    but actually the masters is fuckin awesome
  2. i love when this happens in italy (dont crop that part of the quote) and a team says "never again" or something else like that. it happens there every matchday!
  3. i mean yeah, he definitely gives up 4-5 runs if those same flyballs are hit in june-sept. How much of that was him pitching to flyball contact against a bad team in insanely favorable pitching conditions, i guess we'll see. but if the strikeouts are real, we should be able to live with some of the home runs.
  4. do you think when the cubs get a lead counsell hide's morel's glove like you do with a football player's helmet after he takes a shot to the head?
  5. but he really shouldnt pitch to lefties in high leverage
  6. I've repeatedly said that I'm not going to stop watching the Cubs. After many hours of thought and meditation, I've made a decision that should not be an example to anyone because it is unique to my situation. I told you that after the offseason, I would give you the story of the decade. To those of you who are shallow, the events of last night in the game versus the Rangers will be that story. But to those of you with depth and concern, the real story will be what I hope and pray results from this morning—in the coming months and years the development of a true pipeline of pitching prospects here in Chicago. I am going to die in an effort to ... see if the facts, spread out in all their shame, will not burn through our fandom and set fire to the Cubs’ front office. Please tell my story on every radio and television station and in every newspaper and magazine in the U.S. Please leave immediately if you have a weak stomach or mind since I don't want to cause physical or mental distress. Cody, Dansby, Christopher – I love you! Thank you for making my life so happy. Goodbye to you all on the count of 3. Please make sure that the sacrifice of my life is not in vain.

  8. i suppose the downside is being a 40 year old in a football jersey trying to make men mad at the grocery store but when has degrading myself ever stopped me
  9. im not a bears fan but i will be if they draft williams. everyone in oklahoma dislikes him because he left with riley, and all the quote-unquote feminine stuff drives people here nuts. the thought of walking around in a bears williams jersey (also just a sick looking jersey for what that's worth) in the middle of OU/Cowboys country is right up my alley.
  10. im a huge fan, that dude can horsefeathers ball. does he not look like mike trout out there? maybe not quite as explosive athletically but just a short stout dude that runs and defends. love him
  11. PCA has fewer than 100 major league at bats this year Suzuki tops 30 ding dongs alzolay turns into a multi-inning high leverage guy and cuas/neris end up leading the team in saves hoerner slumps hard before the all star break and gets benched
  12. he must have like the world's worst personality. he cant get on the field for forrest????
  13. i think you could make a case for almost any of the top 8 in the west having a chance if just a couple things break their way. East feels like Boston or bust, unless Milwaukee's defense is just too much to overcome in a 7 game series.

    I've been going to this simulator to work on some things while i wait for grass. they added this app functionality so it sends you your swing videos. i've recorded myself before but from behind, which i guess isn't ideal. this is a side view camera and it really illustrated what im doing wrong, particularly with my driver. my swing looked nothing like it felt. but it helped me immediately correct some of the easier parts. today i was consistently 275-290 with the driver and in the low 160s for ball speed. that's a massive improvement from even a month ago. im disgustingly addicted
  16. i tried telling him at one point that I thought what he considered his misanthropy or whatever was just that he might actually not be a good person. he doesn't treat other people well, and in response, they get tired of his act and discard him. and then he uses "well i dont like people anyway" as a cover for having no one and nothing in his life. he disagreed and called me gay but i was right

    I improved a lot last year (relatively) when I started focusing on hitting my 7-pw accurately at the range instead of just bombing my driver. now if im at the simulator? im taking that big dog out. but it was crazy how much more comfortable i was from 150 yards and in once i made myself focus on those clubs
  19. sam is part of the acab elite for that edit: why did i not say acab fc
  20. 2 of those guys are gonna bust, maybe all 3. so no, we wont be trading bellinger

    Yes! I changed nothing about my swing. He just put a ping head on longer firmer shaft (pause) and all my swings were in the range he wanted. It was unbelievable. I was looking at him like he was a wizard and he said brother, I've been doing this 45 years. Awesome, awesome dude.

    like most old horsefeathers boring white guys i picked up golf during the pandemic. i dicked around off and on over the years but the combination of there being nothing to horsefeathers do mixed with being able to get out of the house for 5 hours and escape my wife and kids proved to be too strong of a pull and i got fully addicted. Last year I played a bunch, got to go to Southern Hills, it was a lot of fun. But I'm playing with this hodge podge set of used irons. The caddy that day was like brother you're 6'4, you need to go get fitted for some irons. So earlier this month I went to a club fitter here in town who's been doing it for 40 years or whatever. amazing experience. I hit my 7 iron 5-6 times and he was like "did those swings feel good?" And im like honestly yeah, i hit it pretty flush every time, timing felt good. I'd be happy with that. So we start looking at the trackman and he's like club a little too open, attack angle too high, spin rate way too high, apex too soon, etc. He grabs a club head and sticks it on a longer shaft with a power spec and goes hit this. First horsefeathers shot goes 180 and all the trackman numbers were in the range he wanted. One swing with a club that fit my oversized beanpole body. Now I was aware that he's a salesman and part of his job is being stripper/car salesman ("i think she really likes me dude"/"I need the rust proofing babe.") But swinging those clubs was a much, much better experience. I couldn't believe the difference even if some of it was a placebo effect. Anyway I get my new irons tomorrow. Im stoked to still suck with my $1700 clubs.
  23. id like to get those wisdom numbers down to about 0, otherwise looks great
