GDT: Red Sox vs. Astros, 6/2/2018

[astrosdoug]

Instead of this day-to-day BS, the Astros need to put Marwin on the DL and bring up White. That move alone would probably add around 0.2 runs per game on average, a significant boost over the course of a month or a season.

[astrosdoug]

White must have heard about Marwin's misfortune. Tyler hit 2 HRs today, both solo shots.

I do not understand why Hinch is in love with Will Harris........how many leads does he have to give up before he figures out that Harris is not reliable. He is always one pitch away from hanging a cutter lihe he did to Vasquez and Benintendi.

What good is a cutter that isn’t thrown inside to hitters?

The coach doesn't know the difference between a cutter and a breaking ball. Cutters don't hang, they just don't move, breaking balls and sliders hang.

Kimbrel is automatic.

That, my friend, is a closer.

Only a few like that out there. We could say the same thing about a few other positions we're lacking better players at.

And even Kimbrel has blown two saves this year.

And you don't know what you are talking about.......a cutter that doesn't cut, hangs in the middle of the plate to get hit out of the park by good hitters....Failing to cut and "hanging" are basically the same thing with predictable results.

I see you are still the same smartass you were on the old board.  Deciding to nitpick over a couple of words shows how desperate you are to look to look knowledgeable.......better luck next time.

I didn’t say we needed a future HOF like Kimbrel, but he is the guy we hoped Giles can become. He’s the barometer in which you use to judge how well a guy can handle pressure.

You are right, dumbass......you were dumb on the old board and you are still dumb.  I have tried to co-exist with you, but, this is the second time (unless I missed something) that you have made one of your smartass remarks to me to try and start another argument. I have never pretended to know everything, but, it is more than evident that I know a damn sight more than you and you can't stand it.  I am not looking for an argument with you, but, I am not going to take crap from you, either.  Since you live up in the Quaker state, why don't you be a Pirate or Phillies fan and lend your level of expertise to one of them.  You remind me a lot of txcolt..........envious of those who have done things that you were too DUMB to do

If chads can hang, then so can cutters...

Children, Children, Children.....Look - Corch, your infamous hindsight posting of what you did on the old forum, for some, has not been unforgotten. You are still doing it, albeit to a lesser extent...You even admitted yourself, you did rub a lot of people the wrong way....The Rub is only good if it is rubbed right, you did some bad rubbing....

Like my dad always said...if you don't want problems, get the good rubbers...and then something like: he got a bad rubber and 9 months later I was born....I never understood quite what he meant by that.....

Never intended to rub people the wrong way, but, it happened and I won't apologize for mentioning my background. I did admit to rubbing some the wrong way.....mature people get over it. This guy can't let it drop.  Mentioning it was not an attempt to imply that I am smarter than anyone else but, if some took it that way, that is their problem. I explained and even apologized more than once.  I am not the one who can't seem to let things drop that happened on the old board. If this paastrosfan or whatever his name is still feels like I was trying to impress people that is his problem. He started this BS again here.......not me.  I made a comment about Harris' cutter and here comes this smartass trying to start something else.  You said I am "still doing it".... point out what I have said that indicates that.  If that guy is still butt hurt and can't get over things, it is his problem.  If he comes at me with some smartass crap like calling me "dumb" and telling me I don't know anything about how pitches can hang or flatten out, I will respond.  If he is a qualified pitching coach, maybe he can provide evidence.    My guess......he doesn't know a damn thing about pitching but wanted to try to stir up some crap with me.  It is not the first time he's tried that on this board.

tried to send you a message, thomas....don't know if I did it right.  

I take no offense to what thomas said.  Yes, Eddie as a little female dog, but, this other character who can't seem to get over things has a little of Eddie built up in him.

I think having fights break out on the board is a good way to increase traffic. I mean when you think about it, viewers love a good fight. The trick is to market it in a really good way so everyone will come back for round 2
Like, if it was revealed the two board members fighting with each other were of a different race, and that would be why they're at each other's throats every day
The only thing is how many page views we could withstand from bumping us into a higher fee bracket, but I for one would be willing to forego ad-free in order to make it happen

Of course that's just one idea. I'm not a racist or anything

I don’t even mind internecine fighting. I just don’t like pounding on someone incessantly without cause. Corch was an entire twat when he first started posting, but he’s come around and is a part of our group. Being mad at him over him being a twat a year ago, and passive-aggressively slamming him even on innocent, non-controversial posts, is just unnecessarily twatty.
