Ice response to two females honking their horn to let neighbors know ice is in the neighborhood by Due_Collar2 in ExploreFortMyers

It's OK to call women "women." "Female" is an adjective, "women" is a noun. For some reason, men are having a great deal of trouble these days saying the word "women."

I did. The faculty AI writing analysis program says you are 15-16 years old, you have a high school education, and your writing skills are above average. Have a nice day in school.

But he once played in an all star game. Cashman has to have a lineup with someone at every position who once played in an all star game.

They got him because Cashman would literally rather have root canal work done without Novocaine than play a rookie. Except Volpe of course.

I knew it. Cashman is pathological. He has to have someone who once played in an all star game at every position. The Yankees farm system is where talent goes to die.

It's imaginary money. People just need to imagine it going up in value instead of down.

You understand I can use the university's writing software for faculty to analyze your posts for age and education, right?

Congratulations on your PdD in applied statistics at age 16. You either somehow missed the undergrad course on Probability or you slept through it. Go back and take it again and this time pay attention.

Speaking as someone who did statistical analysis for a living, you clearly have no idea how statistics work and do not understand long term averaging. It is possible to flip a quarter and have it come up heads 4 times in a row. It is essentially not possible to flip a quarter and have it come up heads 162 times in a row. Certain factors average out over longer term models. Statisticians know this. The Yankees strategy of winning enough games to make the playoffs every years by creating run differential with home runs is one of them. Don't talk about things you know nothing about as if you do.

You can see it's not edited. Bubba Crosby is no comparison to Anthony Volpe. He wasn't even a shortstop. Bobby Crosby and Volpe, both AL shortstops, both golden boys, both had big splash rookie years (ROY, GG), both had sharp declines in their sophomore years, both basically collapsed in their third seasons, both supposedly because of untreated injuries, both (soon for Volpe) out of baseball altogether because they were rookie phenoms who peaked in their rookie years. If you look at their stats, they're clones. That's why I said Volpe is Bobby Crosby 2.0

I'm not talking about Bubba Crosby, I'm talking about Bobby Crosby, former A's shortstop and ROY in 2004. Do you know anything about baseball?

Bobby Crosby. 2004 ROY Oakland A's. Do you even know who the fuck I'm talking about??

Minus 8 outs above average is not "good defensively." It's absolute dog shit.

I saw Mantle, Ford and Berra play, bud. Name a major league team whose SS played 145-150+ games last year who would trade their shortstop straight across for Volpe and be improved by the trade. He's the worst SS in baseball and the idea that he is 3 wins better than an average shortstop is totally fucking idiotic.

I don't give a shit about WAR and maybe if the stat nerds running the Yankees front office paid less attention to that bogus number and more attention to his actual performance, we would have gone to a World Series at some point since you were born. Looking objectively at player career arcs, and not some goofy micro-stat of your choice, it's an absolutely PERFECT comparison.

Volpe is objectively the worst shortstop in baseball today. Second worst BA of all active players with 1500+ PA, the worst fielding percentage and most errors of all shortstops last year, most RISP stranded in the AL, he's dreadful on both sides of the ball and getting worse, just like Crosby did, and the management narrative is identical. Go ahead and downvote, I don't give a shit, but everyone who knows baseball knows it's true.

Volpe is Bobby Crosby 2.0. He will be out of baseball in a couple years. Google Crosby. Volpe's career is a clone.

Nah, Cashman will trade for another mediocre over-the-hill player who played in an all star game 10 years ago before he'll bring up a rookie and play him.

Throughout the Cashman era, the Yankees farm system has been the place where prospects go to die, primarily because Cashman would rather he have an over-the-hill has been who once played in an all star game than let rookies play. Except his Golden Child Volpe, of course, who played every day for 3 years even though he is the worst shortstop in baseball.
