Reading the arguments of baseball7897 in this thread makes me want to rip out all my hair and bang my head against the wall.

 

Anger Management.

Let me guess, you probably would beat your wife/husband if you had one?

 

There are somethings you just keep to yourself. No need for you negative posts.

It deals with his anger problems.

 

Start backing up your opinions with fact, and less might get angry.

 

Here is a fact: Sac bunts work. If they didnt, they wouldnt be used in baseball.

Ahahahahhahahah. Post of the year.

Sac bunts don't work. At least not all the time, and in fact, most of the time they just waste outs.

 

They are used because people think they work. It's held to be a useful practice in theory. That long held belief is why they are used. Research has proven otherwise.

 

In many fields, long time practices are now proven wrong based on research. However, like in baseball, it takes a long time for those practices to be modified or eradicated. In fact, baseball is probably slower to move than most other fields because the access to the decision making positions is limited and often held by those resistant to research.

 

In my personal field, I could name a number of long held practices that research is beginning to question or disprove outright. Yet, many old timers still swear by these practices and thumb their noses at the research. Sounds a lot like what happens in baseball.

Here's a fact: Iraq had WMDs. If they didn't, we wouldn't have gone in there.

 

Here's a fact: Smoking pot is a smart decision. If it wasn't, people wouldn't do it.

 

Here's a real fact: Saying that just because people do it, it's smart... isn't.

 

Edit:

 

Wait a second... you nearly had me fooled.

 

Everybody, I'd like you to meet Dusty Baker.

Why am I not at all surprised at the fact a lowbrow joke went way over your head?

 

More simple terms, then.

 

You have repeatedly overvalued crappy, overpaid veterans.

 

You seem to have no grasp for advanced levels of logic or science.

 

You use archaic tactics just because other people use them, without any real thought involved.

 

Essentially, you exhibit the same traits as Dusty Baker... a man who just got fired from baseball for a reason.

What I have been saying?

 

I'd be offended is somebody told me I acted like Dusty Baker too, but you did imply davhern is a wife beater.

I agree that it was over the line too but yours went way too far IMO. I'm locking this thread because it's turned into a personal debate.
