SitarHero
10.23.19 | "i know, most people don't appreciate strategy. they want to be entertained NAO!!"
Is baseball a strategic sport though? I always thought of it as a kind of one-on-one sport involving multiple people than a strategic sport. Kind of like tennis, but with more coaches. Of the American sports I feel Football and Basketball are more strategic sports. |
DominionMM1
10.23.19 | it is actually. everything from using specific relief pitchers against specific batters to types of pitches thrown depending on game situation. |
SitarHero
10.23.19 | Would you say it's more strategy based than the other sports though? I mean, every sport involves strategic elements of course, but at least to the spectator (i.e. me) the elements of that strategy aren't as visible, unlike in football or cricket, for example. |
DominionMM1
10.23.19 | hm...maybe but i don’t know for sure as a lot of baseball strategy isn’t glaringly obvious. at least to me it isn’t. had a buddy that played baseball through college and he’d explain certain strategies to me while we were watching games and i just didn’t know how he could see all of it. |

GhostB1rd
10.23.19 | I've often wondered how drug tests actually work in professional leagues. Like, do they just do a straw draw every season and ban someone who got the short end? I remember the guy on the Grizzlies who was balding a few years back got banned for PEDs, but other than that I can't recall the last person who actually served time in the NBA. NFL is similarly ridiculous, but even some high profile players have had to sit, e.g. Edelman. Seems arbitrary in the NFL especially where every single player is doing it. |

Lol, be that as it may Lebron wasn't even trying last season. And how can you blame him when he basically had to run the offense the entire game because plan b was letting Ingram dribble the air out of the ball and put up contested long 2s or blow layups.
The season it's nice to see him just hand off the ball to AD and and chill on offense while AD goes to work while also contesting shots and cutting off drives on the other end. |

Meanwhile Booker and the Suns are grinding out wins even with DeAndre Ayton out for a third of the season.
