@Christian_Ryan3@colethomasfast The USA standard is so nerfed compared to a USSSA -5 that it isn't a scary proposition for fielders. If anything, it's much worse for the hitter to swing a bigger drop. Physics isn't on your side when you swing a lighter object unless you don't have bat speed with a -3
@Christian_Ryan3 Youth season is mostly over, but big clubs start annual contracts in Aug/Sept. You either hold a try out or you don't have guys for next Spring. I hate it. Its akin to the transfer portal timing and why Omaha teams struggle b/c they are playing while transfers are happening
@GoldbergerAaron@katiejwoo Brilliant for Ohtani? He has 20 years for inflation to degrade the value and he is losing 10+ years of growth on the money. What country has announced income tax rates for 10-20 years from now that will save him money?
@hillam_jared Fair enough. The reality is that anyone paying a premium for a V8 Raptor over a V6 raptor wants all of the noise and they don't care about fuel efficiency. Also, Tesla (most small EV companies) have real problems in the insurance market and it is getting worse not better.
@hillam_jared@SawyerMerritt Elon is maybe the most interesting person ever, but this truck makes no sense and they won't steal market share from trucks like the Raptor R. People in cars and small SUV's may like electric vehicles. Truck people don't. The existing EV truck market is dog shit for a reason
@KCStar It's almost like we should make killing someone illegal so that people wouldn't do it...or maybe some people break laws and law abiding citizens shouldn't have their rights limited because of the criminals
@KCStar Leave it to a dying publication to try to make a racial issue out of a charity event for a headline. The money that they raise is green and that's the only color that matters.
