"it was linked off Yahoo! Sports, which I was only on because, at the time, that was the best fantasy baseball service. I don't think the site has gotten a ton of its traffic from Yahoo! Sports through the years, but I do think that on a user quality basis, it's probably more valuable than the gobs of traffic that once moved through Twitter and Facebook, and the mobile-heavy traffic driven by Google and the various automated cell phone feeds."
"Since that time, there have been so many epic long-running wars among the TC/BP commentariat that many are seared into my memory - Jason Heyward/Jose Constanza, Nate McLouth/Jordan Schafer, rebuild/no rebuild among them. Along those same lines, I've always wanted what in my mind is a Big Board - basically, every time a falsifiable claim or position is falsified or validated, partisans on either side of the topic gain/lose points, accordingly."
Talking Chop began in 2009 and initially linked from Yahoo! Sports during the fantasy baseball era. The site now receives traffic from many sources but retains high-quality, evidence-based comment threads. Long-running commenter debates over players like Jason Heyward, Jose Constanza, Nate McLouth and Jordan Schafer remain memorable. A proposed 'Big Board' would award or deduct points when falsifiable claims are validated or invalidated. Implementation faces challenges because many divisive topics lack clear falsifiability and require team decisions or sufficient playing time to settle. Predictions about managerial decisions are more provable than normative arguments about what the team should do.
