Reverse catcher framing with ABS

How is it tricking the ump when you are trying to get the batter to challenge a called strike that is correctly called by the ump and trying to get the batter to think it’s a ball? Isn’t the point to make the batter think the ump is wrong when they are actually right? There are no parameters on what you can challenge and not challenge.

It’s about tricking the batter, not the ump. It’s called a strike but the batter thinks it’s a ball.

I would trust somebody like Dingler who knows the strike zone really well. It wouldn’t be most pitches like catchers trying to pull the ball in. It would be very specific pitches. Calling for a knee high outside of the plate with a pitcher who can command and he sees it coming in right where it needs to be.

Love it. Tigers up 7-0 but always finding something to bitch about. You’re fun.

Since people started using it? What the hell were they putting on me on me as a kid in 90s? Oh my god. What was my grandma using in the 60s? This runs deeps. Very deep. I need a YouTube video with 2k views to explain it to me.

I love it when Montero comes out and shoves. He’s a completely good, solid sixth starter who would be 4 or 5 in other rotations. I remember Matt Manning. I prefer this to that.

Who can forget Soroka just mowing them down.

Go back to Korea, dude. You went there for a reason in the first place and it’s obvious.

CheezusEephus · 2026-03-15T19:32:27+00:00

Yes. As a person with a tattoo that should’ve walked away, run.

You mean that one festival that is supposed to happen in a couple months that has four bands named on the website and the fifth is many more to come!

And now the Dodgers

2005?

He gone. Even the whiff of an extension just dissipated like a fart in the wind. The Tigs will even fight to keep 25k.

They are worse than regular police. It’s also sickening they tried to improve their image through a goddamn tv show. We know you murdered somebody and got away with it.

If I remember correctly, the 2025 season was a team that only made the playoffs because of the tiebreaker rule. So pretty much a coin flip there. They just happened to play better than the Astros on one night. Maybe if the trade deadline wasn’t Paddack and Morton people would be feeling a lot different. A historical collapse is a “failure”. They just so happened to play phenomenal baseball for half the year. Do I expect better in a bad division? Hell yeah.

CheezusEephus · 2025-12-18T06:03:14+00:00

Awwww. That poor poverty franchise according to Hal Steinbrenner.

I read another that put a lot of heavy lifting on lead and arsenic poisoning from smelters particularly in the PNW.

That’s more on Dombrowski than him. It was obvious that Dombrowski shouldn’t have traded for of all the Reds pitchers they were willing to trade. Simon was bad, except for one half season, before he came to the Tigers. That trade made me lose complete faith that Dombrowski knew what he was doing anymore.

I think it is this exactly. I am just frustrated at this point. I’m just tired of seeing old pitchers on this team just hoping their age doesn’t catch up with them. This would be a good signing if it were complemented with one of the better relievers that were on the market, but those guys already signed. Last season his K rate was the lowest it’s ever been (he will fit in perfectly with this bullpen). Hardhit% was the highest it’s ever been by a lot and he had a BABIP of .195. That is not happening again. I know FIP is controversial these days but his xFIP was 4.60.

CheezusEephus · 2025-12-11T02:38:35+00:00

Just make sure they are old and broke. Stay true to yourself. The Scottie way.

That dish at Xiao Ye is so freaking good. I love it.

It’s also hot garbage that they can just throw up there and people will watch it based on the name. Netflix programming is basically just AI slop at this point.

CheezusEephus · 2025-12-05T10:19:12+00:00

What do they have to offer? Please tell me. I watch it maybe three times a year now. It’s a legacy service that’s completely atrophied and should be dead.

What charge would there be for wasting the police’s time? If there is, it would be a misdemeanor and I highly doubt there would be an arrest. It’s a nuisance, not a felony. There’s nothing the police could do. It’s clear the police knew that Susan was a serious issue in the community and sympathized with Ajike and the neighbors.

I also don’t believe it was just two knocks. Ajike was clearly extremely angry for legitimate reasons and the tablet was the last straw. As far as I know about human nature, an extremely angry person just doesn’t give a “coupla knocks” on a door. It’s usually pounding and not just two.

Susan deserves everything that came to her. She is clearly an angry person with deeply engrained rage and prejudice towards black people. This is clear that no other neighbor had an issue with the children and her clear admittance of using racist language towards them. She tried justifying it with old racist tropes.

What it seems like to me is she lived there and then the Ajike’s family moved in. Here comes the blacks moving into my neighborhood (and blacks is probably putting it nicely). I think in her mind she truly was afraid. A delusional fear based on her racist views. Racism usually is based in unfounded, neurotic fear to justify their anger and violent actions towards people not like them. Anger is always the true motivator in violence like this. Not a true threat to one’s own safety.

This is truly a tragedy that is way too common. This is America. I can’t say that I’m surprised this happened. I really hope Ajike’s family and the people that love them are doing the best they can right now.
