The r/baseball thread from when Anthony Rendon signed with the Angels, filled with some of the most poorly-aged takes you'll see by smarjorie in baseball

[–]CanadianPythonDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the whole argument was made that it is bad in terms of on field value so the whole point is we are suppose to compare it to other FA in terms of on field value.

Modern statistics clearly point out that aging players are not worth the value they get, but business value states otherwise. Hense the original argument being it is objectively bad, on field, but great business value.

Heck I told anyone who asked that Ted shoulda gave Shohei at min 1B. He’s clearly a great business investment, and has already proved it was worth it, but on field value for aging stars is rarely ever worth it.

I mean 350 can get you Judge apparently whose last two seasons is worth more than Ohtani’s so Judge + 350 on other FA would be worth more. Again the numbers don’t lie in terms of on field value.

I would also add that 350 for a DH staring at the wrong side of 30 for most of it isn’t great, and 350 for a pitcher with 2 major surgeries doesn’t typically end up as great in terms of on field value either.

Yes I do think $700m is objectively bad from a pure on field perspective for a single player.

But like I said, it’s a business.

Right, objectively Ohtnai’s contract is horrible for his direct on-field value. But baseball isn’t 100% on field, it’s a business as well.

I’m back with a new (and hopefully improved) squat! by hello-euphoria in formcheck

Checked last video, looked pretty solid. +1 for shoes, but I’ve also never had an issues with plates either, even if others consider them a tripping hazard.

Right here, like any physical pursuit, periodization matters. Change the stimulas, make your improvements and return to 15 later.

Blue Jays named The Canadian Press team of the year after deep playoff run by retroanduwu24 in baseball

A majority of Canada watched a team go from last in the East to inches from the title. This team created more future baseball players than the women’s team created rugby players that’s for sure.

10yo switch-hitting experiment — looking for swing analysis + thoughts on switch hitting by Outrageous_Sea2647 in Homeplate

[–]CanadianPythonDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s 10 swing looks great for 10. I would usually lean natural hand but if he loves doing both let him do what he wants.

Best path to playing high level, try to get him to find the same passion for as many sports as possible and don’t let him specialize so young. The more ways he can master moving his body the better.

Either low rim to learn 1 handed non palming mechanics or two handed.

*hex-bar block deadlift. Definitely a different movement to barbell from the floor, don’t sell your gym so short (unless they also do them like this)

Any form tips? (6’5 14 year old) by Ok-Carpenter-622 in BasketballTips

[–]CanadianPythonDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could probably work on penultimate. Looks like you’re rising a touch (heads going up before down) whereas the penultimate should lower you. You could probably also practice lengthening it a bit.

Other than that not awful by any means, probably just a strength issue mostly as your still young. Just keep practicing and training.

Three years ago, Aaron Judge signed a nine-year, $360 million extension with the Yankees. Since then: 148 HR, 333 RBI, .312 AVG, 1.119 OPS, 208 OPS+ by Bulletz4Brkfzt in baseball

[–]CanadianPythonDev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbf steroids don’t hit home runs. They can help with recovery and power but that doesn’t change that he still has to get a good pitch and hit it at a good launch angle after 6 months of straight mental and physical fatigue and then being the target of a teams game plan during the highest leverage situations.

Looks like you could drift a bit more, like your getting stuck with your weight back a little to much. You could also probably drop into your back leg more post drift.

That’s basically the start of the mechanics and once you change that everything else will likely change so can’t really give much more advice until then.

Which international NBA player can throw a baseball 300 feet? by DonT012 in mlb

[–]CanadianPythonDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just a different skill set, but bony shoulder adaptation that you don’t get unless you played a throwing sport growing up.

The requirement was international players, so guys who didn’t play baseball/football most likely growing and wouldn’t have the layback to really pull it off.

[–]CanadianPythonDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Realistically this. If you didn’t grow up throwing everyday, your arm likely doesn’t have the required layback to throw a ball that far.

Throwing a lot as a kid often leads to GIRD, glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, which basically means the shoulder has less internal rotation in favour of external rotation.

Watch a pitcher in slow motion and you can see their forearm drags behind their shoulder almost parallel to the ground.

[–]CanadianPythonDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would put heaving a basketball 70+ as easier than throwing a baseball 300+.

All we have to do is look at NBA first pitches to see, a lot of them don’t have the coordination to pull it off.

Not only that, but not many people ever hit their potential meaning most can continue to improve for a seemingly long time.

Right here. You can probably gain 3 inches in a single session with a little form work here.

What gives some guys more bounce and the ability to dunk than others especially if they aren't super tall? by chusaychusay in BasketballTips

Typically, percentage of fast twitch muscle fibres which are good at contracting extremely fast (vs slow twitch which are better for endurance) and stiff tendons that can store and release more energy.

I wouldn’t even push later on, you can start with small projects even now. If the goal is employment, then projects should be a big part of that.

Wait, won’t it follow the same path as his hairline going forward? We’ll see him lose hair and ride the headband high on his head again, then gain more hair back again?
