The ideal swing mindset is just to step up to the plate and imitate Gary Sheffield as closely as possible.

This is my strategy for beer league softball so I don't know how well it works in MLB but I figure there has to be some carryover.

The NBA is covered like a soap opera, which is why it is so compelling. The NFL is propped up by gambling and fantasy. Baseball media is a bunch of Hat Guys who yell at everyone trying to be fun and baseball players actively attack fun dudes.

In an absolute shocker, the World Baesball Classic is a complete clusterfuck when it comes to tiebreakers, and Adrian Gonzalez is pissed.

quote:

"They're trying to become the World Cup, but they're not even close to being the Little League World Series," he said Wednesday.

Gonzalez's Mexican team beat Venezuela 11-9 Sunday in Guadalajara, leaving both teams tied with Italy for second in Group D behind Puerto Rico (3-0). The World Baseball Classic Twitter account initially announced Monday's tiebreaker game would be between Mexico and Italy. But the WBC technical committee determined the tiebreaker -- runs allowed per defensive inning -- meant Italy (1.05) and Venezuela (1.11) advanced and not Mexico (1.12).
http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...ico-elimination

e: lol

quote:

Gonzalez said he spoke with Kim Ng, Major League Baseball's senior vice president for baseball operations, and was told the WBC technical committee was not responsible for the information disseminated on Twitter by the WBC and MLB.

"You're MLB! What do you mean you're not accountable?" Gonzalez said he responded.

Dodgers teammate Joc Pederson walked up to the crowd of reporters around Gonzalez and said: "Unbelievable, huh? What kind of rules are those?"

"Mexico! Mexico! Mexico!" Pederson chanted loudly.

I'll agree with the above poster who said the Braves radio crew is better than Chip Caray. But I don't mind Chip. I mean of the broadcasters that can't shut up, at least he is really knowledgeable. The dudes who both don't know wtf they're talking about and can't shut up are infinitely more annoying. I often feel lucky to have such good local commentary. Also, in the postseason, the best is mlb.tv with only stadium audio.

if you did that though you missed out on some crucial information from joe buck, for example, here's a little known and important strategic fact about the world series: jon lester, the cubs pitcher, can't throw to first.

If there's anything the WBC has taught us, it's that American baseball is literally the worst loving baseball on the face of the earth.

quote:

“I hope kids watching the W.B.C. can watch the way we play the game and appreciate the way we play the game as opposed to the way Puerto Rico plays or the Dominican plays,” Kinsler said. “That’s not taking anything away from them. That just wasn’t the way we were raised. They were raised differently and to show emotion and passion when you play. We do show emotion; we do show passion. But we just do it in a different way.”
