Hot Take Thread

[baseball101]

This thread is reserved for the past (this season only) and future (this season only) Hot Takes. Call out yourself or another poster that had a Hot Take that did or did not come to fruition. It’s all meant in fun and hopefully gives some perspective to how fandom is emotional games to game.

This will surely be a GREAT idea...

Murph‘s fault.

My hot take is that no child should be involved in organized sports until they are 10 years old.

People that continually question a manager's decision after the fact are cowards.

Oh, so we are just MAKING hot takes, not calling out bad ones from other posters?  

Much better concept!

My wallet would have greatly appreciated your hot take.

Deliberate vs Debate

You debate to win an argument. You deliberate to learn about a topic. Too many people here try to 'win' every time they say something and in almost every case, none of us know anything so it is a waste of time to speak in absolutes. We are all just here to learn and pass along information or offer perspectives.

The IGT specifically and these boards in general would get infinitely better if people starting deliberating and stopped debating.

When the Crew go down early and people are saying “that should just about do it”. 
 

or “we can’t compete with the top teams “. When the Crew have or are right around the best record against teams over.500.
