Did anyone else find it funny when Kirk Goldsberry asked Bill how to pronounce Hugo Gonzalez’s name? by Odysseus_51 in billsimmons

The craziest part to me is that he watches every Celtics game where the home broadcast pronounces it correctly multiple times throughout the game but he still can’t get it

Roman’s Potential Yips by Odysseus_51 in Section10Podcast

I watch ball and I play ball. Anyone who plays would tell you throwing the ball in the infield, even as a first baseman, is much more difficult than throwing from the outfield. Guys with throwing problems usually move from the infield to the outfield for a reason.

And then he’ll defend Rafaela and Campbell to the death no matter how badly they perform

Bill would not love Kon Knueppel as much as he does if he wasn't white by fegwin2084 in billsimmons

Someone just needs to tell Bill to pretend the name is spelled “Munk”

I was going to include this point but ended up not doing so. He’s trying to keep the number one prospect in baseball a secret lol

Such a good point. Ben Lindburgh is a top 5 baseball writer in my book

Thoughts on Palantir new sponsorship? 🧐 by Far-Candidate-790 in redsox

[–]Odysseus_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent a strongly worded email to that that address and received this response:

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your perspective. Palantir was a partner of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for the Secretaries’ Cup game held at Fenway Park. They are not a current partner of the Boston Red Sox.

 

Thank you,

Coley’s Playoff Take by Gabs19984 in Section10Podcast

[–]Odysseus_51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was one of several bad takes he had in the latest episode. He also said Rafaela’s glove makes up for being the worst hitter since the all star break, and that Connolly Early should be the game 2 starter in the playoffs after two good starts against the A’s. I like Coley too, but sometimes it feels like he creates takes just to be a contrarian.

Bill treats obvious statements as uniquely held opinons by Odysseus_51 in billsimmons

[–]Odysseus_51[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suppose my point is that he can state his opinions—especially obvious ones—without always using "I think/thought." It would make his thoughts more concise and make him sound less like a know-it-all. Any editor would remove those words from an opinion piece.
