GDT (1 of 3) Angels v Blue Jays - Skaggs v Dickey

[gruber92]

Honestly I would have guessed the same thing...I remember Ellis Valentine having the biggest arm I've ever seen. Then looking at the stats he had 10 errors as a RF in one season. We just didn't see every game...just the highlights of many non-Jays games (although I watched the Expos games in French). In general everyone is throwing harder today than 30 years ago...and I'm guessing the accuracy hasn't taken a hit.

 

Is there a stat that can prove the accuracy of an outfielder's arm is better or hasn't changed since the 80's and 90's?

[Spanky99]

There is always going to be idiots like Tabby in the mix. The overall pool of opinions consists of more in the know than idiots like Tabby.

 

That's why I asked who?

 

Lol.. You're 43 years old. So you are trying tell me that you can remember actual events and the overall talent of the game from when you were 6 years old?

 

Try again..

 

Yes... watched and played it religiously. Regardless, I was mocking you bro. Your mindset is archaic.

The irony.

Slow GDT today :/

[Spanky99]

Slow GDT today :/

 

Jays were winning, this is old hat. Had we been losing, we'd be up to 35 pages or more, no doubt.

Nope. Does that prove you right? This is the Anti-Science argument that can't be won...although the anti-science person always looks like an idiot, just letting you know.

It's all I was saying man.

[Candy Maldonado]

Jays win!!!!! Let's go Rays!!!!

[G-Snarls]

Jays win!!!

[gruber92]

The irony.

 

I said since 1982 when i was 15 years old you punk. I guess i should of said since 1972?

[Daniel Labude]

Blue Jays Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Were you at 72'...

f***ing Kiermaier

[HERPDERP]

Gibby suggested he has no problems with Martin at DH...

 

we might be seeing more of this

It doesn't prove me wrong either. Why does the anti-science person look like an idiot on something that hasn't been or can't be measured? I guess you are just saying that my opinion is full of s*** on this matter. What's that say about you and others like you? The funny thing is i'm not totally anti-science at all. Some of the measurements with the tools of today are actually refreshing, especially on the offensive side.

Boom boom boom!

Because players are bigger, stronger and faster... let the wheel go round.

During Dickey starts... write a book, bruh.

[gruber92]

Jesus Spanky, i know this. This isn't relevant when it come to accuracy though.

 

This is just like in the NBA where free throw shooting isn't what it was. Are you going to say we should all assume this is a farce because the players are bigger, stronger and faster?

I just meant that based on your argument that it can't be proven. You make a statement that all rapists are evil. I argue that science can't prove they are evil, so it's an untrue statement. You can back up stats like the psychological effects to the victims and stuff like that which can be proven. But my argument back would remain...it doesn't prove that the rapist is evil. Moral and common sense tell us that I'd be an idiot in this argument...but I can keep saying the same thing.

 

We can prove that athletes are more athletic, throwing harder, and have more measurements to test that. But we can't prove your argument with numbers. So I'm going to come right out and say it! You are obviously a rapist sympathizer and f*** it a supporter of rape.

I'm sure throwing a baseball, is much easier than your example OF A DIFFERENT SPORT, but hey, have at it man. I'm done.
