All that athleticism wasted on such a lazy sport. Strikeouts are up and on average, there is like 30 seconds between each pitch. So those great athletes will field a handful of plays per game and will get a handful of at bats per game. The rest of the time they'll be in the dugout sitting and chewing sunflower seeds or standing around waiting for something to happen. So much excitement!

What I love about it. The chance for redemption is slim and you have to make your chances count more than in any other sport. We already have about 100 derivative goal sports that showcase every type of athleticism you can think of. But in no other sport are you going to see a player throw a 105mph dart over 300 feet with pin point accuracy to nail down a runner.

Yeah, I'm definitely calling bullshit on him hitting 20 mph. I know you'll defend your fatball heroes to the death but it's pretty obvious that that isn't accurate. Shit like that can definitely vary and be innacurate btw. I've seen guys clocked at certain speeds in the local Mexican league yet are clocked at significantly lesser speeds when done in official FIFA competitions, tbh.

Doesn't change the fact that he was a World Series MVP and multiple time all-star when he was a 300 lb fatass. Really shows how unimportant physical fitness is in MLF. Good for him though. Hopefully it extends his career and he doesn't suffer the same fate that other fatball players suffer:


Dmitri Young is one of the rare players on our list to have a playing height and weight that was actually believable at 6’2” and 295 pounds. Young played for 13 seasons in the MLB with the Cardinals, Reds, Tigers and Nationals, making the All Star Game twice. During his time in Detroit, fans affectionately called Young “Da Meat Hook” and he was pretty much the only bright spot on the awful 2003 team. Young’s career ended thanks in large part to diabetes, playing his final game at 34 years old in 2008.

"It's not accurate" :cry

- Despite hundreds of thousands of dollars of high speed cameras, computer modeling, etc, etc. This ain't some hand-timed local Mexican league bullshit or even FIFA's crappy sensor gate tech, this is the most advanced statistical apparatus on the planet.

Here, let's do some math, engineer.

This behemoth ran a 5.4 40.

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR15BZQoZXuX-D5sHSViIsSwpj4a8-_86lvBIO3z1ybwGazNYyf

That time equals 22.2 feet per second, which translates to about 15 mph.

A person running a 4.4 40, which is a blazing fast time by any standard, will cover 27.2 feet per second, translating into 18.5 mph.

In Usain Bolt's WR sprint, he averaged 23.2mph over the 100 meters, peaking at a speed of 27.8mph (at the 30m mark, he was at about 27mph).

So using this example, let's assume any human's peak speed is about 20% more than their average speed over anything more than 30-40m. That would put obeseball player's peak speed at about 18mph. This math also fits with the highest in game recorded NFL sprints which top out at about 23mph (most of those CBs and WRs are 4.4ish runners, 18.5 + ~20% is about 22.2mph, but we have to remember that sprinters don't reach peak speed until about 60 yards. For instance, Bolt gained about a mile per hour from 30m to 70m. Many of the NFL tracked sprints were events like 60-70 yard pick 6s and the like).

So if that obeseball player can hit 18mph while weighing 80lb more than Sandoval, why is it inconceivable that Sandoval can hit 20mph?

Oh, I know, cuz:

"I love obeseball and hate fatball."

Biased.

Oh, and here's Sandoval in 2014. Doesn't look 300lb to me:

You keep posting pics of post-2014, when he gained a shitload of weight and has basically been on the DL ever since.

If you are stating that the technologies used by FIFA and MLB are significantly different, then there's really no reason for you to make some of the claims/comparisons you've made. It's dishonest.

Ill respond to the rest tomorrow, tbh.

No it isn't. Fifa's tracking tech is simply infrared sensor gates about 40 yards apart, meaning a player has to run through them in order to produce any results. Furthermore, the sensor gates are set up in such a way to catch a player as he's already sprinting. I'm not saying it's inaccurate, I'm saying it's limited. It probably won't catch a player from a dead stop to a sprint. No matter, the EA performance index uses high speed cameras (I don't know the details of how good their tech is, though). I'm just calling out the sensor gate tech. Here's the details on statcast:


Two systems merge to create Statcast's complete picture: the Danish company Trackman, which has a system based on missile defense technology, uses radar to measure the ball's movement by tracking the speed of the seams at 40,000 frames per second. A system operated by ChyronHego, a German company, measures the movements of the individuals on the field.

The system uses two main sensor inputs two create its stunningly precise analytics: Radar and optical cameras. A Doppler radar panel is mounted behind home plate, and takes readings of the field at the rate of 2000 samples per second. The stereoscopic camera array consists of two 5k resolution cameras mounted 15 feet apart back behind third base.

A large part of the development process wasn’t just getting the systems to calculate the data correctly, but to do the groundwork to ensure that the data collected was accurate. Much of what caused hours or even days of delay in producing the striking Statcast replay reels was verification. MLB wanted to ensure that the metrics were absolutely right.

Yeah, I think it's accurate.

Searching for details on EA's system and coming up dry. I don't doubt its results, though. Most of the fastest soccer players are about 22mph, which seems the going rate for all the fastest non-sprinter athletes. I've only seen two non-sprinter athletes break 23 mph in game. Baseball players :toast

And you're the one being dishonest in this debate. You cherry pick certain players to use as some kind of "evidence" while completely ignoring fat and or unathletic players in sports you like, like football. Lineman and kickers. "Well, kickers aren't important."

They are arguably a top 5 important player on an NFL team.


The best kicker in the league (#1 out of 32) would typically be in the top 96th percentile, which is very close to two standard deviations above average. Therefore, the best FG kicker in the league would normally be worth 2 * 0.34 = 0.68 added wins in a season.

It's hard to imagine many other positions, other than the starting QB and RB, that have such a large individual impact on a team's record.

http://archive.advancedfootballanalytics.com/2007/08/field-goal-kickers.html

Adam Vinatieri will be 45 next season, and will be a top 5 kicker in the league. His role on a team is even less active than your favorite player Bartolo Colon. So what's that say about the demands to be a star NFL player?

"I-It's different!"

:lol I bet it is.

[hater]

They should allow having a hot dog stand in the outfield of games. At least it would be slightly amusing watching the players line up to get hot dogs while trying to catch fly balls at the same time

One of Scotland's most famous clubs, Glasgow Celtic, fielded a player named Jimmy "Jinky" Johnstone. He reached 5 feet, 2 inches. The fans loved him. In the '60s and '70s, he buzzed defenses with dizzying zigzags. Big defenders employed every dirty trick to stop him - swats and hacks failed. Height jokes only provoked him to topple the tall. Nothing could repel the bite of wee Jinky. He was vital to Celtic's 1967 European Cup winning side, the first British club to achieve the feat. If he were around today, Barcelona would have him on its team.

The hell is this, a horse jockey?

This should demonstrate how easy soccer really is. You'd never, ever see a group of little people (I'll be PC here) style on a a Little League baseball team, like this Little People club does against 12 year olds. They just wouldn't be able to swing the bat with enough speed to catch up to 60mph pitches from 44 feet away. Nor could they pitch fast enough to get anyone out. The only time Little People show up in baseball is for publicity stunts.

Meanwhile, these little guys are styling and profiling on youth soccer players:
