  1. Can’t say I’ve watched all their games but I have watched a few. The game they won in overtime against the Bruins on the weekend they were outplayed pretty badly and lucky to steal the win there. Boston of course fed them their lunch again yesterday. Reading the Leafs boards on hf is hilarious. The fans are fed up with the team and turning onto coaching, management, and players.
  2. My iPhone can’t detect my home wifi network while other devices can. My phone does detect other networks though. Anybody had this issue before?

      You can try resetting the network settings on your iPhone, which may delete all saved WiFi connections, and make sure Airplane Mode is turned off. 

       

      Or rebooting your iPhone.  If you were able to connect to your WiFi on this iPhone before, perhaps the connection is still saved, and you can forget the connection.

      And turning your WiFi off and on.

      My Mom's has been failing hard lately...she spent an afternoon at (one of) the provider's stores and went as far as getting a new sim card. Maybe something to look into?

  3. I think there’s some degree of truth to that but at the same time I think gas is gas. It’s tough to catch up to regardless. As long as the pitcher does a good job throwing off speed down, changing the timing, swing plane, and eye level, it’ll work. Chapman last night left that slider up and there’s not enough separation from his fastball to slider (not sure what that particular pitch clocked in at but his slider is usually 90-93) and he hung it, so he still got Altuve out front a little bit but not enough and the pitch was just simply hung. All Altuve had to do was get his barrel to it. It was more of a mistake with location than the fault of Chapman’s reliance on his fastball. Gerrit Cole does a great job of living off high heat and burying his off speed to keep hitters honest. Chapman can’t locate and it bit him in the arse last night.
  4. The high spin rate produces the flat fastball (Magnus effect) but also produces more swing throughs. It’s sort of a double edged sword but that’s the way baseball is leaning these days. Teams prefer to have guys just throw straight up gas, the Astros are right into it. I noticed that they’ve got Osuna to throw similar to the way they’ve had Cole throw- fastballs up in the zone with breaking balls down. Cole throws the vast majority of his fastballs up in the zone and Osuna seems to as well, at least from what I see. With that spin rate (and as a result, the ball not really having a downward plane) it must be hard as hell for hitters to catch up to that sort of velo up at the top of the zone.
  5. Chapman and Osuna both have very, very high spin rates in addition to lots of velo. When people square them up the ball is gonna go.
  6. I’ve no problem whatsoever with opposing views or criticisms of the team, but is it not obvious at this point that he just comes on here to rile people up after a loss? That’s his M.O. and has been for as long as I can remember. Seems tough to call it anything other than trolling as far as I’m concerned.
  7. I think the Canucks balked at the idea of taking on the extra year of Lucic or Neal. Not a bad call imo. I think they’re best off to just ride the contract out. Maybe they’ll be able to move it in the last year or two.
  8. Looch got moved for what was seen as an equally bad contract and that trade now looks like it’ll blow up in Calgary’s face. At least, early returns seem to indicate so.
  9. Extra year of term with a NMC. I’ll still take loui. We don’t need either of em.
  10. I bet she looks forward to seeing that you’ve watched each one of her new videos.
  11. As long as you don’t develop a weird fantasy relationship with her, this can’t be seen as anything but healthy haha.
  12. Yoga is frustrating as hell when you’re not good at it (I.e.: do it tri-annually) but man does it feel good when you’re done.
  13. God these jerseys are gross. Who the hell thought these were a good idea.
  14. I’ve been listening to his last two albums almost exclusively for the past 6 or so weeks and haven’t grown tired of it yet.
  15. Reading that PGT on hfboards is hilarious. They’ve completely turned on Marner.
  16. That goal looks so much like the one Shinkaruk scored in preseason back in 2013. That was the moment I was convinced he’d be an elite top line winger.
  17. Typically I’d say if it’s the only squat rack you should avoid doing MP in there unless the gym’s empty and give it up to somebody if they want to squat. But if you only had one set left I don’t think that’s really a big deal at all.
