Q ERA watch - down from 5.22 at the start of the night to 4.59 now. Can get it to 3.99 with a complete game shutout.

 

4.50!

 

He's in normal pitcher territory!

Context and verbatim are not the same thing.

 

I'm not sure how a declarative statement, with no caveats before or after, is supposed to be put into "context".

 

He said what he said. "It will be one of the greatest trades in WS history"

 

It was STONE that tried to give context with "if he keeps playing like this". Hawk is lucky that Stone tries to help him instead of just hanging him out to try.

"When he is retired, hopefully 15 years from now, you look back and you will say one of the best trades etc....."

Before he said that, Hawk said "maybe, just maybe". He wasn't guaranteeing it would be the greatest.

 

lol sure. You need to put more caveats around a ridiculous quote like that.

no he didn't. Here's the full transcript:

 

Hawk: well, I've said it before and I''ll say it again, to me, when he is retired, hopefully 15 years from now, you'll look back and say one of the greatest trades the WS ever made was acquiring avi garcia"

 

Stone: "if he keeps playing like he's playing, he'll absolutely be up there".

Seems to me Stone's comment is the silly one.

I don't need to. I'm not as butt hurt as others with what asinine comments Hawk makes game by game, regardless if its taken out of context.
