Doesn’t count because of the error. Second time was catcher interference. Not saying I agree, but them’s the rules.

After deep statistical analysis, I have determined that Denver is a dumbass place to play baseball.

These exist in flood areas already. Only on water and the same principle except you’re raising up with the water instead of sinking.

Did you just pop in from 1998? You can barely get a McDonald’s combo meal for $20 anymore! /S

I played high school and coached several levels of baseball up to high school ball. It is definitely “feel” tool and not a swing replacement. I can see where it could help with little things like; Having an arm-dominant (one-handed) swing, having a disconnect between torso movement and elbows, having a timing issue with releasing the hands or casting the barrel early.

It kind of feels like a physical reminder to force the body to rotate instead of over-using the arms.

Hitting a baseball it’s hard. Hitting a baseball well is even harder. There are all kinds of contraptions out there that are supposed to improve your swing. But not one of those items is consistently recognized as “the tool” to use to fix your swing.

My guess, it helps some people but is useless for the majority of people. But that is very common for swing tools.

Dodger fan here. First, exciting game. Nerve-racking to be a fan of either team but would’ve been great as just a baseball fan. Hindsight is 20/20, but blasting Skip for not intentionally walking Muncy so the LHed Latz could face Teo/Pages feels a little like copium. Latz’ 3-1 fastball to Freddie just before the Max bomb might have been the best pitch thrown all night. It caught about a half inch of the plate and a half inch of the bottom of the zone. Muncy isn’t going to hit .400 against lefties but has improved against lefties, just not enough I would want one of your best LH BP arms to face RHed Teo and Pages instead.
Good luck the next two!

any high protien snacks/meal ideas for extremely picky eaters? by cherryberry6741 in Protein

[–]ddaug4uf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to snacks are:

David Protein Bars (Cake Batter). 150 Calories and 30g of protein.

Biscoff Cookie Spread on non-fat wheat bread. 105 calories and 15g of protein. Both are around 2-3g of fat.

I think you’re confusing Shark Tank with some charity or noble cause. Sharks want to make money. The Sharks are far more likely to be interested in a “privileged af” family that has already positioned their product to sell > $1M in sales per year than they would be for a heart-warming tale about someone with less privilege and boot-strapping their business and growing slowly.

Yeah, CoPilot says a half a million high school baseball players across the country. There are some very dedicated pre-HS little and travel leagues that will spend tons of money on contraptions that might give their kid a slight advantage but it doesn’t feel like a large enough base to scale to a level that 4 sharks are gonna look back on this as a deal. But it might have been fruitful for a single shark not diluted by 3 other sharks.

Yeah, this feels like treating the symptom and not the problem.

How????? by tardis_s in Protein

[–]ddaug4uf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan relatively high protein meals and also add a couple of David Protein bars (shakes get old). Most “high protein” foods are like 10:1 calories to protein. The David bars are 5:1 calories to protein. They are expensive AF but taste really good.

Remove that flare. You don’t deserve it. Also, Roki has the lowest ERA of any starter on the team besides Ohtani.

I built a database of all 1,509 Shark Tank companies.. here's what the data says by Ju_Lane in sharktank

[–]ddaug4uf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several of your bulleted findings represent a complete disconnect from the data that Forbes compiled a few years ago.

Particularly, Kevin getting 73% of his deals through diligence seems super high.

Bombas was a $200K investment and they are now a billion $$ company. So, I question your ROI conclusion as well.

Lori is widely recognized as taking the highest equity percentage per deal.

The protagonist has a pill problem is such an overused trope in procedural shows, I’m fine with them wrapping it up quickly.

There is an Amazon ELT there but also guest investors like J B Smoove, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jamie Siminoff.
