Do you realize you started another Saggese thread yesterday?

This one is redundant. Certainly not needed. It's why so many loathe your existence on this forum! You're worse than a telemarketer.

Oh well, at least I don't have to put up with your shenanigans on The Cardinal Nation!
Please stay on Cardinal Nation. That's more your style. While you are still posting here. Please tell us once again how great of a hitter Contreras is. Over and over again you proclaimed Contreras is the best hitter on the team. lol

we appreciate the update, we weren't entirely sure if you were ready.
How about this, Guru? Why not more Saggese at bats"? Whatcha' think, hotshot?
I like Saggese.
Not looking to be snarky just a sincere question.
Who would you propose “sit” so that Saggese can get more AB’s??
Good question. Maybe Gorman and even Burleson
Ok fine let’s follow up on that:
I suppose Saggese could grind out some time at corner OF?
But Noot is going to play every day and Walker needs to play also.
Winn & Arenado are locks on the left side and so is WC at 1B.
So like you mentioned, that leaves 2B or DH.
Donovan is leading the league in hitting so he will
justifiably play either every day.
Gorman has a higher ceiling and he certainly should be in there ahead of Saggese vs RH pitching.
Now....I can see keeping Saggese ahead of Baker but any way you slice it once Winn returns we’ll probably only see him vs. LH pitching!
That does NOT lead to a LOT of AB’s for him at this time.
If....a trade goes down(Arenado? Gorman?) for pitching then it creates a domino affect which could open things up for him?
Until then he will serve as a valuable reserve and part time starter vs. LH pitching.
Again....I like Saggese but at the moment it is not his time to be a regular.
"Gorman has a higher ceiling and he certainly should be in there ahead of Saggese vs RH pitching" Are you completetly sure about that?
I just gave you a “constructive” opinion!
As for being “sure” I am not personally involved with the team and neither are you.
As for my “opinion”.....yes....I would mostly play Gorman ahead of Saggese vs. RH pitching as I believe he has a higher ceiling.
So...your “opinion” is Saggese over Gorman vs. RH pitching?
Gorman still strikes out too much vs RHP. Maybe see how Saggese could do vs RHP. Agree?
I'm all for more Saggese at bats if it keeps your slap hitting superhero glued to the bench

No....I just told you I DON’T agree.
And BTW....before he went on the IL Gorman was swinging the bat fairly well.
So....now that he is back you would sit him behind a RH bat vs. RH pitching?
Is that your stance on this subject?

That is the purpose of this forum. To exchange opinions.
Another question for you:
Yesterday you started a thread on “what to do with Saggese”?
There were 4 pages of good dialogue on your thread.
After those 4 pages you made one post on YOUR thread.
You stated that maybe at this time there isn’t room for Saggese and maybe he should get AB’s at Memphis??
Ok....fair enough!
So....in lieu of that post YESTERDAY you started an entirely NEW thread on Saggese saying he should get more AB’s???
I’m not being a jerk.... I’m just asking you to explain the repetitive threads where you seem to contradict yourself????

It’s like being in the middle of a constant “Who’s on First?” routine.
Shady OP on Wednesday- What to do with Saggese? Maybe send him to Memphis as there is no room for him.
Shady OP on Thursday- I’m ready for more Saggese at bats!
What will Friday bring? LOL
Shady Friday OP????- I’m ready for Saggese to lead the entire team on a pilgrimage to Mecca or Lourdes???

LOL....have a good night!

LMFAO
1) You didn’t “answer” ANYTHING which is your usual routine.
2) You start repetitive threads asking rhetorical questions and contribute nothing of substance in relation to the team or baseball in general.
3) You have an obvious track record of nonsense that almost every other poster has called you out on!

Personally I don’t know who you are or what your problems are?
I don’t know if this is an “act” or you are serious?
If serious I hope you get some help.

“You aren’t in my league”!
Thank God for that!
LMFAO

I agree. Play Saggese and glue your superhero Burleson to the bench. I may not be a hotshot but I am a gangbanging malcontent.

I like Saggese.
Not looking to be snarky just a sincere question.
Who would you propose “sit” so that Saggese can get more AB’s??
Good question. Maybe Gorman and even Burleson
Ok fine let’s follow up on that:
I suppose Saggese could grind out some time at corner OF?
But Noot is going to play every day and Walker needs to play also.
Winn & Arenado are locks on the left side and so is WC at 1B.
So like you mentioned, that leaves 2B or DH.
Donovan is leading the league in hitting so he will
justifiably play either every day.
Gorman has a higher ceiling and he certainly should be in there ahead of Saggese vs RH pitching.
Now....I can see keeping Saggese ahead of Baker but any way you slice it once Winn returns we’ll probably only see him vs. LH pitching!
That does NOT lead to a LOT of AB’s for him at this time.
If....a trade goes down(Arenado? Gorman?) for pitching then it creates a domino affect which could open things up for him?
Until then he will serve as a valuable reserve and part time starter vs. LH pitching.
Again....I like Saggese but at the moment it is not his time to be a regular.
"Gorman has a higher ceiling and he certainly should be in there ahead of Saggese vs RH pitching" Are you completetly sure about that?
I just gave you a “constructive” opinion!
As for being “sure” I am not personally involved with the team and neither are you.
As for my “opinion”.....yes....I would mostly play Gorman ahead of Saggese vs. RH pitching as I believe he has a higher ceiling.
So...your “opinion” is Saggese over Gorman vs. RH pitching?
Gorman still strikes out too much vs RHP. Maybe see how Saggese could do vs RHP. Agree?
No....I just told you I DON’T agree.
And BTW....before he went on the IL Gorman was swinging the bat fairly well.
So....now that he is back you would sit him behind a RH bat vs. RH pitching?
Is that your stance on this subject?
I just get tired of Gorman whiffing. Considering the steady contact Saggese has made vs LHP or RHP.
Ok fine....that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
That is the purpose of this forum. To exchange opinions.
Another question for you:
Yesterday you started a thread on “what to do with Saggese”?
There were 4 pages of good dialogue on your thread.
After those 4 pages you made one post on YOUR thread.
You stated that maybe at this time there isn’t room for Saggese and maybe he should get AB’s at Memphis??
Ok....fair enough!
So....in lieu of that post YESTERDAY you started an entirely NEW thread on Saggese saying he should get more AB’s???
I’m not being a jerk.... I’m just asking you to explain the repetitive threads where you seem to contradict yourself????
Just trying to get my point across.
So essentially you're admitting you're an attention-prostitute? Got it!

How about this, Guru? Why not more Saggese at bats"? Whatcha' think, hotshot?
I like Saggese.
Not looking to be snarky just a sincere question.
Who would you propose “sit” so that Saggese can get more AB’s??
Good question. Maybe Gorman and even Burleson
Ok fine let’s follow up on that:
I suppose Saggese could grind out some time at corner OF?
But Noot is going to play every day and Walker needs to play also.
Winn & Arenado are locks on the left side and so is WC at 1B.
So like you mentioned, that leaves 2B or DH.
Donovan is leading the league in hitting so he will
justifiably play either every day.
Gorman has a higher ceiling and he certainly should be in there ahead of Saggese vs RH pitching.
Now....I can see keeping Saggese ahead of Baker but any way you slice it once Winn returns we’ll probably only see him vs. LH pitching!
That does NOT lead to a LOT of AB’s for him at this time.
If....a trade goes down(Arenado? Gorman?) for pitching then it creates a domino affect which could open things up for him?

we appreciate the update, we weren't entirely sure if you were ready.

Good question. Maybe Gorman and even Burleson, And Honorable Mention, Contreras and Arenado. But, I know, the high cost salaries wouldn't allow that.
Arenado? Seriously? Guy has played great baseball so far this year. The answer for me would definately be Burly.. He's hardly contributing at all to this point.
