You to must not read much about the history of baseball...

Don't need to steal signs to know beanballs are incoming...

Is there a difference in crush or CRUSH?

They're listening

Can we turn the beta back on? I don't like 19 no more...

I really doubt calling an SDS employee who moderates the forum a Boomer is A. applicable or B. a good idea ...

Honestly, his research is cool but he totally disregards the fact that a non bang could be a sign for lets say FB. He only discusses when the can is hit....not a great job on his part.

How could you determine if the no bang was for a fastball or possibly they missed the signs and weren't sure?

What he could objectively analyse was the audible trash can bangs. We know they only banged for offspeed per the report, so I'm sure a lot of times it was because a FB was coming. There were times an offspeed pitch came that there were no bangs for though.

He doesn’t take into account a no banging being a sign for something...His analysis is very poorly Done and he makes the stats favor Astros...when that isn’t the case at all and is very notable in true stats.

No, he didn't account for it because he has no way to prove why there was no bang. It's called being objective, only analysing what he could actually quantify.

The data he compiled on the amount of times they banged on the can looks terrible and he acknowledged that.

What I an getting at is, as well done as this is...it was A huge waste of time when you aren’t able to accurately record all pitches being thrown in home games for the Astros. You can’t publicize the percentage of pitches they knew or any of that, and he tried to do that in this analysis. Solid approach poor execution.

Incorrect, you aren't understanding the reasoning behind the research. His goal was to identify every time a trash can bang was heard during Astros home games. He reviewed every game he could find audio for and tabulated the data.

Through his effort you can see several things. How much banging they did, who they were banging for, and who they banged for the most. He started he was only researching the banging because that's all he could accurately review.

He had no way of knowing if the lack of a bang was intentional because a fastball was coming, initial because the sign was missed, or any other unforeseen circumstances.

It's not portrayed as a 100% definitive analysis, but it definitely provides a good look into what was going on.

SS: Miguel Tejada, Nomar Garciaparra, Jimmy Rollins, Edgar Renteria, Rafeal Furcal, Orlando Cabrera, Rich Aurilla, David Eckstein, Tony Fernandez.

C - Joe Mauer, Javy Lopez, Charles Johnson, Victor Martinez, Jason Varitek, Mike Matheny, Mike Lieberthal, A. J. Pierzynski, Brad Ausmus, Sandy Alomar Jr., Carlton Fisk

Those are mostly 90-00's guys.

Some old school guys would be Mickey Cochrane, Ted Simmons, Bill Dickey, Thurman Munson at C.

George Davis, Joe Cronin, Lou Boudreau, and Dave Conception at SS.

They would need to break it down more, but AS was BR only in the beta. Events were HOF and then legend.

I have no way of guessing if the majority of those beta swings came from BR on AS or events at HOF and Legend.

I thought the 2% statistic was rather vague. I would safely assume that it player A gets perfect/perfect 2% of the time on AS, that number would decrease in HOF and further decrease on Legend.

It's going to be an individual experience based on skill. I don't play with the same success every time I jump on. I don't play the same modes each time either. It will be kind of tough to really put it all in perspective.

The main thing to focus on is there are more levels at play on swing feedback. That means more refined results. Not all good/squared or good/good swings in 19 were alike. In 20 some of those good/squared swings could be perfect now and some could be just good/good.

I have enough issues at times with one other person's crappy internet. I don't see how multiple people are getting into one game like that and it be playable.

Francis Marte with his second ban... Cheater

I doubt OF ever comes back, but I can see custom leagues with friends being a less detailed version to an extent. Well just have to see what the stream entails

Don't need to steal signs to know beanballs are incoming...

Difficulty level is the driving force for me. On AS I stay center usually dropped a little.

On HOF and up for same handed match ups I start a little up and in. If it's opposite hand I just start up in the zone.

I tried the Nacon and I hated it. I mostly tried it for the pedals on the back for FPS games, because I was disappointed with the build quality of Scuf, but I really didn't like the Nacon. Way too bulky and the triggers are hard to reach imo.

I wasn't over the moon for the first one, the new one is great. I don't like the four programmable buttons though, position is nice but they don't stick out enough to distinguish them and hit them accurately.

I have large hands and prefer the offset analog sticks so I used the Nacon Revolution Unlimited controller. I switch back and forth for Kontrol Freeks but my preference is concave on the left stick and convex on the right.

Concave I feel like let's me control the circular movements of the PCI better. Convex feels better making the down and up motions for analog pitching.

Personal preference and trial and error are the only way to nail it down.

I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on that for the exact reason as you. My hands are huge and the PS4 controller is small. How's the durability? Have you had any of the software issues I've been seeing a lot of folks have?

I haven't even tried to mess with the software. There are 4 preloaded configurations, I use number 4. I'm very impressed with the controller, I upgraded from the original. Best part is the USB-C cable upgrade and the wireless USB Bluetooth dongle for wireless play. I can't notice any input latency from playing wireless like a standard dualshock or other controllers I've used.

I purchased through Amazon for the easy return policy were I not satisfied. I never considered returning it though.

Thanks for the info. I like that it comes with a ton of different stick heights/shapes so you can find what works best for your hands. Looks like I know what some of this tax return cash is going towards.

Stick height is not adjustable on the Nacon. There are 3 rings of different thickness that change the total range of motion you can have. Kontrol Freeks fit fine on them though so you can get more height that way.

If you purchase one DM me and I'll share some tips/secrets of the controller.
