I also went back and checked a few plays (checked about 50 actually 2024/2025) and found only 3 similar balls hit to Ernie - he made 2 didn't make one (great diving grab to his right and got the ball to 1st but a runner was safe) - I didn't account for other variables like hit distance, exit velo and batter/runner speed. Don't think we lose with him playing 3rd
jmomcc Verified Member Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 Clement i think doesn't have an amazing arm but has very quick smooth actions.
Stangstag Old-Timey Member Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 24 minutes ago, max silver said: The bullpen is certainly a concern at the moment, but I think a large part of this is just unfortunate timing of all of the leverage arms slumping at the same time. There is too much talent in the pen for this level of struggles to continue for the rest of the season as a whole but it’s absolutely a massive concern in the short term. This kind of reminds me of the excessive level of doom posting in April with the offense when a nearly team wide slump led to some awful offensive numbers over the first month of the season before they collectively reversed their fortunes over the next 4 months. Its not too different from the Yankees bullpen struggles immediately after the deadline. Good arms will turn it around. Just gotta hope the slump doesn’t last for another couple weeks. max silver 1
jmomcc Verified Member Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 Varland's sinker grades out as good as his fastball and he seems to be better at locating it in a smaller sample. Maybe reduce 4 seam and increase sinker? Try to get the fastball up, sinker down, and knuckle curve down.

We discuss that you're the bird every year. It still may be a s*** turd for the next decade. Still has nothing to do with what I said about the next month and nor have you said a damn thing about that. Spanky__99 1

The last time I got into a physical altercation was with a package thief who tried to steal my box of bounty paper towels two years ago. It wasn't much of an altercation because he was just trying to get back into his getaway car with his buddy but I sprained my ankle and that s*** wouldn't stop hurting for 6 months. In my defense I did have slippers on. I ain't fighting these days unless I'm protecting my life my family or my property and even then, I'm not fighting over bounty paper towels anymore. Spanky__99 1

This is Liberal Canada, you are not allowed to defend yourself. If threatened, just curl up into a ball and pray to Allah. These are Canadian values BB17, Stangstag, Spanky__99 and 1 other 1 3

jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted August 30, 2025 Posted August 30, 2025 Should erect a statue of Spanky at the northwest corner of Yonge and Bloor. If they can spend tax payers dollars renaming Dundas Square to Sankofa Square, I'm sure there are enough funds in the city budget for this project.

Texas of Canada There's virtually no difference in the self defense laws in Alberta vs any other province given that section 34 of the criminal code is federal.
