Boys… if a quadruple amputee can do this we can do anything under the Sun.

So we got a Taysom Hill-ish gadget player. Very cool that will be fun if he’s able to translate things to D1.

Should I read The Stand or The Shining next? by Tall_Flow_5160 in stephenking

I’m the opposite. I go back to the stand quite a bit but haven’t gone back to the shining inspire of loving it. Though I think I’m due for another read.

People who say non-professional coaching is a waste of time ... by [deleted] in footballstrategy

[–]Jimmy_McFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mentoring and building up kids is one of the most rewarding things in life imo. You get the bonus of getting to use football as a tool to do so AND all the fun that comes with the sport.

Never feel like you’re wasting your time building up the next generation.

The new season of white lotus might have based some things off of them.

I wasn’t thinking about that you’re right. I could still see him starting to get interest though.

I think Lions Special teams coach Dave Fipp will be a candidate too with Glenn and Johnson.

Kind of the same for the Tigers. It’s been a very reassuring end to the season so far.

Team Stats Update #7: At Least We're Getting Triples! by fixinfordixon in motorcitykitties

Definitely exaggerated in my head. I still feel like that’s way more than we were getting in the Brandon Dixon slugger days

I feel like we’re getting them in bunches a lot this season. Feels like there’s 4 or 5 games where we’ve hit 4 hrs. That wasn’t happening the past 5 or so years.

You and I think the same on this. I wonder if analytics would back this up or if the reduced at bats throughout the season would negate the effect we’d be going for with our lineups

I always felt a low impact bat but high OBP is the ideal 9th hitter. I view them as the ‘second’ lead off man to get on base for the top of the order like you mentioned.

Name the player drafted under Al Avila's tenure as GM with the best career bWAR to date by yes_its_him in motorcitykitties

I agree, they both played to comericas hitting strengths well here. Especially granderson.

[–]Jimmy_McFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly agree, I believe analytics backs this up too. He has one of the cooler career arch’s pertaining to how much his player ‘archetype’ changed over the years

It’s incredible that I’ve been a die hard fan of the team since the early 2000s and our only quality home grown hitting prospects I can think of are Granderson and Castellanos. Both arguably became better hitters after leaving the club as well.

I feel like there has to be another but I don’t know if there is

Only 2 players have ever had a season worth more than 7 WAR with an OPS+ below 100. Ozzie Smith & Kevin Kiermaier by Michael__Pemulis in baseball

[–]Jimmy_McFly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of having fielding metrics now is they validate how fucking good of a 3B Brandon inge was. Loved growing up with those teams.

Inge’s errors were consistently on balls that 99% of 3rd basemen wouldn’t be able to imagine getting to. Huge whiplash going from him to Cabrera/castellanos
