It's always possible.

Then who pitches?

More crickets after a win.

I'm glad you fellas can find humor in just how bad our starting pitching is. I can't enjoy it like you do.

Certainly. But if you COULD do it given the schedule....

I'd have to say that would possibly be the case.

Why would we not put Vargas in Blanton's 3 spot? Is the reason because we'd have two lefties going consecutively? I say do it.

If that's so, then why didn't I delete it? I'm not OC Angels and maybe he'll come here and prove it to you, but frankly, who cares what you think? Other posters here do agree with me and it doesn't mean I'm also them. Oregon told someone else here to stop being such as "ass" when he attacked me. Am I also Oregon? By the way, you haven't posted a single contribution to the thread topic, but go ahead and play hall monitor and think up conspiracies.

I agree. I'd prefer not to have him. No argument there. Way back when I made my initial post here, I was directing my own angst at JD because I think it's his fault for bringing Blanton in. Like I said, I only see Frieri as his beneficial contribution, so far.

More personal attacks. What did I do to you? Noone has to come to my defense. You really discount others' credibility when you claim they do that. As far as having OC Angels as another account, it's not true. Feel free to ask a mod for an IP check, but being that obsessed about it would be rather pathetic, now wouldn't it? I have a few hundred posts here and have no problem holding my own. OC Angels doesn't have jack squat as far as that many posts. In fact he has a grand freaking total of 18 at this moment, so if I were using that moniker to do double-time defending myself, do ya think there'd be a few more posts for him? You need to STFU because you don't make any sense.

I'm not a newb. I posted under the old board for years. I believe OC Angels was being sarcastic on his own behalf, not mine.

Yeah, conveniently goes on the personal attack route and when you have a valid point, he evades it. I won't respond to people who just go personal, so yeah I'll "bow out" with this guy.

My point was the overreaction of certain fans on this site. Making statements that are not true, such as Blanton "sucks in every facet of the game", are pervasive here. You conveniently ignored that he is very good at fielding. This illustrates the total hyperbole so common on this forum. People get upset at losses. Well I'm damn pissed as well and I'm not even a season ticket holder. Somehow asking for a fan to quality their statement has turned me into a Blanton defender. LMAO.

And this is why I don't have conversations with you and hand full of others here. You go the ad hominem route for no reason other than you are a jerk.

Yeah, because our BP is so healthy and prepared to tackle more innings of work. LOL. But I see your point.

You asked.

But Robblin I've engaged you before and I'd prefer to avoid any more conversations. Thanks for playing.

OK, if you have to press me: fielding. He also hasn't missed any FREAKING GAMES THIS SEASON. Half of our staff is on the DL and dude at least shows up and tries.

He doesn't suck at every facet of the game, but he certainly isn't living up to his contract or JD's reasoning.

Haha, wow. Can you at least pass me a tissue because the thought of not having any more discussions with you is making me tear-up. Seriously, I don't know why it's necessary to attack me. Try attacking what I posted, instead. I stated that the "offense was the biggest disappointment". Never said it was the main problem.

I know we're losing another game, but no need to turn the angst towards me. My post was not meant to explain common sense to you. I find some comments here interesting and like to engage those arguments, hoping for an insightful response to my points. I have failed in this regard.

Totally agree. A previous thread asked what our biggest disappointment was for this season and I responded with the offense. We expected it to carry a mediocre pitching staff and it has not done that. It's a 50 million dollar a year disappointment.

Um, OK. Thanks.

It's simple: when a trade works out for you, it was a good trade. When it doesn't...

I agree. So does coach Mora.
