I saw it with my own eyes

I personally don't believe it myself. He'd be mowing down the AL All Stars if it was the equivalent of 107

Brett Favre threw many interceptions.

If it is not pure….producers have injected additives. Otherwise, I have seen pure honey crystallize which can be solved by placing the container in a hot pot of water.

My Dad was a beekeeper. A fascinating hobby.

Per the USDA guidelines "Pure" honey can contain a significant amount of corn syrup. If you refrigerate truly pure honey it will turn to sugar, most comercial honey will stay liquid because it is diluted with corn syrup.

I hear that all the time but that can't be right. hard to imagine a 12 year old being able to foul off a 107 mph fastball lol

Timing is everything.

 

[kong]

But he's not fouling off a 107mph fastball. It was an 82mph fastball.

That's my point.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. They are talking about equivalent reaction time. It's all about speed over distance. Little mound to home is 46ft. Major league is 60ft 6in. When they are saying equivalent they are keeping the time the ball travels from the pitcher to home plate constant. So a ball traveling 82mph over 46ft would take about 0.37 seconds. A pitch in major league that would take 0.37 seconds to cover 60ft 6in would have to be traveling at 107mph. The kid still only throws 82mph no matter what distance he's throwing at.

Watched the entire thing and all I can say is... Heup's got that look in his eye.

This must have went right over your head. An 82MPH fastball, at the little league distance, is the same as a 107MPH on a normal baseball field. Damn, I feel my IQ dropping already. Back to football

My neighbor is fighting hive beetles this past weekend. Honey is pretty crazy when you learn about it.

*always thought it was weird that honey makes bread taste crunchy.

No it sure didn't, but obviously you can't read

I understand the math of it but still don't believe it. One aspect that you didn't account for is pitcher extension. MLB average is 6.5 ft so release point is actually 54ft from the plate. Most of my argument comes from my belief that an mlb team would rock this kid throwing 82 mph even if he was throwing from 46 ft away. But I could be wrong. Maybe he would have the mlb all-stars looking silly.

I still think Golesh leaving was as huge hit to our offense.

They still haven't fully recovered - made worse by bad QB play.

 

[volbeast33]

You're saying since a 12 yr old can throw 82, a 12 yr old can also foul off a 107 mph fastball?

An elite 12 yr old could foul off a 107 mph. It would take a lot of luck though.

inbf we had sec poy.

MLB players don’t struggle with speed. They struggle with speed plus movement. A MLB players pitch can move 17-19 inches at 100 mph. I don’t know how they ever hit the baseball.

inbf we had sec poy perfectly reasonable alternative explanation.

Sorry I wasn't getting into the minute distances. Major leagues have never seen a 107mph pitch so I don't think they'd be rocking anything

I'm not sure about that. This offense wasnt really setting John Denver's country music award on fire with Milton and Golesh before Hooker took over. I feel like the biggest piece of the puzzle is an accurate, quick thinking QB who can run a little.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Also. . . it's Monday and officially game week! I can't believe you let this slip from discussion this morning.

The biggest thing we lost with Golesh, IMO, was a bad cop on the offensive staff. Maybe Seth Littrell can assume that role.

That's fair - also there is a video out there showing a lot of wide open receivers that a certain QB just couldn't hit.

Golesh leaving had really very little impact in my mind, the issue was personnel. Make no mistake the offense is Heup's baby and he calls the shots.
