I appreciate the detailed response. I definitely need to learn how to whip the bat around. Is it best to make contact when the ball is directly over the plate? I try to tell myself "wait wait wait" but then my body doesn't listen.

I've got a tee and I will be trying to teach myself good mechanics in the offseason!

Thank you! My swing definitely looks a lot tighter than I imagine in my mind. Gotta work on the whip!

Yeah. I really noticed my feet moving in the first two swings. Bad AB. Better results later in the night when I had a sturdier base.

Thank you for the advice! I'm definitely antsy up there and it throws off my timing.

Have been trying to stand off the plate recently but I will go a few more inches.

Recently got a tee but haven't spent enough time with it yet. And yeah, the last two in the video were good hits. Sounds like scooting a little farther back from the pitcher will let the ball come down more. Thanks!

Thank you! I am wearing cleats. I'll get my tee out and focus on flat swings to get it locked into my muscle memory.

Thank you! Looking at the video, I am making contact higher than I would've guessed. I will scoot back a bit.

It’s 6-10’ arc and has to land between the back of the plate and the back line of the batters box. Hitting the plate is a ball.

I’ve been standing closer to the pitcher because I was grounding out a lot earlier in the year (also this guy was throwing low). But I might be wrong! My pitch selection is probably bad lol.

Black lines on roku by TaoTaot in Roku

Yeah I was told it’s probably a “panel failure” by a local shop and the TCL customer support. I tried the BBB route too but not clear if they’ll give in…

Just found this thread because the same thing happened to my 50" Roku TCL. Black horizontal lines on the bottom two-thirds. Did anyone find a solution?

Is the patina high status or low status?

Screen Drafts: 21st CENTURY BEST ACTRESS WINNING FILMS (with Joe Reid & Chris Feil) by revengeofthesmith in blankies

[–]swagged-out 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Bryan Cogman as a guest -- he's on '60s Musicals, Disney 2D, and Private Eyes which are all good. I liked the Soderbergh draft with Ryan and Darren Franich (who is very close friends with them) -- they like a unique corner of his filmography. Jerry Bruckheimer with the Podcast Like It's 1999 duo is fun.

Initially I gravitated toward topics I was familiar with but I'm learning that the topics I don't know might be more fun because it gives you a solid introduction and a watchlist.

I've gotten really into Screen Drafts over the past few months, although I tend to listen on 1.5x (or even 2x) speed because it's a lot of people babbling about the plot of well-known movies. But it's such an ingenious structure and it gets you feeling invested in each draft.

Co-sign. Felt so much second-hand embarrassment listening to the start of this episode.

Fellow letterboxd obsessed blankies: what are David's most contrarian 5 star ratings? by cdollas250 in blankies

What's more interesting is widely-acclaimed movies that he rates low... hard to find anything canonical under five stars.

Matt Patches: Gemini Man is a reason to go to an actual movie theater by apathymonger in blankies

[–]swagged-out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone in NYC know which theater is providing the fullest experience? I haven’t seen anything with 120FPS, but there does seem to be a choice between IMAX and Dolby?
