Perhaps this is something you should temper. Very few people here, maybe no one, want to talk about next year when this year is far from decided. People say this with varying degrees of tact to every one of your posts like this.
The reality of this environment is that when you express an option and ask a question, if people agree you might get a comment, they might just click the heart or just say a quiet amen to them selves and move on.
If they don’t agree, they will usually express why they disagree. There is no dislike button
So much can change via trade and free agency and we know the front office is pursuing options we have no idea about. Let’s see where we after the World Series is over and then talk about next year.
I don’t run the site but I don’t feel there’s anything wrong at all with what you post. Continue what you’re doing, Jim. I may not agree with what you write but I do read it.
However I do think AstrosFanInBigD’s idea of setting up a separate thread to discuss what moves should be made for 2023 and beyond is a good one. For those not interested in focusing beyond this season it makes it easier for them to skip.
I do not disagree with anything you said, Walt. I read every one of his posts, and then I move on. What I react to every time is the persecution complex which sometimes is evident. I have talked privately about the need for a thicker skin, but it seems to have done no permanent good. Folks’ failure to respond appropriately to discussions of moves next year, I tried to explain, is disinterest in the subject at this time, not disdain for the poster. Jim is an accepted regular here.
I think a separate thread for 2023 and beyond future roster decisions is a great idea.
Please give me a heads up before starting that thread. Gonna need to take a week off to write some new disclaimers for the site, and buy the domain orangewhoopass.xxx.
