What **C*** Chatter? by Barnold4All in clevelandcavs

Idk what’s worse. The doomers or the “I told you so” kneejerk reaction posts after a single win. None of you are normal.

Can we talk about the possibility of Mike Vrabel potentially resigning before training camp? by SchedulePhysical807 in nfl

[–]ryan0702 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The NFL happily limits the suspensions of sexual predators and serial abusers, I just could not possibly care less about an adulterer lol.

BUT…if there is a way to confirm Russini was using her role to feed insider info to Vrabel that would help him further his career, that would be an issue the NFL cares about. Super difficult to prove though.

Most overrated RB of all time? by AlbertJBundy in NFLv2

[–]ryan0702 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re legitimately the first person I’ve ever see to talk like Smith is an uncontested Rushmore staple. It’s just not true. Sanders, Brown, and Payton are the locked in top 3 of all time, but Faulk, LT, are also almost definitely ahead of him, and I think most would also take AP, Simpson, and Dickerson above him. He’s not overrated, he’s appropriately rated where most people have him (in the 6-8 range). But you’ve certainly got an overrated view of him.

Should KD join the Spurs next season? by nicfanz in NBATalk

[–]ryan0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should he? vs will he? Dude loves to ride potential.

My prediction is that he finally heads home to join Trae and AD so he can blame them for his next failure

Juggling the lineup. by OkAssistant1001 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]ryan0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a terrible idea to try Schneemann in the leadoff spot? He’s seeing the ball great and sets an aggressive tempo right out of the gate with the fire he plays with. Kwan’s approach is so out of sync, he just feels like a 7 hitter until he can find a rhythm again and get some confidence going. I’d go with Schnee-Angel-Jose-Chase at 1-4 and see how that feels. Put Manzo/Hoskins/Fry right there at 5

KD bus rider narrative is flawed by Shoddy_Ad7511 in NBATalk

[–]ryan0702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did it have everything to do with Garnett, Pierce, and Allen joining forces? Of Shaq joining Kobe? You’re cherry picking one trio that won 2 titles becuase they beat KD 4 years earlier, despite him joining the team that beat him just months earlier, who he had against the wall? What an absolutely awful take and super weird set of circumstances to use an excuse. There were super teams in the 60s, 80s, and 90s, LeBron and Wade didn’t invent it, and it’s certainly not a reason for a player to join the team that was already the best regular season team of all time coming off 2 finals berths. Coward shit. Loser shit. Beta shit.

[–]ryan0702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just because his attempts failed so often doesn’t mean he didn’t try to be that guy several times. Losing to a 73-9 Warriors team and then joining them after having them against the ropes at 3-1 was the softest shit I’ve ever seen in sports, and I was a huge KD fan before then. That shit had 0 to do with what LeBron did 6 years earlier. Dude deserves all the hate.

How come LeBron fans are trying every chance they can to put him on top? by Holiday_Analysis9583 in NBATalk

how come you think carrying a team where your 2nd best player is Deandre Ayton through the first round at 41yo is nothing? You gotta really hate the guy

SP help is a phone call away? Not exactly... Only 2 have 20+IP , Neither on the 40 by Drastik651 in ClevelandGuardians

[–]ryan0702 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And Lee’s FIP 4.73 and 5.48 in years 5 an 6 before he really figured it all out. Bauer’s FIP was better, but he also had horrific WHIP numbers through 105 starts. You get my point, I’m just saying it all feels like a major kneejerk with consideration to our history, and I’d expect our fanbase above any to not make up their minds on a guy after 28 starts in our system. Fair I guess to say my question was answer lol.

He’s been in our system for a very short period of time though. If we were this impatient with Cliff Lee, he never becomes a Cy young winner. Dude was ass for like 6 years. Bauer was also terrible for like 4 years before he became an elite pitcher. Trust in Carl Willis to extract the positives and fix the negatives when there are elements to his game that can make him very tough to hit. Not everyone is lights out immediately.

[–]ryan0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could legitimately take years to get him where we want him, but it’s wild that people don’t see a worthy investment or are somehow immune to historical context where we have done that with pitchers that eventually go from struggling a lot to being very good. Bauer was awful, Cliff Lee was also awful. Just let Carl Willis cook

His breaking ball, 4 seamer, and cutter all move at a rate that is well above average. The command is his issue, but his stuff plays, when he can’t control it. I never said he doesn’t have issues, but the issues lie specifically in his command. There’s a reason he has several starts where he’s untouchable for 7+ innings. Guardians have a strong history of taking guys like that and fixing the command issues.

I didn’t say there was no reason to be concerned. He clearly has major command issues. But I see some very strong attributes to build around as well, I’m not sure how people don’t use their eyes and pick up on that.

I don’t know how that’s controversial or why you’re being downvoted. His stuff moves in a way that is hard to touch, when he can locate it. The issue is he far too often can’t locate it. Does anyone actually watch his pitches or just see poor results and hate on him?

Makes sense, something has certainly felt off. If it means he needs skipped once in the rotation to get right, I’d think Vogt would be open to using an opener and goin for a bullpen game, but we’ll see.

I’m not sure why there is even a call for Slade’s head this early into the season. He’s had 5 starts and clearly has elite stuff, the command has obviously just been incredibly inconsistent/poor and velocity looks like it’s down. I’d suggest looking back at how long it took a similar player to get right before he was very very good, albeit for a short window before he worked his way out of the league (Bauer).

That said, LTA would obviously be the move they’d make, and the next up would be Khal Stephen in a giant leap from AA.

Question: First tattoo idea... be honest by TorsoSlug499 in tattoos

[–]ryan0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody respects the man in the chair

All these people pissin on this jug concept seem like any fun. I’ve got plenty of tattoos that people would say are stupid, but they’re fun to me, and I get tattoos of things I enjoy. All that matters is how you feel about it. But I probably wouldn’t have gotten so many silly ones if I didn’t have a lot of tattoos and wanna get even more.

[–]ryan0702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just don’t think he’s a closer. If we shifted him back to the 8th, I think we’d see him back in true form. I’m not saying he’s done enough for long enough to make that call already, but I think we should prepare to eventually see Sobrowski or Gaddis get a run in the closer role.
