So people can use their brain and consider different perspectives. It isn’t an end all be all authority but it can lead to insights.

Don’t like it? Fine but why go out of the way to post something like that?

FWIW, parsing through AI output to try to decipher what, if anything, is actually accurate/useful/relevant often takes more mental energy than just using your brain directly to begin with.

I'm still puzzled as to why we didn't get cash in this deal instead of the other way given we gave them a legit org top 15 or so guy in Boston. It had to have been the winning offer as I'm sure they got other calls, but I'm not worried about Smith or the cash. I just hope the opportunity cost of getting a better player isn't the rub this year and next, especially next year. If he stinks will the sox have the balls to just move on? I doubt it.

Like many things, what it wrote was wrong and a pointless use of resources.

We don’t agree about AI. Why continue to harp on it? Just fucking ignore any limited posts I use it in and move on.

This type of unnecessary horseshit reminds me why you were a Hall of Fame List inductee.

It may have been pointed out already but after Seattle stopped piggybacking Castillo in late May, his numbers in June were stellar- including starts against Cleveland and Detroit.

In July he pitched to a quality start average, if you take out the start where he was shelled by the Dodgers.

I remain hopeful the Sox can make some tweaks and we have a win on our hands.

Yea, verbose outputs can be cumbersome to read - I generally parse through them and often times there is something insightful.

I thought its analysis of Castillo relating to Banny was interesting.

Seranthony might be a nice upgrade for Seattle, given that they've got Bazardo sucking it up for them.

Bannister liked a tweet about Castillo using his change up less this year and bringing it back into the fold, so the Sox obviously see something with sequencing they think they can fix.

The tweet in question:

Leave Schultz alone. Charlotte would be ridiculous.

It would make more sense to send Castillo down there to work on the fix that Bannister has identified (at least media house-horses claim that's what happened).
Fedde to the pen . Fine, but is Castillo any better?

The most insane suggestion possibly ever.

It would make perfect sense... if it was allowed.

Looks like Castillo has been on our radar dating back to four years…

He's been awful after I suggested he might be a fit for the White Sox in deal with the Mariners. Relievers, they're volatile.

I don’t care what people say Castillo still has it in the tank when he needs it.

I also buy into our staff believing in tinkering his change and modifying his pitch mix.

Last time I was stoked for a deadline starting pitcher like this, it was for Jose Contreras.

His time in Seattle was over and his era in Chicago is days away from beginning. LETS FUCKING GO!

Competitors like him do not want to be fucked with. They want the ball every five days and believe that there isn’t anyone in the world that can beat them on that day.

I also think he is going to help our young guys like Burke, Martin, and Schultz.

We'll find out soon enough.

This leaves out the part that he was getting piggybacked because he had sucked before that

He’s going to need to limit Yoshida who has gone 5 for 8 against him. Otherwise their lineup hasn’t had much success against him. Castillo owns Contreras.

And you’re leaving out the part where after they stopped dicking him around - he threw very well.

Starting pitchers beginning the season still building up happens all the time and Seattle, being flush with pitching, was in a bind because they didn’t want to regulate a fan favorite to the pen.

President and Founder of the Luis Castillo Club !

I like your stance and belief he can be better with some tweaks.
