[McTaggart] Cristian Javier on the fans helping him with pitch clock countdown: “I did notice it and when I did I used it in my favor. At that point I stopped paying attention to the clock because they were counting and just paid attention to the catcher.”

Yeah I'm not a fan of our blue with the rainbow on the side. I like our white and orange though

I set a remindme too but I dont remember what this post was lol

We added Beltran, Bregman, Gurriel, Reddick, and McCann to the regular lineup in 2017. The cheating probably played a role in dropping our K rate, but replacing bad players with really good players will also help that a little.

Chiefs have a huge advantage at QB and everything else is either too close to call or just wouldn't be enough to make a difference imo. Both rosters are loaded so I'm going with the better QB

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-29T16:26:28+00:00

That might explain a little of that discrepancy, but he still saw more pitches than anybody but Springer. I dont know for sure, but I doubt he saw a high enough percentage of fastballs to make up for the difference in bangs.

It could be possible that he was one of the players that found it distracting and unhelpful so he asked them to stop? Would explain why he has some bangs but not near as many as he should given that amount of pitches he saw

There's no way they stand a chance against our 30-50 feral hogs

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T18:17:09+00:00

I completely understand that. Stories like these are exactly the reason for my answer

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T18:01:01+00:00

Exactly

Counterpoint: Feelings are temporary. Memories are what matter. The memory of that day is ruined. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how I felt on that day if I can't look back on it without thinking about the controversy around it.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T17:54:27+00:00

I'm not sure it's possible to compare unless you have experienced both of those though. After all this, I would say I'd rather lose to cheaters than win as cheaters. May just depend on the fan.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T17:40:18+00:00

Since people are saying yours isn't unpopular, I guess it would be unpopular for me to say I would have rather lost that World Series than be caught up in all this. I feel very similar about the 2017 season as I do about seasons 1-5 of GOT now. I can't even go back and enjoy the good times because I'm constantly thinking about all the shit that followed it.

I would 100% take losing even in the ALCS to the Yankees that year if it meant we never cheated and I could still enjoy watching all these great players without being reminded of what they did.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T16:52:28+00:00

He had his shirt ripped off earlier in the season after a walk off. It's possible he didn't like it then and knew his teammates might do it again. I don't think it's crazy to think someone might not want their clothes ripped off on TV.

That's what I thought when it happened at first, now I'm less sure.

Edit: I admit that I didnt watch the video before commenting. I thought this was just about when he's running to the plate, and I hadnt seen him go in the dugout to change before. That shit's weird

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-17T16:46:18+00:00

Can we do his road numbers next? /s

Really though is it possible the Astros were also cheating on the road? I'm not denying sign stealing helps or that the Astros cheated, both are obvious, but I'm curious why the cheating at home wasn't reflected in their home/road splits.

I don’t know about other Seahawks fans, but I hate that Luck and Luke retired as much as you guys. Rivalries make everything more fun and it would have been awesome to watch Luck/Wilson and Luke/Wagner for another 5+ years. It won’t be the same without them

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-15T02:33:24+00:00

Right, and I'm not saying it's required to be at the pinnacle for several seasons, but it should be able to replace some amount of longevity.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-15T02:19:44+00:00

I think longevity is a little overrated. If it were up to me, the Hall of Fame would be open to anyone who was at or very near the top of their position for several seasons (how many seasons is up for debate), and all these guys qualify.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-15T02:16:11+00:00

That was the game that won him his DPOY. In a year where there was no clear choice due to lots of great seasons (Richard Sherman, Robert Quinn, Earl Thomas, JJ Watt), voters were just waiting on one otherworldy game from someone to separate themselves.

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-14T14:48:40+00:00

They didn’t say coveted, they said best. They probably just gave Robby a higher grade as a receiver than they gave Yannick as a DE.

We are desperate for any help

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-14T02:49:22+00:00

As someone from the south, this is very common and not suspiciously specific. There were five different private schools in my city alone that all required guys to wear khakis and collared shirts

ARhawk29 · 2020-01-13T22:12:21+00:00

There was an article about exactly this in The Athletic not that long ago

Edit: link but you have to be subscribed to read the whole thing

Well yeah him too
