NL West Talk

[Montalban]

You are a special kind of stupid. You should be mute. It would make the world a better place.

I was just surprised that you would come out in defense of, and be whining and sniveling about, a seriously douchy event. One which you know is douchy. Its not that you are ignorant, and you actually believe nothing is wrong with it; you know it was douche-worthy and yet you come her sniveling about me calling him out.

 

[Montalban]

I will address the only baseball point you have attempted to make. And your point is bullshit. As usual. When Pence went down, we plugged in Blanco and he started regularly. It was the subsequent injuries to Pagan that muddied the water. If Panik were to go down, Tomlinson would take over, just as he did towards the end of last season. When Belt went down, Posey slid over to 1B and Susac caught before he got hurt. Cal brought up a valid point that was cleverly masked within a catchy headline. It is you that is talking nonsense and acting childish by bringing this shit to the main board. .

Bwa ha ha! Please! Blanco is a ready replacement for Pence??? C'mon now. Blanco should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Pence when talking about value and his ability to replace Pence.

A "catchy" headline? God god you are a boob. And do you actually think Tomlinson could not man third base? really? Seems to me that Duffy made a pretty smooth transition over there after being a backup middle infielder.

Ohhhh, so you stupidly expect a player to plug right in and produce essentially the same numbers as the All Star they are taking over for? What kind of idiot are you? I'm talking about plugging the hole in the dam. You are licking windows and breathing through your mouth expecting perfection each time. Put your helmet back on.

 

[Montalban]

I am guessing this is a response to NN? I didn't even realize he was still around. Ignore is such a beautiful feature.

Well, they do say that ignorance is bliss.

That is why you've got to learn to read before you go into a spittle-flying rage and start typing while still sniveling about something you read incorrectly. Now you look like a fool when you just could have re-read my post before you got your panties all bunched.

 

[dredinis21]

And just so everything is clear, here are Gregor Blanco's stats last season as he has shown upward trajectory with his offensive numbers from year to year.

G BA OBP OPS
115 .291 .368 .781

Those stats are above average for a leadoff hitter and if you factor in his defense and ability to play CF at a plus level, his value increases. But please, tell us about how he is a shitty replacement.

You never mentioned your stupidity towards the subject completely, you just hinted at it as usual with a flippant one liner. Either way, explain to me how Blanco was NOT a suitable replacement for Pence again?

 

[dredinis21]

Why not just title the thread accurately? If someone is interested they'll join in. But to see something that tells you one of the best players is out for the season and you open it up and its just nonsense is childish. Besides, the Giants have guys already who can adequately replace Duffy should he get hurt for a short period. No team, has ready replacements for players who go out for the year. To expect the Giants to have a guy ready is ludicrous.

Explain how these two sentences assume EXACT replacement production or how reading comprehension would help understand your idiocy further.

Just stop. You are digging a hole for yourself that you can't get out of. You look more and more foolish. Its Christmas Eve, for pete's sake, go be with your family and quit harping about nonsense on a message board.

Deflecting once again like a pussy to avoid responding because you have no response. Typical of you. I laid out stats to dispute your stupidity. Once again, you have nothing to follow up with in rebuttal of facts. There is no hole being dug, there is a point being made that you have no response to.

Its Christmas, I cannot pick on the mentally infirm today.

Posted this on the Giants board. FanGraphs has the Dodgers still winning it, and the Dbacks under .500

Still a bit early since more moves coming.

Path to the playoffs: NL West

I'll go under on Padres wins based off fangraphs.

He performed gymnastics worthy of at least a silver medal in the Olympics to explain away the Dodgers woes while essentially ignoring the Giants.

Next...

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pads surprise a but this year. They won't contend, that isn't what I am saying, but there are only 8 contenders in the NL this year. That means there are 7 also-rans.

Rockies - The Pads are better.
Brewers - Ownership already apologized to the fan base for what they will see this year.
Reds - I think they are ev n selling the window fixtures.
Braves - They will be a force in a couple years. 2016? Not so much.
Phillies - Bad GM, no plan.
Marlins - May be the class of this group, but still not a contender.

I think it is conceivable that the Pads might get to .500.

I think the Marlins have a shot to contend out of those teams, but still not expecting it. I'd say the Padres are better than the other 5 which would make them at worst the 6th worst team in baseball(fangraphs has them 5th worst). They could give the Dodgers/Giants/Dbacks some problems especially down the stretch of the season, but having 3 good-great teams in the NLW makes me not trust them reaching .500. Still not sure what Preller's plan is, if he's going for a full rebuild or just trying to shed some cash for 2016 in order to make bigger moves in 2017 or 2018.

Dodgers at 95 wins with no Greinke and nobody to really replace him, along with the top of the division getting tougher makes no sense. They could be the 3rd best team in the NLW, but even if they are still the best I don't see them 8 games better than SF and 16 games better than ARI.

Yup. It was a fine article if it was intended to run in the LA Times by a Dodger beat writer.

But to be a feature on a national "unbiased" site?

Like I said... "Next"

 

[dredinis21]

Chapman traded to the NYY. Mrs. Dredinis21 and her family (all Dodger fans) are NOT in the best of moods today. I on the other hand couldn't be much happier.
