@kylekirms@WhiteHorseFinal Soccer would be more exciting if the field was half as long, if the ball was bouncier, if the players had jet packs on, etc. Not everything in sports is about entertainment; the challenges of playing the game are what make it interesting. NBA got rid of defense and now it sucks
@damBeckwith Righty is the only one that fits because of the thumb visible on the top hand. If it’s a lefty, thumb should be at a different angle or not visible at all
@Diehard_johnny@Freeirabrown@hokcbb Gonzaga has always been the exception to P5 (P4, the big east is falling off) dominance. New P12 is the next conference on the list after the big east, has a media deal, and is clearly the premier conference in the west. It’s sunny in Spokane too
@JAustinEDU@DavidBulley Clearly the latter, and a B means that you either are not quite academically proficient at an A level or need to work on executive skills. 0-100 system without extra credit, curves, “floors,” etc is as objective a system as we can hope for
@tybuttrey_ What should they do if they can’t pitch him up and in, then? Hang sliders over the middle? HBPs are part of pitching up and in, that’s okay, I don’t mind Detmers throwing behind Julio in retaliation but their job is to get outs and Trout is vulnerable up and in
@tybuttrey_ Your whole argument is “you don’t know ball, it’s okay when I miss up/in on purpose but not when they do on accident.” Bias is fine, it’s okay to say that it sucks to see your old teammate get hit, but this is not some malicious plan by Seattle pitchers to hurt him
@tybuttrey_@FunkytownGotcha Throwing up and in at a guy on purpose because he’s “too comfortable” is way worse than missing up/in on a fastball intended to draw weak contact or a whiff lol. Both are part of the game, Legumina’s pitch is way more defensible than yours though
@colinokeefe@sansaver23 Thin Blue Line is not anti-Black or anti-civil rights in any way. Some weirdos co-opt it, but it has always represented gratitude/support for law enforcement. Not everything is racist
@CommonEnemySSBM Challenge system >>> full ABS because it retains catcher framing and gives players another skill to master. Players share responsibility for good/bad challenges now, which is way more compelling than having the game be purely driven by a computer
