"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
In Boston it would be said that "Your an instigatah".
Lol.

I like Devers but all of his throws that I saw (4?) him throw were poor.
On the positive side today I learned that Pearce can pick it. If not for him the Tigers would have had several more men on base.
If the sucky Thornberg can pitch as he pitched today, it could be huge.
I want to know who to blame for the 3rd base running gaff. I think it was the coach who fucked things up.
I like wins.

Simpletons do like to take the bait, what can you say
I'm more than that, at least I think I am.
What you say usually amounts to shit.
That's kind of insane, isn't it?
At any rate, I'll take it.
And he saved Devers two errors today.
^^This.
Kelly didn't help himself out after that, but that error might have changed the entire complexion of the inning.
Read the thread.
This is a familiar idea.

while others just stay away from the game threads.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

I blame the 3B coach for that one. Looked like Xander could've scored, and he was originally waving, which Devers saw and started running, then held up Xander (I don't know why, he probably scores). It ended up not mattering at all, but still, Febles needs to be better, he's had a lot of issues.
By the way, Pearce has been an excellent addition, he can rake, play multiple positions and seems like a solid base runner, defender and a great guy/teammate. Very good get.
Reminds me of an old joke dating back to when there was smoking seating on airplanes.
Attendant: "Welcome to American Airlines. Would you prefer smoking or non-smoking?"
Passenger: "I don't smoke, but I'd prefer the smoking section."
Attendant: "Why is that? You must realize that's not the healthiest area to be seated."
Passenger: "Thank you for your concern, but that's where the interesting people are."
IOW, the game thread is where the interesting people are.
And even in some cases where they aren't anymore! lol
