Yet, I know more about the past present and future than you do.
Oh...except, no, I have not memorized the Fuck Michigan U roster.
Why? Well, because: Fuck Michigan.

Gotta love the smart comebacks. I may introduce my 5 year old nephew to the forum. He'd fit perfectly.

Good ole Gip "I am right, my opinion is fact, and no evidence you can provide will prove differently because I have the best type of evidence, anecdotal."
Good ole Gip "I am right, my opinion is fact, and no evidence you can provide will prove differently because I have the best type of evidence, anecdotal."
You have not provided ANY evidence. .....YOURs is just YOUR opinion, anecdotal.
You do understand that I know what evidence is, do you?
Your evidence is: a game exists called soccer that I like better. This is merely an opinion based argument.
Maybe I should link you to the rules of evidence so that you can learn how to present some.

I'm saying that there are so many games, innings and pitches in baseball, that although in each pitch can happen something interesting (just like in any sport), the repercussion in the season is less important.
Let's say you are only a hitter, and don't hit the ball in a pitch. Don't worry, because you have 3 strikes to be out, and 2 of your team mates must be out too to end the inning, and you have 9 innings. So if the pitcher made a perfect game, it would be 3x3x9, which is 81 plays in a game (with no balls, we have a perfect pitcher here), so each chance you have represents 1,23% of the game (in a game with a perfect pitcher).
Now let's look at the season: 162 games. That means that every game represents 0,62% of the season. So each pitch represents (0,0062 x 0,0123) = 7,59 x 10 e-5. And that's counting perfect pitchers in every game. In American Football, the 2012 Patriots had 74 snaps per game. You know how much each snap represents? 8,44 x10e-5. (You take 1 and divide by 74 and 16 games).
So every snap in American Football is already 10 times more important than each pitch of the MLB if it had perfect pitchers.Again....just a display of lack of understanding of the game. Baseball is played every day....162 games. Football only plays 16 games (for now). Soccer is only a once a week sport mostly. It is just the nature of the sport. Your argument seems to be that the more touches of the ball somehow dissipates each touch.
Or, you could look at it as baseball has 10 more times the opportunities for something exciting to happen.
And maybe what you also don't understand is that those game where on few of those "touches" result nothing happen....may be among the most exciting plays in the game. There may be nothing more intense and exciting than a good pitchers duel. Again the duel word comes into play. Each at bat is a duel, pitcher vs. batter. And pitcher vs. pitcher duels can be as exciting as the Earps vs. Clanton.

Woah, cowboy. I don't like it, but I understand the game. I've seen baseball videos on Youtube, but I would only assist a game if it was live in the US. No f***ing way I'm watching it at late night in Spain in the TV.
We watch sports to be entertained. I already said that I prefer American Football, and one of the reasons is that it undeniably has packed more action than baseball does, that was my point. It wasn't an anti baseball rant. To each its own, as I said.
And I tried to simplify to the limit my math, considering a perfect pitchers' MBL, because at some point it is about scoring points and you only do that by hitting the ball** and to state my point I wanted the hipothesis with less plays. I know that a pitching battle is a thrill, mostly because there are hundreds of stats, the pitch count etc, but it didn't favor making a simple math example of why baseball is less "action packed" than many sports. And in my example I didn't put soccer because it has a running clock, so there's a very gray area about what is really a play and you cannot use pure math.
**NOTE: Don't dare you go tangent to the subject and say that you can get a run not hitting the ball. I know you can, but it is not (or should not be) the main goal of the sport. -

You may have a peripheral understanding of the game....But to say that nothing happens on 90% is just wrong. (or maybe that was not you).

It is NOT just about scoring points necessarily. Just like in Football....it is also about preventing the other team from scoring. And just like in football your defense wants to limit the number of "plays" (in baseball terms...it is at bats). A 13-10 football game can be a very exciting defensive matchup, just like a 2-1 game. Sure. 58-48 football game and 14-13 baseball game can be exciting....but the POINT is to score more points than the other team, and limiting the other team from scoring helps that.
I know that a pitching battle is a thrill, mostly because there are hundreds of stats, the pitch count etc, but it didn't favor making a simple math example of why baseball is less "action packed" than many sports.
Well....actually, Math is what many people think makes baseball a much MORE exciting sport. There is probably no sport on earth that is more math oriented. And they have come up with all kinds of new mathematical based stats for baseball which, to be honest, I don't understand much. Baseball probably appeals more to "Nerds" than any other sport. FYI, in this country. it was common for teachers, grade school level in particular, to use baseball stats as an exercise to make math problems more interesting.
And just look at all the stats that exist in baseball:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_statistics
And in my example I didn't put soccer because it has a running clock, so there's a very gray area about what is really a play and you cannot use pure math.
Well....here also are a couple of the beautiful;interesting things about baseball: A. It may be the only team sport that does not use a clock. As Yogi said: "Its over when its over" (not when some clock runs out) (though sure, sports like golf and tennis don't have official clocks). B. It may be the only sport where the defense controls the ball. (though maybe cricket is similar that way)
I do understand that in all the "goal" clone games: Soccer/hockey/water polo/European handball/ field hockey /lacrosse that "plays" are less well defined, particularly than in football.

back in the day, my cousin ran motorcross, had some pretty back wrecks, a couple were caused by other riders. I didn't care for it - he ended up with a few months of recovery - so I stayed with enduroes - 2.5 hrs of riding down dry or whte water creek beds down mountains, through miles of woods...down rail road ties with no rails, through giant mudholes, through flooded dirt roads, etc etc.
I know, because I was riding way too fast on a mountain ridge in Virginia, trying to catch up with my cousin, but someone had wrecked and tore down the red warning ribbon. So, splashing through mountain laurel blooms, no warning ribbon, I went off a mountain ridge and hit a tree about ten feet on the ground.
Sprained by back pretty bad, the bike landed on me - not one tree had any sympathy for me, so pretending to be hurt wouldn't have worked anyways. I never could get the bike off me til a clean up crew of two riders came by up the mountain, saw the ribbon gone, and searched for me. I actually had to ride about six miles to a dirt road, and I don't remember how far down the dirt road back to the start.
And, I was in the Air Force, and had to drive back to Ohio to be at work the next morning. I made it.
and THAT was more fun than soccer.
You get banged up enough without pretended to be hurt. And usually, you are miles from the nearest other human being, so pretending wouldn't do any good anyways. LOL
Soccer is like no-ice hockey - I just don't appreciate it. It's boring and/or aggravating most of the time. Unless it's watching kids play - that is fun.
Fishing and not catching anything because a cold front is coming in, and the wind keeps grabbing at your canoe...
that is really far more exciting than soccer. Just my opinion.
Football is special. Controlled team play from snaps of the ball, a war of 11 on 11, or in the case of playing the squeelers, 11 on 11+1 squeeler fan referee. lol
Someone else gets it! So cool. I was oh so close to making it big time in supercross/motocross, but in the end, I just wasn't talented enough and I didn't work near hard enough to over come it. We're talking '84 here, so no coaches or internet to help show me the way and since I was the fastest in my area, no one to chase to push my undisciplined 17yr old self during the week.
Man, I'm glad I know that you've ridden and raced, and it was great talking about a real sport on this thread!

I was no good at motorcross - I'd been around the track - it was my version of dangerous skydiving - except skydiving I never did because... well... the wreck if you have one is way too violent for me. I rode my suzuki 250... and my cousin's Penton handled so much better.
Still, I had had enough of having a bad knee all my life - I didn't want to wreck the rest of me. I ran a hare scramble once - it was like a low budget slower motorcross, lol, I wrecked once, but finished strong...and a pretty gal gave me a picture of me up in the air on the biggest jump...later on at the next enduro. It was her hobby - her boyfriend ran motorcross too.
I saw how dang high I was, and quit that too. I loved fast trail riding - I rose to the level of my competence and stayed non-back injured.
My cousin won a bet once - a friend bet him he couldn't ride his street honda 750 around the motorcross track. He did. 50 bucks. lol

"The biggest concern with Peoples-Jones at the next level is how consistently he can beat press coverage and if he has enough quick-twitch qualities to be a consistent separator."
This is what concerns me the most. You can teach a guy to run better routes and maybe show him some technical things to beat a press cover or to help him potentially get open. But if a guy can't fake out a defender I have never heard of that skill-set being taught so that he suddenly learns how to do it. If the quickness (as opposed to speed) and twitch isn't there it ain't going to grow on him.
That isn't to say he won't be a good 3rd receiver. He reminds me in a way of Antonio Callaway. I thought Callaway's twitch and ability to get a step through deception was bad. But his speed was very good and, importantly, his quickness, was very good. I could be wrong but I don't see quickness in DP-J's route-running, and the analysis confirms this. But where he will be better than Callaway is his size and his ability to fight and come down with the ball, which is fantastic. So he will be a capable 3rd receiver, imo.
Which brings up a question. Has anyone heard what the hell Higgins did that put him in 2 Browns' FO doghouses?
This is what concerns me the most.
If the quickness (as opposed to speed) and twitch isn't there it ain't going to grow on him.

Watching his highlights, to me he looks more like a long stride fast runner, than a sprinter. I mean, it looks like he has a nice top speed, but he doesn't reach it as fast as other players (and THAT is a threatening trait).

Which is interesting, given his broad and vert, you'd think he'd be pretty explosive. May be a route running technique thing.
I don't think he could have a better WR room to be in though with Jarvis and Odell (maybe one with Fitz haha)

It is interesting, but maybe those skills are not corelated. Back to soccer, Messi in his prime I would say had one of the fastest 0 to 100 sprint in soccer, and height doesn't help but I wouldn't say he has the best broad and vert ever.
DPJ is now a Brown so let's hope he earns his spot and contributes. He definitely has a nice WR room to look up to and at the same time joining such a couple must instantly make you more humble on your skills lol. -

I deal with it playing soccer myself. At 6'4" it takes me longer to get going that someone that's 5'9", but once I have my strides going I can match (generally speaking)

Centerback and I've picked up goalie the last few years. When your wingspan covers the indoor goal, or you can dive out in front of someone and block 8', you're good lol. But most of my life before that is winning headers and bodying little guys.
I don't have the endurance for midfield. Asthma is a bitch.
No striker. I enjoy shutting other people down more than I enjoy scoring, honestly.
How about you?
Oh and I'm just soccer big. Not big big haha.

Which is what was amazing about Josh Gordon. The guy had both long strides and was quick with them. If you look closely at his breaks he could break a defender's ankles by using his long strides, he didn't have to take shorter, quick steps to change direction.

6'4"? Fuck me. I'm glad that I have never said any real hurtful thing about TTUN and I have the Atlantic Ocean between us. Striker, defender? Don't tell me you play midfield.
Centerback and I've picked up goalie the last few years. When your wingspan covers the indoor goal, or you can dive out in front of someone and block 8', you're good lol. But most of my life before that is winning headers and bodying little guys.
I don't have the endurance for midfield. Asthma is a bitch.
No striker. I enjoy shutting other people down more than I enjoy scoring, honestly.
How about you?
Oh and I'm just soccer big. Not big big haha.

Goalie with 6' 4'' is great. I had asthma when I was a kid but never more after puberty.
I'm really bad at soccer, so in normal soccer I would play defender (haven't played in ages), I enjoyed shutting people down. Now for some years I've only played futsal and I play as a striker simply because I'm not either phisically or technically good so there's where less harmful I can be for my team: in futsal you have to sprint constantly and is way different to soccer, with more technique and moving around. I fight, I try to not make mistakes, I cheer and that's about it.
And yeah, I'd say you're soccer big. Not only in Spain we have less average height than in the US (I'm 5'9'' myself), but I don't see many people at 6'4'' or taller playing soccer unless they are centerback, goalie or a striker. I only recall Ibrahimovic being a very agile at 6'5'', but from that point onwards most of the people are "clunky" for soccer.

My favorite player growing up was Oguchi Onyewu. Big ass centerback. Played on the US team.
Also, I'm terrible at futsal. The less players on the field the worse I get as a field player (but better I get at goalie haha).
I'd also imagine the Spanish version of "really bad at soccer" is still above average in the States haha.
