Also, bear in mind, in 2001, the very next season, Ichiro came to the MLB where he posted .350BA including 241 hits and won AL MVP.

First off, your stat that in 2000 a dozen player batted above .387 in the Pacific League is 100% bogus. I didn’t remotely remember anything like that, so I looked up the actual statistics.

How many hits would Pete Rose have had in his first 10 years if he only got to play 130 games per year?

He’d still have the same number of hall of fame spots.

Their goal is for you to write this exact statement. You took the time to think about how actual change can actually occur. You thought about a very tough subject,with charged emotions and differences in experience. You took the time to ask a question. Their goal is for it to be an issue that people who wouldn’t…

Still holding on to that false narrative that he is demanding a starting  job? Never would have been interested in Seattle if it was a starting job that he was seeking. Stop with the bullshit.

Why is this greyed out vs. all the stupid jokes... Just proves to me that the authors of these little write-ups dont read and promote good comments.

Well the endgame might be a lot more people understanding that asking a stadium of Americans to all uniformly profess pride in our national symbols has always been pretty naive, but even more so recently. I like that players are willing to openly display their displeasure with the state of our democracy/culture.…

Wesley Matthews as an 83 is way too high. Kris Middleton—a similar 3-and-D wing—was rated an 81/82 in 2K17 and he’s quite a bit better than Matthews. Matthews’s shooting overall has gone into the toilet, and his 3pt % is only a bit above average. And that’s before you factor in that he’s 30 and had a ruptured…

To create public scrutiny, to do one’s part even when you do not know all the moves before hand, because you think it’s right.

It’s not a hunger strike. None of these guys are in danger if they have to keep doing this for the rest of their careers. They can afford to try things.

It may not seem like much, but protest gain momentum and get traction over time. Whether it’s a bus boycott or sit-in. In time, the issue remains in the faces of those holding the power until things change. There are a few goals/end-games that I see: 1. Solidarity with Kaepernick until he’s signed by a team and given…

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

Absolutely! I’ve already written on other articles that Tom Brady could’ve taken a knee on behalf of his half-black nieces last season and the controversy would have been squelched and put to mumbling, grumbling rest.

I don’t know their goals, because I have read their statements on their actions, but often, protests serve to:

Yeah, one of the good things about 2K is that how they generally avoid ratings inflation, unlike EA.

I haven’t played any of the EA titles (Live, Madden) since 2008, but the ratings inflation was nuts, with every mediocre starting quarterback getting a 91/92 rating; the terrible ones still getting an 88. I’m glad 2K…

Because you’re in the half they don’t want. Go away.

“Put the hole in the bag, man. Every time.”

Not really any reason to guess about pitch location at this point: http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/pfx.php?s_type=3&sp_type=1&year=2017&month=7&day=18&batterX=3&pitchSel=112526&game=gid_2017_07_18_nyamlb_minmlb_1/&prevGame=gid_2017_07_18_nyamlb_minmlb_1/&prevDate=718.

Ball started its break at the front of the batter’s box and caught quite a bit of the plate before it got to the catcher.

Just get blazed and watch reruns of Gilmore Girls, it’s basically the same thing.
