I'm not sure Contreras did until the ump called the out at home - you can almost see him realize, "Wait, if that's an out then the force is still on!"

Feels wrong to say a ball hitting 6 inches under the top of the wall is "grounded," but since this situation happens once every 150 years or so we can deal.

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

So good!! 🤗

Ball don't lie.

Kerry Carpenter? Kerry Carpenter!!!!!

(Should help guarantee 1984 results, right?)

Watching Tigers-Mariners using an Antenna over the air like it's 1984.

Dunno. He really digs the strike outs.

Bad bunny has the potential to do the funniest troll ever by performing "proud to be an American".

Waiting for the day when right wing ideologues accidentally recreate Reggio Emilia to get away from so-called woke education testing organizations. 🤞🤞🤞

100% there are issues with using SAT & ACT testing as a major admissions benchmark.
Using a different, still standardized, test who only exists to be ideologically conservative isn't moving anything in the right direction.

Nice! I was intrigued by this and on the fence about signing up (mostly just due to the busy-ness of life), but it does sound pretty good...

Wahooooo!!! An absolute all-timer from Skubal - the Tigers make it waaaaayyyy too exciting, but escape with the win. Yowza.

Supremely nervous!

This is true AND it used to be even worse a couple years ago. 💀

This year had students roll two 10-sided dice for the angle (they had to re-roll over 85 and under 20).
As chance would have it nearly all groups rolled 65 and above. Pretty sure that's a statistical fluke but it'd be more pleasing to get a wider range of angles.

Every group was successful in hitting the ship in their first try - which 🙌🙌🙌, though it may be a bit too easy. Not sure if that's a bad thing for the first summative - but I'll need to think about whether I use a smaller boat, or maybe give them the position & v_0 & they predict the angle? 🎢

Day 28, APP1: 1st "real" summative lab practical - Sink the Ship! Students roll dice to select the angle a "cannonball" will be fired and place the ship where they predict it'll get hit.

I give students the initial velocity (shout out Vernier's repeatably precise Projectile Launcher!) #Teach180

What's a mountain??

Better find out just to be safe...

I'm glad the Tigers clinched a postseason berth, but jumping around on the mound after blowing a huge division lead and barely sneaking in the wildcard over the last couple weeks doesn't feel very appropriate.

I think you can get pitch velocity as the ball crosses the plate, but I have to dig around to find it (or maybe it's not in the public facing data)

Ha! Me too! 😂

I'm just distracting myself from noticing the Tigers are doing a historic collapse right now after seeming like one of the best teams through August...

Oooh! A little digging I found this page at Baseball Savant: baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-video...

This shows the ball's exit velocity (EV) after hitting the bat was 43.9 mph. Not sure how accurate that is given the odd angle of the ball, but generally EV data is pretty accurate.
