    Tonight 7 PM right?

    I'll take my baseball whichever way I can get it.

    Yeah but that's because you're kind of a jerk. An improved jerk compared to years past, but insufferable from time to time nonetheless.

    Hell, we stop eating the chickens during game days so they can root for the team too!

    O'Leary predicted his problems back in '14, mentioning he does what he likes to call a "Tommy John twist", which is a rotation of the wrist that some pitchers employ that (according to his research and opinion) heavily correlates with TJS. David Price used to not do this, but now does it by the way. O'Leary is extremely knowledgeable, but he's such a massive, self-important, know-it-all douche, that he turns people off from what may be game-changing knowledge regarding baseball biomechanics. He constantly thrashes teams and coaching staffs. That's no way to make friends in the business.

    By the time Prior got drafted by the Cubbies the industry was already catching up to the dangers of pitching with an inverted W. Prior is still a weird case because what gave was his shoulder, not his elbow. By the way, Tom House is a "pitching guru" who has been teaching guys inverted L and inverted W to pitchers for, I think, more than two decades. Both those mechanical systems allow for greater velocity through the use of scapula loading and a slingshot-type arm action, but at what cost? Nolan Ryan has said multiple times that pitcher velocity should be generated in the lower body. History has proven him right.

    The WBC is required viewing here. The country essentially stops during games when DR is playing. You can watch the game in virtually any business that has electricity and a television in it.

    You need to post more.

    Panda looks great, I must admit.

    Have to root for me 'ome country.

    Yes, we know.

    You can't be "clutch" (whatever the f*** that actually is) in the playoffs unless you actually get there. Food for thought.

    Last night's game and today's game were both very enjoyable for me. The slider Cruz hit for a homer was a perfect 2-strike pitch. Cruz had no business hitting that out of the park fair.

    Scherzer was deemed a ticking time bomb since before he was drafted, yet he has not had a single major injury throughout his career.

    You'd be surprised at the success rate of some guys. Some of the mechanics gurus agree that Sale has a "hitch" in his windup that keeps his weird-ass mechanics from screwing with his elbow. Let's hope they are right.

    Oh, absolutely. Don't forget I'm the "inverted W leads to TJ" guy. I've had this conversation before, and have even quoted Chris O'Leary (look him up) a lot on the site. That's the main reason why I did NOT want them to trade for Sale.

    E-Rod and Hanley should not smell the WBC

    Papi didn't play the field.

    Done for the year. Still like him better than Clay. Thank God for Owens.

    ^All good points. The fact that having a slugger bunt is not only a low percentage proposition but also pretty much negates the possibility of an XBH is, again, why hitters keep drag bunts in their back pockets instead of doing it with any sort of consistency to beat a shift. The shift can't beat a HR.

    The problem, again, is controlling a bunt's direction. If a pitcher smells bunt, he'll unleash a high fastball and the hitter will be lucky to put the ball in play, let alone control its direction. That's why hitters are very selective with when they drag bunt.

    The R5D rules only apply to the year the player was acquired. Afterwards, he is the claiming team's "property"

    It's news about the analog blackout. They are trying to move to strictly digital, but black weather made some digital systems fail. We are scheduled to move on completely from analog tv this year as well.
