Careful, John. You averaged 98 games a year. Ripken might include you among the guys who've never played

The Biggest Lie in Baseball Today

The biggest lie in baseball today isn’t that pitchers throw harder.
It’s that people who’ve never played the game at the highest level think they know more than the people who actually did.
I’ve got to laugh at the fucking know-it-alls on here.
Some of us spent 14–15 years in the big leagues. We played 162 games a year. We stood in against 85 mph, 100 mph, 101, 102. We didn’t read about it. We lived it.
Then you’ve got people who never played at that level, never stood in the box against elite velocity, never spent a day in a professional clubhouse, telling the people who actually did that they’re wrong.
That’s fucking hilarious.
Now we’ve got keyboard gurus and pitching-school salesmen acting like they unlocked some secret that’s never existed before.
Give me a fucking break.
Hard throwers have always existed. Triple-digit arms have always existed. Filthy breaking balls have always existed. What changed was the technology used to measure and report pitches—not the fact that freak athletes have been blowing baseballs by hitters for decades.
And here’s what these geniuses never talk about…
Modern hitting instruction has become so obsessed with lifting the ball and launch angle that we’ve created worse hitters. When your swing is built to hit underneath the baseball instead of driving through it, you’re going to struggle more against elite velocity. Pitchers look more dominant in part because the hitters have gotten worse.
But that doesn’t fit the narrative.
Instead, they pretend pitching schools reinvented the human arm.
The funniest part is the absolute confidence. They read numbers off a screen and think they’re qualified to lecture people who spent decades living this game at the highest level.
Here’s a little advice: before you tell someone who’s actually been there what big league velocity looks like, make sure you’ve done more than watch YouTube clips and stare at TrackMan numbers.
Until then, quit pretending you’re the smartest guy in the room.
You’re not baseball people.
You’re fucking dumbasses.

Mike Brown taunting Frank Isola after using the bench masterfully, decreasing starter minutes, and taking the Knicks further than Thibs ever did

[Shaqs Tear @ShaqsTear]

Knicks legend Luke Kornet has played for 6 franchises and 10 head coaches in 9 seasons:
Knicks: Hornacek, Fizdale
Bulls: Boylen, Donovan
Celtics: Brad Stevens, Ime Udoka, Joe Mazzulla
Cavs: Bickerstaff
Bucks: Budenholzer
Spurs: Mitch Johnson

@EJ_Stewart So weak by Brown

[Shaqs Tear @ShaqsTear]

@WorldWideWob Good stuff. Needs several edits on compliment/complement. And KAT's playoff drop statistically is no more of a concern than Randle's.

@ryenarussillo Hot take: It wasn't a shoulder injury that cut Brian Bosworth's career short, it was chopping off the mullet #theboz #seahawks

@nikotaughtyou you doin otto dirtier than you should...iron man played 56 games in 2018-19 (wizards and bulls)

@SkyIala @HoopMixOnly rondo was nice. he wasn't a triple double fiend (*)

rondo: 42 triple doubles in 1091 career games (less than 4% of his games)

ben simmons: 36 in 351 (more than 10% of his games)

(*)2009 playoff rondo was a triple double fiend, but celtics got bounced early by mickaël piétrus

mark davis with every close call in favor of the lakers...lets uniform-pulling go while jokic is held, calls the jokic step-back 3 a 2, and wrongly awards the lakers the ball after they knock it out. nuggets playing 5 on 6. @NBAOfficial #NBAPlayoffs2023 #Nuggets #nuggetsvslakers

every michael malone in-game interview: "we need to play better. we just gave up a 38-point quarter on 70 percent shooting."

per synergy: the denver nuggets have outscored their opponent in all quarters that did not precede an in-game interview #DenverNuggets #NBAPlayoffs

NBA Referee Ed Malloy blatantly got both Ayton calls wrong in the game's final minute -- didn't call the jump ball foul when Ayton held Jokic's shoulder, then forced Denver to use the challenge when Ayton tipped a ball out of bounds #corrupt #NBAPlayoffs #Nuggets #nuggetssuns

If you are watching an NBA game and referee Mark Davis or Scott Foster is on the floor, know that the fix is in. @NBAOfficial, no whistle by Davis here with under 10 seconds left. What game is he watching? #Corruption #NBAPlayoffs #Warriors

.@Roundmp, you knocked it out of the park with Disgraced. Was Harvey Thomas wearing prison garb in the interviews you did? Did he serve time for something?

@ladyballsmcgee @DonJory I'm with you. Have you tried the new
Churray for Churros flavor by Ben & Jerry's? It's the second coming of Oatmeal Cookie Chunk

Referee Mark Davis is to Rudy Gobert as Scott Foster is to Chris Paul. Suspect, targeted calls all game long. NBA refs need to be investigated. #twolves #nbaisrigged #NBAPlayoffs
