There are two ways one can know if they have bruxism, the first is after your partner complains about the constant grinding the second is you notice that following a night’s rest you get and have a terrible ache in your jaws and a throbbing, persistent headache. If this is you, get a checkup by a dental profesional.

Zack,

I’m sure it’s way to late for you to notice this, but…
It’s falling a foot less than an idealized spinless pitch.

It’s not rising from when it leaves the pitchers hand, but it’s falling LESS than expected. All of these numbers are relative to a theoretical spinless pitch – Ignoring air resistance on that pitch.

Sorry, I don’t really understand the numbers that are being thrown around about Jepsen’s pitches. Are you saying that his fastball is rising over a foot? I don’t mean to sound trollish, but I don’t really believe that’s possible. I’d love to hear more about how these measurements are created, and if I’m totally missing the point I’d love to hear how. Thanks.

I think that Sean was talking to me. Maybe I have exciting confused with great, but that was played in football weather. It’s a matter of personal taste, I suppose, but I don’t care for players wearing Elmer Fudd hats.

low strikes were basically a coin flip, and the left edge of the plate was about 4 inches wider than it should be.

Fuentes was so stupid with that AB. He got A-Rod 0-2 by pitching him in. Why the hell did he then throw a fastball up and away? You know, where probably 500 of his more than 600 regular and post-season homers have been hit off of. Why not throw a slider in the dirt? Why not another inside heater?

There was no apology here, nor was one necessary.

Again: it may be easier to argue when you don’t comprehend what you’re reading, but it doesn’t make the arguments better.

Where did he say he was wrong? He said the previous game was boring (it was). He then contrasted it with the following game, which wasn’t. His opinion didn’t change, but the nature of the games did.

What does Carson need to apologize for again? If you were personally offended by Carson’s opinion that game one was uninteresting, you should probably just stay off the Internet entirely.
