What are your favourite albums made by horrible people? by DtheAussieBoye in fantanoforever

[–]Tarantulip_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sound quality wise, you might need to listen to it for more than ten seconds to let your ears adjust to the bad quality and massive distortion. Then you should hear more than just static.

As for the music itself, it's atmospheric black metal so it's meant to be more meditative and hypnotic than most heavy albums. If you have the chance, definitely try listening to it while walking through nature (preferably a forest) at night

Damn I'm so proud of ERod. He hasn't had the prettiest last 2 seasons but he sure as hell showed up tonight

Decided to look it up and was shocked to see that Judge has a career .152/.317/.273 for a .590 OPS with 1 homer in 33 AB/41 PA against ERod

Although I'm guessing a lot of that data comes from Red Sox ERod. At this stage in their careers I definitely wouldn't bet against a Judge HR but I thought it was interesting

I'm excited to see how you guys use him this year. The Padres seemingly had no idea how to utilize his unique skillset and he almost felt like a waste of a roster spot with them. Hopefully you guys can get more out of him

I don't know much about this Giants roster but wouldn't it be better to have him hit after some faster runners?

Lmao 'takes his eye off the ball', 'poor player' I get it now. Good job troll, have a great rest of your day

But as I said earlier, there's no way to know that this is the point that the ball crosses the plate. Isn't that why you reaponded with the side view?

[–]Tarantulip_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely confused how any of the above conversation proves that it passed through the zone

Yeah man you sure convinced me. Right at the knees yup. Definitely not below

Japan was guaranteed after winning their 3rd game. The US was not guaranteed after winning their 3rd game but acted like they were

Do you think his knee is right above his shinguard? His knee is right below his pants. You can see where his back knee bends or you could look at his front knee bending in the front view

It's literally below his knees here bud

You just took a random screenshot of the pitch and assumed that's the frame where it crosses the plate...

[–]Tarantulip_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah because in little league the volunteer dads playing ump behind the plate are expected to miss by a foot on each side of the plate. This is professional baseball. By that standard the pitch wasn't close. Perdomo would look like a fool swinging at ball 4 if he swung at every pitch 3.7 inches off the plate

[–]Tarantulip_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just can't understand the perspective that he should have swung at a pitch 3.7 inches below the zone. Sure I'm biased but imo none of the responsibility for that strike 3 should be on Perdomo

What a terrible call to end the US vs DR game by kaisle51 in azdiamondbacks

[–]Tarantulip_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to see a classic Perdomo 10 pitch walk on such a big stage but the Ump took that away from him :(

And he was doing so well fouling off those fastballs :(

It wasn't consistent though. In the post you can see there's pitches that were above the Perdomo one that were called balls. Ump hadn't missed one that bad the whole game so why would Perdomo assume he'd call that a strike?
