparently "yeezus" still hasn't gotten the hint. He's been on my ignore list for about a year and half. Unfortunately, his replies still activates my alerts. "Kimbrel's going to get 20MM/year on his next contract!" Somebody tell him to go get laid. For the first time.
I ignore him, too. He's really gotten to big for his britches and become quite a caricature of himself, but I'm pretty sure he gets laid on the reg—oh, wait . . . you don't mean HIM, you mean the guy who posts here by that name.
Sure, I'll tell him, next time I crash a meeting of Guys Who Cut And Paste From Fangraphs And Don't Watch Actual Baseball Games And Don't Remember the Pain of the 1980s Anonymous.
Knuckle on, my man.
