Feels like Sox are throwing shit against the wall entirely hoping to create tradeable assets by the deadline- they do not care how many games they lose getting to that point
I wish they would free Luis but then they would have absolutely nothing to sell and even less people would go to the games
that’s terrible I didn’t know their kids were that young still. growing up as a teenager without both of your parents has to be devastating
Idk why guys still wear the old school masks instead of the goalie helmets. even tho the old school masks look way cooler
Totally forgot about Wakefield stuff and had channel on but wasn’t paying attention I don’t cry in public, would have definitely cried during that at home
I've been watching a lot of KBO during the overnight and I've been really impressed with their umps. I was thinking last night that I can't remember the last time I saw a bad ball/strike call. Turns out they're using robo umps this year
Was an incredible collapse from Musgrove who'd only given up 3 hits through 4 IP. Solo homer to the 9 hitter, walk, single, HBP, pulled by Shildt. Then the grand slam.
Agreeing with dump huh? Maybe rethink this opinion. In n out is delicious. Taco case on the other hand is trash..
I didn't post that to suggest all is well or anything. Just thought the data was interesting. The massive jump starting 2014 is pretty stunning and not that coincidental considering the change that was clearly happening around that time in terms of velo.
Interesting, i didn't get that feeling, but to each their own sir!! Think i was just happy for our boy Gunners. But yeah, he probably had to have an idea of what was happening, really could've opened the season with the big league club
I feel for Mariners fans. It’s like a replay of the same season over and over for them every single year.
At the time there was also the suspicion of breaking pitches being one of the huge causes. This was because by that time they really decreased pitch count across the board but TJ didn’t slow down. So essentially the increased emphasis on velo was put into place as a TJ mitigation method. Velocity certainly doesn’t help, not going to pretend it does, but it’s not the issue. The arm just flat out is not meant to sling a ball like that. It never has been, there is just more emphasis on the injury because science can repair it. For me, worst part about TJ is the lack of just one insane knuckler.
Every year baseball industry finds a new way to tell the rest of the world how much they hate their sport.
Agreed. People started simultaneously trying to throw harder AND throwing fewer fastballs. When you have all these guys putting the stress of throwing more than 50%+ sliders, it's not an accident that many of elbow injuries start off as "forearm strains" or whatever that comes from the torque and the grip needed to throw those pitches. And when it comes to that kind of thing, I'm really not sure there is an answer. Because "let's just throw these hitters more fastballs while trying not to throw them as hard" would lead to a bigger scoring/power boom than PEDs created.
