DMZ doesn't say a single negative thing about Silva in this! I thought I was reading a eulogy at Silva's funeral.
The only people that usually get off the hook this completely have passed on.
That's what threw me a bit.
He makes several completely valid points – usually satire is written as being pseudo-valid. But it’s probably written with an unsteady balance of seriousness and irreverence, at the very least.
The satire is of columnists, not SIlva.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions
It's extremely poorly executed anyway.
We ought to have the guts to call him on it even though we’re all one big happy family.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
It does a terrible job as satire.
Nearly every single thing written in that column is perfectly justifiable, and a valid way to look at Silva’s career. Don’t let your hatred of him for harming the M’s blind you to that. It would be totally okay for a columnist to write this sort of column — in fact I hope this is how it would be written — and thus the satire fails because at no point is anything DMZ writing come across as outrageous. I can see only one thing that I would disagree with, actually, and then that’s just a matter of spin.
Satire is supposed to take aim a deserving target. This time DMZ failed. It’s probably not the popular view to say this, but objectively it’s true.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
It's not objectively true because it's based on opinion
and one I happen to disagree with.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions
The "spin" given in this "satire" article is a perfectly valid one.
It’s a point of view we might all disagree with (most of us, at least) here on LL, but it’s not a crazy position, or an unsustainable one. So again, if this is satire, I fail to see who the target is. Silva? The points in the column are well-taken in almost every instance if you take them for what they are. Columnists? What would be wrong with pitching a column along these lines? I for one would PREFER that media members use a bit more kindness and understanding in writing about these sorts of matters.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Because it's a lazy assed column that does nothing and could be written in one's sleep.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions
This is an assertion that remains distinctly unproven.
I see nothing lazy about it at all. It attacks the issue from a point of view of genuine human sympathy,,,,which is something Silva has never gotten an iota of from us. Sure, we can say that he hasn’t really deserved it — that’s another defensible POV — but I for one would be glad to see articles taking this sort of angle. It acknowledges that Silva is made of fail, but doesn’t engage in the hateful bashing that has become all too common (and personalized) around LL, for example.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
It must have taken DMZ a great deal of time, though, because writing convincing satire or deadpan takes tremendous energy.
I remember how he felt kind of hurt after people implied things like “wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands,” after he posted “Bugs Bunny: Greatest Banned Player Ever.”
Re-reading it, here's a pretty massive tell:
he’s a competitor, a former rock of the Twins rotation. Remember how heavily his winless streak weighed on him, how he pitched through shoulder stiffness trying to grind out starts, and particularly think about how badly he wanted to stay in that April 25th start that ended up breaking his streak. Even the Silva so many have been so disappointed with still have his team a chance to win: the team had a winning record in his starts when he lost his rotation spot.
[my emphasis]
My hatred of him?
I think I’m on record as saying I don’t hate Silva.
It’s subtle, it’s not satire about Silva. It’s satire about how cookie-cutter and cliched filled many sportswriter opinion columns are, and how many of them don’t even fucking try.
by JI on May 6, 2009 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Where are the cliches? Where is the cookie-cutter? Where is the lack of trying?
As I said, if someone wrote this column — if five different people wrote this column — I wouldn’t say “jesus, what fucking cliches!” In fact, I would say THE OPPOSITE, JI. I would say “wow, I actually respect the fact that the author didn’t just take the easy and obvious ‘fuck Silva and I hope we never see him again’ route”
You’re not thinking this through.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
This is totally not true.
DMZ’s piece reads like a Baker blog entry all the way through. Either you’ve gotten to the point where you ignore bad beat writing altogether (and if so, good for you) or you’re missing something.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions
And I think you people have gotten WAAAAAY too arrogant and incorrigible if you're using the phrase "like a Baker blog entry" as a term of derision.
Seriously, we could stand to stop breathing our own self-satisfied rarified air sometimes. Baker’s blog entries are actually quite good and valuable much of the time, with excellent reporting. I’m gobsmacked that you can’t appreciate that.
Yes, of course, he is greatly flawed as an analyst in many ways. But that’s beside the point.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
I actually like Baker, but he writes garbage like this from time to time
and your habit of assuming the worst about people and pointing that out in the manner in which you are so fond of doing is getting really tiresome.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions
I apologize for coming across as hectoring.
Not trying to be a douchebag.
I do stand by (the non-douchey parts of) my point, however.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
We appreciate Baker.
He spends a lot of his time covering the M’s. For that, we are grateful. However, he refrains from telling the hard truth EVERY TIME. So we poke fun of him. Not unreasonably.
by .Taylor on May 6, 2009 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I'd take some of that tone back if I could.
Too hectoring, as I said above.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
I think that's selling Baker a little bit short.
He’s not lazy, even if he’s not always a writer of DMZ’s caliber.
But he writes lazy garbage from time to time.
I like Baker and have defended him on numerous occasions.

It's a cliche to be that one guy who tries to get attention for feeling sorry for Carlos Silva.

Everyone knows early Family Guy was actually funny.
Defending late period Family Guy — now that’s a risky move.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Yup.
I guess I just feel sympathetic toward Silva today, because that was hard to watch, but I felt myself agreeing with parts of what he’s making fun of. Mostly because I think the criticism of Silva gets a bit too personal sometimes.
Eh, I feel like he's making two points at once
and doing it pretty well.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions
I feel like DMZ is a good enough writer with a strong enough track record
that it’s pretty obvious that the overall point he’s making is “Silva is a bad pitcher and that’s plenty of reason to hate him” while attacking lazy beat writing at the same time.
by Aaron Campeau on May 6, 2009 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions
I feel a little bit silly for getting fooled on it - good baseball satire writing, even if it makes no sense when you think about the context, often fools me at first.
Maybe I’m just too damned earnest about baseball. Must be a symptom of not my following the Mariners all that closely, much less daily, between 2004-2008.
I share your earnestness (earnesty?) as well, apparently.
I think this piece works perfectly well taken straight.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Actually, as I re-read it, the fallacies in it become pretty clear.
And while players like Ichiro are continually defended, every excuse made for their slow starts or poor performances,
Passive voice is a dead giveaway – DMZ’s doesn’t forget to specify the actor over something contraversial like that.
Remember how heavily his winless streak weighed on him, how he pitched through shoulder stiffness trying to grind out starts,
We all know how kindly DMZ looks upon wins as a counting stat and pitching through injuries.
But much of the emotional tenor of it, I think, rings pretty true.
Oh wait, I just remembered I wrote this a few days ago.
How Carlos Silva was a true failure of a human being a a moral trainwreck. Yeah, fuck him, even if he’s just had his baseball funeral.
I'm seeing more fallacies, too.
So clearly it’s meant as satire. But I agree, the emotional tenor is hard to criticize.
