  1. Lol. 28 years old and he’s fucking washed already. There’s no slow decline in baseball anymore, dudes just fall of a cliff out of nowhere usually.

    I just said it interesting, which for a team to change the shape of the bat to make the sweet spot bigger like a whiffle ball bat for any players it is even if it wasn’t you’re beloved team…. You chose to get butt hurt and defensive about it. 

    I shouldn’t have called you a retard, I’m sorry. Unless you actually follow barstoolkfc. In which case I am not, and I re-affirm my stance.

    This is interesting..

    Do you believe every bullshit clickbait you see online? This guy is blatantly lying and should be sued for libel. Three hitters in the Yankees lineup use that kind of bat. Volpe, Wells, Jazz. No one else does. Look at pics of Judge’s bat, of Goldys bat. They are normal. You’re a retard.

    pick Florida, motherfucker.

    I’m a known Florida gator fan on here, I’ve liked them since I was a kid because alligators are my favorite animal. I don’t give much of a shit about basketball though. 
     

    Tech looks like the superior team. But that dunk seems to have rejuiced the gators

    His former teammates knew his stuff, and subconsciously probably wanted revenge too. He single-handedley lost them the WS last year.

  6. Yankees as a team have hit 9 homers today, one shy of the record 10 in a game by the Blue Jays in 1987. The 1999 Reds are the only other team to hit at least 9 in a game.

    It’s completely intuitive if you know what log scale is.  They even make graph paper with one or both axes logged.  Maybe you’ll use it when you get to high school. 
     

    it’s a pretty common way to fit multiple orders of magnitude onto something easy to read, when that is needed. 

    It’s more an indictment on society than me that I went through high school, college, and well into adulthood and never was told what log scale meant, or how it’s applied. Until today. I imagine unless you are in the STEM world you would never find out without seeking it.

    All explained above and not arbitrary.

    Routine okay at first: Fielder can only use white bag runner can only use colored bag. 

    Dropped third strike: Fielder and runner can use either bag.

    Passed ball at 1st or fair hit goes into foul territory passed 1st: Fielder and runner can use either bag.

    First baseman can’t use the colored bag in any other circumstance so can’t “force” the runner to use the white bag. Also nothing prevents the runner from running through the white bag in that circumstance.

     It sure why you think catcher beaning runner would be an out, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the runner called for obstruction in a run through at first. The rule says running lane rules apply either way so what you’re describing sounds more like fielder interference.

    What’s arbitrary about whether the fielder is in fair or foul territory?

    If you’re running home to first and you’re inside the line (fair territory), if you get hit with the ball you are out. It’s why you are taught to run in the foul side. The rest of your post does shed good light. I still think it’s unnecessary but oh well. It’s likely here to stay.

    Meh, that’s what most Bangkok condos look like after a couple of years of normal wear and tear.  Most are absolute shit quality, so if it’s still standing the OP should be fine.

    Logarithmic scales, how do they work.  Shut up, dumbass.

    When it’s a logarithmic scale you fucking moron.  7 to 8 is 10x larger.

    Spent the past few minutes reading about it. You guys are correct. I had no idea the Richter scale was that un-intuitive.

    Not an 8.0.... it's literally in the title of the thread

    An 8.0 is 2.8x stronger than a 7.7 and would have done a shitload more damage.

    I don’t think you know math good. Might want to re-check your work.

    Pretty much, just two exceptions. I also confirmed that the runner can touch only the outside bag unless one of these exceptions are in play. Makes sense because the entire point is to avoid collisions or stepping on ankles.

    Yeah, that’s confusing and arbitrary as fuck. How do you define where a throw takes the first baseman? Who has the right to which bag on a dropped third strike? If I’m a first baseman I would just take to the outside bag immediately, forcing the runner to use the white bag, which forces him to run in fair territory. Catcher is free to just bean him in the back at that point, and he’s automatically out.
