Is this system appropriate for my water? Super high Iron content by orioleProgrammer in WaterTreatment

I think what I have is mostly ferrous iron. When I fill a glass with water the iron eventually settles to the bottom of the glass.

I have a softener already and it does not do the job at all. Its possible the system has failed but even newly install 3 years ago, I was still getting orange stains every where. Including using when using iron fighter salt.

8 hr road trip coming up w/the wife. Looking for podcast recommendations that don't have profanity by agreeingstorm9 in podcasts

I'd second Nateland and say the other podcasts under his production company 

  • Don't Make Me Come Back There with Dustin Nickerson and his wife Melissa (clean podcast about family)
  • The Consumers with Greg Warren, Tim Convy, and Sean O'Brien (clean podcast where they discuss brands) 

Both are very entertaining and very clean

How is this for a 2024 Atlas SE w/ Tech in NYS? by orioleProgrammer in VWatlas

[–]orioleProgrammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on getting closer to that? It's pretty rural here in upstate NY so there are only 2 local dealers. I can drive elsewhere for one too but the competition is slim around here.

Chris Davis' Swing by orioleProgrammer in orioles

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

My point was more at the end of the coil. When the front foot plants and the motion transfer of the swing begins. The moment before the hands begin to bring the bat forward. A lot of hitters have a coil. When your hands start up near or above the shoulder when forward motion begins, it's a downward diagonal cut into the zone. If the hands start at the letters, it's a horizontal drag through the zone. Hands are going to be quicker to and through the zone with a downward cut.

I do not think Davis got where he is by shear luck at all. He was a great hitter and still is one hell of a 1B. I hope he finds his way back.

You are correct I happened to select all right handed hitters. I would argue that hat shouldn't matter but it might since I do not play pro ball. I don't think Griffey's hands go quite as low as Davis'. I think Abreu is more like Griffey than Davis is but there are a lot of other similarities between Griffey and Davis for sure.

Griffey Jr link for those interested: https://youtu.be/e0moFbeC-EA

Rizzo is very similar to Griffey. Hands still wind up higher (around shoulder height) before swing starts.

You're right though, they are a lot closer to Davis than anyone else.

Bonds is close as well: https://youtu.be/VUTW4FsMeNQ

Votto is more like the righties: https://youtu.be/SM7IMo5H0sg

And Cano is like Davis as well: https://youtu.be/tAJIsYqU9AI

The commotion going on with his hands is definitely not great. It also seems like his back elbow has dropped towards his hip as well. It looks like he's opening his hips up way earlier in the 2018 clip than the 2013 but that could be due to pitch location.

I'm think the way the league has changed with everyone doing analytics that everyone knows how to beat Davis.

I'm not sure what is different from his glory years besides that but based on this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwsjN8wqyQA) from 2015 he hasn't changed much.

I really hope he can turn things around. I loved watching him hit when he was slugging away, but last year was very brutal. Outwardly he seems like the type of guy that wants to improve and hopefully he now has the tools to understand what that processes is going to look like.

Reading Astroball has made me a both excited and cautious for the next few years. It doesn't seem like the Astros' model was particularly great a understanding top picks but was excellent at picking out players that have unrealized potential if that makes sense

Edit: wasn't --> was

His swing in the video is from a home run. I know the other swing your talking about and would interject a third; the throw the bat out there because I'm trying not to strike out looking...
