    No, I definitely expect them to be worse, just not 16 games worse.

    Huh. Sweet. Seriously though, those two need to get stoned before they throw, it would calm their pussy jitters. They're overthinking s***, letting their anxiety and fear of failure lead them to trying to aim their pitches instead of just letting 'er rip.

    There ya go, I knew we were free and clear after '14, but you had me doubting myself. You just despaired the f*** outta me for a few minutes there mang.

    Do they test for Marryjuanna in MLB? Seriously, Kyle and Ricky need to get over their mental s*** and get their minds out of the way of their natural talent.

    I thought he was a FA after this season? Faaaaaaaaaack............ I was happier in my ignorance.

    AA switched it up this time and started trying to despair him after he signed him by trashing his contract publicly. Variety is the spice of life after all.

    Wouldn't this require a huge data set to quantify with any degree of accuracy? How long have they been tracking the results of batted balls down to THAT level of detail? Would be an amazing tool for analysis if it proved to be useful in the real world upon application.

    The chips would be sewn into the material at those points. Still, your suggestion would be pretty simple to implement also, if that DID prove to be a problem. Edit: -Also, it would be pretty hard to get away with adjusting the position of the knee/belt chips as a pitch that is obviously in the strike zone would suddenly be called a ball. Would be very obvious that either the guy's cheating or the technology is malfunctioning.

    Then you have some sort of mechanism to deal with this, such as dedicated security to get between players in these situations. Just get the human error out of the actual game, any extracurricular issues to be solved after that are minor in comparison, such as this one you raised here.

    You don't think a digital signal constantly broadcasting it's exact position, in concert with all the other signal points that I outline, would be able to take this into account? I guarantee you that a web of integrated signals, broadcasting their relative positions at the speed of light, will be able to react in time to a human swinging a bat altering their relative position to the rest of the network in real time.

    Ehhhh not really. Honestly, I think it would be feasible right now, unless someone with more knowledge on the subject knows something I don't? RFID is pretty old tech at this point. It would be sweet though, eh? Man.......

    In all seriousness, not trolling or anything, I honestly think the reason you see so many lardass Hispanic players in MLB is because their cultural cuisine is so carb-heavy. It's all wheat, corn and beans. There's a reason that Mexico overtook the US recently as the most obese country, despite a GDP per capita of like only a third of the US.

    Dafuq? At first f***ing glance this f***ing list looks to be pretty f***ing f***ed. Seriously? Anyone here expect Boston to be 16 games worse, or Tigers 14 games worse for example?
  14. Smedley Butler
    I can't wait until all baseballs come with embedded RFID chips, and RFID chips delineate the edges of the plate, and RFID chips are embedded within uniforms at the knees and beltline, creating a virtual strike zone. No ump required behind the plate, guaranteed precise ball/strike calls. Maybe they could even embed them in players' shoes and gloves, and the bases, so that we don't need umpires anymore, period.

    Hopefully the scrub can keep his xFIP under 5 this season so we can get a bag of balls back for him at the deadline.
  16. Smedley Butler
    Yup. I might be able to enjoy this season if I look at it as a pre-rebuild development year. The season is 90% trade deadline-related for me, in terms of interest. The other 10% is how the young guys do.
  17. Smedley Butler
    Because as some have already pointed out to you in this thread, it would reward failure in the sense that NOT making the catch would be the right play for the defence. All other double plays reward the defence for GOOD play, not intentionally BAD play. It's not complicated, man. Stop being stubborn and just admit that you typed before you thought, stop digging. ;-)

    Plasma ain't a gas. The sun is a Z-pinch.
  19. Smedley Butler
    Can't believe you actually had to point this out. Good times.
  20. Smedley Butler
    I have yet to check Twitter in my life, period, and intend to let others continue to do so for me. ;-)
  21. Smedley Butler
    I know, it's quite............the dichotomy is it......not? I mean, despite the...........fact that this.......team........is run by morons.........and has successfully despaired me enough that........I'm not looking forward..........to the season that........much.....I still find myself checking......this board a few.......times a day. Strange.
  22. Smedley Butler
    I'm honestly shocked at just how few f***s I give about this season starting. I seriously just don't care, which is a new and strange feeling for me to have this close to April. Ridiculous how obvious this coming 5th-place 80-win season is. f***, man.......
  23. Smedley Butler
    This particular brand of rhetorical ******** consistently baffles me.
  24. Smedley Butler
    Exactly. I was raging for a second there when dude tried to make it sound like meat is what's making everyone fat. Holy dietary ignorance Batman!
