@BiasedCubsFan Gets old calling everyone a regression candidate and not backing it up.

FireFriedmanNow
Good for you. Isn't that exactly what you did with Bucco's entire team earlier today? You know I'm a "wait and see" guy so this honestly shouldn't surprise you anymore.

FireFriedmanNow
I mean, I used to think buddies but the way he's been acting lately I honestly don't know. I'm just tired of him acting like he's superior.

YadiMolina
@FireFriedmanNow hey I was the first one to call him out for that

MakiIsBestGirl
@YadiMolina @FireFriedmanNow Don't know how I'm acting superior.

FireFriedmanNow
"I don't care about your opinion because you're just a pessimist"

We can't just disagree about something because you have to feel superior to the point where you're going after me for no reason whatsoever. Listen buddy, I know you're probably going through some sh!t right now, but that doesn't give you leave to turn on your friends.

MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow How did I go after you lol and I'm not going through anything right now lol Again you're being dramatic for no reason.

FireFriedmanNow
What's with this obsession with calling me dramatic when I'm not starting any of this? I made an if statement and you refused to just let me disagree. That's not drama.

MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow I mentioned his flyball % then you ask me why I can't deal with you disagreeing. Not sure how I started anything. Sorry if I expected you to back up anything you said lol

FireFriedmanNow
You created a whole argument after I had already stated (and you know) that you and I evaluate players differently. There was no way to respond to that because I evaluate in a larger context. And yet that's somehow drama. I really think you need to look up what that means bud.

But if calling someone a regress candidate is a bad thing, why were you able to say Bucco's entire team is full of them?


MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow I'll back up my opinions on those players if you want.


FireFriedmanNow
And I'll use the rest of Alonso's career to back up mine then. You know I wait for long term results so you know I'm not 100% buying that a new swing is what made him a borderline MVP. I really don't see why that's such a problem with you.

I mean heII, I still haven't taken part in anyone talking,up Bellinger because I'm waiting for regression from him and you know how much I love the guy.


MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow I never said there was a problem with that. But see no reason for you to voice your opinion if you're not going to back it up with anything substantial. Same stance I take with everyone else on the board.



Think its fun you say I think I'm superior yet you assume that I'm letting my personal life get in the way of how I've always been. Which is pretty condescending.


FireFriedmanNow
So we started all of this over you reading a "when" not an "if" then?

I never even asserted that he would regress. And forgive me if it hasn't seemed that you've been much colder recently whenever I talk with you. I don't think it's that out of the ordinary to think emotional problems get in the way of anything since that happens to literally everyone. I don't think that's superior at all. I know I was more of a je.rk when I was going through my breakup. That's not condescending at all, that's just human.



MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow I rag on everyone. I don't get why you think you're so special and that I'm only doing that in terms of you. Maybe I've been colder because you've been annoying me? Ever think of that?

FireFriedmanNow
And I've been trying to figure out why but you haven't said anything. Kinda bad to just shoot blindly bud.


MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow Because you don't back up your opinions with anything and just wait things out. I find that annoying personally. Same reason I find it annoying with Jords. The reason I never call Longo dramatic is because if I disagree with him he backs it up with stats or an actual argument not just a circutous point on looking at the guys career when the stats say they guy's changed.


MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow Ragged on Yadi for a year about IT until he became more efficient finally.


FireFriedmanNow
@MakiIsBestGirl @FireFriedmanNow You didn't call Yadi dramatic in almost literally every conversation based on a difference in how you evaluated things. That's the big thing for me. You can disagree without going after someone. And before you say it, yes, calling someone dramatic is going after them. It's essentially saying that their opinion is now irrelevant because they're just trying to stir up drama rather than just wanting to sit back and wait (i.e. a difference in opinion).

Why is it such a bad thing to wait things out then? Sure you can find it annoying, but that now gives you the right to be short with your friends and not say anything? That sounds passive-aggressive rather than anything else. And you find jords annoying because he's a massive homer, not because he wants to wait things out. He's not even a proponent for patience.



MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow @MakiIsBestGirl Alright. I'm done if you're going to ignore the point. I think its pointless to state your opinion if you won't back it up. Actually I called Yadi a lot of stuff lol. Specifically Kid.


MakiIsBestGirl
@FireFriedmanNow @MakiIsBestGirl I called Yadi a kid in almost every conversation. Again. You're not special. I think its 100% pointless to state your opinion if you're not going to back it up or someone's not directly asking you.


FireFriedmanNow
@MakiIsBestGirl @FireFriedmanNow Yeah, that's fine. How else would you like me to back up "be patient" though? There's literally no other way of me saying that it's not in my personality to just buy into something being a new improvement. Almost as a requirement now I have to look at both the risks and rewards, or benefits and costs, or essentially yin and yang. This forces me to see that there's probably (possibly) good and bad. So I still fair to see how else you'd like me to assert my opinion when that opinion is literally "I don't have an opinion until they've shown me that this is a long term change." Nowhere in any of this did I state that Alonso would regress. I simply said if. That implies it's possible he keeps this up but it's also possible he doesn't. I'm not stating an opinion either way, just saying that he's no sure thing.
