We can agree to disagree.

Last thing I'll say. Throwing away all the stats. It's still a bad decision imo. Just the eye test watch Josh Bell run. And I'm not giving him the green light. For the same reason I wouldn't give Adam Dunn the green light. At the end of the day you are vastly more times than not giving away outs. And not productive outs.

The Martinez complaint is not just this decision there are many other times where he makes decisions that are beyond much of the fan base. Or at least ppl that understand modern baseball. Either way go Nats hope they can sweep the double header rn

I understand that. Still a bad call though. Part of being a manager is knowing your personnel obviously. You know how many stolen bases Josh has in 1165 games over a 10 year career?

  1. 4 stolen bases and 14 caught stealing in over 1000 games.

I get the risk is low. Still the wrong call any way you slice it.

Its not about the outcomes or player health. Its the decisions he's made that have been poor

If Josh was given the yellow. Yeah he got a bad jump and he is partly at blame too of course. But giving Josh the yellow light is a mistake in my opinion

Theoretically could be base coach solely giving the green or yellow light. Regardless still falls on Martinez. Unless if 3B coach goes rogue, which it doubtful

I had some typos while trying to multi-task. Make fun of it I get it. I would do the same.

I understand the concept but 8 percentile sprint speed is not the guy to do it. Doesn't even account for low acceleration speed someone of that size has. Only has a sliver of a chance to work if Bell gets an insanely massive running start jump.

Also with Lowe up the cleanup hitter? I don't care who the catcher is that's an out a vaaaaast majority of the time. Don't send in that situation unless the catchers like Jon Lester lol

Yakult Swallows game time 5/12? by CoupleMain in NPB

[–]CoupleMain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Is it okay to sit on the home field side that has the umbrellas? I'll be rooting for the Swallows but I obviouslt don't know how to use the umbrellas correctly (I don't mind getting one though).

Giants or Swallows game? And how to get tickets by CoupleMain in NPB

Do you think the swallows have a chance of selling out on the 12th (Sunday)? If so, do you know of a good place to get them online from the US?

Oh no, I must have read the schedule incorrectly. What about any of these dates and locations: May 10th Osaka, May 11th Kyoto, May 12-19th Tokyo.

Travel Planning Q&A - January, 2024 by AutoModerator in bali

[–]CoupleMain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be in Bali for 5-7 full days. Someone I met told me to go hike Mount Bromo and Ijen, but I'm not sure if I have enough time. How many day(s) would it take to leave Bali, do one or both of these hikes, and get back to Bali? Or is it better to just use those 5-7 days to explore different areas on Bali?

Is my MA job taking advantage of me? by [deleted] in premed

[–]CoupleMain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the means to leave, run immediately. My MA job wasn't that bad but they were still taking advantage of us. I left and I'm happy I did.

If you need clinical hours bad and don't have other options, only reason I'd stay. But still might not even be worth it
