  1. Since 98% of all pitches thrown can result in a Barney out, any take is a good take.
  2. Yeah the stout run defenders don't do much for me.
  3. i considered that as a hit attempt, it's not really ever a sacrifice with a runner on the corners unless you're having an inept pitcher bunt there It was a safety squeeze, that's definitely a sacrifice attempt. The sac fails never count the wasted pa where the guy fails to get a bunt down and subsequently makes an out. It's dumb.
  4. That escalated quickly
  5. I will leave the bears for the experts and take the jets.
  6. I wish there was a way I could tune out the rest of the crowd at sporting events. The guys who think they know what they talk about are the *worst*.
  7. I can think of three position players on the roster I'd DFA before him easily. A few more that are close. Yeah but tomorrow you're going to like Olt again.
  8. not really, he is taking the year off for health/family reasons.
  9. get yourself behind in the count with stupid foul bunts, making yourself an easy K target. Real smart.
  10. Ricketts on the floor of the CBOE talking to Rick Santelli about renovation, I assume this is going to delve into Santelli shouting about government interference.
  11. Every futbol show I've seen is obsessed with coaches.
  12. Yay for winning. Boo for douche with gopro on his head.
  13. I kind if ignored it and thought he was just indifferent. Was he really uncomfortable?
  14. Yeah, because of the schedule... well being mediocre and then also playing a rough schedule on top of it. On paper there isn't series you would say we should win in the month of April. You might be able to call a split with Arizona because we are at home, and their pitching is struggling big time. We might be lucky to get 10 wins. Pittsburg and Philthy are hardly juggernauts.
  15. By definition it always maintains consistency from park to park. I'm not sure how you could even think otherwise here. You not aware how motion tracking cameras work? It's not all on the framer, but that's a part of it. Well, the strike zone is not a fixed point in space, every ump calls it differently and every stadium has a unique setup for its system, so it would be a mistake to assume consistency. And they are referring to it as a framing measurement, which very clearly puts the blame on the catcher. Not to mention, they've played 2 teams in 2 stadiums so far and a small percentage of the league's umps have called their games.
  16. I get that it is pitch f/x data, but how reliable is that for determining the strike zone in every stadium? Each stadium is obviously uniquely designed which makes their systems at least questionable as to the accuracy of how it is measuring strikes. It is one thing to judge speed and movement of any one pitch, but the strike zone is fluid throughout the league, from ump to ump, batter to batter. There are a whole bunch of reasons why a pitch that any one stadium's system determines to be in the zone may be called a ball. The cameras track the trajectory of the ball, and it's accurate to within an inch. Since mounds, distances to the plate, and size of the plate are consistent from park to park, the data will be consistent across the board. Well, an inch is more than nothing. And by definition it cannot maintain consistency from park to park. And putting it on the framer is silly.
  17. Is there a reason they play the Browns every single year in the preseason? I feel like I've read something about it before, but can't remember. No idea.
  18. The stadiums have to have an influence since they set up cameras in each stadium to gather the data. I'm not suggesting a team employee is skewing the data.
