—after you’ve eaten your own

I’ll bite. I’ve been watching baseball for over 30 years. I played baseball through high school. My point wasn’t about baseball traditions or history. I’m simply saying that the speed of the ball, while 9 times out of 10 has historically told you the intention, it doesn’t definitively tell you intention.

God damn it’s infuriating. It just seems like there’s no stopping this kind of response.

It’s different if you’re a Hall of Fame player, you’re a 60-homer guy, you’re an established guy.

Yeah this is all very good empirical evidence for determining intent. I wholeheartedly agree.

I just don’t really understand the logic behind the “nobody’s going to hit someone with a changeup” assessment.

Yeah that Gainesville show is still the only one I’ve ever went to alone. It’s the most connected I’ve ever felt to a crowd by far and for much of the same reasons you’re talking about; it just seemed like everyone there understood the importance of the moment. There was something very primal about it all.

I got struck by a line drive as a pitcher when I was 12. My parents took me to the hospital and they took X-rays and said everything was fine and sent me home despite heavy vomiting and a likely concussion.

I love how adamant the announcers are about how it’s a changeup vs a fastball. As if that 10 mph difference is going to make a difference. It’s smashing your face either way.

Nobody fucks with the jesus.

I don’t think you expected to scare so many people, eh?

I saw them in Gainesville, FL one night by myself. I too was older than most of the fans there. I remember I was so into the show, screaming along to every single song, that I sprayed the stage and the people around me with my water bottle and we all went nuts; it was so hot.

Seems pretty clear that the NFL (and money in general) doesn’t really care at all what black people think, only what white people think.

I’m surprised there wasn’t a corresponding HBP.

When I was in college I had a ticket to see these guys sitting on a bookshelf and there they sat forever because “i went to see about a girl”. I’ve regretted that decision my whole life. Fuck Will Hunting.

Costco has cat litter for so cheap it pays for the membership!

“Sir, it appears as though you’ll be staying with us for a while!”

I couldn’t give a shit about Kyle Schwarber before this supercut...but two of those were with 2 strikes. I’m sold.
