Will James I'm starting to agree more and more with you. While I'm not as adamant against ****ing, sometimes I do think Cohen does dumb ****. I won't hide from that.
Welcome aboard Goat.
Many were saved a self indulgent post when Renfroes first AB fell at the warning track. That would have just been the pinnacle.
I feel like I have a little brother now

For the record, I never said that this lineup was wrong. I actually agreed with it vs righties. Against lefties I would switch Renfroe and Detz however. But no doubt Detz is our best hitter right now, so he should be in the 3 spot.

Believe in Will mutha17in James.
Nobody ever said Cohen would bat him 3rd...we just said there is no proof that over a season batting him 4th would be more efficient...so he was not proven right yesterday. Some of you people amaze me. Batting him 4th can work well, and so can batting him 3rd when Rea is healthy. Nothing has changed that, so for WJ to act like he was proven right is not accurate. He was saying batting him 3rd would be less efficient over a season. 1 game vs Valley doesnt even fit his own argument.
You guys don't need to let him spin this into some kind of win, ha, go back and read what his original argument was. It cannot be proven right, and definitely wasn't lastnight. I think Hunter can be great in the 3 and 4 hole. I was not proven wrong because I never said either one was fool proof or could even be proven.
Its funny how being so right makes everyone else stfu
So now, board, can we agree on Detz in the 3 and Renfroe cleanup? If you just agree with me the first time we wouldn't have to hash things out.
That's what I'm 17ing talking about!!!
Damn right Renfroe is our cleanup hitter Engie Cad every other doubter. Believe in Will mutha17in James.
Well Goat is coming around*
What are you even talking about. It's not that complicated Keynes, I want to hit Renfroe 4th. We will score more runs tht way. Frazier, CT, Detz. At least one, hopefully more get on which is their specialty. Then, Renfroe an Rea get them in. It's simple which makes your essay's pointless. Hit Hunter 4th. 99% of the time dont **** with man on 1st no out. There ya go.
The debate continues to rage among sociologists regarding why some individuals develop grossly over-inflated egos based upon the self perceived merit of their internet posts. The leading theory is that these individuals are attempting to compensate for deficiencies in their non-internet lives. The internet gives them a sense of validation and approval that they can’t get anywhere else.
A second theory–far more controversial but gaining in popularity among many sociologists–is that these individuals are gigantic cock muppets.
So why is Cohen doing it my way. And the American League as a whole.

I think it's hilarious how his argument changes as do the stats to back it up, to meet his agenda.
In other words...when discussing how different players are hitting at the current moment, he uses the phrase "this means nothing because it's against ****** pitching". And then a few days later he is thumping his chest because our best hitter had a good game against Valley?Incredible.
Also, he has changed his entire argument on the Renfroe thing. Several of us were saying that WHEN REA RETURNED (which he didn't yesterday) we felt that Hunter would be best utilized in the 3 hole. There is absolutely ZERO way of determining if he would be better in the 3 hole or 4 hole over the course of the season, because you can't see both outcomes...we were simply stating that we preferred him in the 3 hole. There is no way for us to be wrong on that statement.
And then genius says we would DEFINITELY be more efficient with him in the 4 hole. What? There's nothing to prove that, and never will be. Then he uses Barry Bonds as a reference, and was proven an idiot because Bonds hit in the 3 hole.....and then uses Renfroes performance in the 4 hole for 1 game against Valley and says he's right? He can't be right on this because there is no right or wrong. Not to mention the competition and the fact that Rea was out. And Cohen starting him in the 4 hole means nothing, bc nobody said he wouldn't.
Besides, who's to say Renfroe wouldn't have had an even bigger game yesterday if he was in the 3 hole? Nobody can say that for a fact. See where his argument is ridiculous.
He's a total douche that is spinning this like he's proving something that cannot be proven. And the worst part about it, is that we have multiple idiots on this board that are buying it. Hilarious.

Also, we have multiple posters - I won't call them idiots - who continue to engage him and argue with him.
I want to see the numbers on how reducing the number of at bats by your best all around hitter increases runs over a season. the higher in the order you are the more at ats you get. So batting 3rd you get more at bats, so you get more opportunities for you best hitter to get on base, so you chance of scoring runs goes up.
I know this becasue you showed your work in the ****ing threads. Now prove the batting cleanup argument. with numbers .
