  1. This is a reasonable answer. Thanks.
  2. I’d like to understand the third way proposed by those objecting to the premise of the thread. Every detailed explanation of the supposed “false dichotomy” so far has just been a defense of moral relativism. Which is one of the options in the poll. Im not sure what I’m missing.
  3. So there aren’t objective moral facts in your view. The second option of his alleged “bullshit” statement. I really don’t understand the reaction to this entire thread.
  4. If not angry, irrational.
  5. And Alvarez’s are better than either of them.
  6. I’d say that strongly implies multiple trips.
  7. Diaz was worth about 3 WAR more than Maldonado by both fangraphs and baseball reference despite having fewer plate appearances, in a division won by a tiebreaker on the last day of the season. Simply flipping the number of games started at catcher (117! vs 42) is likely enough to have made a difference in the standings by a couple of games. Its beating a dead horse, I know-but it’s not at all hard to argue with those results.
  8. He actually described it as dastardly first, which is even more egregious.
  9. They’re orange. That’s just weird lighting.
  10. Your worst hitter is in the spot in the lineup where your best hitter should be is the biggest problem. But the guys in the lineup are much more important than batting order, so big deal.
  11. Alvarez was out more than twice as long yet somehow has more plate appearances.
  12. How could he have possibly been more careful than he was in those quotes?
  13. Obviously. The justification for it is though. That’s the point. He doesn’t want to play him for who know why and then makes up his reasons on the fly. It’s why he’s all over the place in that article-there are no valid reasons. It’s unjustifiable.
  14. It’s an imaginary issue. It’s just an excuse for whatever his real reason is for not playing him. If it weren’t the extra 4 lbs, he’d make up something else to try to justify it.

  16. This is not the great argument you think it is-it actually just demonstrates how he’s been misused. He was on the IL for 3 weeks compared to 7 weeks for Alvarez. Even with the all-star break and a day off thrown in here and there, he should have about 100 more plate appearances than him, not 20+ fewer like he does now.
  17. Nah not when he’ll be 32 on the first year of the new contract.
  18. They’re not trading a top 5 CF with 3 more years of team control.
  19. I don’t believe he’s actually the one choosing Dubon.
