sauss06 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 31 minutes ago, Atomixwx said: College baseball bores me for some reason. I think it's the broadcasting, but I also think it's the metal bats. These kids are months away from the metal bats going bye bye, and really, the NCAA should make them go bye bye so there isn't that adjustment to wood. That and I have yet to see or hear about some collegiate goliath hitting a 700 foot homer. That would change my opinion pretty goddamned fast. And then I would petition for a brick wall between home and the mound to protect pitchers and introduce the metal bats to MLB so there is a race between Fernando Tatis, Jr., Vlad Guerrero, Jr., Ronald Acuña, Pete Alonso, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton to the the first with a 1,000 ft blast.

Atomixwx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I agree about the bats. I've been told its a money thing, which i call BS as you simply just get a sponsor to supply bats, just as they do now. I mean, yeah, the downside to a wood bat is it can only break once. The answer is to slather Louisville Slugger even more over everything or have their logo tattooed on the ass cheeks of the players and back up the trucks.

Atomixwx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 It's kinda like what happened in the UFC with the shorts. The company didn't like seeing CondomDepot.com written across the asses of grown sweaty half naked men rolling around beating the shit out of each other, so they greased the ghost of Adi Dassler to get Reebok to make uniforms. I'm tired of hearing about college standouts needing an additional half a season in the bushes because they can't get adjusted to a bag that isn't scientifically engineered to expand the sweet spot from the top of the barrel to the knob of the bat so that an attempted bunt becomes a three run shot. Somebody needs to manufacturer some damned bats. D1 only at first to save the up-front cost.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I bought a SRO ticket deal for Phillies games in April. It was like $9 a ticket. I am not even a Phillies fan but figure we might go to a couple games for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have tickets to 5 games so I passed on it. I currently hold tickets to 15 games this year - 10 in Baltimore and 5 in Philly.

It has been 17 days since the last flakes flew here - honestly it seems like it's been much longer. I'm sure Blizz will pull something out of the bottom of his toboggan tonight but I've moved on. The likelihood of snow drops with each passing day but more importantly...the chances of something significant are becoming extremely low. It is big game season for the HR guy...nuisance snows well into March or beyond just aren't appealing. Having said that - and directly to your post...while a nuisance snow in March is worthless to me, ANY kind of snow in May is very, very cool because of the novelty of such an event.

I have received measurable snowfall in 15% of Aprils and 62% of Marchs since I've been keeping records. Have never recorded snowfall in May but did see it falling in late May up near Bradford when my wife and I were on a trip to the Allegheny National Forest. For good measure, October 8% of the time and November 54% (although a few were <.2" for the entire month). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
