[a700hitter]

So uh there goes my pick LOL.

Mine too.

And how do they calculate the distance so quickly?

 

Well, they are using mathlab or some kind of simulator; but it is not that hard to predict if you program and run it on C+ or something. Basically they are using circular movement concepts, thats the important thing:

x= x0+v0 ·cosα·t

y= y0+ v0 ·senα·t-gt2/2

 

or

 

x= R·cosθ-v0 ·senθ·t

y= R·senθ+v0·cosθ·t-gt2/2

 

and Xmax:

 

x= R·cosθ-v0 ·sen(θ)·t

-h= R·senθ+v0·cos(θ)·t-gt2/2

oh my god. My brain exploded. I am terrible at math:D

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Ortiz needs at least 5 or more. Shouldn't be too hard for him, Kemp is going no where.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Poor Kemp.

 

 

lol national league.

[iortiz]

oh my god. My brain exploded. I am terrible at math:D

 

hehehe well, those are basic concepts that we use in transport phenomena in the chemical industry. hehehe:)

[boston22407]

Swing Off!

Come on Papi!

[iortiz]

Big Papi still a HRer beast!, sign him!

[boston22407]

A-God and Papi Moving on!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Holiday does not approve lmao. Damn Prince.

[suns]

Damn Holliday. so close

[boston22407]

2 Redsox in the Final Four !

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

2 Redsox in the Final Four !

 

Honestly, I don't know who is going to the final. A-God looked good but hasn't hit in a while same goes for Cano. Fielder is HOT and Papi is just a boss.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He would post that...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Papi is out. Crazy things have to happen for him to advance. Come on A-God lets do this!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Where in the hell is all this power from Cano coming from haha?

[jacksonianmarch]

Cano has a ridiculous swing.

[boston22407]

He is nice,But everybody and me says a-god has the best swing in the mlb

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Where in the hell is all this power from Cano coming from haha?

 

He's always had a lot of power. But this is nuts

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He's always had a lot of power. But this is nuts

 

Yeah, I know he has power but he has been hitting bombs all night. Hoping for a A-God vs Cano final. Red Sox beating the Yankees in anything is awesome.

[BornToRun]

Yankees/Red Sox dance-off?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Have you seen Papelbon dance? Red Sox no contest.

[BornToRun]

Have you seen Papelbon dance? Red Sox no contest.

 

Don't forget Pedroia's "Daddy" routine, game over for the Yanks.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Looks like a Red Sox vs Yankees final. Beat his ass A-God.
