Um... no. I didn’t.

Weird thing to say that someone who mostly agreed with you. But, sure. Unless you think 7 singles total in 8 innings, with a whopping 3 in the final 7 (0 runs, by the way), is something to write home about. Then and only then, I guess, you might think my analysis was absent from reality.

To be honest, the offense was nothing special. 7 singles and 3 hits total after the 1st is nothing to write home about. But, yeah. It’s weird to ask for more from the top 3/4, when 5-9 had 1 hit total (“clutch” though it was - or, as clutch as you can get in the 1st inning of the 5th game of the...

Exactly. Used to. 10 years ago, sure. 3-4 years ago? Not so much. Hence... a page worth of our useless back and forth.

You see? that’s a measured, nuanced take that I can (mostly) agree with. This was my goal at the beginning - to call out your ridiculous hyperbole (by using a ridiculous point of my own) for what it was and get us back into normalsville. I know. I’m one of those hitters that could tell you. If...

17, 18, 19, 20 - did we throw “slow lefties three times a week” (your words)? I get it - the Bargfeldts and Radziewskis of the world aren’t very **** (they do seem to get a lot of college hitters out though - I’m guessing you watched our last two games...).

I know. I said the exact words (“he got hurt”). Maybe it was only 4, coulda swore it was more. Doesn’t change the fact he was a weekend starter. Can’t really blame the staff that one of their unicorns (college arms throwing 95 aren’t really common) got hurt. It was, clearly, part of the plan...

Fair enough - I don’t wholeheartedly agree, but that’s not what you originally said. I mean how many college staffs have three guys that sit 93+? Can’t be more than a handful every year (most of those guys are getting paid to throw baseballs) and I don’t think it’s a prerequisite to postseason...

Veliz was a starter. Period. Maybe you said the phrase “slow lefties three times a week” as some sort of hyperbole - sorry if I missed it - doesn’t make it any less untrue.

Forgot Veliz. So, yeah. For like the last three years we haven’t been trotting out multiple soft throwing lefties every weekend.

You been in a coma for the last 3-4 years?
