Because I listened to his comment yesterday, and didn’t remember the word for word quote.

In case you weren’t aware, ‘intelligence’ and ‘education’ mean different things. Hope that clears things up for you.

Of course, but the same can be said about all sports. I was going to add “Of course there are exceptions, but they’re so rare as to be meaningless in this discussion” to my original comment, but deleted it (not sure why). If anything I’d argue that the minor leagues make baseball players a little more well rounded and…

I hope that you’re not suggesting that because football and basketball players went to “college” that they’re more educated. Because that’s just dumb. How about we agree that pretty much none of our professional athletes are actually educated?

Paraphrasing: “It doesn’t take a genius to run a baseball team. I mean c’mon, 1/3 of the players are Dominicans...”

Umm... Is this comment meant to suggest he’s been anything other than awesome this year?

Gary Brown seems like a pretty cool dude.

Yes... and that’s exactly why I’m engaging too.

Just where in the fuck did I excuse his comments? I’m arguing that his comments say nothing about Scherzer’s strike zone. But I suppose I shouldn’t expect an ignorant prick to pick up on nuance. I also find humorous that you’re so quick to call out his petulance, yet when reading your own comment...

I was going to come here and say “wait... I’m not seeing ads, what are you talking about?” But then I saw your comment, and remembered and smiled and typed this out instead.

Haha. Guess I could have used a paragraph break after the first ‘Scherzer.’ Or quotes, or... pbbbllltttttj.

Let me ask you this... how can Bryce judge Scherzer’s strike zone from RF? If he can’t see what kind of calls Scherzer is getting, why should he be required to have a comment?

You’re one of those fans that yells “open your eyes Blue...” from the outfield bleachers aren’t you?

And it could be that Harper was only pissed about that one; because in comparison if the other pitch is a strike, there is no way that one could be.

Pitchf/x is from the umpire’s perspective according to their site (but I had looked because I had the same memory and wanted to check myself before making a snarky reply to the article.).

Repeat after me... Harper doesn’t face Scherzer. He wasn’t complaining about Greinke getting calls Scherzer wasn’t; he was complaining about an inconsistent strike zone. It would also stand to reason that he’d have no way to judge what Scherzer was getting called. He can’t see the strikezone from RF... regardless of…

I guess we’re just going to ignore the pitch in the upper left, right? If an ump is going to call the upper left a strike, he can’t call the lower right a strike. Batters can’t easily cover that wide of a zone.

I read the first five (pretty long) paragraphs, and thought “oh, wait... he’s serious about this?” Then scrolled down and saw how much more had been written; thought: “nah, I don’t think I can spend the time; but the comments should be fun.” I’m pretty comfortable with my choice.

Eat. God damnit EAT. You have to go to school, and I have to go to work (fucking) EAT.

“live and let live” with a serial woman beater? Are you fucking kidding?

I generally liked This is 40, so I’m not really disagreeing with you, but it did kind of plod along at times. I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more if the main characters weren’t such hipster dipshits. Does the “my dream career is failing” plot device always have to be happening to the cool-guy record company…
