Does tbad wear women's underwear? Just trying to gauge the consensus here.

 

For this question we are going to need an additional answer selections. Here are some suggestions;

 

Yes, I've seen this personally

 

Please wash my eyes with acid

 

I have no idea, but I don't know if I'm willing to go to the depths required to definitely prove this one way or the other.

Put me in camp "It wouldn't surprise me in the least, but there's no actual proof at this point."

 

Regarding Altuve, women's underwear, both, or other?

A fan did a study of every pitch in 58 home games that year and found that while plenty of players were receiving alert bangs, 7 of the 9 in the starting lineup around 18%, Jose Altuve only had alert bangs on 2.8% of pitches.

Has anyone compared the bang % with offspeed %? Maybe Altuve was just getting more fastballs? If not, certainly gives a shitload of merit to the buzzer accusation.

 

I'm just confused as to why only Altuve would be wearing a buzzer.

What do you mean? I thought the bangs were to alert if they were offspeed...

In Manfred's report it said "one or two bangs corresponded to certain offspeed pitches, while no bang corresponded to a fastball." They were mostly taking the offspeed pitches they knew were coming, because more often than not those pitches end up being balls. And then they were teeing up on the fastballs.

Right, what I'm trying to figure out is the total % of offspeed pitches faced vs. the % of pitches with banging to see if they always banged or just chilled out some games.
