I think Trueblood blocked me so I can't post the exchange here, but I laughed pretty hard at him bitching that Joe was using Denorfia instead of Baez and then his butthurt comment about how Cubs twitter sucks when RV and many others threw his tactical expertise in his stupid face.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

He tried to say he wanted Baez for "sentimental" reasons, not for tactical reasons. Whatever.

The nice thing about that "outcomes don't validate processes" line is it allows him leeway to never admit that he was wrong.

Outcomes don't validate processes also has the benefit of being true.  See: Williams, Kenneth.

I just like the fact that he has to include complicated caveats with every tweet he makes now because he's so full of shit and everyone knows.

I think we've won.

It's a nice little phrase but it doesn't mean your process is any better than the one you're complaining about. Take the original rant that led to the I AM THE GREAT TACTITIONER statement in the first place: saying Joe should pinch hit for Montero with the bases loaded and no outs in the 5th inning against a left handed pitcher for the f--king Diamondbacks.

There's a hundred variables that could have gone into Joe's reasoning as to why he did not pinch hit for Montero there (Miggy has reverse splits this year for the first time in his career, there were no outs anyway so you'd likely get multiple run scoring opportunities regardless, David Ross would enter the game once Miggy was out and he blows, etc.). Joe most definitely has all of the relevant numbers and he has what's obviously a very good process. This dipshit just looked at Montero's career numbers vs lefthanders and says Joe should pinch hit for him and when Miggy gets a grand slam he says "well, my process is better anyway!"

He can never be wrong. May he rot.

I think that line really only holds true in smaller sample sizes. I mean, I don't like really like Kenny Williams, but they averaged 88 wins in his first 7 years as GM and (allegedly) won a World Series. I wouldn't say his process was bad.

If anything, Williams played the early 2000s really well -- he was grabbing pitching and defense while everyone else was ignoring it because of the A's model.

Point is, it's a clever line that works well for smug little shits on Twitter.

Williams and Hendry were basically the same guy in my opinion. Williams' pitchers just enjoyed better health and the 2005 White Sox finished the deal while the 2003/2008 Cubs didn't. They were pretty good at finding value in early 2000s free agency where guys still occasionally hit the market in their prime and teams like the Pirates just gave guys like Aramis Ramirez away. Both made some pretty good trades. Then both were left behind as the sands shifted, it became harder and harder to buy wins in free agency, and player drafting and development became the only practical way to sustain success.

or won like Iraq winning, with the US leaving Iraq a barren wasteland filled with insane terrorists?
