Riggo#44 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 "Bunch of ****ing losers. ****ing Rocky, is your hero. The whole pride of your city is based around a guy who doesn't even exist. ****ing Joe Frazier is from there, but he's black so you can't ****ing deal with him, so you make a ****ing statue for some three-foot Italian, you stupid, Philly cheese-eating ****ing jackasses" Can I make that sign for April 2? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I want Max's first pitch to be a high heater within 6" of Harper's chin to let him know he's not our friend anymore. Then proceed to strike him out with fastballs up and away and sliders down and in. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then proceed to strike him out with fastballs up and away and sliders down and in. He knows EXACTLY where to put that slider with two strikes, right at that back foot. Here's a interesting tidbit that Philly will get REAL used to, REAL quick: Harper two strike splits: After 0-2: .181/.212/.319 (Career: .182 /.183/.271) After 1-2: .185/.251/.346 (Career: .163 /.162/.280) After 2-2: .209/.327/.390 (Career: .182/.182/.331) With 2 strikes: .192/.289/.343 (Career: .192/.289/.343) Juan Soto on the other hand: After 0-2: .222/.300/.444 After 1-2: .223/.304/.364 After 2-2: .254/.397/.402 With 2 strikes: .212/.333/.363 Edited March 5, 2019 by Riggo#44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about that font used for "phillies" unsettles me...it looks like the unholy aftermath of eating Taco Bell when everything comes out like soft-serve ice cream. I don't like baseball so I have no skin in the game, but I don't think we should be criticizing anyone logos. The nationals straight up stole theirs from Walgreens.

Btw, today's game against Boston is on Masn and replay tonight (though I think at like 11:30) Edit: Wow, Harper for 18 was .151/.280/.576 Betts for 18 was .300/.545/.922!!!!

No, it also includes a full count. With a full count, Harper has an outstanding .248/.527/.485, as opposed to Soto's .217/.509/.275. Which I think makes Harper's 2-strike numbers even worse...

I think part of that is also Soto being cautious last year. Instead of thinking of going for it at full count, Soto might have thought let's take the sure walk. I think it's gonna be really fun to see how Soto does in his sophomore year. He's been raking in spring training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been raking in spring training. Soto had a ton of called third strikes against him, many on balls a half inch off the plate. He’ll get better at knowing which ones to take a cut at as he gets older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Senators (now Twins) used the single W dating back to early 1900's http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/1813/Washington_Senators The second Senators (now Rangers) used the curly W (the one that Nationals now use) in the 1960's http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/79/Washington_Senators/ Walgreen logo history is here https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Walgreens The singular W didn't appear until the 2000's apparently. The cursive W isn't the most original thing in the world. Let's not accuse one company of ripping off logo from the other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchetwound Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Can I ask a question since I'm not a baseball fan and clearly don't know the teams history. Why arn't they the Washington Senators again? According to bearrock, they were the senators not once but twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchetwound Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Last post about the logo, then I'll shut up.

Why arn't they the Washington Senators again? According to bearrock, they were the senators not once but twice. So, interestingly, there was a baseball team in the 1800's named the Nationals in DC. When the new team in the then American League was established in DC in 1901, the team's official name was the Senators, but people used Nationals to refer to the local baseball team and people used both Senators and Nationals for the DC baseball team. The dual moniker was widely used to an extent where newspaper stories would use both names for the local baseball team and even baseball cards would print the team name as either, depending on the card company. When the Senators left for Minnesota and new team was established, they pushed the Senators moniker harder, so they were the Senators. When the Lerner brought baseball back to DC in the 2000's, I think they chose the Nationals, one because the name does have roots in DC baseball. Also, by the 21st century, the opinion of anything related to politics and congress was toxic enough that Nationals is a better team name than the Senators (2nd is obviously pure speculation on my part). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
