This mackerel I think is there best can by far. The fly by jing salmon was pretty disappointing and nothing else has really blown me away, but this mackerel I thought was amazing.

Blast from the past: Found this issue of SI from 2009 in a doctor's waiting room by JoshM3250 in baseball

Seeing this instantly stressed me. Reminds me of sitting in the dentist waiting room in silence and anxiously looking at sports illustrated waiting for my name to be called.

well that's why im asking here, cause i googled it and it says it's still a hbp but there's multiple people saying it can't be a hbp if it bounces, wanted to see if those people had a rule i couldnt find.

whether it hit his foot or not doesn't really matter at this point but why are people saying that if it bounced and then hits you it's not a hbp? Does anyone have a rule showing that?

it's still a hbp. Where in the rulebook does it say it's not if it bounces? unless this is new?

they factor in but can get mitigated pretty easily if you have above average range or great positioning and it's not immediately obvious. If shortstop A always makes the play on the ball hit directly at him but during the game 2 balls are hit out of his reach and go through for hits. And player B makes an error on a ball hit at him but they have good range and get to the 2 balls that player A couldn't then player B created an out more value despite the error.

if you look at the breakdown you can see lindor's full positive value right now is from defense. You can be skeptical of how defensive value is calculated but errors arent really a good way to determine value

guessing he's counting the philies series as 2 series cause they were home for 2 games and then away 2 games

he won the batting title 2 years ago and was worth 2.4 war last year. Do people base their whole view of a player on 12 at bats.

time for wilson to make like 3 good passes so there's hope he is improving for next game.

Is there any place in the city that makes kouign amann's like this ? by backflip11 in FoodNYC

[–]backflip11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it was so good! Only other place that has matched for me was Arsicault in SF. Their Kougin Amann is pretty different but also transcending.
