I don't really care for the prospect of teams being able to fine fans, regardless of what it's for And it really does become a free speech issue if the city or state issues the fine

Hate speech is protected as long as it's not used to incite violence IIRC.

Any word on the softball/beer/rec league thread? I would make it but I am a blushing newb to these forums. I also play on two rec leagues and love talking about it (to an annoying degree, probably)

I mentioned something earlier about Showalter and freckles. I found the article. There's more.Tim Kurkjian posted:Showalter told us what scouts look for in a player. "They're looking for high-butt guys," he said. "You don't want a low-butt guy." And, "You don't want a 10-to-2 guy," he said, referring to a player whose feet point outward, like the hands on a clock at 10 minutes to 2. "You want a guy whose feet point in, not out." Of course they're looking for high-butt guys. Everybody is looking for high-butt guys. http://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=kurkjian_tim&id=5422772

Came across this stuff from my childhood The lineup card and Morgan picture were given to me when I had an extended stay in the hospital. The Sam Horn card came when me and my brother ran into him in the bathroom of a Bennigan's after a game. He pulled a stack of his own baseball cards out of his pocket and signed two of them for us. Edit: That lineup card does not match what BR.com has for that date. The gently caress? Kevyn fucked around with this message at 00:08 on May 3, 2017 |

Where do you guys get those little graphs on home runs with the exit speed and trajectory and all? I wanted to check out Bonifacio's from last night for KC.

Joey Freshwater posted:There's no way the stadium or team would realistically be able to enforce it except to ban them from the stadium until it's paid - then you have people bitching about free speech without actually understanding what it is. Intruder posted:I don't really care for the prospect of teams being able to fine fans, regardless of what it's for UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:How about just a lifetime ban from Fenway, so you don't send the message that it's ok to shout racial epithets as long as you're wealthy Realchat: You trespass the offending fan (as you would a field jumper) and offer to rescind it upon restitution - a donation of volunteer time and/or money to a qualifying organization. In a perfect world, the targeted player also has to approve of lifting the ban... but things get gross and weird fast when you put a victim in a situation where they look bad for withholding forgiveness. Even still, you've avoided free speech concerns and demonstrated that racist heckling is as frowned upon as entering the field of play.

Love to take a six run lead into the ninth, get two outs and still be sweating the outcome. Might be time to write off Matt Wisler -- and I guess the whole Kimbrel/BJ trade as salary relief cause the other major return on that was Cameron Maybin who was flipped for uhh, Ian Krol?

Here's the video. In other news the Royals were shut out again tonight, on the season they have scored 2 runs or less in 13 out of 25 games. So, uh, I guess I need to appreciate the long dingers when they happen. e: Weird what I usually do was sending me to some html page instead of an image, thanks Inspector.  I fully expect to be impressed by at least one more Royals home run in the year 2017. I'm not holding my breath on two though. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 06:03 on May 3, 2017 |

Here's the video. Just right-click copy/upload to Imgur.  Also the 3D representations they have now are seriously awesome:  You can get them from top-down, home plate (seen here), outfield, or first base angles.

Getting thrown at my loving head, getting loving thrown at everywhere. It’s loving bullshit. I’ve lost mad respect for that organization, for that coaching staff, for everyone over there. [...] Pitchers out there with loving balls in their hands, throwing 100 mph trying to hit people. And I’ve loving got a bat too. I could go out there and crush somebody if I wanted to. But you know what, I’d get suspended for a year and the pitcher only gets suspended for two games. That’s not cool." O's fan but Machado is 100% justified in saying this.

Manny Machado has done some dumb asshat stuff in the past but he is also a cool dude who seems to always get singled out and thrown at so I understand why he's sick and tired of it happening especially after that slide which was clearly not meant to hurt anyone. The Red Sox are the only ones who come out of this looking bad.

Inspector_666 posted:poo poo, I knew Freddie was off to a good start but not that good. Wow. They're still a bad team but it's insane how much the Braves' lineup has changed from the '15 roster of Freddie and seven AAAA position players -- Freeman is a god; Inciarte, Phillips, Kemp and Markakis are, at least for the moment, more than credible MLB starters; Flowers/Suzuki will regress to garbage at the C but are both hot right now; Garcia is not entirely embarrassing until Ruiz is ready and Swanson is slumping but not in a way that raises a real red flag about his future. Several of those guys are stopgaps but I think they're adequate at least for the goal of putting a major league team on the field to open SunTrust.
