  1. Metrics weren't needed to see his bobbles and errors on some very easy balls.
  2. Pedroia throwing down with Kimmi:
  3. Spring Training Invitees Announced:
  4. When I watched him pitch, his curve ball was reminiscent of Bruce Hurst's.
  5. It is alarming the first time you see your reflection in a mirror or window and think "what is my father doing here?"
  6. Abe Lincoln's hat was a myth.
  7. Lol! If they came back in style, scouts would have to look for pitchers who are 7 feet tall.
  8. Ben painted himself into a corner by signing both the Doughnut and Hanley. He left himself with no contingency plan and no maneuverability.
  9. I heard that Panda's off season conditioning plan is targeted at adding height.
  10. Couldn't you have stopped after the first sentence?
  11. Like weathermen, everyone listens to what they have to say, but no one keeps a record of how often they are right.
  12. i know someone who was an excellent power hitter in college and then he got extremely heavy (over 300 lbs). We were in a group taking BP at Shea Stadium and he was blasting balls up the gaps to the warning track and wall. When we congratulated him on his hitting, he told us that if he could have rotated his hips that he would have been driving those balls out of the park. He was hitting with all arms. No did not notice the hip rotation limitation by Panda, but I will be looking for it this year.
  13. Is that one of those subtle insults? LOL!
  14. Is there an easy way to get the projections for prior years versus actual results -- on a year by year and cumulative basis?
  15. It is so reliable that they don't keep a record of it.
  16. It was my point. What was your point?
  17. Misuse of resources was the point.
  18. I am proud of my views too, but I don't like being labeled.
  19. If your father doesn't mind the label, that is his business.
  20. And read my reply to that post, where I stated that I had no strong opinion on that issue and didn't find the studies convincing despite not having any strong opinion on the issue. This was to correct your claim that I rejected the studies because the conflicted with my traditionalist views.
  21. Maybe I have worked with Employment Lawyers for too long, your intent doesn't matter when using a term that is derogatory. Calling someone a traditionalist is an insult in my opinion. Most labels are offensive, no matter how subtle you intend them to be.
  22. That was not the discussion in this thread, and I stated several times in this thread that I have no strong opinion on whether the batter has an advantage. Despite the fact that I don't have a strong opinion on that issue, I don't think those studies that you cited months ago present enough evidence to make a reliable case either way. The discussion in this thread has been centered on speed disrupting defense.
