Where did I say he didn't have any power?

Listen, I get you kind of have this bit of being stupid but please don't misquote.

So this is the point where I defend myself against something I didn't say and then someone says "You are being too literal!" about the thing I never said. :lol:

Pay attention to the "or" please.

No, you just don't understand sample sizes, along with baseball in general. He sent two balls to the warning track during the world series. You said something stupid. It happens. Own it.

Says the guy talking about one home run proving me wrong on something you misquoted me on. :lol:

I get it. You don't like me and are looking for something. Just don't misquote me. I think there should be questions about Schwarbers long term power. I'll give you the same chance to predict his home run total and I'll pick over or under. Go ahead.

I never said he had no power.

I literally am. Everyone can see that. It wasn't close to what I said.

Over/under on Schwarber home runs please.

He sucked back then too.

The bigger question is if he is still a dominant home run hitter. It was a small sample size but his World Series performance wasn't that of a dominant home run hitter.

:lol:

That may be a valid concern because of the knee but its insane to try and judge that by 12 at bats in any scenario. Much less when the guy hit .400 and crushed a double off the top of the wall off Corey Kluber


It would be like saying Ezekiel Elliot didnt look like a dominant running back in that quarter

It's not insane. It's a question. He still seems to have lingering effects from his injury since they won't even consider him at catcher and the only game time he had he showed a lack of home run power.

Yeah, you said based on the world series observations, he lacked power.

If he plays near a full year (140 plus games ) he'll hit 30

If I had to gamble id take a few off what i thought pre injury (35)

29 maybe..

But he could very well have lost some power from the knee. Im with you there. Just not based on WS.

Im worried about reinjury more though.

So it was insane to use his only game action since injury as a potential sign of how he may perform. Got it.


This is you trolling, right?

I think I'm being trolled. Everyone seems to agree with me his power will be down. They are concentrating on the insane thing which is looking at what he did in games to argue one point in an argument they agree with me on.

Rick, you undoubtedly said that based on his World Series performance, he might lack power. You have to own that.

That would be a fair quote.

Pretty much everyone agreed his power may be down.

So how was Bob's quote different than that?

A question is a lot different than this.

I never said he wouldn't ever hit a home run again.

Also, the context here matters. The discussion was whether a team would trade for him. If he is just a 25 home run a year guy as many in that thread seemed to predict for this year then it does change it from the home run powerhouse that he was thought to be.

Still waiting on Bob's over/under.

You should also predict how many he will hit then.

What is the number that he needs to hit to demonstrate he no longer lacks power then?

Kind of a sloppy game. Both clubs dropped some outs.... I'm kinda resigned that STL is gonna shoot for about 86-87 wins and hope that's enough.

and I certainly hope we are done with this experiment...

Wow, I thought Bob was being a complete douche especially with the Prick comment. But with an assist from leash, Bob was right.

Leash=Caller Bob. Hmmm. It would explain a lot.

If I were one of the working girls in St Louis I'd certainly stay clear of anywhere Matheny is known to frequent tonight.

I think the main thing we learned here today is that Brick should be brutally murdered.

It's nothing personal. It just feels....right.
