Read the game thread. It's worth it.

When I saw JJ in spring against StL the stadium gun had him at 95. I'm not worried about if it's there, I'm worried about where it's gone. A strong breeze will fuck him up. It's not outlandish to think he's hurt again, yet was healthy in the spring.

Stadium radar guns are kind of useless.

[Metes]

What page to start?

Stadium radar guns are kind of useless.

Can be useless*

Yeah, I didn't read the game thread but I'm gonna guess that tr305 was mad

Yea. And I sold all my tickets for $20.

[Mainge]

What page to start?

I don't remember.

[Party]

So who the hell do we trust if we can't trust stadium guns or pitch f/x?

[Metes]

I'm going to cook dinner instead of read. Sorry, Mainge.

[Swifty]

Stadium radar guns are kind of useless.

But some website's is never to be doubted...?

[Mainge]

To be honest Metes, maybe you shouldn't read it. It was worth it to me because I find fun in tr305 being tr305. You may not.

[Jorge18]

I'll be at Joe Robbie protesting tomorrow if anyone wants to join.

Well, I'd still stick with my statement for the most part.

JJ's velocity was down on average by something like .9 MPH from last year to his first start this year. It was down by about .3 from last start to this start. So people are expressing worry over differences that technically cannot be picked up by stadium radar guns, since they express velocity in whole numbers.

Who said we cannot trust pitch f/x?

[Party]

I trust that guy behind homeplate. He looks trustworthy.

[Bobbob1313]

But some website's is never to be doubted...?

Well, considering they get their information from the official PitchF/X data at every stadium, I think so.

Can you express why you think I should not trust that over the stadium radar gun at a Single A affiliate during spring training?

[Mainge]

If I felt the need to go back and average all of JJs fastballs, I too would get a decimal.
