That's a pretty obnoxious picture size there.

Chipper said we're gonna win, so I guess this whole "game" thing is pretty much a formality.

Re: 9/19 - 9/28 Game Discussion Thread

Chipper also set the tone a couple weeks ago when he said, basically, that we don't need to win the games against (whoever it was).

That's when this collapse started.

The '96 Yankees? The '97 Marlins? The '98 Padres? The '99 Yankees? The '00 Cardinals? The '01 Diamondbacks? The '02 Giants? The '03 Cubs? The '04 Astros? The '05 Astros? Even Chipper must get them confused sometimes.

Re: 9/19 - 9/28 Game Discussion Thread

I knew Mike Stanton's first home run last night wasn't all that far.


First home run: 408 feet




Second home run: 461 feet





Although, there's a difference between a home run being distant and a home run being impressive. 408 feet down the right field line is like a 480 foot bomb to dead center. It was unbelievable!

EDIT: I'm just starting watching the games right now, so I'm still watching pre-game on the Marlins broadcast... and it has the announcers disproving that the first ball went only 408 feet. How are they doing it? They have their sideline reporter sitting where the ball went, and from a viewfinder noting that she is 127 yards from home plate (381 feet), so she says it's hard to believe the ball could have only traveled 30 more feet to land at ground level when measuring the true distance. What the cold bitch doesn't realize is that she measured off the hypotenuse length of a triangle, not its base. That distance would probably be closer to 365 feet or so, where that blue marker is. Since the ball's horizontal velocity decreases significantly as it's going downward compared to as it's going upward, an extra 45 feet on the ball at that height sounds pretty appropriate, if not maybe 50 feet or so.

Just some scientific input lol.

What in THE hell is with Mike Morse's warm-up swings? It looks, um, a little douche-y?

The Phillies' hitting needs to wake up in time for the postseason. I don't know when it decided to hibernate for the winter, but one or two runs might not do it this year.

Since the GIF host exceeded bandwidth or whatever, I'm just gonna say that I loathe you for this.

They'll be just fine. The main thing is to finish ahead of the Brew and to be healthy. The first objective will be accomplished and the second remains to be seen, but they'll need to approach that intelligently.

Man, my hate for Brad Penny is a notch below my hate for the Buckeyes. Every time I see him pitch he gets lit up like a christmas tree, better be gone next year. Guess his lack of talent transferred over to Below.

What a effort by Delgado

Re: 9/19 - 9/28 Game Discussion Thread

Love the way we responded after what happened last night, and in the first inning of this game.

Delgado was huuuuuge.

yeah, but once again another Braves pitcher not named Hudson only goes 5 innings
