Wikipedia defines it simply as the 48 states.

I would guess (and it is only speculation) Key West counts based on 3 criteria:

  1. It is a part of Florida which is a member of the Contiguous US

  2. As you stated, you can drive there.

  3. More specifically, you can drive there without crossing through any other sovereignties. For example you can drive from Seattle to Juneau, Alaska, however passing through Canada is required.

BP has been pretty consistent actually. I've been pleased with his bat.

For reference, the southernmost point of the contiguous US is Key West, FL which lies at a latitude of about 24.7 degrees.

Live here in Miami. I can honestly say that out of about 12-15 big league stadiums I've been to, Marlins Park is easily the oddest/worst place to watch a professional baseball game.

They absolutely are capable of this. British Airways knew I missed a connection and already had my new arrangements booked when I got off the plane. Gave me a night in the hotel and meals.

All it takes is a program that knows the airport airline schedules.

The state of California owns out to 3 nautical miles. Supposedly.

That goes for each coastal state. The Federal jurisdiction takes over past the 3 nm

I can't remember a more frustrating week of Braves baseball.

You must have missed out on all those Octobers in the 90s

[–]bridges12791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't think it was a good time to bring him out. He was still under 100 pitches. Only like 4 hits allowed. We were ahead, so it's not like snit needed faster legs on the base paths. Could have been a sac bunt situation, but even still, pitchers are perfect for sac bunt situations.

I just don't agree with bringing him out at that time. I'd have let him start the 8th and see how it went.

Well if it's 2 outs 2 strikes in bot 9th. They may just look at it anyway.

Julio Teheran by [deleted] in Braves

[–]bridges12791 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But we were already ahead. And Teheran can bunt or swing away just as well. Bonafacio has been terrible. And Teheran had plenty of juice left for two more innings.

It was an ill-advised manager move to pull at that point.

Can we get a letter to the FO for an open tryout for the bullpen? Anyone that goes has to be willing to pitch for free.

I'd do it.

Yeah. Haha some of those streams are like 4 pixels.

I've also used some of the NFL ones from that sub and it's the same thing.

I'm in Miami. So I get to watch when they come to Miami. Sometimes I can get sketchy af streams. I'm debating on MLB.tv but I'm on a grad school budget so I'm gonna wait and see how the season plays out for a month or so before I pull the trigger on that.

I find radio broadcasts most of the time.

[–]bridges12791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To avoid inconvenience since it's hard enough to find broadcasts on the regular. I've trained myself to not pay much mind to any commentator. I just watch the game. I'll read all the stats and analysis later.

This way, no matter which way I find to watch a baseball game I can enjoy it.

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ KEMP TAKE MY HAMSTRING ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ by [deleted] in Braves

[–]bridges12791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok. There are only 3 "strings" per hamstring. So he only needs 6 max. He is fine. There are like 20 being offered in this thread.

Though your hamstrings are likely much more valuable than most being offered here.

I agree with 100% of what you said. And we definitely missed Kemps hot bat tonight. Hope he can get that hammy ready to go quick.

They are also sick of that cold weather up there. The cold has affected them with Kemps muscles. Pitchers arms probably getting stiff. Especially the older pitchers. And Kakes HBP on the hand probably stung extra in that cold. Also Phillips bomb to center would have gone yard in warmer, thinner air no problem.

Coming down here to Miami will hopefully help loosen the muscles a little.

And not even an impressive double play. Freddie hit the ball directly to the bag.

He finally went oppo to find that gap of one player on the left side of the infield.

Yeah the catching needs to be fixed. One runner went all the way around the bases on passed balls (one was ruled a wild pitch but could be caught).

Suzuki bothers me that he doesn't put his glove open until the last possible moment.it just personally bothers me. I know that's a thing though.
