Americans agree we're in a political crisis
TBayXXXVII replied to Ron_Artest's topic in The Geek Club
That what, he's part left-wing and right-wing? No, he's a moderate Republican. He's not far right like the left makes him out to be. -
There's truth in that, but I didn't feel the need to go that far in this thread.

Looks like weepaws needs a refresher on division alignment/affiliation.

Democrats in the wrong fight- don’t shut down the government
TBayXXXVII replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
This is the whole Democrat party. They actually, really don't care one bit about the people they pretend to. Their ONLY objective is to create victims in this country so that there will always be a class of people to fight for (even though they never actually fight... they just yell and scream). Again, another reason why this is the worst political party the planet has ever seen. -

Been like that my whole life... why stop now? -

Part of the problem is that people continue to express the falsehood that Hitler was far-right and Trump is like him. If you go point by point, Hitler is at best, half right-wing and half left-wing (by today's standards). -

Well, like I said, Seattle isn't a hitter nor HR friendly park, so it makes sense that he's better on the road. That's been the case every year for him. To me, the difference is that he's more experienced and learned more how to hit in his home park. Learned more of what pitches to hit, where, and how. After all, this is only his 4th full season and he's shown progression. It's not like he's an 8-9 year vet (like Brady Anderson was), who's been relatively static.

Curious, how do the home/away splits raise a flag for you, in what way? Looking at Statcast and I saw that Seattle is not a very hitter friendly ballpark. T-Mobile Park ranks as the 30th most hitter friendly park in baseball this year, so dead last, and 18th best HR-friendly park in the league this year. If you track it over the last 3 years, they're 28th most hitter friendly park out of 28 (as the A's & Rays don't have 3 years of data in their current ballpark), and 20th best HR-friendly park. To me, it makes sense that he's putting up a better slash line on the road than at home. Last year was similar, and more road heavy. To me, this says he's learned to hit for power at home this year.

Yeah, I know the numbers... I gave them to you. LOL Define "come close"? Does 50 qualify? I mean, he's now entering his peak prime years. He should have 1 or 2 more like this before any decline. But, it depends on what you consider a decline. I mean, what if he ends up with 62 this year, hits 48 then 52, before going down to say 38? Do you think he's going to drop down to 30 next year? So you think that he's the ONLY ONE who's able to circumvent the steroid testing?

Nah, not Brady Anderson. Once he became an everyday player, he was hitting a HR about 2.5 to 3% of his plate appearances, then all of a sudden shot up to 7, and then back down. His fly ball% did go up, but back down again. The reason Raleigh isn't like him, is because his HR% was always high, it just went higher. In his first (mostly), full season, he was at 6.5%, he then went down to the mid-to low 5's and now this year at 8%. It's not really the outlier. He's a power hitter who's squaring up more and getting more comfortable. This is his 4th season, so the numbers make sense. It didn't for Anderson because it happened at age 32, after being a role player for 3 years and a regular for 6. Raleigh is more like Schwarber, but hitting that stride at a younger age. Prior to this year, in Raleigh had 93 HR's in 1760 PA's (462 games)... Schwarber had 110 HR's in 1884 PA's (492 games). They're more similar than Brady Anderson.

I don't think he's wrong. I definitely know he's right on strike 3 though. (in regards to the umpires calls... not comments in the dugout).

Woah, woah, woah there buddy. Didn't you read the article? The author included a quote of someone who is concerned about hunters. Also made 2 other hunting references. Clearly, these guys were simply hunting. -
Wasn't there something about ending frivolous lawsuits?
TBayXXXVII replied to TBayXXXVII's topic in The Geek Club
What's worse.... they're going to re-file!! Anthony Russo, an attorney for the consumers who sued Hershey, said that they intend to amend the complaint. Seriously, this guy should be disbarred if that happens. -

Shhh.... you're not supposed to know/say that.

Not really sure you'd have an option. If it were tonight, there'd only be one held by liberals. MAGA's party wouldn't be on a Wednesday night... we have to work tomorrow.

You can keep with your childish rants, have at it. Doesn't change the fact that you're wrong.

If it's raining, then it's an "exaggeration" of the truth and not to be taken literally (which by definition), is "hyperbole". If it's not raining at all, then to say that person is being hyperbolic, would be wrong to do so. YOU said that hyperbole "by definition" is "not true". You were incorrect. Oh, and yes, Kimmel lied.

1. Yes, taken off air until he issued an apology. 2. Yes, have Kimmel apologize, until then... ? No one silenced Kimmel, except Kimmel and ABC/Disney... whomever. All he had to do was say sorry. Not hard.
