Physics talk?

 

How does a game thread deteriorate into physics talk?

 

C'mon people, 

I found this dog recently, and immediately thought perhaps it belongs to you:

Arm angle and release point: I was just watching a fastball, then a curve. Same release point. No wonder the Orioles look confused. 

 

In tennis, Roger Federer is famed for hitting all his serves from the same toss. This makes it almost impossible to read his serves, which results in a ridiculous percentage of aces, even on serves going a measly 109 mph.

Berrios is a monster today so far!

 

[Mill1634]

 

This team is going to go 140-42. If we can play Baltimore every game, anyway.

Other than the fact we won't be playing 182 games, I agree

[Vanimal46]

Now it's a party! North and Bark in the house!!

C'mon people, 

 

I don't know. Quarkly?

Little girl hit by foul ball update: appears to be fine.

C'mon people, 

Hey, we're sports fans here. It's "deter-ee-ate." 

[Jax]

I think it's going to be a fun year!

Uh, oops, um, that includes spring training and the postseason, yeah, that's it!

[Mill1634]

Buxton has to run here

[jimbo92107]

Who wants to bet Buxton is getting curves here?

No math!

[Vanimal46]

Dick N Bert are fascinated by this reliever's name

[ashbury]

Notice:  I'm out of likes.  And I'm WAY too lazy to go back and unlike some to get some more.

Uh oh. Chief mentioned this morning during Moderator warmups^* that he was here today to kick ass and hand out likes. Now he's all out of likes.

Arapahoe.

I don't suppose he'd settle for some bubble gum?

Only with California math

[Vanimal46]

Berrios is a monster today so far!

Too early for rally rum?

[Bark's Lounge]

Go get em' Berrios!

 

[ashbury]

Deteriorate? Elevate is the correct term.

For every Game Thread action, there is an opposite Game Thread reaction, apparently.

Too early for rally rum?

Rally Rum has it's time and place. I don't think this squad needs it.

[Puckett34]

 

No math!

Bark! Homecoming week, it seems!

[PDX Twin]

Are the Orioles really this bad at hitting? I get that the Twins' starters are improved, but 17 shutout innings?

[Vanimal46]

Another snapper snow blow em down inning!

[ashbury]

First-pitch curveball for a strike is always nice. Keep it up, Berrios-zie.

[Blake]

Man, I feel bad for the Orioles. Twins starting pitchers are completely shutting them down in this series.

49 pitches through 5 innings.. he's an efficient monster too.
