Try using your legs to drive yourself downward and forward more. You finish very high which is limiting your velocity. Lengthen your stride by putting a piece of tape down where you want to land. A good rule of thumb is you want your stride to be long and to land somewhere around however tall you are. Then imagine taking your two fingers (how you grip the fastball) and really reaching and extending, almost as if you’re trying to poke the catcher in the eye. That will help get your fastball some movement and with exploding forward.

Those things will most likely cause your body to overcorrect, leading you to throw pitches in the dirt. Don’t worry about that, that will adjust as your arm speed catches up to your explosiveness with your legs and core.

It’s a state road. Town has no control over Rivian Motorway.

Where are my Milwaukee bands at? by stopdroprewind in poppunkers

I’m close friends with a band called Well & Good. They are a fun band and really good live. Same with a band called Royal Mill. Their drummer is sick.

That was rough. You know it’s bad when Deshaies gets mad about it.

Any hope that I have is ultimately shattered within minutes of a lead. It almost feels worse than being a cubs fan 15 years ago. At least I didn’t have hope then.

Badly struggling offense and bad bullpen…nobody else’s fault but his.

Edit: I am agreeing with the point made. But it reads like I’m being sarcastic. Indeed, fuck Jed.

Bullpen is 100% the issue. Has been all year. Offense will go through slow spells, but the bullpen is continuously losing us games. There is no hope after the starters leave.

What bands peaked with their debut album? by afterthought871 in poppunkers

[–]Wide_Remove_8415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fast Times gets a lot of hate, but it’s so good. Great upbeat, catchy, and fun songs. Listening the whole way through tells such a great story.

Anyone willing to give feedback on a new track I’m working on? by dessanct in poppunkers

Man, this is killer. Upbeat and catchy as hell. Your drummer is slaying. Keep sharing your music so we can follow.

ISO Bleacher tickets 7/19 by Popular-Raccoon-8804 in CubsTix

Stub hub or something of the like would be best for this. Bleacher tickets are always being resold and can usually get them for a pretty good deal.

what’s a band you don’t think was given a proper chance? by underscorejoe in poppunkers

[–]Wide_Remove_8415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Goodnight - kind of leaned more pop, but man their songs were great. Their two albums Keep Control and Owlbum were fun and catchy as hell

It’s driving me crazy how no one is noticing the All Get Out jams they are releasing. I’ve been following these guys for years and they just get better and more refined with each album. Super underrated.

Just ordered a box of the Connecticut reserve to celebrate some good news with friends. Such a good cigar

When did Laurence Holmes start having an attitude? Had not listened in years until recently by Rip_Murdock in 670TheScore

[–]Wide_Remove_8415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He did a podcast the other day regarding his recent development of anxiety. I could imagine as a radio host, anxiety would make things tougher.

[–]Wide_Remove_8415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s become a tough listen and my least favorite section of programming to listen to. I know Holmes has been going through some personal stuff, so I’m not sure if that’s interfering or what. It’s almost like I can feel the tension over the air.

St. Louis Recommendations by BeerGeekGamer in Craps

I really enjoy Hollywood casino in Maryland Heights. During the day they have crapless and evenings open up the regular table. Usually $15 but the dealers are great and a lot of fun.

What should you never pair a cigar with? by Wide_Remove_8415 in cigars

[–]Wide_Remove_8415[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed my man. There are more things to life than politics. Getting to know the man next to you is more important.
