The slightly too early trade deadline thread

[bpj]

This season has been pretty wild.

For every player that was expected to do well and didn't, there's another player that was expected to fail and didn't.

Many years are somewhat predictable. This season players have been all over the map compared to what was expected.

That's about the only reason why I haven't been dragging Dipotos decisions even harder this year. Half of the guys who were expected to be upgrades have sucked also.

Nah, you just being the usual you.

lol

And you just being the weirdo of the forum. Per usual.

Hilarious that you and Harmony show up more now that the M's are a bit over .500... and when JP Crawford finally doesn't fall off a cliff.

But hey Ice, for every Blake Snell (who was never on the trade block), there's always Patrick Wisdom and Max Kepler...

Nah, that was a weird thing to say about LAA.

Yet, it didn't stop you to say that you'd rather have Flexen than Snell. I was right about Snell being better. Wisdom was better than LaStella. Max Kepler is better than Pollock.

Hey sorb, Judge still signed with the Yankees after he was upset with them, and getting booed by the fans. He didn't get a total contract under $300M either. Joc Pederson didn't hit the market and accepted his QO.

I'm sorry that you couldn't get the hint of sarcasm present in the laughing emoji. Why don't you ask D-Train if he thought my post was serious...

But then again, I'm sure reading social cues isn't a strong suit of yours.

Congratulations, you picked players who were only marginally better than the trash heap Jerry dragged in. Players who coincidentally also never became Mariners...

Nah, it was a weird thing to say. Weird like mentioning Harmony when you're speaking about me.

Thanks, they were better and Kepler by a lot more than Pollock. I'm just pointing out that that the suggestion was better than what we got. I'm not sure about the weird statement of they never became m's, nobody is claiming that they became m's. I guess you're trying to do a false equivalence about Judge who was supposed to be not going back to the Yankees.

You really are the one of the stranger people I've come accross. Nobody in their right mind thought the Angels were putting Ohtani back on the market when they traded for Giolito... do I really need to spell it out for you any further that is was sarcasm?

<- when following a sarcastic statement = sarcasm. Do you understand Ice? Would some sign language or a different language help?

Ya, weird that you and Harmony come crawling out of the sewers as soon as the M's show some life.

4 posts in June when the M's were 9-15... FWIW.

I didn't think that LAA was going to put Ohtani back on the market, so that was a weird thing to say.

I don't keep track of how often two different posters come here, that's very abnormal. I made some posts in May on only 4 games threads. In May, outside of those 4 gamethreads, I made 4 posts. It's not unusual, unless you're stalking me. Wild. And very weird to stalk both Harmony and me.

Ya bro. You got me.

Except that you're the weirdo who is always passive aggressively replying to my comments 6 months after you were told not to.

The thing is that you'll say something about Flexn vs. Snell for a couple of pages. Then you want it to be forgotten. I bit my tongue. I didn't say anything as Snell outperformed Flexen by a huge amount from the trade deadline to the end of the season. But Snell came back into the news and keeping Flexen was a mistake, not a total mistake, but still a mistake. I want to say something about Snell and Flexen, and not have to be silent.

Well, these are 2x players the LO podcast mentioned. Another AL West team trying harder than Jerry Dipoto.

The angels are trying harder than the mariners, a lot harder. Is that a good thing or bad for them? They seem to have shoved whatever chips they can come up with on an attempt to make the playoffs this season.

When the hell did I recently say something about Flexen vs Snell?

I like that Snell is pitching well and advocated trading for him and Soto in a recent post. Literally the only thing I've said about him in months.

It was Donn who replied to you about Flexen... not me.

[Donn Beach]

I don't know what the deal between flexen and Snell is. All i know is flexen was the one that was actually on the roster. It wouldn't have been a mistake keeping him there if his arm hadn't fallen off
