Watch the pitchers with double digit percent decline on Spin rates and watch the stats unravel . There is some luck with pitching so it may take a few starts if someone is getting lucky with balls hit hard for outs . I love the pitcher tantrums Garrett Richards on the Sox sounds like he’s about to retire after his next start over this, ha. He’s like “I’m not a major league pitcher without some sticky shit on my hand. Have literally no idea where the ball’s going. Glad I made it this far before the crackdown started.” It is pretty funny, can tell who’s a legit pitcher and who’s not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be much more frightened of the government’s willingness to do this for such a small threat than they are of the virus.

mreaves Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 So, Yellowstone, definitely not overrated. Crowds weren’t as bad as I thought they would be until we went to Old Faithful today and even then you could go out into the Geyser Basins away from the Lodge and Visitor Center and not be crushed with people. Northwest Wyoming and the little bit of Montana we’ve been in is spectacular. Tomorrow we start the trip back east by way of Grand Teton. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always wanted to drive Beartooth Pass. Cool little summer ski area up there, though I think the heat caused a major avalanche that took most of their snowpack with it.

There’s a 14 day trip you can do where you start in Chicago and do some national park excursions. You spend a 3 overnights on the train and the other nights in a hotel. We took a train trip from Boston to San Antonio a couple summers ago to see some family, then flew back home. Pretty cool trip. 2 overnights on the train. We had a double sleep suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
