Not in 5 games

The internet does: .386/.500/.737 with 5 HR and 5 2B in 16 games. So, even better.

The game, after all, isn't ALL about drawing walks- if it was, hell, we'd all be superstars.

Cheese and crackers may very well be the best goddamn food on the planet, and it's losing to something Taco Bell uses as a gimmicky vehicle for limp lettuce, beef sludge, and shreds of cold cheese-like substance. Fuck outta here.

If this wasn't fake, here's the trio that would win it all:

Shitty teammates and coaches are part of it, but Kobe sure as hell doesn't wait until the clock is running down to get his shots up.

This makes a pretty good case for why using team wins to evaluate individuals is always dumb, even in basketball. Add that to the arbitrary 50 wins in an arbitrary 3rd season after playing an arbitrary 28 minutes per game in a rookie season, and it gets to the point where drawing any conclusions from this is really…

I'd be in favor of a paid minor league for guys who need more development (could be the NCAA, could be something the NFL sets up — this is all fantasy, of course, never gonna happen). But there are definitely some who could come straight from high school, if given the chance.

He wrecked the SEC as a freshman, I'm pretty sure he could have survived in the NFL as a backup and special teams player until he learned the game enough to step into a starting spot. The problem is the NFL isn't used to training its own workforce. The NCAA does it for them, and both systems profit, while guys like…

Why would he have been murdered in the NFL? The whole point is that he was physically NFL-caliber from the moment he entered college. It's not like some magical process happens in college football programs that transforms people into NFL athletes. At least if he hadn't had to go to college he could have been getting…

I had to stop following him when he blocked me for calling him out on doing exactly that.

Yeah. I get that it gives some context, but that context is pretty bad and misleading. So I explained why.

I don't think it's the least important, but I get your point. You can get away with so many more mistakes if you're throwing 95 than 85, but throwing 95 alone isn't enough if you have awful command, no movement, and can't change speeds.

The velocity is measured at the release of the pitch.

ESPN's velocity conversions have always bothered me. When they convert a 75 mph fastball to a 99 mph major league equivalent, and the kids can still hit it, it suggests that they'd stand a fighting chance against, say, Craig Kimbrel's fastball. In reality, while the total reaction time for a 75 mph pitch from 46 feet…

That's not how science works.

Well, he does. Five more.
