It is a factor. By creating an account and using the board you are agreeing to the rules that have been set by the moderators. So as a user you may not get a say in setting those rules but there is an agreement that they will be followed. If you break that agreement you can be suspended or...

I'm really not sure of what attitude you're referring to. All I'm saying is that people are going to behave differently in different environments. Expecting otherwise is setting yourself up for disappointment. This isn't a place of business and it's not a country club. It's an internet...

100% agreed. And tbh I'm not sold on him being on the mound for any kind of high leverage innings. Particularly if the other guys on the staff step up and show to be reliable options. The stuff is absolutely tantalizing but there's been no signs he can harness it. 7 baserunners in 3 innings...

Spare me the platitudes. This here implies that there is a universal 'acceptable fashion' in which to behave which is not the case, never has been, and never will be. To think otherwise is completely out of touch with reality. Acceptable behavior at the dinner table at home is not the same as...

The bunt was executed well but that's a horrendous strategic decision. You willingly give up one of only three outs you have remaining and take the bat out of your best hitter's hands when he would have come up in a RISP situation where that runner is the tying run. We keep making calls that...

I'd be happy to roast you again if you'd like. We're doing this **** again after two games which is hysterical. The sample size isn't **** it's non-existent at this point. Like I said last year if his last name wasn't Hall you wouldn't give a ****. Maybe in a month's time he'll be hitting...

Well, yea. I mean this is an internet message board and work is work.

You missed the point my guy. I don't really give a **** about either one. So I'd equate them in the sense that they don't matter when it comes to the on field product. I agree with you that I think the bitching and moaning about that stuff is silly. I also think the bitching and moaning...

I've got enough experience to know that if I didn't want to deal with sports fans being "overly negative" about a team in the midst of their worst stretch in about 100 years I wouldn't go on an internet message board devoted to said team. What's your excuse?

I'm curious does this standard apply to all thoughts that can be expressed on the board or just the ones you don't like? Classic cope. 'My team sucks but at least I'm a better fan than everyone else here.'

I agree the teeth gnashing over some text on a sweatshirt is just stupid. But if feels weird to try and take a dig at "men" who care about what another man wear when we have a "drip walk" before every game. Clearly we have a decent number of those so called "men" in and running the program.

It's honestly baffling to me how out of touch with reality some of the posters here are with what happens when your team sucks and you go on the internet to talk about it. Entertaining at times but baffling nonetheless.

The amount of hand wringing about that thread is absolutely pathetic. There's more conversation about the thread polluting other threads by the same half dozen or so posters triggered by it then there is within the thread itself at this point. It's like some of you guys have never spent any...

Not even a little bit. Unless you've got championship aspirations at this point the bowls are meaningless and have been for a long time. Their primary purpose is to make money for ESPN via advertising dollars and the bowls themselves by forcing the schools attending to buy tickets at cost...

So the NFL, NHL, NCAA, MLB, NBA, MLS, NASCAR, FIFA, NPB, KBO, etc. are all not reasonable governing entities? Because last I checked they all counted 2020 as a real year. And those are just sports organizations. For plenty of other organizations outside of sports 2020 was a 'real year.' Not...

Focusing on the formations when first lining up while ignoring what's actually going on during the play coming out of those formations isn't exactly inspiring confidence in your ability to analyze what's happening on the field. But you described the previous scheme as a 'god forsaken offense'...

When you consider the demographics of the board it's really not all that surprising.

You have to have some level of self awareness to be embarrassed. I think he's made it fairly obvious over the years that he doesn't have any.

If you want to play that game I'm down. You could have a team that has more talent then everyone else they play but if the players don't know what they're supposed to do or what they're being asked to do has a glaring weakness that gets exploited it doesn't mean much. Talent can be used...

Is that what we're telling ourselves now?
