The can't miss number 1.for so long.

The speed, that cannon arm, that beautiful swing. had the scouts  falling  all over themselves, gushing.

It just hasn't happened.

With Ward, the Angels number one pick of 2015, having torn up both the Southern League, and the PCL, this year with almost eerie, consistency, and within a hare's breath of stepping on stage, in the show, has the time arrived to give up on Kaleb?

I'd like to hear @EnglishCop's take on this.

I, think he may, have an, issue or two with, some of the punct,uation.

Just a , hunch on my, part.

I see no issues with the post from Memories of Kindergarten.

Actually, "posit" was a bit awkward in that context, though not totally wrong. "Propose" is a valid synonym.

"Posit" more properly refers to something assumed as fact for the sake of argument.

It's just fine. It's all relative to the perspective of the person making the statement.

Or where @EnglishCop takes note of your post? 

You rang?

How can I be of assistance?

You're going to be charged a false alarm fee for the cost of this response if there isn't a valid complaint.

All fees are collected by @Geoff.

Your concerns are understood, but here's a few counter points:

Fletcher only has 132 MLB at bats coming into today. Mike Trout had a .671 OPS in his first 123 MLB at bats. I'm not comparing the two players, just stating that it's a little too early to start worrying about a guy who is batting .270 in his first cup of coffee. Besides, Fletcher isn't going to be a high OPS guy because he doesn't hit for power. He does need to work on his plate discipline though. 

Calling Fernandez shit is short-sighted (36 at bats, dude), but isn't terribly unfair considering he's already 30. Marte and Blash are both shit, that's fine. But Hermosillo? He's 23 years old. He's also had a whopping 39 at bats.

I'd also be interested in knowing why you feel Ward will be good but don't think Thaiss or Rengifo will be anything special. Thaiss has hit at every level consistently (unlike Ward) and Rengifo is 21 years old and has a .305/.404/.458 slash line across 3 levels this year, not to mention 38 (!!!) stolen bases.

Jeez, when did you start writing serious replies. Hate to encroach on @EnglishCop territory, but I think you forgot a semi COLON in there. Somewhere. 

1) I generally avoiding touching anything @tdawg87 posts due to my fear of disgusting things, especially when the word colon is being used.

2) You forgot a question mark in there somewhere in the first sentence.

Help... @EnglishCop!

Edit: Just noticed this is a craig, sorry but we still need @EnglishCop‘s most urgent assistance.

I'm not sure why you guys are asking for my help. I'm here to address issues with English, not whatever gobbledygook @stormngt happened to be using in that post. This is out of my domain, gents.

You should know me by now, hombre. Caps aren't my thing unless my iPad does it automatically.

Hola, hombre.

I guess that goes for punctuation as well, El Perezoso?

“We’re vegan activists, and we want to bring awareness to what fish go through," said protester Daniel Veber to WCET. “Look at it from this fish’s point of view. If you were in your home, you would not want a hook to be hooked in the mouth, you would not want to be pulled up, you wouldn’t have to fight hours for your life to be pulled up. It’s scary.”

i guess that rules out @EnglishCop as a vegan north carolinian.

i GUESS this PoSt rules you out as An eduCatOr that knoWs how To UsE the shift bUTtoN corrECTly.

Take it easy on @Griffey's Corner, please.

It's admirable enough that a kindergartner is engaged enough baseball-wise to participate in online discussions about the game.

Troll Daddy's English skills update from EnglishCop: they're still really bad.

Some of the engines they put in the expensive ones are killer fast, I wouldn't doubt, but for the most part Camaro's are garbage.

Somebody's punctuation skills are garbage.

@EnglishCop?

Well, where were you when you made the post? Also, when are you planning on returning @Troll Daddy's question mark key? He wasn't able to use it in either his original or his edited post.

It’s never been terrible like the narrative here said.  We have some good arms that’s are over used.  That’s the problem. We’ve had way too many short outings from starters.  Partially to be expected with the injuries our group of starters are returning from.  I’m not trying to give Eppler a pass.  I think he could have done better getting the group of pitchers together.  But sometimes what makes sense is seeing what you have and letting the chips fall.  You just have to see what you have.  Anyway, with the usage guys like Ramirez and Alvarez have had.  It’s pretty predictable they’d have bumps in the road.

This looks like something I would write.

On 7/9/2018 at 5:40 PM, Taylor said:

Although Jeff, I think you'd use the correct version of to/too. 

I assume that Jeff would have just used the English language rather than whatever UTH employed.

"We have some good arms that’s are over used."

C'mon, @UndertheHalo.

I would have fixed that but I figured no one was reading this thread. @Chuckster70

I'm sorry to have responded so long after this post.

I'll just see it as a Ms.d opportunity.

Your posts are often an insult to both language and logic.

He's a similar hitter to Machete.   Downside is his CS% has fallen from around 43% in 2015-2016 to 30% since then, while Machete has thrown out around 43% of basestealers since coming here.   Plus McCann would need time to learn the pitchers here.   I'd just assume re-sign Machete.

Right.  He's poking fun at you for saying, "I'd just assume..." rather than, "I'd just as soon..."

There's use for a machete, but I don't have time to track down AO's grade school instructors.

Let's not limit this to technology, compadre. I need a WTF button for approximately 23% of your posts. I'd arrest you if I could.

Cause i don't take forums seriously enough much like twitter. In general I could careless about people that troll forums complaining about grammar.

This is what I would say in response to Brandon as well if I happened to be an idiot.
