Go there, sign in and start a thread stating, as you did above, that batting the pitcher 8th in an optimized lineup gives an advantage to the opposing team, and try to defend that claim.
I know that you won't dare do that, because all that you are doing here is spouting hot air, spite and ego and they would crush you like a roach.
Yes, I do believe and respect experts who have track records and use proper methodologies and who publish their work. I have none for the likes of you. |
You are the poser. You are the one that admits you can't tell the difference between what is a good study and what is not, and, therefore, cannot judge a track record, either.
You post opinions as facts and pull the passive aggressive tactic of saying "Don't argue with me, argue with THIS guy" yet continue to argue.
I started nothing here, I merely pointed out that you pull that "Don't argue with me crap" regularly.
It is YOUR insecurity in the fact that you cannot formulate your own support for a POV that causes you to project your insufficiencies unto me and others. You resort to name calling and do not address the topic in discussion. This is your MO.
I repeated my point regarding the issue of 8th place pitcher batting.
Here, you AGAIN deflect away from the topic because you are incapable of formulating your own support for the point.
"Go argue with Tango!..I dare you!...I know you won't..."
You don't know jack about jack or about me.
And all you do is regurgitate whatever you google and hold it as fact (Darrell Porter sucked as a hitter...that was a classic).
It is with that same depth of thought you carry on here.
You malign any who do not subscribe to your accepted point of view.
You say it is my ego that keeps me from accepting these "expert" conclusions? No. I am capable of thinking for myself. You, on the other hand, find comfort in following whatever anyone might put out on Saber-site, like a sheep.
And when you see others who choose not to be sheep, this bothers you so much that you find it necessary to attack them, but never once, here, have you made a substantive argument for your position...just "Tango said."
"Darrell Porter was a lousy hitter....don't argue with me, argue with Bill James and math!"....yeah, you know all about getting crushed like a roach.
You can accept "research" by "experts" who have devoted time and published their "facts" simply because they have credentials. I choose not to.
Other "experts" I disagree with:
The Population Bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Facts Speak For Themselves | 911 Truth News
The Case for Eugenics in a Nutshell - Future Generations
Amazon.com: Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit: Albert, Jr. Gore: Books
But what do I know? I am not published, like these people are. They all must be right.
Thanks for the link to Tom's forum. I haven't checked it out in some time. I will post if I want and when I want, not because someone told me to.
I will decide on my own. It's a neat concept. I can tell you more about it, if you like.
Baa for now.
