Barrero for VSII This Evening

[riff raff]

Calm down. I admit I'm wrong.

Interesting. What were you wrong about?

Still interested

You're going to need to calm down

Lol

I'm not excited. I just am interested in what he was wrong about since he continues to tirelessly argue his flawed analysis.

I admitted I was wrong just the other day to Jbrach regarding Contreras being one of the streakiest players.


Funny though. Now I’m thinking about that time you were strongly convinced Fowler blocked ONeill in 2019. I then proceeded to show you more than 400 PAs taken by OFers in 2019 not named Fowler, Bader, Ozuna and ONeill. Meaning the PA opportunities were there for Tyler.

Once I showed you that, you did the very adult thing and stopped posting on the thread. Big man!

[Basil Shabazz]

WTF are you lying about? I was the biggest Fowler honk on these boards. I wanted him since his rookie season with the Rockies.

Try again narcissist

Nice try, kid.

Maybe admit you are wrong next time, like an adult.

I would prefer Scott. This is the season they are supposed to be seeing what they have in the young players see if scott is a guy who can play every day including against tough left handers. But I get starting Barero also so it doesnt really matter I would just rather see Scott in there. They just had a day off before the washington series and will have another day off after this series its not like he needs the day off

I agree with this.

I also really like having Barrero on the bench for his defensive flexibility and potential in his bat. I'll take Barrero over Siani any day of the week.

I’m good w Scott sitting one day. He doesn’t need 162 starts in a row to know what we have.

Also, with Walker struggling, Barrero on the roster makes much more sense than it did the first three weeks of April.

Who said anything about 162 in a row? He had a day off started 3 gets another day off will start 2 then get another day off he doesn’t need that many days off. And no it was dumb to have Siani on the team out of spring and not Barrero but luckily Mo realized how dumb it was and sent Siani packing hes slow and stupid but he caught up

I just mean sitting him out today doesn’t mean he’s not being ‘tested.’

And Siani early in the season made sense since there was no lane of playing time. And, during that time, Barrero got a bunch of PAs in AAA to stay fresh

It was dumb then. Barrero isn’t going to replace Walker in right Hes going to get the same amount of playing time he would have early in the season I understand you defended it out of spring training and refuse to ever admit being wrong but it was dumb out of spring training a lot of people knew it and slow mo finally realized it also and fixed it. I give him credit for that

Calm down. I admit I’m wrong.

There was simply no PT available for Barrero at the beginning of the year. And, with Walker’s defense still a question, having Siani as a D replacement /PR made sense.

He’s already getting more PT than Siani

Why is he getting more playing time than siani? Oh yea because Barrero is an infielder also so of course he is more useful and would get more playing time so he is seeing the same amount of playing time as he would early in the season because he can play all three infield positions and all the infield positions and hes right handed which makes it even more dumb that Siani made the team over him. Siani didn’t get much playing time because he only played the outfield which limited his use. Like I said it was dumb at the beginning of the season dumb the whole time Siani was on the team Mo finally realized what others were saying that it was dumb and fixed it good for him

He’s getting more PT because the roster and they way it’s played is different.

Hes getting more playing time because he plays other positions. Siani wasn’t going to see time at second or short

No, between Winn, BD, NG and NA, there wasn’t room at the beginning of the season.

Which of those is no longer on the team that suddenly makes room for him

Still trying to figure out which of those players are no longer on the team that suddenly made room for him

[Basil Shabazz]

I was wrong about Fowler’s defense in CF. I argued tirelessly against his bad defensive metrics.

Interesting that your defense of yourself is to fabricate a lie about me from 6-7 years ago

It was a few years ago. You're an O'Neill fan. You said he was blocked by Fowler in 2019.

I showed you between JMart, Thomas, Edman, etc, there were roughly 400 PAs from guys not named PO, DF, TO, and Bader.

After I showed you that, you stopped replying.

Try admitting you're wrong, Basil. It will set you free.

Walker started 19 of the team's first 20 games. He's started 12 of the last 18 games.
Gorman has played a little less too.

And 7 weeks in, guys are starting to need more rest days.


So you see, a team bullish on JW, VS, LN, BD, NG and MW going into 2025 leaves no room for playing time for JB. As the dust settled in April, more opportunities opened up. If all the players I mentioned had .850 OPSs and Walker's OF defense was spotty, Siani might still be up here.

Thank you for pointing that out. That's an important step forward for Basil's growth.

Hes played three games at short and two at center. But hey dig in more I told you before the season started it was dumb for Siani to make the team and they would figure it out and fix it and it proved dumb when pages had to play second and they fixed it good for Mo realizing it was dumb and you can keep defending it but you will continue to be wrong

[ecleme22]

Hes played three games at short and two at center

And that's great. If the Phillies pitching match up last night happened on 4/3, Scott would've gotten the start.

And I understand how he filled in for MW because of injury.

I also understand Walker's defense is, in fact, much improved.

All those reasons make Barrero more relevant on 5/13 than on 4/13.

And you’re wrong. I knew once they realized it was dumb to have Siani on the team and sent him down you would figure out a way to try and continue to defend it after how hard you defended it in the offseason and I was right you double down o wrong all the time and refuse to admit being wrong but that’s okay you do you. I’ll let you have the last word it will be wrong but you can have it
