Running 2017 MLB regular season thread

Which one? I got bored with this entire discussion days ago. I'm just trolling a troll at this point.

That doesn't mean I don't think your attempt to dismiss ERA completely is ridiculous. It is.

 

What in particular about Lester's performance that has led to his ERA spike gives you concern?

 

Was that one even in there? I must have tuned it out. Unlike you, I don't dismiss the spike in ERA itself.

Also, I'm not really that down on Lester. I just thought it was ridiculous for you to be going on and on about Arrieta given how many other players were not performing at the same level as last season.

 

You have not explained the reasons.

I have explained in exacting detail why I am not concerned about Lester.

Which you ignored until I brought it up, just as you ignored all of the things going wrong with the Cubs except for Arrieta until I raised the issue. Because it was all about trolling for you.

And yes, I did explain why I don't dismiss ERA.

 

No, you didn't. Your answer was, "Because it's what happened."

That just begs the question.

Again: What in particular about Lester's performance that has led to his ERA spike gives you concern?

 

Try again, troll. I answered your questions. You just don't like the answers.

 

John Lackey is the starter who is really struggling.

 

Those weren't answers.

 

Yes, they were, but I see you are once again nuzzling up to anybody you can find in an argument with me. To be fair, that is quite a bit of nuzzling.
