@DaddyBean99@ColtonR_15 I think letting our young highly-touted lefty bats face left-handed pitchers is the best way for them to learn how to hit better against left-handed pitchers.
@brewrers@bezuidengoy@travissram@mctiggyy@mjd_analysis For most pitches, the speed and direction it moves is how I define what pitch type it is. If it's in between 2 types, then I'll defer to whatever the pitcher calls it.
@MrBrandman24@TroyMachir Should this be ruled a catch or not? Pitcher definitely uses part of his uniform to aid in the putout.

@JLucroy20 Since us common folk can't know anything about hitting, should we listen to your advice, or the other MLB hitters that contradict your advice, many of whom have been better hitters? Should we just turn our brains off when hearing conflicting information?
@TJStats@AndThatsBB I don't know the actual history of it, but I like to imagine some random guy in a bar one day was like "What if you just added these two things" and accidentally created an almost-perfect stat
@TJStats@AndThatsBB I know the math is shoddy, but isn't team OPS strongly correlated with team runs (even more than wOBA)? I feel like I remember seeing that a while back.

@jullerino@robinebers@theo Not a t3 code user, but let's say I have a script that generates a csv, and wanna open it in a spreadsheet app instead of an ide? That would be one use case. But maybe you can already directly open files from the app ๐คทโโ๏ธ
