Yeah, meanwhile the South has to deal with Hurricane season, the Midwest has to deal with Tornados and the East Coast has to deal with flooding and torrential rain.

If you think that’s evil, how about a Nano-boosted Soldier 76 who’s got you in his sights and is being buffed for damage by Mercy while Zen is throwing discord orbs everywhere ;)

Congrats on responding to a two-month old comment and a clearly tongue-in-cheek joke. I think a computer trained in natural language processing would’ve done better than you just did.

What game six of the World Series?

I would agree but Humble Bundle found that roughly 25% of users were pirating their bundles, and that is with a scheme where you can even name your own price for DRM-free games/music.

At this stage of the game, plate discipline is either something you have or you don’t. I’ve seen hyped players like Delmon Young, Corey Patterson, Cameron Maybin, Lastings Millege, etc. all falter at the major league level because pitchers exposed their lack of plate discipline.

My point is Rasmus’ valuable years required an unsustainable BABIP to generate any kind of offensive value. The moment his BABIP regressed to the mean, he was at best a leauge average hitter with above average defense, so a 1-2 win player.

Him having a .273 batting average requires him to have a .336 BABIP, which I’m not sure he can sustain over the long haul unless he either drastically cuts down his K-rate again or starts walking more than 3-5% of the time.

40% is something you’d expect from a pitcher batting. Baez ‘improved’ from a pitcher going up to bat to a free-swinger who still strikes out more than 20% of the time and who doesn’t walk at all.

Those 4 and 5 WAR seasons also coincided with Colby Rasmus having an unsustainable BABIP of over .350 to help mitigate his propensity for striking out. Additionally, Rasmus’ lowest walk rate in a season was 6.9% as a rookie, which is still better than anything Baez has done.

They are way down....from 40%. They are still between 20-25% which, coupled with his 3-5% walk rate, means he needs an unsustainable BABIP to even be an average major league hitter. Kris Bryant at the plate he is not.

More like I’ve seen the exact same player as Baez show up time and time again, a player with an unlimited ceiling who strikes out a ton and doesn’t walk at all. Byron Buxton seems to fall in the same category.

Yeah, he can join the plethora of players like Delmon Young, Cameron Maybin, Lastings Millege, Corey Patterson, etc. as players with “all-star caliber ceiling” who strike out a ton and walk very little.

I mean, he cut his strikeout rate from an ungoldly 40% to a more manageable 20-25%, but the fact remains there are pitchers that walk more frequently than him and that is something that hasn’t changed throughout his career.

We’ll see with Baez. His issue is his lack of plate discipline. We’re talking about a guy who strikes out between 25-30% of the time and gets a walk around 3-5% of the time.

That was Buck Showalter level of incompetence in bullpen management by Bochy, I hope he gets raked in the coals for it.

Keep in mind that the President didn’t try to negotiate peace until October 3rd while the Rangers retook Whiskey Hotel on August 14th. So in the span of almost 2 months, the US had no plans to even invade Moscow, despite the open declaration of war? Uh-huh.

That’s what happens when the main writer (Corey May, lead writer of Assassin’s Creed I, II, Brotherhood and III) has to change his original vision of Desmond’s arc to have Brotherhood and Revelations exist, and has most of his Desmond work in Assassin’s Creed III get scrapped.

My main issue with Brotherhood is that it unnecessarily extended Ezio’s revenge arc by having him not kill Rodrigo Borgia, despite the second game giving no indication of this.

Not only that, but there were hints of where MW3 was originally going to go in MW2.
