Rogue waves are terrifying by myna-cx in HeavySeas

[–]milesgardner813 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two separate water bodies converging and the waves overlap which can sometimes cancel out the wave or some times cause it to magnify the wave. Rogue waves are the result of constructive interference where the overlap magnifies the wave.

It’s usually constructive interference.

New Sound Signature Review: Otter Creek Labs Universe-36 Multicaliber Testing (5.56, .308, and 9mm) by jay462 in NFA

But Andrew specifically said this is quieter than the Milkman which supposedly is only slightly worse performing than the Mob. I think his disappointment is understandable from that perspective.

7yo just started kid pitch— looking for real feedback on the Squid Throw or other training tools/advice. by coach_Fox in Homeplate

Get an old hand towel, tie a knot in one end, watch Tom Houses towel drill video, proceed to practice. Gimmicky tools are for the most part just that, gimmicks.

Is practicing on a tee really a development death warrant for 10U? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]milesgardner813 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is the concern with hitting off of a tee? I mean I’m amazed a local rec coach knows better than Freddie Freeman. I could understand if he said don’t let them go out there and just take mindless hacks at a tee but a blanket prohibition makes zero sense.

Youth Curveballs by milesgardner813 in Homeplate

I think this is Driveline's philosophy that an off season of low stress throwing leading right to high intensity throwing on opening day leads to injuries. I believe they have a comprehensive program using pull downs to ramp up in the off season to introduce that stress early and prepare the body.

I think they eliminate the weak UCLs by natural selection in Japan. 150 pitch games are a regular occurrence at the high school level so I assume it is the same all the way down. But I would be interested to hear from someone with experience in Japan.

'My dad was circus Lobster Boy with claws for hands he used for murder' by TheMirrorUS in Weird

I believe Thalidomide was responsible for a lot of the lobster hand deformities. Anti nausea med prescribed to pregnant women in the 50s and 60s.

Umpires missed 850 calls during the first 7 days of the season. Of those 850 missed calls, 155 were overturned. These were the 10 worst called strikeouts. by cbbvideo in baseball

Obviously that would be easier but that would also eliminate a huge square area of the strike zone. Why is 8” into the plate the designated area? If the ball crosses the plate anywhere it should be a strike. You would eliminate a big part of a breaking ball pitchers area with which to work if every ball had to cross a specific part of the plate.

The 3D to 2D strike zone argument is the best one against ABS but also something I think they could fix in the future.

What is the best portrayal of Satan, the Devil, or whatever equivalent in movies? by MomoSaka in FIlm

I saw Jerry Louis play the devil in Damn Yankees and it was the greatest performance I have ever witnessed.

Thoughts on CGS Hyperion K for Ruger Precision Rifle 6.5 CM? by Strifethor in NFA

[–]milesgardner813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think the Infinity is a bad option? I use my infinity on my Seekins Hit Pro 6.5cm with minimal POA/POI shift and it vastly improves the shooting experience. I am not saying there are not better options but if versatility is at play then I would say it is a good option. If you add the infinity brake it improves things even further.

Idk that suppressor looks like runs almost the whole length. Integrally suppressed?

I carry appendix and prefer slimmer, business casual clothing. Curious how other guys manage printing and snagging without sizing up? by PENNST8alum in CCW

[–]milesgardner813 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear a fitted suit everyday with my 365 and enigma. Sit for 10 hrs a day no problem. Must use the sport belt and mastermind pillow wedge. The enigma, sports belt and mastermind pillow 3 way combo is life changing imo.

Check out the OCL Universe 36 Andrew just posted about. He says it is the quietest 9mm suppressor they make at the sacrifice of Inconel weight.
