yeah, it wouldn't be worth even pointing this out to True/Tommy. He'd completely ignore it and post 22 strikezone plots from last year....none of which would support his contention.

Great catch though.

This is a GREAT study. I liked the study I did last year (which of course fell on def ears in Tommy) breaking out a Timmeh game and analyzing each pitch and plotting the location of each.

Tommy's response was to post links to about 7 additional games with no analysis.

I basically told to go fuck himself and that the convo was over. :)

I do remember that. Lost cause with that one, but your post was appreciated here.

That would be worth seeing.

BTW, I intend to try to bump the "second chances" thread until the end of the season - or until Nolan quits posting in it. Any bets on which will come first?

As the kids say...that ain't gambling; that's a LOCK.

$100 on End of Season.

Attention whores can't help themselves.

lol, just checked that out. I didn't know Heath had a mean bone in his body. That one was AMAZING.

Old, wrinkled, disheveled and grasping to a perceived former glory that would be impossible to attain while holding a cheap, imported beer?

BOOSH!!!

There was really no malice behind that one. I just couldn't let the opportunity slip away. I'm a firm believer that if the funny outweighs the embarrassment, it must be done/said. Since I think it's probably impossible to embarrass/hurt NN (narcissism is a great buffer), that one was a no-brainer.

Nolan is a no-brainer.
