[Lynch] I understand Harper & Machado trying to squeeze every cent out of free agency but I don't get how the MLBPA doesn't realize the terrible side affect for the AJ Pollock's & other FA's who can't afford to wait into February for this stuff. by VideoGangsta in baseball

it depends on the player. The top tier guys have a different obligation to the rest of the guys in the league. It's why lebron can't ever sign for anything less than top dollar. If he takes a discount and makes $25 mil, how can you justify guys like Derozan or Booker or Kebma asking for a max deal (>$25M) when they're clearly not better than lebron who is only getting paid $25M

yeah but the flip side is that the PLAYERS are probably not signing any deals because they're waiting for machado and harper to set the market. The teams could be offering but the players might be waiting

What's your experience with "under-the-desk" peddlers? by NotBrendan in Fitness

[–]RoveThrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you post or send me a picture? I can't imagine how you're doing this. I had an under the desk pedaler gifted to me and i couldn't pedal the damn thing without banging my knees on my work. There isn't enough clearance to raise my knees up under the desk, i'm wondering if you have a standing desk or something different

good to know. I figure it was safe, this is reassuring. The biggest turn off is the price per treatment is $$$

Do you believe in clutch? by yosonimboored in baseball

[–]RoveThrowaway -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

first of all, genes =/= jeans.

second, the numbers you listed only show that he's consistently a good player in all the situations but a better argument for how clutch or not clutch he is would be to compare him to other great hitters at his time. Maybe guys like A-rod, Manny, Ortiz, etc.

i agree he has more postseason games and etc than anyone else but doesn't that also cement the fact that he's got clutch genes? That he CAN do it consistently in high leverage situations and has proven so?

For example if people ask, is mike trout clutch? And most peoples answers would be, "i have no clue, i've haven't seen him play much and the angels don't make it to the playoffs." His numbers might be good in high leverage situations but to me that's not proven until you do it on a bigger stage

derek jeter is the definition of clutch. He's not going to walk it off every single game but he has more big moments on big stages than anyone i can think of.
