I am officially pro two-bag at first base. No more clipping of feet or running into fielders.
Baserunners have to run in foul territory but touch a base thats in fair territory. If it was a two-bag situation from the beginning of time no one would question it. we'd just nod and say, well yeah that makes sense.
TLDR:
If you throw from a low slot but don't get much ride on your heater that doesn't mean you can't throw it up in/above the zone. Check that VAA, and if it's low, start throwing it up in the zone, but only if you can command it!

For exams, pivot to ~100% in-class essays and oral exams. Worked like a charm in my University of Austin seminar.
I'm not sure this is a net-bad change over the status quo. And even if it is, it's inevitable anyway. Resisting it is like resisting the advent of calculators.
The alternative route is a stupid & unwinable arms race between cheaters and cheat-detection. Professors are destined to lose this arms race, b/c the incentives to successfully cheat will always be stronger than the incentive to catch cheaters.
#BlueJays Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has 31 hard-hit outs this season—batted outs of at least 95 mph. He has a expected batting average and an expected slugging of .448 and .935, respectively on those, versus an actual batting average and slugging percentage of .000.
Same thing happened last year, and it was at about this time that the switch flipped.
