So if you have the apple TV app, do you just need to sign in and watch or do you actually have to have an apple tv subscription? I'll never buy an apple TV subscription ever, so just checking.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2022)
John_Havok replied to Grant77's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I was kicking around an idea of stats last night and ... hard hit and exit velocity are great and all, but if youre not contacting enough baseballs overall, what good is it? LIke, if Im starting from the ground up on a hitter and want to prioritize skills.... my first skill wanted would be contact rate. If the skill we want in our pitchers is the ability to miss bats, then logically, the skill we want in our hitter is the ability to not miss balls. So, Skill 1 - contact. Then what... barrel rate? Exit velocity? Swing decisions? Swing path? Which of those would be prioritized and to what level does one have to be higher to overcome a failure in the others? Would swing decisions be the second most important right after contact? Im thinking out loud here... 1. Contact 2. Swing Decisions 3. Barrel Rate 4. avg exit velo what am i missing in this list that would be really important -
Ive never watched on Apple, but the Youtube ones.... i turn the audio off because the commentary, while attempting to be more current with more modern stats, still sucks a huge amount of ass.

Treliving has done a pretty excellent job in the offseason. Replaced Johnny and Tkachuk with Huberdeau and Kadri ... and got a damn fine defenseman plus a prospect and pick out of Florida. really well done
-
Yes

Near sighted gynocologist

Eat a dick ya uphill gardening troglodytic bike! They made a series now about A League of Their Own, might check it out if it doesn’t end up being a woke-fest.
-
I’m think Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own would be pretty close. “I especially liked that move in the 5th inning where you scratched your balls for an hour.” “Well anything worth doin is worth doin right”
-
Disagree completely on the Merrifield/Biggio comparison. It’s not even close defensively
-
Meh, I’m mostly just trolling, I just wonder if they’d still be doing it if they were down by 7 instead of up by 7. Like, if it’s soooo important to get work on a regular schedule, why not use him yesterday in a 6-1 game? If the answer to the first question is no, then …. waiting another day isn’t a big deal
-
Oh no! 5 days? Is he going to wither and die if he waits one more day? Is he going to forget how to pitch suddenly if he doesn’t get into a game tonight and just start throwing knuckleballs because…omg what does he do if he doesn’t get in to THIS game?
-
, K Romano does not need to be throwing in this game…that’s just stupid. Gotta love Shulman trying his best not to roast Schneider for having him up and throwing when what he really wants to say is “wtf are you doing?”
-
It’s not that he doesn’t trust it, he can’t actually command it. It’s 50/50 if it’s right down the middle or not.
-
Meh, he faced one guy, it’s not like he won’t be available tomorrow if needed.
-
Abreu looks like Kikuchi out there with his body language. Not confident at all.
-
Man, if Gurriel can somehow get his power stroke back…he might actually be dangerous again.
-
Lol, that’s on the 2b, not Donaldson, that throw was very catchable
-
This is okay, limit the damage to 2 runs and it's all good.
-
10 pitches, 8 strikes - that's how you do this pitching thing.
-
Alrighty Berrios, dont give anything back now, just a nice clean inning.
-
That'll do nicely
-
This team bails out so many pitchers by swinging at garbage pitches...
-
attaboy Vlad. Take the 2-0 centre cut meatball and then wave at the slider near the others batters box for a grounder to the pitcher. Great decision making.
-
Yeah guys like him i think it's better to go out before the true decline. Wayne was pretty beat up later in his career and you just knew he didn't have the "elite" left in him. Sure, he could still go through the motions and probably still be average to above average, but... to a guy like him, being average to above average was like being 50% of himself.

Zimmer is exactly the kind of player Tampa would sign and he'd magically turn into a 5 WAR/650 guy for half a season, then some other team would trade them some prospects nobody had heard of at the dealine, he'd promptly turn back into a pumpkin and the prospects would be the next Franco and McClanahan.
