    yep. 95% of fans don't see those charts. But when an umpire has to constantly point out his call was wrong in front of the camera?

    Prime has a streaming channel of AMC shows and I routinely throw that on if it's BB or BCS. Even during that format it's better. BB was great and I get why some like it more than BCS. I'm not knocking it. BCS had more depth.

    My question was more about any value you place on a catcher for being “good” at it. Is that a thing? I don’t know.

    I wonder what this will do with pitch framing.

    Me too. And I will grant hitters leeway early on as they have to learn to trust their instinct. The reactions I’ve seen make it sound like it’s part of a deep strategy. I don’t think so. There’s no time for that. Some guys may see numbers and find out “I would have won these so I will challenge more”.

    I’ve tried twice to get into him and I just can’t. I know he’s great and am not knocking him or his fans. Just not for me.

    I believe it’s less than that. Almost instantaneous. One hitter was denied because he sort swung his bat back up to set himself up for the next pitch. Less than 2 seconds.

    He’s done opening day before. I’m sure he will be there even as a fan if he’s not got an obligation of some sort.

    I totally read that name too when looking and still skipped past it. Gehringer wore #3 briefly and Greenberg #7.

    And I’m wondering if they are sort of tracking themselves. See how much they can trust their initial gut. “Am I good at this?”

    Read up on his wiki page. I don’t think Goldwater would have went along. He consistently spoke out against the religious right and in tne 80s and 90s said the party had been taken over by kooks.

    Goldwater and Ike would not be republicans today. Nixon might have been what Lindsay Graham is. Definitely not the Bushes. Reagan is someone I am not sure on. I could argue both ways. I wish I could have seen what William F Buckley would have w written

    The abandonment of those principals by those in power, I know many intellectuals still cling to it and are never trumpers, but i mean the politicians themselves,tells me the principals were just bull**** to rope in voters for the real battle-the culture war.

    I will say this. With MLB doing the game we might see more stuff like this pregame. They didn’t usually show all of this did they?

    Kevin looks like a player from 1985.

    I get pushed Vegas content and this is a common theme from these folks. "Vegas is fine". My wife just went to the airport to go to Dallas. She waited 3 minutes at TSA.

    Derek Hill on the White Sox is so White Sox. I can't explain it but it is.
