    2021 Horse Racing Thread

    I agree with you on principle but at this point we don’t know why the horse died. There may have been some undiagnosed condition so it’s a little too early to blame Buffett for the death. I will also say that every relatively young, white-haired guy that I have known have been conniving...

    MLB secretly used 2 different types of baseballs last season

    The league was pretty open about the ball change. The Athletic had a couple of good articles explaining the changes to the ball before the start of the season. In neither article does it say how the new balls will be introduced so my guess is that no one gave it a second thought and it’s...

    MLB secretly used 2 different types of baseballs last season

    From SoSH’s own Alan Nathan. 0.125 oz is approximately 3.5 grams so the six gram difference in weight is roughly two to three feet in distance? And, again their allowable weight difference is 14 grams. http://baseball.physics.illinois.edu/EffectOfChangingBallParameters.htm

    MLB secretly used 2 different types of baseballs last season

    One ounce is approximately 28 grams so the allowable weight difference is 14 grams. If she is seeing at most a three gram weight difference between the lots, then the lots are pretty uniform and IMO that’s damn good quality control for a factory where the product is being made by hand.

    Former Raiders WR Ruggs charged in fatal crash, released from Las Vegas Raiders

    Most of the auto makers have a gentleman’s agreement among them to rev limit their vehicles so that the top speed is capped at 155 mph.
