It was "play right or......" We had repercussions for not playing right. Do you like a game when people don't play right?

Many, now, can and will throw a cutter/change/slider behind in the count. I chose to challenge in spots, 1-0, 2-1. Tried to locate when a CH might be in play.

That's a huge piece for me. The biggest piece, they (analytics) dont value the individual batter vs. pitcher in sequences and shifts. Zero - they call them a "luck" value. They have ZERO idea how important they really are. e.g. Gregg Olson vs. Dave Parker.

Yea, no.... They're afraid to go back. Watch when guys start throwing power sinkers again. Watch when guys value a ball in play with 2 strikes. Watch the playoffs - see guys getting runners over and sac bunting? When it matters? I do.

You talked about throwing at someone's head. I said you wouldn't get up from mine. Now you want a fistfight? You read well or too many headshots?

Yea, that one wins. best day ever. How I didn't get the win, crossing over the 5th inn., threw the best of the relievers. Thanks.

Pitchers can maintain velocity at top end for two innings. I think it may be more likely that the board is amped up by a few mph. Seen it happen in MLB. Sorry, didn’t mean to question you - just see so many on here “touched 98 today” then look at the video and it’s not close.
