@AaronJFentress I’m not calling you a lair I’m saying they made a decision I agreed with at the time, that you yourself mentioned you weren’t following as a non baseball sports writer. Calling them wrong now isn’t correct. They’re a mess of a franchise but I agree with their no trade
@AaronJFentress You’re a sports writer who doesn’t invite others to speak? My point is you are saying it was foolish after the fact. Anyone can see it now. You yourself said you don’t write for baseball. You don’t know how uneasy the decision was when they were in playoff contention.
@AaronJFentress I mean, sucks it didn’t work out, but using the knowledge we know
Now against them to me is unfair. Use the knowledge we knew at the trade line to make an argument and I’ll hear you out. Otherwise you’re missing the entire point of an underdog.
@AaronJFentress I watched the sport. They had a chance at resigning and were within 5 games of playoffs. Knowing this are you calling them crazy keeping their best player????
@SPeeblesSports I moved to Portland so I watch him a lot. He actually had an amazing start to the season last year too, but broke his foot (kicking a water coolers) tons of potential.
@notgaetti They were fine defenders, not elite defenders, and the Yankees were a well constructed team at the time. Easy. Next question lol. You act like metrics considered them a liability, which simply isn’t the case lol.
@notgaetti genuine question why do new age stats make you grumpy. Don’t you enjoy more opportunities to learn about metrics that drive the game? Also what 200 hitter with 40 home runs do we call a great hitter. Not sure anyone calls Joey gallo a good hitter?
@notgaetti My qualm with Rickey is he kinda stat padded. Like he stole 3rd when situationally he could’ve mitigated risk by staying on 2nd and still easily be able to score.
