Why did you dodge my question? What are the "bigger stakes" you're referring to? Since so much is on the line, it should be pretty easy for you to articulate what these massive stakes are.

I criticize this team all the time. (Toral has been terrible, the middle relief has been pretty poor, most of the lineup hasn't gotten going, Gino plays too much small ball, etc.) But what the mopes do on this board, day-in and day-out, is on another level. It's like they are personally offended by any poor play. It's mindboggling and pathetic.

I would say it's also because they don't understand baseball: it's a long season and you can't read too much into any given play, game, series, or even month. Toral may hit 5 HRs this week and be on track for AA by the end of March. But the mopes seem to be mopes about other sports, too, so lack of baseball knowledge wouldn't explain it.

The future success of an athletic department that handles millions of dollars is directly affected by how it is handled today. If there aren't any bigger stakes, tell me why we pay the salaries that we do.

Oh my. The ISR is not predictive. It is retrodictive. Even Boyd Nation admits that.

Is it not? OK, my mistake. What predictive ratings do you like for baseball?

None. They're not supposed to be predictive. They are supposed to represent what has happened.

These are the same people who claimed Jarren was a Heisman front runner bc he competed 70% of his passes. They don’t believe their lying eyes

Uh, no. I was very very critical of the immaturity and lack of preparation from Jarren. Try again.

Here's a novel idea. Maybe we can be happy to win games and still acknowledge that improvement needs to be made.

Amen. Total agreement. After the games lets discuss stengths and weaknesses. During the games, cheer not jeer. Well said.

Putting two of your best bullpens arms (based on preseason) out there in the 7th inning and them not getting outs is not bad management.

Palmquist hopefully you are somewhere on post 2 #KTDT

Very provocative.
