NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Also, you just don’t see many sandlots anymore

We developed over a lot of them

They are still there and get used for cricket by the new Americans.

Now do pitchers with season ending arm injuries

More to do with everyone trying to throw 100 mph than the pitch clock

 

[The Q]

More to do with everyone trying to throw 100 mph than the pitch clock

Yup. It’s max effort and mechanics to try and do that than the pitch clock

 

[fightinfunbags]

He suffered a career ending injury…bowling

Do you know the impossible odds of that happening?

This isn’t Aaron Boone playing pickup basketball when he wasn’t supposed to

It was bowling

And again, you act like he left and played for someone else

It was a good deal by the sixers that got sunk by impossibly bad luck

A healthy Bynum and jrue would’ve been a great starting point

Don’t tell me who is should hate and who I shouldn’t hate

And the push to have these guys add a 4th, 5th, and 6th pitch. The nuance of throwing that many pitches with inconsistent movement increases elbow issues.

Yup, spin rate, etc. more vorp type shit.

No offense but every major sports team in your area has been garbage for quite some time with a blip from the Nationals and the Capitals. They’ve been mostly listless dog shit. No group of sports fans in the world are going to show up and pay attention to people just rolling the ball out and mismanaging things like the Redskins National and Bullets have done. Thank God the Capitals lucked into Ovechkin or they would be a mess as well.

I live 2.5 hours from DC.

People here claim whatever team they want.

I judge based on kids in my area.

They get excited about NFL, NBA, and even Euroleague soccer.

Very few baseball fans around here.

Yep I will keep beating the drum that baseball will be at best 4th place in sports in most areas

In hockey towns it will be 5th

Save your huge baseball cities of course.

Baseball is still the only one of the 4 major sports where you don’t need to have next level size to think about a pro career. 5’9-5’10’’ 170-180 pound dudes can make hundreds of millions of dollars still in baseball. It will always be popular.

Bro I’m as petty as they come

This is like me being made at Gordon Hayward for snapping his leg like a toothpick

At least Hayward was playing basketball

 

[thunderc]

At least Hayward was playing basketball

Something he hasn’t really done since

I mean do you expect these dudes to just sleep in a coffin between games?

The dude was bowling

Freaking bowling

Do you know how astronomical the odds are that you suffer a career ending injury while bowling?
