Been there. Nice place. 

I got a free Hamm's beer glass there on my birthday.

I like that Wallner is clearly a guy that can hit for power and has a solid eye to get on base, but he has batted ball events somewhat consistently outside of his barrels that lead to hits even if it's technically not great contact. To me, this is a difference between his profile and say a Gallo type of profile which is a good reason for optimism.

See, the way I look at it, the thing about Gallo is he doesn't HAVE "batted ball events."

I am Optimistic that we will continue to get good posting events from you in these game threads!

Aha!  BABIP doesn't pay attention to home runs either.  We're getting through to you!

Wallner has a larger volume and larger variety of types of batted ball events compared to Gallo lol

Maybe. But I don’t think the 390 BABiP is going to hold.

Do we have to schedule the posting events in the game thread events?

I don't think i reserved enough.

No, but larger volume and variety of batted ball events compared to a Gallo profile seems to be true. If I were to run to be elected as the decision maker for the Twins my platform would be centered around maximizing the number of batted ball events that the Twins have.

No, but be sure to post early and often!

I have a Joey Gallo profile as a poster. Long stretches of no posting events, but the ones that do happen are high quality. This is a very paradoxical thing to my preference for many batted ball events when I watch the games.

Yes. We schedule game threads only during games

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

One more inning? Why do games have to end so soon, and good game threading events wind down?

The event horizon is greater than you may expect.  Keep at it.

I think I've had too much Scotch to understand this posting event.

Nice ninth by Moran.  I clicked refresh on the game thread, and by the time the screen updated, the game was done!

Was there a magic number?
