@Joseph6767 They only lost by 3 strokes, and The Duke played bad even for him. Marissa cost them a couple as well.
I could get behind changing the format. At that point, you’ve formatted it so horrible players didn’t have huge impacts. To suddenly go straight Alt Shot is really tough.
Caught up on the Internet Invitational.
I don’t trust people who don’t like the Duke.
Also, it’s kind of soft if your response to him being on your team is
“This is unfair!”
And not
“This will be legendary when we pull this off.”
@Smithin_It_Up@Zach_Beasley27 I was a pitcher and I throw what I consider the WORST BP in the country. It’s a safety hazard. Yippy cutters.
I think an intensive labrum surgery also contributed to this though.
@Zach_Beasley27 is the best BP thrower in the country and it’s not close.
It’s feel good location-wise but game like velocity-wise. This lets him challenge hitters when needed and boost confidence other times.
It’s a legitimate game changer.
I love using machines, but I think there is massive value in facing quality firm BP and Darts daily. Everything is a tool and rarely is a certain tool perfect for all athletes.
“Yeah he’s a chucker bro. I know i suck at sports and have my whole life and everyone hates me but i definitely know ball. It was somehow a fluke for 30 straight games in the SEC last year.”
@ArkActAssn@NFHSNetwork not sure whose responsibility it is, but I just paid 15 bucks to watch the 6A volleyball state tournament game, Southside vs. Bryant, and we can’t get the schools right.
To make matters worse I have to look at “Bentonville” which specifically sucks.
@coachkelley1 Falcons just ran a hook and lateral up 12 with 10 minutes to go in the 4th.
RB leaked out of the backfield to be the lateral man which gave him a lot of downfield momentum. Pretty slick, thought you’d appreciate.
@Cjones08 Just my opinion, but yes. It’s hard to pick your foot up without already knowing if your destination is first or the plate.
I always thought it made me inconsistent as far as delivery and control so I opted for just being under a 1.3 to the plate and picking ovcasionally
Also, getting their time to the plate is irrelevant if you go from initial leg lift.
You have to start the clock when he reaches his point of no return to the plate.
He’s not the 1.7 he appears to be if he’s a read move lefty. He’s effectively much quicker.
@tangotiger@ToirtapB@thorn_john I’ll read it.
Sorry for coming out of the gate hot and calling you condescending. You’re right that I shouldn’t assume your motives. I appreciate your explanation…and the Few Good Men reference.
Thanks for the hard work you guys have done and continue to do for baseball.
@ToirtapB@tangotiger I am no longer assuming arrogance or condescendence. I have mustered up my benefit of the doubt as reccomended by Mr. Tango.
Sounds like I need to read that!
What’s next for sabermetrics? What problems are you guys trying to solve now?
@tangotiger@ToirtapB So, you’re trying to advance sabermetrics and sometimes in a snarky, but funny way. I can buy that.
You want to leave these never-ending base value stats in the past, I can buy that too.
If they’re in the past, what is the future of sabermetrics? How do you/we advance it?
@tangotiger@ToirtapB It’s actually hilarious you said that. I told someone just last week, that as I get older, I’ve started to side with Colonel Jessup.
To make it even weirder, I watched Chinatown and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest the week before.
What are the chances?!
@tangotiger@ToirtapB Then what are you being?
I can’t remember the exact words, but you said something to the tune of, we should make all of these bad stats so that other people stop making them.
If it’s not condescending, I just want to know the purpose. I’m trying to understand your angle.
Barry Zito is throwing pitches that D3 hitters today are seeing on a regular basis. I don’t think any other sport has had a larger jump in quality over the last 10-15
Extremely rough draft and AI explanation of wBPPA.
Used an article @tangotiger sent me for help and inspiration. Ironically he sent me the article to tell me this has been done before, and it's not worth it.
I'm having fun and that's what matters.
