    LOL @ the style in which Tringale torpedoed all of my good draftkings lineups.
  2. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Poop. The Rich Hill curve was more than enough, but that clinches it. I have a new fav prospect.

    Well, that would explain why the guy doesn't want to press charges. But it doesn't matter what he said or how the guy who got KO'd feels about it. The Pads fan needs to be charged with assult. Well I'm no lawyer but somebody choosing not to press charges is a thing that happens all the time Jesus. I'm no lawyer either, but I'm well aware of the fact that someone can go to jail for assult even if the victim isn't pressing charges. If there is evidence and the prosecutor wants to charge the guy, then he gets charged.

    Because he doesn't want it to get out what he said? Well, that would explain why the guy doesn't want to press charges. But it doesn't matter what he said or how the guy who got KO'd feels about it. The Pads fan needs to be charged with assult.

    Just read the guy decided not to press charges. ...why does that matter at all?

    But just imagine if you cashed a Superfecta!

    That's a shame. He used to be aces.

    Can't vote. I haven't watched a game that used the new rules yet.

    I believe the call was that the catcher was blocking the plate, and it made all runners safe?

    Doesn't he mean "executed?".

    ...how? The alternative to a hit thought a normal shift is an out into a heavy shift. In both cases, the HR-BB-K totals remain the same. Incentives. More and more guys have responded to the shift with trying to hit OVER the shift. That's more uppercut swings, with more Ks, BBs, and dongs. Raise the value of a single, and you see more changed approaches. But unlike hitting it the other way, this is a change that guys have shown more ability to actually implement. I mean, that makes sense, but I'm not convinced that the uppercut change versus opposite field change is based on an ABILITY to impliment as opposed to a WILLINGNESS to impliment. And what were you hinting at with the "raise the value of a single" comment. I wasn't sure what you were referring to. EDIT: I'd also argue that shifting is a responce to the launch angle revolution, and not the cause of it.

    I agree its easier said than done, but the shift certainly isn't causing more true outcomes, is my point. The players that get the shift applied on them are the hitters that are unlikely to alter their approach...and those are the hitters that tend to be the true-outcome-heavy batters. There are reasons to want to get rid of heavy shifts, but this aversion to true outcomes shouldn't be one of them. It would lessen the 3 outcomes though. How many times have we seen Schwarbs and Rizzo hit in to some crazy shift on the right side? Certainly if teams weren’t allowed 3-4 infielders over there some of those ground balls and line drives go through for hits. That lessens the HR-BB-K outcomes. ...how?

    I hate not allowing shifts. Unrelated to the main reason that I hate banning the shift, heavy shifting should incentivize batters to just put the ball in play by altering their approach. That should also reduce true outcomes. If it was that easy “to just put the ball in play” I think we’d see it more. It’s just not that easy. Some guy would go hit .380 if it was that easy to flip the ball the other way when 3 guys or on the other side of the IF. And in my scenario you still could shift. It’s just with 2 infielders per side and not 3-4. I agree its easier said than done, but the shift certainly isn't causing more true outcomes, is my point.

    The shift sucks too and should be banned, or at least curtailed. 3B/SS need to stay on 3B side of 2B, 2B/1B need to stay on 1B side of 2B and OF can’t come in past a point to avoid still doing a 3 infielder thing. It’s not that hard to legislate and would lead to more hits/action. I hate not allowing shifts.

    He has caught 86 of 100 innings so far and has a history of wearing down at the plate when he gets overused. Long season, gotta take care of the catchers. His chances of getting HBP twice or thrice after he pimped TF out of the HR last night are also fairly high.

    Kind of seems like his plan to overwhelm Augusta may not work that well. Yeah he hit to a lot of horsefeathers today and his approach/irons and putting are horsefeathers. He miss hit a ton of approach shots by 5-10+ yards, which for these guys is enormous. Not having the green books I think greatly affects him since he’s such an information and not a feel guy. He’s still too talented and a hard worker that he likely wins a Masters at some point but think it’s a few years away. I think he's 6 under par since you've said this.

    Woot!

    Or just connect your laptop to your tv with any number of cords/converters? Or cast to it? Etc?
