Yes, what does he do more of get singles or ground into double plays? I also, understand batting avg is a poor indication of value, but a good indication of value has literally not merit when it comes to accurately portraying a typical at bat. If anything it should just be a ground ball out with no one on.

HAHAHAHA. I know he's had a poor season. For Christsakes his wOBA is below .300 which is very bad, but he's still getting hits, they have happened at a relatively decent clip, they've just all been singles for the most part. I said the honest yet nice version. That's all, btw you're an idiot.

Major League batting avg. last year was .253. Jeter at age 40 is still batting .272. Compared to Jeter's career .312 batting avg it's pretty weak sure, but he isn't useless especially considering in baseball years he's a centenarian. The nice, yet honest version is a single up the middle or something. Yeah Jeets.

No, I believe I've literally been next to somebody in Europe who knew who NFL players were. Dude just change your fucking wording and it'd be fine. "NFL players aren't household names in Europe." Ok sure makes sense, but "Next to nobody" is fucking hyperbolic, completely 100% incorrect and a boring talking point. Just…

I understand you're trying to point out that it's an anecdotal experience. However, according to my Irish cousins (as in cousins born and raised in Ireland) it is common for some families in Irealnd to follow football, particularly if they've visited the US. US football is in no way shape or form an international…

I'm sorry that you're speaking in such generalities, but considering I watched a football game on my cousin's couch in Ireland while they watched their favorite team the 49ers I know first hand you're incorrect. It's not popular or anything, but they have a cursory knowledge of the biggest stars of the sport. The…

Except for a lot of Europeans. But, whatever.

It was just hilariously hyperbolic phrasing to me, but I'm happy you've gotten fitter and are happier with your physical appearance though! No snark.

There's a sports injury expert named Will Carroll who my roommate uses for fantasy sports (he's way deep into it) who explained that the Tommy John Surgery threshold is usually for UCL tears that are torn 25% or more. Matt Harvey's was around that mark which is why he was given the option to approach both methods…

This is categorically wrong. Different rep speeds serve different functions. An NFL player will gain very little from doing a slow and super controlled bench press. An explosive fast concentric movement (in the case of the Bench Press, the push) will activate far more fast twitch muscle fibers, which beyond having a…

A brand new body?! Whoa! What was it like when they removed your head from your old body???

Indeedy. P.s. the background on my phone is a tiger. I like your handle picture!

As an opera singer myself, I would like to point out that, that no version of warming up before singing a song is singing a song out of tune in it's entirety to backing music.

Well it helps him in the peer differential obviously, but the dude hit homers with the greatest frequency of any player in history, soooo obviously it wouldn't have mattered much who you compared him too. He would always be toward the top, even at the height of the steroid era.

It's apparently "National shit all over David Ortiz Week." About damn time.

Cheers. I like your name. It's weird.

No need to have any doubt, I'm more than positive he didn't start the trend. Not the point. Interestingly, I almost used "cool whatever," instead of "Sure, cool" with my last comment.

Sure, cool.

I'm with you on the using "crack" to describe "addictively" good food or whatever, but Momofuku is a restaurant by a Korean dude. David Chang. So the white assumption needs to go, the rest is cool though.

I swear, every time it comes up, some Red Sox homer explains how he never tested positive for PED. Fandom does funny things to people's brains.
