Re: The McDonald's Thread: All things McDonald's

I love those kiosks. I usually just order on the app like a normal person, but in a pinch it works. It's got all the things right there, in a list. I can take my time. I can double check my order myself. I don't have to try to translate through a speaker. They're redoing the one by me. Not that I ev...

Re: IGT 8/18/2024: MIA@NYM — The Certs Series Finale

One more thing on the run expectancy numbers: 12 no outs has a run expectancy of 1.561, 23 1 out, 1.449. Remember that those figures are averages and one reason why the NON-bunt route is higher is that by not ceding an out (bunting) you increase the chances of a 'Big' inning [three, four, five runs...

Re: IGT 8/18/2024: MIA@NYM — The Certs Series Finale

That was actually one of the situations where bunting was a reasonable option. You want two runs there but you NEED one so a bunt puts both in scoring position, eliminates the traditional GiDP, and forces Miami to bring the infield in for at least one hitter and maybe two. If successful (and assumi...

No, I don't think so.

I hate that he used Brazobán, but I was just as frustrated by Showalter making similar moves. I think this sort of thing goes higher up.
if the front office is advising bunting like that in in the ninth we're in for a long decade.

Re: Braves & Reds to do the Bristol Stomp

They should tear down the Ebbets Field Housing project, and airlift Citi Field into the suddenly vacated space. Voila! The Brooklyn Dodger Classic. Hilda will be there. And the Sym-Phony will be performing at the Rotunda. Plus Steve Cohen gets to build a brand new stadium to replace this idiotic ph...

Re: Stickygate, 2024

What do we think Vic Carapazza's wager was? Probably something involving Diaz not getting a save would seem the most likely, but maybe it was some long parlay.

Re: The Trevor Bauer is a Douchebag Thread

I've always been partial to Bauer in this matter. I think Bauer's conduct was vile and Bauer himself is a terribly flawed individual. Myself, I can't fathom striking a woman in the face even though she consented or asked to be punched in the face. Personally, I would have tremendous difficulty punc...
