If Villar plays well for a month and a half, I will give him his just due, trust me. I would like very much for him to play well for a month and a half. No one is rooting for him to fail.

 

yup, the love will come back pretty quickly if he actually starts helping the team win games.

 

There wasn't a ton of love a year ago when he was raking. People have poked a part his game since he has been here.

 

Last year, the part of his game that got poked apart was his asinine baserunning mistakes. Hasn't been as big of an issue this year though, because the guy never gets on base... Not that he hasn't made the same base running mistakes when he has been on, that is for certain, but fewer only because he doesn't get on base.

Knebel is gonna drop to 4 of 7 in save opportunities. Where is the uproar?

 

If your job is to be the board dick, you deserve a raise...

 

 

People on here burned Feliz at the stake and he was 8 of 9'in save situations. I'm all for Knebel but he's 4 of 7. It ain't good man.

Just pointing out that some players get a lot harsher attitudes towards than others.

 

 

deservedly so... it isn't random, it is earned.

A bit harsh mate!

 

You are new here, stick around, and you'll understand.

You know the answer to this. Not sure why you're asking.

Yes, absolutely. Very good players tend to get less harsh attitudes and more tolerance and crappy players get harsher attitudes and less patience.

Save situations are a crap stat for predictive performance. Given 30 save opportunities for each , who among Knebel and Feliz would you expect to convert more the rest of the way?

Still not acceptable for how you spoke to me. I didn't attack you personally at all. Sharing my opinion on how some of us treat certain players on here is all and you don't care for it. Doesn't give you any right to make that remark.

Brew, you lost all credibility when you said those two dp balls were tough. They were the very definition of the tailor-made. Maybe you met Villar at fanfest and think he's your friend now? Honestly man, no bone to pick wit h you but thats the vibe I'm getting.

I'm not even advocating removing Knebel but at what point is it not okay for him to cost us games? What's your breaking point on a closer? I guess we'll never know how many Feliz would have racked up but he did come through 8 of 9 times.

Lol, Oh man. Keep the personal attacks coming. This place is showing it's true colors. My comments have nothing to do with a like or dislike for Villar. Just that he gets treated very differently. Sorry that triggers you into a post like this.

I apologize, but your demeanor here turns off a lot of posters... Yup, I shouldn't have gone there.

It was fair game after your "slept with your wives" comment...

So now you speak for a lot of posters? Give me a break. This board is getting into a very bad habit of tearing down anyone who has a differing opinion. My thoughts didn't attack anyone individually. It only pointed out that some players get butchered, sometimes for little things, while a guy like Knebel blows a game (3BS) and not a peep about him.

 

I've seen others say it's because Villar just makes so many mistakes and all that and I accept their opinion and would've easily moved on. You just decided to be not to nice to me for really no reason other than we disagree.

Well thats 32 Ks through 9 innings, probably a top 10 stat.

 

Villar and Agular both with the Golden Sombrero

 

Somewhere Briggs is shaking his head at this game.
