quick throw bop

[TβG]

i have noticed that most times i bop i feel like i am throwing the ball before it gets in the glove.

i have contended in the past that this happens on most plays and it's our subjective/selective memory/falibility that we only notice the early throw, or think we notice the early throw when we get feedback from the nes via the bop.

[TβG]

as far as pinch hitter "h" theory:

these are the guys:

ca = hendrick

bo = henderson

dt = heath

ny = heep

that's it.  only four guys.  the top three are good hitters regardless of the ph boost, so these theorists are only kind of wrong about danny heep.  now if the legend started out that "pinch hitters whose last names begin with 'h' are the best ph's," or that "you can pick the best ph by having 'h' in his lastname" there's more validity to that than thinking he's magic because his lastname starts with "h."

although, i believe they'd be wrong on all accounts, they at least identified the second-best ph in terms of power on each team, kinda...

armas > henderson

jones > hendrick

madlock, sheridan > heath

johnson, teufel > heep

broiler, any results?

[nightwulf]

i wont try the pinch hitter H theory because I have never noticed anything of the sort.

Maybe you haven't, but someone did, and because of that idiot every "tips" website on RBI lists it as absolute fact. Neither "theory" is more or less valid than the other.

nightwulf, please dont be intimidated that you are the Anaximander to my Pythagoras

"Intimidation" and "irritation" are two very different things. While I'm at it, I'd rather be Pythagoras.

I'd also like to note that this thread irritates me because every time I read the title I get "Blitzkrieg Bop" stuck in my head.

Sounds like a reason to love this thread

Once again, irritation at irrationality is quite different than wherever the hell you're going with "defensed mechanisms."

Not if you're a farmer. TAKE THAT

Broiler, kudos if you know your triangles, but you aint no Pythagoras. Unless you are a numerologist and believe that everything in the universe is vibrating at a certain rate and is expressed in numbers that give everything certain  physical and mental characteristics. The Matrix is tricky my friend. I can only show you the door, but it is you who has to walk through it.

Anybody know about the "humm baby" theory in RBI and with the sf giants? It was the slogan for Roger Craig's Giants in 87. There is the cheese fellas.

[broiler]

i was too busy this weekend to put this theory to the test.  hopefully i get a chance this week.

you're such a tease

I do believe those are Hugo's "winning" lottery numbers...

Yessir.

[Flood]

Who the fuck is Hugo?

[BeefMaster]

It's from LOST.  Hugo is the fat guy - he won a lottery by using some numbers he got from a guy in a mental institution and had horrible luck from that point on.  The numbers keep showing up on the island.
