What is the point of constantly posting negative stuff about Elly and why Elly? What about Volpe and his batting .214 this year. What is the breakdown of his AB’s against weak pitchers, pitchers on their period, Cy Young award winners.
Seems a little petty and childish to bag on a 21 year old kid from the DR who has played what 90 games or so in the big leagues, and even when he goes 2-5 with a HR and 6 RBI you have reasons it should not count. Surely you don’t have that much free time to be looking up geeky stats so you can justify bashing Elly right?🤔

There's the link to the Anthony Volpe thread. Feel free to take a look and you'll see that there was plenty of people ripping him and his low average. And then the thread got buried because nobody cares. The Volpe fans aren't running out and bumping the thread every time he gets a hit
Just like this thread. It's fallen off the first page multiple times over the last few weeks. This thread had zero comments for like three days until Ohio came gloating about a little league home run. I've followed this thread long enough to know that there's been very little actual talk about Elly. And when there is, the haters don't come around.
What's hilarious is you saying you don't have a dog in this fight, yet here was one of your first comments in the thread

I'm not sure how you can claim to not have a dog in the fight when you've already admitted you collect and follow him
