It crossed into the irrational that night he jumped out of the way of a HBP like a sissy just so he could lay down a sac bunt.
And it’s not coming back. Tonight just provides a temporary stay of the hatred.
"I think it's funny because everybody wants Ozzie Smith range," Young said. "I want people to show me a guy that has turbo range like that."
But you're hating a player who has been good this year.
He has done quite a bit for the Rangers, and if anything he’s been unlucky not to have done more.
I’m officially driving the Hell Yeah Matt Treanor wagon until (and if maybe even after) he regresses to his career norm.
Meh.
Like you say, he’s still a pretty terrible player career-wise. He’s been a 0.3-win player this year.
I don’t owe him anything, other than the acknowledgment that I was wrong for this particular night.
"I think it's funny because everybody wants Ozzie Smith range," Young said. "I want people to show me a guy that has turbo range like that."
No, he's not terrible player career wise.
He averages a win above replacement per 600 plate appearances, which is absolutely a caliber of player most playoff teams give an every day spot to. Would you like better? Of course. But since there should be no expectations for anything better, that’s not a player worth hating unless you just want something irrational to complain about.
Further, he’s been good this year, and in too many games for you to just toss out as meaningless. And you will cite things like BABIP all day until it doesn’t suit your hatred, so you’ll completely ignore Treanor’s .222 line and .343 regressed wOBA. He has done a ton for the Rangers, has been unlucky to have done more, has been better than the (still useful) player player we should have expected and there is no guarantee he won’t continue to be a solid player on the roster.
You want people to take your deeper looks at baseball seriously, but they won’t if you only look at what suits you instead of what they’re telling you.

Yah, I know.
I just can’t bring myself not to hate Matt Treanor.
I know you and the facts are right and all, and I’m being everything I profess to hate, but… I just can’t stop. I hate him. I wish he would go away. I think he’s worse than Gerald Laird and his stupid batting stance was.
"I think it's funny because everybody wants Ozzie Smith range," Young said. "I want people to show me a guy that has turbo range like that."
god you suck
name something redeeming about you?
at least it used to be that you attempted to be rational
Does there need to be?
I’ll always be on LSB’s shitlist for not getting all “rah-rah” or “BELIEVE!” during the games.
So I might as well stop fighting it. Kinslerhomer doesn’t, and he takes a lot less shit.

Kinslerhomer also is a master at aggregating stories
and is actually rational and good with statistical arguments.
Except
he’s been about as good as Salty was while here. We are kind of used to crappy catchers.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
The only year that Salty put up numbers in Texas like what Treanor has came with a .385 BABIP.
Treanor hasn’t been as good as we once hoped Salty would be, but he’s been better than Salty has been yet.
Yep
Treanor may not be great, but there is no reason to think we have better major league ready catchers in the organization. At some point you need to judge prospects on actual production rather than hopes or dreams.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
I missed this earlier, so forgive the late reply but...
Exactly what is it about Matt Treanor that you hate so much? It’s not like he’s Milton Bradley (whom you seem to actually like, or have at least defended in the past.)
If he can be a serviceable catcher for your favorite team, what is there to hold against him?
by JimBonnick84 on Jun 16, 2010 5:28 AM CDT up reply actions
Because at best, he's mind-blowingly mediocre.
And for being mind-blowingly mediocre, he’s been rewarded with the starting catchers position and hailed as Almighty Gritty White Guy Part II. Once again this team seems content to settle for a steady molasses drip of production from the catching position instead of playing guys with much higher upside and potential. That frustrates me, because we’re never going to move forward with the catching position that way. Either admit the young guys we have aren’t the answer and find a real upgrade (not AJ Peirzynski, but a real upgrade) or play the young guys. Don’t make the young guys sit behind Matt fucking Treanor when their floor probably isn’t much different than Treanor’s ceiling.
"I think it's funny because everybody wants Ozzie Smith range," Young said. "I want people to show me a guy that has turbo range like that."
When the young guys
can’t beat out Matt fucking Treanor, it’s on them. Fuck those bastards if they can’t step it up enough to take the job away from him. They don’t deserve more playing time than Treanor.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
Max has performed just as well as Treanor has.

You know that almost every team has mediocre players getting a lot of playing time, right?
Even the really good ones. There’s a FanShot over there about it.
That article is pretty telling
At some level, we all realize that even contending teams get contributions from below average players, but the extent of it shown by that article was surprising.
Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Freude!
Honestly
this thought that young players need 90+% of all at bats regardless of whether they are showing anything or not in a playoff run is just kind of mindblowing. Ramirez is getting a third of the playing time, if he is clearly better, he has time to show something.
"Look, we're basically on earth to shit and fuck. So unless your job's to help people shit or fuck, it's not that important, so relax."-https://twitter.com/shitmydadsays

Yeah, when he slows down and starts nibbling that's when he gets frustrating.
He’s much better when he works at a steady pace and goes right at them.

CJ was somewhat wild, but he was having a ton of strikes being called balls, and very very few balls being called strikes. I would love to see the Pitch F/X summary on this one.

You don’t bring him into that game, but you bring him into his one after a day off when everyone was available? I just don’t understand Wash’s line of thinking sometimes.
If Ogando gives up that run in the 8th and the Rangers don’t win this game on that Treanor hit…well that would’ve sucked ass.

OH MY SWEET LORD BABY JESUS
yes they do. And usually it’s the last card they play when they realize that I’m not going to do what they want me to do. I learned a long time ago that it’s not worth it to argue with people anymore and get all twisted up because, in the end, I always win. No matter what. Because I’m the police. I don’t mean that to sound snarky or arrogant…in fact, that’s a lesson I try to impart to my trainees (the value of knowing what you can do and what you can’t do/the value of knowing what’s RIGHT as opposed to what’s not) is that we always win, so make sure you have the wisdom of Soloman and don’t go around acting like a fucking dick all the time and provoking confrontation like some cops do So I don’t really get all that bent out of shape about people running their mouths because, almost always, I get my way. Except when it comes to watching a baseball game. Then I get fucked.

When I was HS
I worked at a YMCA after school program. One of the moms was this hot little red head. She would always come in and flirt with me and tell all kinds of things about her personal life. She told me her boyfriend liked to pee her. It was the first time I’d heard the term ‘golden shower’. It was super wierd, but I wanted to fuck her so hard.

I think the reason is overusage
AJM has mentioned multiple times he’d like to see less usage of it, and instead usage has probably actually increased as the meme gained foothold.
I don’t really have a problem with it myself – it reminds me of Carlins “rape can be funny” bit – but I can see why AJM (and perhaps more importantly SBN) would like to see this particular meme halted.

not really.
A fish tank, for most types of fish that are commonly kept, is a reasonable living space for them. Overcrowding is common for novice fishkeepers, but has enough bad results that it doesn’t last long.

We don’t have the stuffy moderators and lame rules it’s true – but we make up for that with our own brand version of internal moral and political indignation.
If you take a step back, LL and LSB are kinda like Family Guy and American Dad – the veneer on the surface is different, but the fundamental groundwork is pretty much the same. And that’s why I like LL, because I’ve realized they’re really not any different than us, they’re just… Mariner fans.

I disagree
They assume that because most of them are more familiar with the more advanced baseball stats that they are right more of then than they should.
I don’t want to say it’s groupthink, because that has some connotations I don’t mean. It’s more the bias that you see at prestigious institutions that really just can’t see outside their world view and (most dangerously) don’t realize they might be biased in this way.
I think it’s different here because there’s just enough people dug in on weird stances (mainly Josey) that I think we’re constantly forced to deal with new ideas…even if many of them don’t hold much water.

Something random to post here… I’m writing a brief about a movie script I was a co writer for…. Trying to sell it to some production studios… I think its a lame script, the angle of the film is all wrong… Would you see a movie about Capone? One that is more about the man than about killing and mob shit?

Both the Capote movies were really good, especially the PSH one.
I guess you could call PSH a star… but that’s really fucking pushing it.
He’s a really well known actor, but I don’t think he’s a guy studios bank on or anything.
I don’t really feel like going to IMDB or whatever and doing searchings on this, but saying a movie has to have a star to be good is wrong… although a script being good does attract better quality actors generally, so it’s much more likely that a good movie is gonna end up having good actors in it, so you’re gonna seem to be right a lot, I’ll admit.
The 40 trumps all!

dude
PSH is a star and the other movie wasn’t nearly as good. That’s one of the movies I had in mind when I was thinking about this.
Whatever.

which part?
that PSH is a star or that the other movie wasn’t good? PSH is weird because the height of his stardom was that movie but he was the lead in a few other movies.
And I just didn’t like the other movie. I saw the PSH version first so maybe that was the issue.
Couldn't fall asleep... So I typed a novel at you... yay.
Examples I thought of…
Frost/Nixon was a great movie and didn’t have anyone I really knew going in.
Last King of Scotland had Forrest Whitaker, who… come on, he can’t be considered a star, right? And don’t say Mackavoy, cause he had been in, like, nothing before that.
(Seriously… if you meant you have to get a Forrest Whitaker or a Frank Langella… then we need to knife-fight to the death over your definition of "star".)
Lots of people fawned all over Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and fuck if I know who was in that. (I personally hated the shit out of that movie… got 10 minutes into it, said a bunch of curse words and sent it back to fucking Netflix…)
Daniel Day-Lewis hadn’t been in much shit at all when he did My Left Foot, and that was fucking amazing.
There are others that I wouldn’t say are stars but I’m now assuming you would:
American Splendor/Paul Giamatti.
Quills/Geoffrey Rush.
The Queen/Hellen Miren.
Good Night and Good Luck/David Straithairn.
But, anyhow…
Basically, what I object to here is the idea that biopics are a special genre of movie where you have to have a star or it won’t be good.
They’re just like all other genres: Having a star exponentially increases the likelihood of a movie being good (for a variety of different reasons), but it’s by no means a necessity.
Get a great script and a director who knows his shit, and combine that with actors who can handle the material and you can make a good movie. You really can.
So… Yah, that’s what I think about, like, everything. Fuck me this turned out long. I’ll stop typing now. Or… how about NOW.

I can't sleep, either.
I’m spending it killing monsters and wondering about something bizarre:
Why does Baseball Prospectus use KCR, NYY, NYM, SFG, CHC and CHW as abbreviations, but then SDN and TBA instead of SDP and TBR?
Prolly cause those abbreviations relate better to the sound of the team.
Like TBA just sorts sounds like “Tampa BAy”, whereas TBR doesn’t really evoke the same thing.
Same w/ SDN evoking San Diego. (Although I know there’s no N after the D, it still kinda does, you have to admit.)
KCR and Kansas City… SFG, same thing.
That’s what I think seeing it, anyhow.

and actually
i’m not saying a script doesn’t matter. obviously a shitty script will sink a movie fast. but the success of a biopic movie depends on the actors
Can, not must.
And every movie depends on the actors.
Just not their start power, as it seemed like you were saying, imo.

Makes me glad I unfollowed him as soon as he turned traitor
I think the day that was announced or the day after he tweeted something really snide re: the Rangers, and I was done.
