    Of course I noticed the first part of your post. I wasn't replying to that. I highlighted the part I humorously responded to. The praise you heaped upon the Rays could have been printed by a Rays fan. Lighten up will you.

    ...that's not at what I said, is it?

    ...you wrongly used Munson and Sunberg as examples in an attempt make McCann appear to be responsible for those PBs last night. You obviously thought those 2 catchers were better at allowing PBs...well, they weren't.

    ...you fucked up, it's not the end of the world...at least not for me anyway.

    ...would you like to take a poll ?

    ...but hey, at least you were smart enough to let the McCann/Munson/Sunberg thing go and not respond.

    And you have perfected the art of conveniently "letting go" of parts of replies which don't jibe with your prepared script.

    In any case, Munson and Sunberg were better "catchers" than McCann. - imo
    But I do like McCann and he is a pretty good catcher.

    ...I stand corrected...your grey matter is less concentrated than I thought.


    ...who cares which catchers were better?...the discussion was NEVER about who were the better catchers and you know it. Stay on topic for and stop trying to change the subject.
    ...You didn't blame the loss on him but you flat out tried to paint McCann in a less than flattering light by saying, and I quote, "...he's not exactly Thurman Munson or Jim Sunberg back there."
    ...You were referring to the wild pitches and implied that McCann was not as good at preventing them as Munson and Sunberg...when in reality, he's actually better.

    ...can you dispute this or not?...either let it go, or provide something tangible, or please, pretty please, restrict your masticatorii.

    For the record, career Fielding %

    Sundberg = .993%
    McCann = .992%
    Munson = .978%

    How about we use the forum for it's intentional purposes and not try to make things more personal or heated than they need to be...
    These wars constantly erupt, and then I get asked why the thread ends up locked. This is why...

    Thanks Rick, but don't let career success rate at throwing out ATT/SB interfere.
    You've already earned your pat on the back.

    The point still remains that last night's loss was more on Betances & less on McCann.
