@donboscomd@ROSS1KG Reducing to 5 years of team control is a good step, but I think to really get more players to benefit it has to be 3 or 4 years. That being said, average MLB career is 3 years so maybe it just ends their careers then?
@notgaetti It’s not, look at how violent he is with his legs. Everything else is relaxed, but that is a powerful dude with crazy levers. Judge is the same way.
@baseballbatbros That’s good, although it would have been interesting to see what these companies would have come up with with more flexibility in the rules. Guys make trade offs like that with wood bats, thought it’s usually a drop zero vs a drop 3.
@baseballbatbros Doesn’t solve the problem that most of the WAR generated in the MLB is from players under team control. Players Union is fighting the wrong battle. They should accept a cap to get players to free agency after year 3, not year 6.
@WaterlooVoodoo@baseballbatbros I’ve only messed with lengths/ weights with wood bats but when it comes to maxing out distance and ev, the longer, lighter bats win. In games hitting real pitching, I use a shorter, fatter bat and it’s way better. But the way teams strategize, they might want it differently.
@AyeYoItsRayy@TortsIllustrtd I’d like to see you hit ONE home run with an entire week’s worth of BP pitches
He hit 4 in a row off a baseball that isn’t even white at night.
@shegone03 The more advanced game modeling consider offense more as a process of moving runners than it does batter outcomes, hence why we are seeing the smarter teams seeking batting average.
@yankeesondeck_ It is really hard to have a front move like that and not lunge and collapse. That alone is really hard to learn and execute.
I think scouts pick out biomechanical quirks and movement patterns that scale to the big leagues. That’s definitely one of them.
@NjTank99 Undersized lefty with a low arm slot that can reach 97 and throws strikes has a massive potential ceiling. There’s a reason he got huge bonus offers from a bunch of MLB teams last year while recovering from TJ. Great pick by the Mets here.
@itsme_tati_@NewYorker They still have by far the best leg room in coach of any airline. It’s not a big deal if the person in front of me reclines because they aren’t crushing my knees.
@NewYorker@avianca is doing their part to combat sex tourism by preventing anyone over 6 foot to comfortably sit in their planes even when nobody reclines.
I have been too blackpilled to send out many letters recently but I bet you that the Federal Reserve receives so few public comments about appointees that we can fuck over this nasty jeet bitch if people just bother to mail in complaints.
@devenmorgan Bat manufacturers struggle to do this with drop 3s. Baseball bat bro Instagram story has tons and tons of broken BBCOR bats with handles that are too flimsy for the barrel masses. I suspect they’re not going to want to make new handles, so they’ll have different weight end caps
