2014 Season of Shenanigans

[HollywoodLeo]

Last I looked though, which admittedly was years ago before the new dead ball era, there was very little difference between pitch counts of high strikeout pitchers and low ones. Very few pitchers induce a first couple of pitches in play contact, especially for outs (and if not an out, those are just more pitches, while strikeouts are outs)

That might be something interesting to look into if I ever have the time and get bored enough.

But if you want to dissect the "trolling" in here...how do you know Porter was agitated, annoyed, or anything?

Unless somebody makes it painfully obvious through cursing and personal insults, or just plain spelling it out you can't in any way possible discern somebody's mood when reading your post on the internet and replying to it. But that doesn't seem to stop people from trying to do so and pretending to have done so successfully.

well, anything, because there was a response to the contrary of my post which was all I was looking for? It may have been amusement for all I know, but there was a reaction and a response.

What do sea mammals have to do with pitching?

For a grammar/spelling nazi Mach sure does love to purposely (porpoisely?) misspell a bunch of words.

Irrelephant is another one of his favorites. (Or favourites....he likes to put the European U in a lot of words, even ones that the Europeans don't do)

And that brings us full circle. If the only thing you're looking for is a response of any form then I fail to comprehend the appeal.

But to each their own.

I can't resist animal puns. Animal puns even take precedence over proper grammar. We should just ban irrelevant and purpose and replace them with the puns.

You guise are a hoot!

because of this:

because it was 90 degrees and I had run out of things to do and wasn't ready to go to bed yet.

The appeal was because I was bored and that was the easiest way to alleviate it. And it's led to this conversation at a point where I'm bored at work, so it definitely had a fantastic return on investment.

Can trolling be considered a hobby?

[Mach]

you could even say it served its...porpoise.

Can trolling be considered a hobby?

I think so. Just about anything can be a hobby, can't it?

Only 5 games for Machado lol. So MLB is saying that throwing a bat intentionally is basically the same as beaning a guy on purpose. OK.

Not to mention "accidently" knocking a catcher out of the game on the backswing... not once... but twice.

Tommy John claims another victim, and this time it's not a pitcher. Matt Wieters is scheduled to undergo the surgery
