True/False you'll be stroking one out to the Gabe Kapler baseball way?

MDS · February 22, 2018, 09:10:05 AM

i've been able to stream sixers and flyers through csnphilly / nbcsports app on my TV for years for free, which is dope. saw something where I can stream the phillies tomorrow too....is this something new? anyone know if all phillies games will be on nbc philly? in years past they were not.

MDS · February 23, 2018, 04:01:12 PM

today kapler had a massive shift in the outfield where joseph (playing LF) was almost where the CF would be

against a RIGHT HANDED batter!!

guess what happened....ball ripped into left field for a double

ice grillin you · February 27, 2018, 02:06:19 PM

here it is...again this is against a righty

Rome · February 27, 2018, 03:03:43 PM

But his scatter dispersion charts are infallible!

MDS · February 27, 2018, 09:22:59 PM

i think they decided they were going to do it before the game against that guy because he was some scrub A ball kid...whatever its spring training

Rome · February 28, 2018, 07:53:43 AM

He intends to pull this shtein in games that count.

This is Chip Kelly Part Deux.

MDS · February 28, 2018, 09:02:04 AM

its not kaplar its the entire organization

and if the data is telling you player x is very unlikely to hit the ball to RF why not put your worst defender (hoskins)....in RF?

ice grillin you · February 28, 2018, 09:04:22 AM

you wanna not have a left fielder for a 100% pull hitting left handed batter then fine...thats no different than an infield shift

but you dont ever ever ever not have a left fielder for a right handed batter or vice versa....a farging chimpanzee knows this

Rome · February 28, 2018, 09:08:27 AM

But the data, IGY.

THE fargING DATA!

right, sure. thanks for your astute observation.

i think they, again, did that for that batter specifically as a test run since it was the weakest batter in the lineup. it was an exhibition game.
