Are they charging full NFL price for the game?

Have a laugh.

That’s funny, but there’s nothing in it for Musk to do that merge, unless he has the explicit goal of spending billions of dollars in an attempt to destroy social media.

No wonder nobody trusts the courts anymore. Regardless of their high-profile misses throughout history, they were supposed to be the one institution most dedicated to fairness of jurisprudence.

I honestly feel sorry for any children who might be living in the households of this guy and of the people cheering for him.

Trump definitely loves the power that comes with being President of the United States of America. I completely agree he has no interest in the actual work involved.

An infielder doesn’t have to make 100 throws in a game for a 10mph deficit versus average to cost him more outs with late throws than an average infielder would yield over the course of a season. One thing I would like Statcast to start tracking is accuracy of infield throws. Establish a “strike zone” for throws to first, a zone within which a first basemen can comfortably reach for a throw, versus having to stretch too far left or right, or leap way up, or have to come off the bag. Also, throws that make it all the way to first base in the air, or that bounce far enough in front of first so the ball is caught at a comfortable height, versus balls that bounce right at the feet of the first baseman. I assume they’re actively figuring that out, or maybe they already have and just don’t share it publicly at the moment. Statcast could also measure how far in front of the bag a first baseman catches the throw. The longer he stretches, the more inches he shaves off the throw distance, the quicker he catches the ball, the more OAA made during the season. I gotta believe they are working on that one, too.

Average throwing stepped does not include non-contesting throws such as tosses into the infield from after routine single. They separate out only to top x throws that have a play attached to them, and are calculated for a player only after an established minimum number of contestable throws for the position. Baddoo is still below average. Be that as it may, to your point, Baddoo is also inconsistent and inaccurate, which we both agree to be true by applying the subjective, anecdotal eye test. Also, for what it’s worth, Statcast also says Baddoo has a bad jump and the routes he takes are also below average.

Baddoo’s average throwing speed is 84.7, which ranks 29th of 40 qualifying left fielders and sits comfortably below the big league average of 87.3.

Sure it could happen, but there is no way any amount of biomechanics gurury is going to hike TORK!’s 74mph average throw up to the MLB average of 85mph for third basemen. Anyhow, was it you who came on board with me a week or so ago when I hypothesized that the Drivelining of pitching might be a key reason pitcher injuries have rocketed skyward? If infielders start doing those kinds of drills as well, we might see a rash of TJs among them, too.

It would be nice, but TORK!'s arm is way too weak for third. Heck, it's among the weakest of those at first, and they practically don't need an arm at all.

I'm not complaining about the job Harris is doing so far, and I am definitely giving him a lot of rope, at least a couple years worth, in which he has to demonstrate some level of incompetence before I do start seriously complaining. I don't expect to see that—I'm just setting my personal benchmark for that kind of response. That said, within a limited sense, I'm with you. So far it's been a lot of meh waiver pickups coupled with tenders and non-tenders everyone expected even during the season. Nothing on the roster front has surprised or delighted me just yet. In fact I'm a bit disappointed by the Cisnero tender, based on his advanced age, steadily declining strikeout rate, and sieve-like walk rate. OMMV.

There is that, too. People who like the fascism without the histrionic personality.

The only decent thing Sarah Palin has done, and the best part is, she couldn’t push back even though the joke was on her.

Not Maggie’s Farm? That’s a big favorite of mine. I think his voice is a perfect match for the style.

Are torrents still a thing, even?

That’s fine, go ahead and investigate and tighten up that pipeline, but Ukraine have to beat Russia, and we have to keep helping them.

Trump knows he’s going to stay out of prison. I think he’s running for the money and the fascism.

If you like Gregory Soto, you’ll love Alex Reyes.

Jose Cisnero? Huh.

Much dancing in the Motownforums aisles tonight.

Good news for many here: he’s good as gone.

I gotta believe if the Dodgers can’t fix him, he’s probably unfixable. Pass.
