@BeyondThaGlory If that’s the case, and I’m inclined to think I jumped the gun, what does it say that many, including me, thought this 100% plausible? Thought it was legit. This is something I could see her saying with certainty based on her past idiocy.
Martina Navratilova, a true tennis icon, cuts through the noise with clear truth. Including biological males in women’s teams is not inclusive for the female athlete who loses her spot as a result.
Biological realities of strength, speed, and power create inherent advantages for males that cannot be wished away. This erodes the fair playing field women have long fought to establish.
Protecting sex-based categories in sports ensures women retain their opportunities and achievements. Listening to experienced athletes like Navratilova upholds genuine fairness and respect for female competitors.
1) I could go to NY and win #27, #28 and maybe more, or 2) I could go to Boston and help do something no one alive had ever seen.
2 seemed way more appealing.
Nope, the contact itself was illegal (happens all the time) and not allowed. Boston had exclusivity for 72 hours and he said "F that", totally respect that.
@gehrig38 instead of saying if you don't go to Boston you can fill in the number, Cashman should have been trying to do whatever he could to convince you to come to NY over Boston. It seemed that he was content letting Boston convince you to play there
Angel, tell me you've never had a close friend who is honest with you, without saying that exact thing. You are ALL truly biting the hand that feeds you. If Caitlin Clark left for Europe tomorrow, the WNBA would NOT survive under its new financial structure UNLESS the NBA increased its subsidies to your league by tens of millions. Instead of bridging the divide, you've become a female Jussie Smollett, claiming victimhood rather than appreciating your talent and your lot in life.
His take got too much for me to continue. So I blocked him and will let him scream into the void. I can only take so much stupid on this account and I fill up most of that quota.
@paul1776420@CoachFloyd7@gehrig38@VanceMuncy49557@xOneTrackMind Says the guy that was telling Curt Schilling he doesn’t know pitching. Save the baseball talk for people that played beyond Little League and actually know the sport. Why won’t you address my earlier points? Probably because you know you’re wrong.
No, I actually was "in contact" with Brian during the talks with Boston and he made it VERY CLEAR to me that if I did not go to Boston he'd be at my door the next day and I could "fill in the number".
@gehrig38 It's interesting. Would you rather have Ichiro / Boggs or someone like Judge or PCA. I think at least 9 out of 10 would take the power hitter. However wouldnt it be great to have high avgs in the 1 and 2 spot
@paul1776420@VanceMuncy49557@xOneTrackMind Ya, seeking attention by telling a dude who maxed out on JV he has no concept of the game on X, that’ll garner me loads of attention.
Average velocity is not way up, AJ Burnett had as live an arm as any man alive. The tech specs of HOW it’s measured has changed dramatically. No big deal but what HAS changed is hitters approaches, hitters don’t care if they K, that’s insane to me.
Ok. What an argument you make. I concede.
I pitched thru 2 of the radar guns and they were 3-4 mph apart. Any scout or coach knew that but along comes Dave……
Thanks for clarifying, I’ll never discuss it again.
🥸🥸🥸
@gehrig38 Come on man the league throws way harder than ur hay day.
Doesn’t mean guys like u Randy Pedro wouldn’t be dominant, also doesn’t mean the Burnett and Daniel cabreras of the world weren’t flirting with triple digits.
But the average 5-6th inning today vs then is veryy different
Hi Curt, we have a very small podcast we just started and our second episode is going to be on the current state of offense in baseball and the effect of “increased” velocity. Would love to have you come on and discuss this with us if you are up for supporting some small timers! Here is a link to our premier episode on gambling in baseball. We all have other podcasts also so we’re not brand new to it but we’re just baseball fans who love talking ball! https://t.co/W6IZJnYN1g
VERY simple answer. The money dictates how players play and act. If pitchers got paid based on BB/9 velocity would drop dramatically. Hitters are getting paid, part of the reason, for exit velocity. That’s insane
@gehrig38 Honest question, why have hitters stopped caring about striking out and have no real interest in hitting for average and putting the ball in play?
