@KW2024xi@VDHanson He studied the Ancient Greek Sophists and sophistry very well. “Today, a sophist is a person who reasons with clever but deceptive or intellectually dishonest arguments.” —indeed.
@North2North I think he is just saying how after playing days and as an older person he reflected on it more. As a player he was, from my observance and recollection, still always nothing but class and fan friendly.
@brewpackred@North2North@Cubs He could but he didn’t really have to b/c the exceptional arm of Hader in his prime and (Williams’ changeup in his prime) bailed him out in so many games, giving the team (and CC) wins. They came into jams or small leads and no contact (K’s) prevented ball from being put in play.
@brewpackred@North2North@Cubs He needed to finish winning something in Milw and the franchise that groomed him, before taking another big gig. Then nobody would’ve had a problem. He blew the 2018 pennant. Look up game situation - 7th inning gm 4 in LA. A bunt or sac would’ve ultimately won that NLCS.
@brewpackred@North2North@Cubs He leans more to the analytic/hr & walks, strike out no big deal generation. Murphy plays old school to win from a mix and leadership. CC was successful and had endorsements/key to the state for life. But he damaged a fragile franchise. Attanasio outflanked him and hired Murph.
@edindjapo@GeryWoelfel Or their 58 win coach, whose star went out of control again on a unnecessary attempt at a dunk and injured himself again, sealing the fate of that playoff exit.
@AdamMcCalvy Can you please ask why this Woodford is still on the roster. From Opening Day, giving up the only run in the top of the 9th, he has been AWFUL. Rodriguez or somebody else can’t fill his spot better???
@LindaKaufmBrew@Wisconsin_fam The best manager in franchise history right now with Bamburger and Kuenn and if a pennant let alone a WS is sealed a Lombardi-like level legend forever in the state.
@wtfisthisteam@JeffPassan And he was t going to do it again. Murphy was ticked and met with him, and he promptly apologized. For Manfred and MLB to do this is overkill and exposes their favoritism by not doing the same to the Cubs’ Armstrongwhich was more direct of an offensive attack on a an individual.
