That's an offset camera angle. Pitch f/x has it 1.5 feet off the middle of the plate, so 6" inside the 4 ft batters box. The night before, Ethier got hit by a pitch at about 2.25 feet in, over a foot inside it.

I didn't know people don't like Matt Kemp. He seems like a fun guy to me.

Ya got me. The $147MM man who accidentally hit Quentin twice prior missed his location in a tight NL game on a 3-2 pitch by four and a half feet. Inside. By accident. Again. Quentin hasn't had single digit HBP in a full season in his career (and Quentin doesn't have full seasons when he has full se...

Leading off the inning.

I'm almost never ok with throwing at a batter anywhere but between the numbers and the thighs, but if LA wants to aim for Quentin's hands and wrists when they next see him, I wouldn't have an issue. (And I'm not 100% anti-brawl, although usually in the AL, because there does have to be some potentia...

I might have to go wake her up and hug her and cry or something. That's a complete night ruiner. Like even if the kid didn't die that would be a devastating read.

Jesus Fucking Christ, rass, I just read the article. Quin is almost that age. He can't possibly be raped hard enough if he lets himself get to jail.

mister d

But if you somehow give the guy a weird "... but I get it", don't you wonder how he doesn't kill himself? Serious question.

I left that part off; we're checking out those two this weekend. Any Scotch Plains areas to avoid? Don't have much of a feel for there.

Those who are knowledgable, fire away. Right now inventory is painfully low in our range so we're considering either reopening some search areas or looking into new areas. Wants: Access to a nice downtown, really good public schools, proximity to train. Don't Cares: We're backwards on house size, la...

Lets file this one under "Mister D greatly overrates the cost of high end cars".

Ain't too many engineers driving around in Maseratis.

I'd consider engineering to generally be on-par or close to pharmacy.

How fucking cheap is FL housing that a $150K salary would give you the leftover money to get a Maserati?

He drives choo-choos.

Last night was a great "man, what a stupid setup" moment for the Rangers. Toronto sitting 5th, Rangers in the mix from 6th through 9th, and best case scenario was an OT that pushes Toronto into locking up 5th so we can max out and still not get above 6th.

mister d

Well that was fun. Left at the rain delay so I got to miss the joys of watching a "closer" with control issues. That always works out well. One of the things the Red Sox did to lure more fans was to offer $5 beers. Only problem was that $5 beers were about half the size of regular priced ...

But isn't "I was a journalism major and had a chance to take 6 months to focus on writing a book" a pretty good excuse for pausing the other career type thing? And that assumes you eventually need/want to go back.

mister d

Also, I'm with Z. Rosemary is great when perfectly used, but there's a lot more downside than upside.

mister d

Sounds like you're in a better position than about 90% of people your age to do something like this. Go for it. Especially if the flipside of "writing a book" is keeping a job at a gym that I imagine would come back around in a year if you want it.

My brother's best friend's cousin's friend once went to get that surgery done and when he woke up they had accidentally removed his entire penis and now he has to go pee out of his butt because he doesn't have a penis anymore.

If nothing else, just get Joey Votto 17 more PAs this season than Not Joey Votto.

That's sort of like me saying "this posts ends my official haven't made a bad post streak at over 3,500".

I would imagine preference goes 1st, 2nd, 6th then 4th. 6th still below 1st and 2nd because of the playoff reseeding. Unless that went away too or something.

Last year to fight not to get the 5th seed.

Its a fake, they don't all connect.

I think everyone should carry knives so if someone comes up to you with a knife you can use your knife to kill their knife and no one else will die and you'll be a hero.

Are people saying the ump didn't decide to call a strike until Zobrist made a move, or that he didn't make it uber-demonstrative until Zobrist made a move? Incompetent or dick? I think logic says incompetent, Foster's history says maybe a mix. Basically the anti-Joyce, where he got every benefit of...

It would be different if it weren't a confrontational douche of an ump. Many people on twitter, the super-amazing Keith Law among them, noted that he didn't ring Zobrist up until Zobrist had already made a move towards 1B.

I don't think they're trying to equate gold chains & saggy pants with black on white oppression. They're just going with the stereotypes. White guy in rebel flag shirt = racist vs. black guy in baggies and chains = gangbanger. Both are saying I won't judge your book by it's cover if you won't j...

You wonder how many more starts he'd have if not for some of those wasted bullets late in 5 run games.

I just can't believe LL went along with it. I never had him in the Mos Def or Q-Tip category, but I didn't think he was a dummy either.

mister d

DC: Really? The song is called "accidental racist", and yet he knows why the black guy working a minimum wage job is offended despite not discussing it with him. And then LL trades off bandanas for the fucking confederate flag.

mister d

Oh, its LL without a doubt. I'm not able to render the final verdict, but I'm thinking even without knowing who was saying what, he would have had the most singularly offensive line in the entire song.

mister d

The entire song is both offensive and completely undercutting of the title in the first two lines. That has to be some sort of record.
