No, Jose Ramirez’s Helmet Doesn’t Defy the Laws of Physics

I don't like the article's explanation. From the reference point of the ground, the helmet wasn't kicked backward, but it was kicked back away from the relative position and velocity of the player at the time of the kick. If the player had continued at the same velocity the entire time, the helmet would have landed way behind him. To call it a "camera trick" is incorrect.

The camera trick is that it looked like the helmet was kicked backwards. They explained that it only caught up to him because he slowed to a stop at the bag, that it didn't have the same horizontal velocity as he did. But relative to the ground, it moved in the same direction as him. The camera moving made it look like the helmet moved opposite him.

The camera moving made it look like the helmet moved opposite him.

IMO, what made it look like the helmet moved opposite him is that his horizontal velocity was greater than the horizontal velocity of the helmet after it was kicked. Even with the camera movement, you can tell the helmet is moving forward relative to the ground.

Gary Thorne had a great home run call of Adam Jone's homerun in the 7th tonight.

Who cares if Schoop was the actual batter?

Just sat down, clicked on the tv, and the highlight of bautista eating one flashes

And i look to the right of the tv and see, hanging on the wall, the signed/framed picture of nolan ryan giving ventura the headlock noogies that i bought from mlb about 10 years ago

And i look to the wall to the right of the tv and think to myself that it looks sparse

Take my money mlb, do it!

I'm not a big fan of Joey Bats, but I thought it was Bush league (pun intended) for the Rangers to wait as long as they did to plunk him and have a guy called up from AA ball to do it.

They could've done it in the first series in Toronto. Guess they were afraid of getting plunked by beer bottles...

I don't why they should be afraid, Harold Reynolds said Canadians can't catch, it's likely we can't throw either.

Im probably alone, naive, dumb whatever lol ... but I dont know really 100% if recovering alcoholic Matt Bush meant to throw at Bautista ... i guess you could convince me that he wanted to endear himself to his teammates idk I just figure hed just want to pitch to stay in the show after 12 years of being a bust
