I would think a called strike is still better than a swinging strike! Means the batter is not picking up what the pitcher is throwing down or sitting on and waiting for his pitch! Plus on a called strike it has removed all possibilities of ever being hit with no swing! Hence a ever bigger miss then if he swung and missed! Hard to foul off balls if you don't swing either too!

Really depends on the count...

This. A called strike on a fast ball down in the middle on the first pitch isn't very special

Why would the count matter if he doesn't swing, he can't hit it either!

[Orgfiller]

Lots of hitters take pitches at the beginning of the PA or when they're well ahead in the count. A swinging strike in those situations most likely means the hitter was trying to be aggressive but the pitcher succeeded in getting him to miss.

Your PL teams sucks arse. Pre-wipe arse.

 

This is true.

 

Also. "teams sucks arse."

 

No more writey-writey for you. Missed you Moogster!

[GD]

Writey-write, not writey-writey. It's past your bedtime. Or don't they have school, or parents, up in Canada? After all, it's the Tuesday, and tomorrow will be the Wednesday. I don't know how all that converts into the metric system (my guess is you have 10 day weeks, 10 day months and 10 month years ... multiplied by 9/5 + 32).

 

Silly Moogster, you forgot this at the end of your post.

I'm sure you thought that was very clever.

[KingKat]

I'm sure you thought that was very clever.

 

I snickered. I enjoy a very literally minded joke.

Wrong thread?

[Deadpool]

Not nearly as clever as stealing the name and image of a comic book character as your username, granted ... and I guess not even as clever as responding to a picture which highlights the sad truth in that original statement by utilizing literalism by essentially saying "oh yeah? that's not even funny!" ... but, yeah, it's f***ing clever.

 

Well, you've done it. You've rendered my speechless. I have literally no idea how to react so someone who thinks that picking a username on an internet message board somehow equates to theft. I bow to your clear mastery of all things.

[Deadpool]

Your speechless what?

 

So THIS is what happens to the brain when it's deprived of oxygen and eventually ceases functioning. You know, from being face down in a pool and all that. Knowing is half the battle. "Stealing" is a term that needn't be taken as the literal criminal act, sparky ... it was quite obviously just a mention that, someone who actually questions if something is "clever" was so "clever" in simply taking (i.e. stealing) the already-created fake persona (or name) of a cartoon character (this is when you reply by pointing out he's not an actual "cartoon"). Perhaps I gave you too much credit, and you're actually the pool, and not the (fake) guy floating in it.

 

Excellent, attacking an obvious typo to feel superior, well done! Clearly I should have me team of editors on hand at all times so I can be spared your wrath!

 

I'm going to assume that you haven't read or otherwise encountered the character of Deadpool, if you think that my persona is in any way "stolen" from him. I like the character, I had no use for my old forum name, so I chose this one when I signed up for this forum. Anyone who knew me from the old forum would attest that my "persona" is the same, regardless of the name change.

 

But hey, keep being needlessly antagonistic, that's sure to win you lots of friends and make you feel super duper good about yourself!

[Deadpool]

You should have "me team of editors" (i.e., your brain), and you should eat "me spinach," Popeye.

 

Guess you missed the "or name" parenthetical, because you ranted on about something that was already covered. It's not about you trying to BE like Deadpool. Oy. Seriously, even if I explain it, you'll just come back with something completely randomly dumb. But, I'm a glutton for punishment, so ... some dude named after a comic book character, with his avatar and signature reflecting the same, was actually trying to question my cleverness. Das ist alles. The rest is a result of you not being able to thinky-think, ready-read or comprehendy-comprehend. This conversation is dead in the pool of water.

 

See, "me team of editors" was so f***ing obviously intentional in context that I figured even you wouldn't need it pointed out.

 

So, I used the name Deadpool (and related avatars), but not anything else about Deadpool and this is "stealing" (no, not the crime) somehow? I picked a name of a thing I liked and used it. Just because Boxcar happens to enjoy random hobo sex in boxcars, that doesn't mean he "stole" the name Boxcar.

 

Also, my signature has absolutely nothing at all to do with the character of Deadpool, no idea where you got that.

[Boxcar]

Don't knock it until you try it.

[Deadpool]

Don't knock it until you try it.

 

Ha, implying that I haven't tried it. You just had the name first!

[43211234]

Oh look, Moogy doing the same old s***. Getting in ridiculous arguments with large word counts, and just being altogether insufferable.

 

Pls ban.

I find his posts pretty humorous.

[GD]

Hey guys,

 

I would appreciate quick thoughts on my article! It's my first foray into more mathematical analysis. Thanks.

[baubau]

I would read it GD, except you know, you never read my own god damn comments! >_

Left a comment on the Harris article saying you had a typo and that a "mod" would approve it. Still nada. The error: He posted an ERA of 2.45 with 116 strikeouts in 10 innings.

 

Its a 110 you dweeb!

[GD]

Comments on breaking blue aren't entirely functional lol. It's usually all spam, and I didn't get an approval email??? idk why. I approved it now though.

 

I'm more responsive to PM's in general though. Thanks
