I can find stats like that all over the league.
.....so you are suggesting there was no advantage to knowing what is coming? Every talking head in baseball says there is. Hell there are videos on ESPN covering it right now. The only folks I hear that say there is no significant advantage are Stros fans.Last edited by Smart; 01-17-2020, 04:00 PM.

Once again, sign stealing isn't the issue. If I want to look into your daughter's bedroom window, but can't see it from the ground, is it OK if I get a drone to do it?
You homers keep bringing up the PED sandal to justify the electronic sign stealing/buzzer tip-off scandal.
You don't think it's beneficial to a batter to KNOW what pitch is fixing to be thrown? Maybe that should be the punishment. The pitchers from the offending teams have to tell the batter what every pitch will be for a few seasons.
Like I said before, baseball isn't for everybody, it's kinda cerebral. Arena Football is fixing to start up, or maybe Japanese wrestling would better suit you.

See a 98-100 mph pitcher when they don't have any movement on their FB or they don't have control of their changeup/BP that day an the batters can sit back and hit the only pitch they can get over for a strike. If they know what is coming you have removed a pitchers main defense against them.....deception. It's would be like a BP pitcher sitting up there calling their pitches during batting practice.
I can now say I debated with a TBH celebrity

Exactly....Originally posted by diamond10x View PostJust because you know what pitch is coming doesn’t guarantee anything. Guys know what pitch is coming all the time because they are a student of the game but that doesn’t mean they’re going to hit a home run or get on base.

Nobody said anything about guarantees?....is that really the sword you want to fall on? HOFs fail 70% of the time. Folks wash out at 80% failure. The ability to see the ball and make that decision in a split second separates the HOFs from the nobodies. A professional has won **** near half the battle when he gains that extra split second of time not having to know what the pitch is..
A student of the game doesn't help you when Verlander pulls the string against any of his tendencies. Knowing he's pulling the string before the pitch **** sure does.
