OT: Pitch

[Lettucexxxx]

I dont get into many cable dramas but this show, for some reason or another, had me emotional. Maybe I'm on my period but I remember my father being this hardcore. This show looks like it may be great. The time will come when a women makes an MLB roster and Pitch looks to really show you what it will be like.

It's not a cable show and don't get attached because it's been bombing in the tv ratings

 

[Lettucexxxx]

What? Tonight is the premier? I like it a lot so far.

I don't think a woman will ever make it in the big leagues based on her abilities. One might have some skills in a given area but they don't have the strength. The only way one might make it will be for political purposes.

Knuckle-ball pitcher

I think one might could make it as a knuckle-ball pitcher.

You're a girl?

Perhaps. It will probably be a woman with a penis though. Yes, confusing I know, but evidently there's no such thing as different sexes (well, according to some people). Guess I'm sexist for saying that.

This. Pitcher is the one position other than kicker I can realistically imagine a woman being able to compete with men for. No doubt it would take still am exceptional woman who would need an unorthodox pitch or two (e.g. A knuckleball) and the ability to throw a decent fastball to keep hitters honest. It will happen at some point.

It's been on since September. They're pimping it during the World Series to try and help it get ratings.

Uh Oh.

If you keep talking like that, c34 will come back to 6Pack.

Although poststructuralism denies the existence of gender per se, the moral branch of the movement preaches that a person *is* the gender they imagine themselves to be, roughly: "Gender is a social construct, however if you feel like identifying with one social construct over another, go right ahead." Don't fret over questions such as "Which construct is the essential construct that I have to identify with to truly 'feel feminine'?" The crudity of language will obscure these difficulties—just say "I feel like a woman" and we will assume we all know the monolithic 'feeling' referred to.

Essentially a new notation is being proposed, and I don't object to that in principle, but I'm not sure why new categories haven't been introduced. Its one thing to say sex and gender are not the same, one belonging to physical description and the other belonging to behavioral description, but why feel the need to use the physical description for a behavioral description? Why not just say "I feel feminine"—? I don't give a **** either way, but I will be interested to see the response when white people start saying "I feel black, ergo..." Or someone says "I feel like a lion, ergo..." Etc.

You aren't a sexist (not for this at least, I don't know much other about you), you just don't accept their notation.

No it won't. This show is built on an unrealistic, retarded premise. A woman wouldn't be able to get by on a slow *** knuckle ball in single A..let alone the majors. You need more than one pitch if you are going to be a knuckle ball pitcher. Women can't break 90 on the gun. Hell I'd be surprised if someone could show me a woman that could hit 80 on the gun.

The world record for a woman throwing a fastball is 69 MPH. You are correct in saying that women can't generally throw a baseball that speed or better, but we're talking about just one exceptional individual needing to exist, and I have no reason to think a woman throwing 80+ is flat out physically impossible.

Eta—Tim Wakefield's fastball was in the 71-75 MPH range. He made out alright.
