The official board of angry patrons versus Jagr thread

[Peter Gibbons]

Except, of course, to the committee that will look at how a team got to its win total.

If Q4 was the be-all then no SEC teams would host and none of their bubble teams would ever get in. They lead the "P5" world in his category.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

So instead of looking across the whole country to find kids who have the right combination of skills, academics, and financial stability, just hope we can find a roster full of them in three counties in Florida.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Of course, no one ever said it was the "be-all", but most failed posters have to exaggerate to make their points.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

But you're right. Q4 wins mean nothing. But that doesn't stop this board from celebrating a series win over UMBC.

I didn't see any celebration for beating UMBC but I think that would beat celebrating losses to Columbia and NC State like you.

Right. It's so easy. We have an unlimited scouting/recruiting budget for baseball.

You have all the answers.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Celebrating losses? Like I said about failed posters having to exaggerate.....

Hyperbole doesn't make you sound any smarter. You don't have to have an unlimited budget to find players in the year 2019. You don't have to fly to watch kids in person.

This is of course a purposeful misrepresentation.

Miami does recruit outside the tri-county area and outside Florida.

Otherwise, how would you account for Jordan Lala, Chris McMahon, Slade Cecconi, Tony Jenkins, Chad Crosbie, Chet Moore? And guys who signed but didn't enroll like Brennan Davis? Or next year's recruits like Jason Diaz, Austin Thomas, Jared Thomas, Austin Bradbury?

You don't deal in facts.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Nobody celebrated wins over UMBC.

I would be able to make a much stronger case to support my claim that you celebrate losses.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Miami doesn't recruit outside the tri-county area unless those players and/or their travel ball coaches contact Miami first. That is a fact.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Of course, no one ever said it was the "be-all", but most failed posters have to exaggerate to make their points.

3 years ago you said that top 50 wins didn't matter.

Now they're worthwhile.

You may think I exaggerate but you just flat out make stuff up.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Top 50 wins only mattered to you when you had to defend 2014. They mattered retroactively because Morris needed a hero.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

This would require believing something that you say.

Which I don't.

No, I said it at the time.

You said they didn't matter at the time.

Now, all of the sudden you bring them up.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

When did I bring up top 50 wins? Nothing but lies and hyperbole.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

"all of the sudden"

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

For the newbie baseball fans who are joining us, Quadrant 1 isn't "top 50".

 

[Peter Gibbons]

When did I bring up top 50 wins? Nothing but lies and hyperbole.

Here.

I'm here right now. Thanks for your concern, though. I am jumping for joy that we swept a top-150 team. Now about Quadrant 1.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Quadrant 1 isn't top 50. Good grief.

 

[Peter Gibbons]

Quadrant 1 isn't top 50. Good grief.

It's not in NET which is used for basketball but everything I've seen with the RPI with baseball it is.
