Hitting a baseball is the hardest single thing to do in all of sports

Hitting a round ball going a hundred miles an hour feels like it's harder than hitting a tennis ball with the racket. You always hear... the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball. I've heard it enough that I believe it.

While widely cited by sports legends like Ted Williams, 'hardest' remains a subjective metric.

Theo Epstein is a genius for not trading Kyle Schwarber because he knew a 60-game season was coming.

Theo Epstein is a fucking genius. He knew that we were gonna have a pandemic and then a 60-game season and that's why I didn't trade Kyle Schwarber in...

Incorrect. Schwarber struggled in the 60-game season, hitting only .188, and was non-tendered by the Cubs that winter.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat for leading workouts during the COVID-19 spike.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat... despite the NFLPA advising that players should not work out together, Tom Brady led another Bucs workout this morning...

Incorrect. Brady was not actually on a 'hot seat' with his team or the league, and the workouts helped him win a Super Bowl that season.

Ben Roethlisberger's porn addiction admission is a genius move to distract from his real past

This was genius by him. Of course everything that he does is genius, right? Be like, I'm not talking about my real past. I'm talking about my porn. And yes, this is the androstenedione in the locker for Mark McGwire that Roethlisberger's bringing.

The take is satirical, but Roethlisberger did publicly claim he had a porn addiction during a conference speech in June 2020.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
