Is that better or worse than a five tool player

it's not directly comparable but is the only way to be a six tool player, therefore better

It would probably be more accurate to say that the five tools are only one of the two ways in “two way player”. So pitching isn’t so much a 6th tool as it’s doubling up with its own set of tools. Ohtani would probably be like an 8 tool player or something.

Cavauro posted:i'll come up to two tools for it just like hitting. not a tool more going to have to agree with this assessment. Your five tools are: + hitting for average + hitting for power + base running and speed + throwing + fielding I don't know what pitching can add to that list that is any more than just one tool to the toolbox, but am willing to accept a max of two and my own lacking creativity.

You can be incredibly fast, take great routes to the ball and be able to catch anything that comes your way without having a strong throwing arm. They are considered separate "tools" since you'll often see a guy with a great throwing arm who isn't an amazing fielder.

Yeah, you can park a great fielder with a not great arm at first base to cover for that.

Besides all of the different kinds of pitches, I would think pitching tools would be something like speed, location, holding runners and uh, throwing and fielding.

The go-to excuse used to be "he was a big part of my childhood" except that childhood was 20-25 years ago now, so it just sounds pathetic.

Before AEW derangement syndrome hit a lot of the peanut gallery 'Chris Benoit should be in the hall of fame' was a leading awful take that felt like it came up every week. Not happy to see it again

i know wrestling attracts some weirdos (i say, looking deadeyed into my mirror) but are there people showing up to USC games in OJ shirts or Rae Curruth at Panthers games or Jimmy Saville cosplay at the BBC or whatever? that seems like a really wrestling fan thing to do, given the cheers ive heard for some real fuckin' monsters

Ian talked about how Kevin treated him like poo poo and held him down in ROH, IIRC, and Kevin has never let it go. I have no idea what he means by his number getting called or whatever.

There’s plenty of ways to work around having a noodle arm if you’ve got a good bat. Generally you get stuck in left field if you’ve got a good glove and a noodle arm, since you can get away with it there more than other positions.

Why is that? I get why a CF has to actually be a good fielder, he covers the most ground, but why is left field where you stick dudes that can't field instead of right?

Less can't field and more can't throw. A right fielder has to make occasional long throws to third, a left fielder doesn't so you are just stuck with them having weak throws home. If someone is a weak fielder and has a weak arm you want them in left. Brett Gardner was an excellent center fielder but played a portion of his career in left because the Yankees signed expensive free agents for center and Gardner had a weak arm, so he went from a great centerfielder to an absolutely elite left fielder. He had a weak arm so left was perfect for him. But he was so fast that the weak arm didn't really matter in center because his fielding more than made up for it.

I suppose that's why weak throwers in the infield/power hitters get placed at first base since they rarely have to make throws compared to say second/short stop Also lamo I regret ever thinking Kevin was good in the New Japan booth. It's clear with him gone that Chris carried the booth (also hope he gets demoted to like...not working on AEW. Just go to Tony/Nigel on Saturdays with Ian coming in when he can work it)
