A grand slam six pitches in, and then Duane Kuiper silent on the walk off
Don Orsillo going insane on the back-to-back walk offs (too bad there wasn’t a 2 run walkoff and a solo walk off the following two games)
It’s 29 teams named Paper and then us
The nostalgia could be stemming from remembering all star baseball 97 (or maybe it was 99?) on N64. Hard to believe the Brewers were once in the AL, and these were the last uniforms they wore as such. As time has passed, they have accrued a little extra sauce than they likely had at the time IMO. It makes for a great throwback 59Fifty or Jersey to rock if nothing else
Mehrabian's rule is a psychological theory based on human interaction. Psychologist Albert Mehrabian invented a theory that in human interactions there are three key components to how people actually communicate. 7% of conversation is the actual words that are spoken, 38% is the tone of voice, and 55% is body language.
Obviously writing is different then spoken communication *but* if you can convey these three components readers will understand the writing way more. I think understanding this basic of a concept allows readers to connect to the characters more and the writing to be full of depth.
A more extreme example of this would be:
**“I’m fine,” she said. “You don’t have to worry about me.”**
*vs.*
**“I’m fine,” she whispered, though her arms folded tightly across her chest. Her smile trembled at the edges, and she wouldn’t meet his eyes. “You don’t have to worry about me.”**
The first is just the words and the reader only knows what is said. The second uses tone and posture to show that the words don't mean what was actually said. This is such a simple concept, but I feel like it gets left out of beginners writing soooo much.
This is just my opinion, but I hope it helps!
I ask seriously, not in jest. Could it simply be due to the difference in sports itself? That maybe a good situation in the NHL is able to just “cruise” at a high level for longer as opposed to the modern NBA, or maybe something else. What are your thoughts?
We will be having a pizza party in the break room to celebrate
