This thread has gone down a path it doesn't need to.
Continue baseball discussion only, please. The personal jabs need to stop immediately.

Surely YOU have better things to do than engage all the folks that make your life miserable here in a tit for tat.
Surely I do.
My life is pretty awesome actually. Like I said, every other forum on this site is civil. Why can't ORG be that way?

If you are interested, there's a thread devoted to this elsewhere. I started it because of some of the growing pains I thought were happening here since the merger:

FWIW, this thread was very civil until you claimed it wasn't. Some pretty interesting discussion, actually. Wish you could see that, too.
Yeah, but the Redszone 10 actually existed and I refuse to believe otherwise.
A lot of respectable posters engaging with NY Red I see.
Take my advice which I figured out last night. Bow out immediately as you have been trolled.
I don't bow out until I've been Rick Rolled.

Hate to see the discussion turn the way it did in the last page or two. I was enjoying hearing both sides, even if I strongly disagreed with a few. It's only baseball, folks. (But I Like It.)
This is the kind of stuff most could enjoy and just laugh about if we were at a bar or our seats at GABP talking Reds, but it tends to lose something in cyberspace.
Rounding third and heading for home...
I enjoy discussing baseball with posters like you. Disagreement is what makes it more interesting. What fun is discussion if we agree about everything?
I don't enjoy discussing baseball with people who just plug their ears and then insult me periodically. Or with posters who respond to my (good faith attempt at) thought-out posts with.
If the argument was that the Reds brand of baseball this season hasn't been aesthetically pleasing, that would be one thing. But to argue about the significance of trends in their production while refusing to contemplate baselines that give such trends meaning is another thing altogether.
Those arguing for baselines aren't ruining discussion. They are actually trying to establish a basis for having a meaningful discussion.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

And if we didn't have baselines how would the players know where to run when they hit the ball?
My daughter is an art major. She saw the title of this thread when I was reading it and thought we were talking about Andy Warhol...

Somehow after discussing all this and going off on to many tangents (who? me?), I agreed to buy here a t-shirt of Andy Warhol and the Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
Life is funny.
