Mike Fiers - NL ROTY?

[Outlander]

At this point Aoki has a better shot than Fiers but Frazier would have to be the front runner.

I never said "they're done". Stop making things up to try and push an argument. It's sad.

 

I am just trying to temper the expectations of the people who are acting as if the playoff run is easy to achieve at this point. It's not. It's still a stretch. That is what I am trying to push.

 

Why would you want to temper expectations? I'm a big boy. I can handle disappointment.

[slappzilla]

then you're one of the few and far between who post on the board.

[BoxedWineWarrior]

then you're one of the few and far between who post on the board.

 

You know this how? I've yet to see you point out any unrealistic expectations by any posters.

 

I suppose being excited about September baseball makes me unrealistic.

[slappzilla]

No.

 

Thinking the Brewers have an easy path to the playoffs makes you unrealistic.

[BoxedWineWarrior]

I never said the path was easy. Who said that? They have an opportunity.

[slappzilla]

oh, clearly I misread the context...

[Invader3K]

No.

 

Thinking the Brewers have an easy path to the playoffs makes you unrealistic.

 

Dude...just freaking stop it already. You don't need to keep derailing this thread to talk about other people's playoff expectations because you perceive they're "coming at you." This thread is supposed to be about Mike Fiers, not your opinions about other forum users.

[slappzilla]

I'm simply replying posts directed at me. That's how messageboards work.

 

Just put me on ignore if I bother you so much. You can tell everyone you're doing so for e-cred if you want the attention.

Next post that isn't about Fiers (or other ROTY candidates) is getting deleted. Just let it go.

Aoki probably wont get ROY but he has been a terrific signing. Fiers, Aoki, and Rogers have all performed very well for rookies

[Katuluu]

They are out of contention.

 

You did say they are done. Yesterday. Stop trolling.

[MNBrew]

I'd love to see Fiers or Aoki named ROY -- I'd think Aoki's chances are much better. But I also doubt either ends up w/ it.

 

For all his potential, Harper's year has been nothing spectacular, so I think the greatest injustice possible (relatively speaking) would be if he won it b/c he's just not that deserving by comparison.

This topic has gotten so off track that it's time for a lock.

 

Maybe it can be replaced by a general rookie of the year topic like we've had in other years.
