MOTM Poll: Duke vs. Notre Dame (January 11, 2025)

[JayWill]

Very sad this group could not agree on a unanimous poll.

Some nit pick and quibble;

But you will miss this kid when he's gone;

Enjoy him while you can.

I assume you're talking about Ngongba?

Maybe I'm jaded, but a dissenting vote on a fan website doesn't reach "very sad" for me.

It's a goof at best - Flagg was objectively the best player with one of the most impressive performances in recent memory. But I will not lose any sleep over it.

Of course you are correct that this situation is not “very sad”

However I do find trolling to be a sad part of social media interaction and voting for Pat in this scenario is nothing more than trolling…

Obviously you are not a SERIOUS poster.

Oh no one can realistically make a case for someone over Flagg. So yeah, it's some degree of needling.

I just... don't care about the results of an online poll? Not enough to invest any of my own emotion.

I lost sleep over it.

Or maybe it was the cat walking on my face.

Anyway, I am still considering voting for Khaman. I think it would be more democratic.

Crash Davis once explained a similar situation. Voting Coop every game is like going for all strikeouts. Maybe a ground ball every now and then is okay.

Meh.

Derek Jeter only got 396 of 397 votes for the baseball HOF. Three electors didn’t vote for Ken Griffey Jr.; four did not vote for Ty Cobb; and five did not vote for Tom Seaver. Six did not vote for Nolan Ryan, and eight did not vote for Cal Ripken, Jr.

It’s the way of the world. Although I would like to hear the good-faith basis for the vote.

Jeter belongs in the HoF obviously, but he's also the most overrated baseball player in history.

And thus began the end of the DBR boards...

 

[toughbuff1]

Alan Trammel had a career WAR of 70.6 in 9376 plate appearances. Jeter had a career WAR of 71.3 in 12602 plate appearances...

I may still be a little bitter about the whole Jeffrey Meier incident

Well, in Ty Cobb's case, I think we know what the problem was:

And yeah, I know:

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

Talking baseball in this thread is way more worthwhile than following the trolling vote that Ngongba was the MOTM.

More than Pete Rose?
