My best advice is to watch the ball out of the pitcher's hand and ignore your PCI. And use one of the more zoomed in hitting cameras.

I still don't understand how people watch it coming out of the hand lol. I tried doing that and have no clue what I'm looking for. Any advice would be appreciated.

I hit pretty well on all-star already (.390 average in 5 online games) but I'm going to move up later on and would love to better master hitting
 
Tomorrow's Jays game vs Atlanta has been pushed back a half hour to a 7:30 ET/4:30 PT start to deal with the issues they've had in Dunedin with the sun being in the OFs eyes for 7/4 starts.

Interesting stuff.

That video is the binary way of doing it, but now that advanced stuff is a lot more prominent and available I'm surprised no one has developed a stat that grades each individual PA on a scale of 1-100 based on LA/EV which would then produce an average hitter (or pitcher) score across the league. Would need to be park and QoC adjusted but it would be a very easy to understand grade of a player's overall performance.

What I'd be interested to know about the above video is if a hard hit ball and a walk should be the exact same value. A walk is obviously a 1.000 OBP (very good!), whereas the 2018 hard hit data I'm looking at gives an AVG/SLG split of .524/1.047. On a purely isolated statistical view you'd say a walk is far more valuable (in an isolated scenario I'd count the walk as a single and give it a 2.000 OPS compared to the 1.071 OPS for a hard hit ball), but the maximum number of runs you can score from a walk is 1, so at least to me you'd rather have 20 hard hit balls in a game than 20 walks.
 
Gotta wonder how effective Teoscar is gonna be after having to battle COVID. It seems to hit athletes harder, probably because they need their bodies to be completely optimial. Jason Tatum of the Celtics still needs oxygen inhalers to function properly and Cam Newton admitted he had a hard time dealing with the brain fog and other residual effects.

Shame Springer is also coming back from injury because I would say just put him at DH

Reactions: Kurtz
Alomar's Hall of Fame banner and Level of Excellence name being taken down at Rogers Centre. That this happened immediately after, and in concert with MLB's decision to put him on the ineligible list is pretty telling.
 
Given what the previous allegations a decade ago were, we can probably take a pretty good guess at what happened here. And if that's the case and is confirmed, this could become a very big story.

That said, I'm not totally sold on the notion of un-retiring numbers or erasing history even if he killed someone.

Yeah maybe he's a terrible person and we don't need to praise him but he did have an 'excellent' playing stint in Toronto, seems a bit extreme to strip all that away
I wonder what the implications are for #12.
