  1. Past hour
  2. How many minutes did Ausar play in game 1? I will take my answer off the air.
  3. Might as well win one of these games
  4. Something called Formula One is holding a race this weekend. I don't know, I'm going to check it out.
  5. That meme has been around for 10 years!
  6. Maybe they have played their best games and they just so happen to have been regular season games? Maybe they simply punched above their weight enough that they stumbled into a top conference seed? Nobody had them in this position before the season started.
  7. Who is saying "this is fine"?
  8. Kia Center - Orlando, FL Watch: Prime
  9. This season needs to take a turn for the better. Atlanta has our number for sure.
  10. Same. I'd probably play Carpenter everyday, too, and just move him up/down vs RHSPs/LHSPs.
  11. Apparently, Camden Yards has the most home run robberies while Wrigley Field has had none.
  12. The MLB app on my phone keeps excitedly broadcasting news about another dramatic “Home Run robbery!” My natural suspicions aroused I decided to “ask the Internet” and this is what I found. 1. Declining Fence Heights and Distances. Modern ballparks have trended toward shorter and more uniform fence heights, making robberies physically possible for more outfielders. Direct Impacts: Specific renovations have directly led to more robberies. For example, lowering the center field fence at Rogers Centre (10 to 8 feet) and Comerica Park (8.5 to 7 feet) immediately resulted in several successful "thefts" that would have been impossible with the old dimensions. Average Heights: The average wall height in center field is now 8.4 feet, making it the primary zone for robberies. In contrast, stadiums with higher walls, like Wrigley Field (up to 16 feet), are often "dead zones" where robberies almost never occur. 2. Increase in Fly Balls and "Wall Action" The "launch angle revolution" has resulted in more balls being hit in the air with enough distance to clear the fence, increasing the opportunity for a catch at the wall. Frequency: In the decade from 2005-2014, robberies occurred roughly once every 60 games; by 2019, that frequency increased to once every 29 games. 3. Advanced Defensive Positioning Teams now use Statcast data and analytics to position outfielders more effectively. Deeper Positioning: Outfielders are often positioned deeper than in previous eras (sometimes 5-9 feet deeper on average), which actually shortens the distance they must run to reach the wall in time for a jump. Training and Technology: Players receive detailed reports on their jump times, routes, and catch probabilities, allowing them to refine the "science and art" of tracking both the ball and the wall simultaneously.
  13. Today
  14. Something about Don Jr. being given a new version of the Apprentice on Amazon..
  15. Putin trying to have Trump get him a ceasefire so his Army could regroup after their terrible Winter/Spring offensive.
  16. Jansen has given up 3 walk-off dingers now. I don't recall that happening in such a short span in my lifetime. I remember when a Diamondback reliever (Kim?) gave up 2 in the world series in 2001. Glad I worked late and missed it
  17. With Utah on a powerplay in 2OT, a bad turnover by Weegar allows Jack Eichel to go in on a break but he was stopped. So what does the Mammoth do with this second lease on life? They give up a shorthanded goal on the ensuing faceoff . r
  18. Not necessarily true though. If the districts in the North flip the country, then the districts in the South can be restored. People have to stop worrying about the details of the win and Just find the straight line path. Win first and everything else can follow.
  19. Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, its business as usual for Pig-King’s Brownshirt terror thugs.
  20. But it also took Paolo being Superman to keep those guys in the game. It evened out between the two. Regardless, I wouldn't say that this win inspired much confidence since Duren was still largely a no show and the bench still isn't bringing much but they're alive still so we'll take it.
