"According to the guy at the Committed Indian, Patrick Sharp is an amoral, emotionless iceman."
I wish I had the exact quote, but that's close.

More seriously though his worst moments were during the concussion and Penn State stuff. Directionally Dan was right, but his over the top opinions on youth and college sports were insufferable. |

dan told us that israel is the cradle of civilization. not quite. i'm very respectful of an ancient people that were monotheistic-father of the abrahamic religions. religion is one realm; with, unfortunately, less importance going forward. sorry, not enough juice for that claim. |

Complaining early in the season that Fields needed more designed run plays. After Fields gets hurt running the ball, Bernstein's been complaining that the Bears are rushing Fields back and that Nagy is going to get him hurt. |

This was back around seven or eight years ago when they actually did have similar stats. I don't know if I'm daming him or praising him, but I don't think he sincerely held the opinion. He was just doing it to stir people up and get them to engage with the show. The argument went something like this: Bernstein: Sale and Quintana have basically the same stats, but everyone is talking about Sale and no one is talking about Quintana. Why is that? Caller: It's because Sale is better. Bernstein: That's not what the numbers say. Caller: Have you seen Sale's slider? Bernstein: You're a racist and a jingoist. |

He was sounding the alarm on CTE and when confronted with him allowing his child to play hockey, responded that he had researched the position least likely to get a concussion and made his kid a goalie. |

That's a dumb argument but I can completely see some SABRmetric shithead who doesn't know a goddamn thing arguing that Quintana was as good as or even better than Buehrle. They have nearly identical ERA and WHIP and Quintana was better at "the things pitchers control", i.e. K/9, K/BB, HR/9. Anyone who actually knows what he's talking about knows comparing Quintana to Buehrle is like comparing a shitburger to God. |

Q did a lot with not much. I never got why he was disliked so much and the stats bear it out. Imagine if he actually had stuff. |

Because he wasn't very good but "modern" fans used statistics that are actually inconsequential to insist he was and ridicule everyone who could see that he was completely mediocre. |

I disagree he was mediocre. He did what he had to, mainly nibbling, and was decently successful staying out of big innings. I don't hate Keuchel. What he accomplished with one fucking pitch is worth some credit. But now that's over with. He's cooked. Edit: So you hate Q due to some specialized metrics that were out of his control? |

"Out of his control." He's one of two starting pitchers in the games he pitches. When the other guy pitches better half the time, that's the actual definition of mediocre. I hate Q because you think he's better than he is because he piles up positive metrics in situations that aren't critical and very often when he gets into a spot where the game is on the line, he suddenly can't locate. He loses 2-1 or 3-2 or he allows the game to be tied so David Robertson or Craig Kimbrel can blow it after he's out. You say he performed well. I say he's mediocre. |

Quintana is what he's always been. A fine number 3 or 4 guy in the rotation. The same people who tried to convince you that he was special now try to convince you that Grandal is the best catcher in the AL and that Moncada is one of the best 3B. |
