Ah-Doyyy: ESPN President Realizes That a Sports Network Probably Shouldn't Be Interjecting Politics Into Every Other Segment
Woke-Broke: The Legendary Journeys.
Jim Geraghty quotes from an LA Times piece on ESPN's president:"Without question our data tells us our fans do not want us to cover politics," Pitaro said. "My job is to provide clarity. I really believe that some of our 'talent' [ironic quotes added by me] was confused on what was expected of them. If you fast-forward to today, I don't believe they are confused."I believe these jocksniffers still are confused, but maybe more about their barely-suppressed homoerotic achings for athletes' puds than about their need to provide leftwing color commentary after every fly ball. Geraghty notes that "some of the most politically-active sports commentators have moved on to other things." Lesser things. Heard from Keith Olbermann lately?

Hey, no kidding, jock-sniffers! People who are interested in an analysis of the Tigers' most recent loss really do not need or want you going off onto outside subjects such as politics or even cooking. If I wanted to hear about cooking I'd have tuned into the food channel, if I wanted insanity MSNBC.

Get MLB.TV. You get to decide what feed you get, the home or the visitors', and even multiple audio feeds. When the announcers start thinking it's all about them, and indulge in "happy talk" about their golf games or their favorite bathhouses, I switch to just the game audio. Beautiful.

Today on my local fake news: Boston: A 1-Year Old Baby Is Hit By A Police Cruiser
It's on street surveillance camera. The cruiser is parked on the street behind another car, which show the other car's occupants outside their car doing stuff. The cruiser pulls out and drives off.
Lo and behold there's a child roaming into the street between the two cars and gets hit by the cruiser, gets knocked down.
A passerby runs over screaming and tends to the kid. The cruiser stops and the cop gets out see whatthefuck.
This alerts the mother of the child, and she runs over to her child, looks at the kid, and then runs towards the cop walking towards her. She does a flying body slam maneuver and bounces off the cop. Then runs back to her kid.
IT WAS HER FAULT. She's a terrible mother.
Anyway, the toddler had a broken collar bone, nothing else.

Agreed. I think the political BS hastened their demise, but I think technology and other factors left them doomed, anyway. Thirty years ago, I watched SportsCenter, because where else could I get all the scores and highlights? Now, on my phone, I can get all the scores while the games are happening, and I can get all the highlights minutes later.
Also 30 years ago, I had to listen to ESPN's choice of what to show on SportsCenter and when to show it. So even though I think baseball is duller than paint drying, I had to suffer through all that talk. Now, if I want to hear about hockey, I turn to the NHL Network, for golf, there's the Golf Channel, etc. You also get far better in-depth analysis on other channels exclusively devoted to those sports, instead of halfwits like Dickie V or Barry Melrose, given 2 minutes to clown it up, before moving on to the next topic.

You don't make a difference reporting baseball scores or crime statistics. You have to goose 'em a bit, provide "context," and make sure you're afflicting and comforting the right people yadda yadda yadda.

I hate that phrase. Because it's something only a total fucking retard would cite as a positive.
It has nothing to do with "making things better" which at least is oriented toward something positive (even if one could argue about the details). But "making a difference" is simply changing the status quo. So when Mao started up the Great Leap Forward, that was certainly "making a difference", even if 10s of millions fucking starved to death because of it.

I coached Dixie Youth Girls and the first time I coached the all-stars in fast pitch, I had a college girl pitcher come to show them some gas. At the end of batting practice the girls urged me to take a cut at it and I almost lost my face. First pitch, 60MPH breaking ball. I saw the button and my body thought breaking down and away like baseball. Wrong, backwards spin so it climbed up and in as I leaned over for the outside edge. Yikes. It's bad when all your instincts at the plate are wrong.

Amen! Especially with ESPN. Your cable provider is paying far more to carry ESPN than any other cable channel. And if that isn't enough, they also coerce the provider to also take shit channels like ESPN Classic and ESPN News. If customers could see this info on a menu, and choose what they wanted, these lesser channels would die off, and ESPN would either have to cut their cost, or lose a lot of subscribers.

I had the same success with hardball as with softballs. That's because I was never able to focus well on things moving fast, so when the pitcher released I just closed my eyes and swung as hard as I could. Sometimes I'd get a piece of it.
I didn't say I was a very good ballplayer.

I heard two different women during the 2nd round on NBC Sports. One wasn't too bad, but the one doing Dallas Stars during the first couple was TERRIBLE. She sounded like someone was writing her copy and handing to her to read. She had no inflection at all and was VERY robotic.
They ended up replacing her by game 5.

Very sneaky that. Just when you shortened up for the fastball, boom, your on your front foot desperately trying to hold the bat back.

It is played between two teams of 15 players on a rectangular grass
pitch. The objective of the sport is to score by kicking or punching the
ball into the other team's goals (3 points) or between two upright posts above the goals and over a crossbar 2.5 metres (8.2ft) above the ground (1 point).
Players advance the football, a spherical leather ball, up the
field with a combination of carrying, bouncing, kicking, hand-passing,
and soloing (dropping the ball and then toe-kicking the ball upward into
the hands).

I hate that kind of shit. It says absolutely nothing about softball v. baseball. Softball uses a totally different arm slot, different delivery, different trajectory. and different distance from what baseball guys are accustomed to.
That's why guys who can't throw very hard sometimes make it to MLB as "knucklescrapers," i.e., guys throwing in a submarine-type delivery.
Whenever some clowns go in for grrrrlll power, they always have baseball players batting against a chick softball pitcher. They almost NEVER have the converse.

238 The other awkward pitch from the girls is the changeup. Because they are sweeping down, they can take a full speed arm motion, and then scrub 20 MPH off it by letting their arm rub on their body at the release.

The prosecutors acknowledged in a court filing and verbally to the judge yesterday that their warrants were defective and the cameras the sherriff placed in the massage parlors were a massive violation of fourth amendment rights. "Obviously, we apologize to those people" said the prosecutor in the middle of criminal prosecutions of those he wanted to to exclude from his apology. No word yet if they apologized for what looks like a blatant attempt to extort a guilty plea from Kraft, "or else we might have to release your videos, and we would hate to do that..." (paraphrase).

If your experience is with baseball, you look in the wrong spot for the ball, and then you have only 40 feet to pick it up out of the hand of a girl jumping at you on the release. It doesn't matter that it is only going 50 or 60 mph.

why not bring in some men's fast pitch pros? because they'd crush her after the second pitch, when they picked up her speed.

Definitely. It's almost a different game. My understanding is that most hitting in fast-pitch softball is not take a full cut, but rather take a short chop and run like hell to first base, which is only 60 feet away.
You could do that in baseball, too. If you like grounding out constantly.

It's worse than that, even. Hitting relies on reflexes - not higher cognitive function - and you're accustomed to certain types of trajectories. Notice the girls in the clip linked above talk about throwing rising fast balls. Now NO baseball pitch EVER rises; some just drop, from gravity, less than others, which creates the illusion that they rise, but none of them ever do. It's basic physics; when you throw overhand, the ball necessarily is dropping with time. But a ball thrown underhand CAN rise, because it can be thrown on an upward trajectory.
So hitting a pitch that is moving in the opposite fashion from what you've spent years developing reflexes to hit is tough.

Very true. I watched the X-Games once or twice but couldn't take the silliness and stupidity of it all. A bunch of skate punks smelling up the mountain. And this crap with "the grab"!!! Who gives a shit how these worms are grabbing their skis or boards or whatever. Do the friggin acrobatics like adults.
The only think out of all the X-game shit worth watching is the half pipe and the big air - and even those you have to silence out all the bullshit "grab" crap and just take the silly scoring as part of the fact that it's still not a real athletic event but still just a show, at this point.

Well, like Olbermann they seemed to have stopped actually liking the sports and are rather using the fact that they have a mic and a camera to do what they really want to do- which is advocate for their pet issues.

It's kinda funny how, because of some societal factors (including Title IX), our women will be really good at a sport - right up until the time other nations actually start playing. It's already started to happen in soccer. In 10 years, we'll be a second rate nation, just like we've become in women's golf and tennis.

It's fun but I don't like standing that close to the plate. The balls are still coming off those double walled aluminum bats at 100+MPH. I've seen a pitcher take one to the nose without even a twitch of reaction. Down like a sack of potatoes.

Periodically we get NFL players out (usually rehabbing) where we hold our weekly baseball practice. Once they accepted my invitation to take some hacks in BP.
One guy had obviously never played baseball. He held the bat cross-handed (i.e., backwards), and once we corrected him, watched him miss the first half dozen pitches by a foot. Then he got dialed in, and started hitting bomb after bomb (and he wasn't a very big guy; probably 5'10", 190 lbs.).
It was one of the most impressive athletic feats I've ever seen. His reflexes and eye-hand coordination were incredible to pick up the knack that quickly.

They hit 72 with fast pitch, which they say is the "equivalent" from 45 feet as 95 is from 60.

Just because they're bleeding revenue from every orifice doesn't mean they've learned anything.
