@thepainguy As Ted said "there is this thing called logic". There is also this thing called "cause and effect". You can work it out.

@thepainguy Stanton's front foot is bracing against the power of his swing, including rotation. Notice how his bat smashes into his back. OTOH, look at Pujols, a Lau/Hriniak hitter, who is as strong as Stanton, takes his top hand off the bat, reducing the twisting force on his front ankle.

@charlesmurray Maybe biology will expand to include magic?

@davidaxelrod @realDonaldTrump @ossoff The power of the message that nobody would have heard but for Natalie.

@DougHeye Actually it was praise for an 80 year old 300 lb. slob.

@charlesmurray "As with so many things involving IQ, a huge amount of good work has gone into disentangling all (the) things jumbled into IQ".
And to what end?

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@thepainguy If the Cardinals were teaching to hit like Ted Williams, of course, striding with a closed front foot would be stupid. But they're not, so they, like all major league teams, teach a CLOSED FRONT FOOT STRIDE. For obvious reasons, do they.

@thepainguy A workable stance and a combined load-stride places the batter in position to hit the ball. The head going down swings and directs the bat to the ball WITHOUT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT. Cues beyond HEAD DOWN AND HIT THRU ARE HARMFUL. Fix flaws, like open stride, before the swing starts!

@thepainguy There's a reason for the epidemic; the pitchers throw too hard. But if they didn't throw hard, they wouldn't be in the majors. There is no free lunch.

@charlesmurray Rahm Emanuel, a plausible presidential candidate, thinks we need to reform early childhood education. He seems sincere; do you think that could help?

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@charlesmurray Do we know if Head Start improves social skills? How about crime rates? So just ignore these kids?

@charlesmurray The American creed like "All men are created equal"?

@atrupar The problem, she's not a good candidate. Se doesn't handle questions well.

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@charlesmurray South Asians: where do they fit? They seem to be pretty smart. How about Kamala? She says she's "black", like her mother had nothing to do with it.

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

After taking a stance close to the swing start position, with rhythm, the batter's posture and movements are controlled without conscious thought by the eyes and the proprioceptive and vestibular systems. Verbal commands are not needed, indeed harmful.

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@neeratanden And remember folks like Donna Brazill. Black women "are the back bone of the Democratic Party" she preached. She let it be known, Biden and Kamala must stay. Or else!

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@charlesmurray Good grief! Bill Maher's job is to stay newsy, but who are these Communists? The country already has existential problems. A unchecked, dishonest, corrupt president on the low end of the Bell Curve, supported by to many. The Dems have many issues, but Communism isn't one of them.

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@mehdirhasan Sounds like you're talking about Kamala.

[Nick @DavidNicho49523]

@FrancescaHongWI Why not just be a proud Democrat. There is no reason to add Socialist to your party affiliation.
