I'm not a pitching guru but after watching baseball for 50 years the changes in pitching are pretty obvious. We've gone from the drop and drive, find the corners approach to squeeze the ball and throw from over the top of a stiff leg and get as much spin and movement as possible. You can't rely on locating pitches down and away because you can't force them off the plate. Hitters are fully armored and looking to crush anything away. It's time to accept that body armor, maple bats, full time weight training, etc have made conventional baseball stadium dimensions obselete and forced pitchers to work that much harder for every out

After an Oriole appeal. Pure chickeshit from the Birds

That spray chart shows him to be a dead pull hitter. I think he should try to use the whole field more

If you can't go off last year, and you can't go off paper, and you cant go off who they've beat this year, then there are no tiers.

Give me a few hours and once my morning coffee kicks in I’ll work up a new set of tiers

The U.S. military hasn't been involved in a legitimate operation since World War II. Same goes for our "allies."

I can tell you without a doubt this is not true but not everything is declassified so I can't give any details

Still not straight

Sorry but if it was a man who created that painting he is definitely not straight 

STATE’S RIGHTS!!!!

Unless the state does something I don’t like 

There may be some NHL caliber players in Henderson but nothing more than lineup fillers. They’ll replace Stephenson and Martinez going forward with Hertl and Hanifan but their fate really relies more on Stone’s health and Hill not turning back into a pumpkin. And they better be real sure Hertl’s knee is fit

As our resident misogynist you don't see this as a decision two women might make?

And the Dodgers blaming Ippei

So some guy who makes a living inventing breaking balls is talking shit about a team throwing fastballs? I didn’t see that coming. I guess he’s throwing us a curveball 

They won 4 in a row. I don’t care if it was against my nephew’s Little League team. Pull the sticks out of your asses and enjoy 

I’m watching Dallas and Edmonton and the first two forwards out on the Oilers PK were Rico and Carrick

They're on a 3 game win streak. Let it ride

Well, a good 60 minute game in Calgary.  What a weird ending by the Flames, not even pulling their goalie.  Every so often, we need these wins to keep the spirits up.  It's not like we would ever get the #1 pick anyways.

Frozen 4 ends on the 13th. Maybe you see Gauthier for the last game against Vegas?

Contrary to popular thought, most of the Japanese players can understand Engrish very well.  The problem the Japanese players have is with media.  I think it started with Ichiro, where he said something in English to a reporter, the reporter reported a total tangent on what he said.  And from that point on, the Japanese players all use interpreters when speaking to the media, because they don't want their words misconstrued.  But yeah, that Ippei has been all in there in every aspect has been strange.  that he just showed up really out of nowhere, and didn't use say Matsui or Shige's interpreter on the Angels.  

I live in a house full of Tagalog talkers and work with Arabic speakers. I  understand a good bit of what they say but when I speak their language they don't understand me. I absolutely can see why they would have an interpreter to speak for them in the unfamiliar languages

They're super pissed because they haven't figured out how to monetize Transgender Day of Visibility. They already use this day to sell candy and colored eggs to kids

Maybe the FBI will look the other way but will the IRS?

Maybe they should call Arizona State. They bailed out the Coyotes they can probably do the same for the A's

DeGrom debuted at age 25 and stays hurt. Cole was drafted 13 years and 2 organizations ago. When Strider and Burnes were drafted in the 4th round was it because they were expected to become aces? Unless someone who has the stuff just magically puts it together for you it seems that's something you look for once the other pieces are mostly in place

If you haven't already then you're not likely to acquire a taste for alcohol in the next month or so. You're best off (tolerance wise and price wise) with a simple light domestic. Miller Lite, Coors Light, etc. Bud Light if you want to be rebel

That would be considered gay and then they’d have to stone themselves 

People who can't reach into the deepest recesses of their bowels and find a tiny shred of positivity for opening day don't deserve our scorn, they deserve our pity. The same kind of pity the big Indian dude showed Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cockoo's Nest
