    Troy Tulowitzki swings once, connects twice for basehit

    I don't know if you seen this yet. I don't think I ever have seen that in baseball before.

    Should have been an out actually I think. Not allowed to hit the ball two times.

    Wow I've never seen that before. I did see a hit where the ball went straight down and then back up where the ball got hit a 2nd time on the follow through for an infield single.

    That's what came into my head at first. Although it was accidentally hit twice, it could be recorded as an out.

    Yeah.... Dumb luck.... Nothing at all to do with having a great swing that you properly follow through on.

    The fact he made contact is coordination, hence he is a professional athlete, but theres no ******* way you can "COORDINATE" hitting the ball twice on one swing. Looney Tunes swing FTW.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say. I do know, however, that in order to have the opportunity for this lightning to strike at all, you'd have to be COORDINATED enough to swing the bat properly and in a timely enough fashion for you to hit it all. Contrary to your well-informed opinion, not all professional athletes have this ability. As a matter of fact, even the best professional athletes at this particular trade are lucky to get good enough contact for a base hit 1 out of 3 times. Add to this that he has to not only be coordinated enough to make this contact at the proper time but also be coordinated enough to have the proper follow-through, and it's pretty obvious that this occurrence didn't just fall out of the sky. No one said that he did something on purpose that's supposed to be an out, though.

    And quit jumping on hackey sack comments and shouting the obvious at us all. I'm sure nobody thought that was done on purpose. Although, you were the only one that was thick enough to think that anyone did and decided to start hootin and hollerin about it. Seriously, bro....

    Dr please settle down... I think your over analyzing this too much.

    I think maybe we should ask if they can add a sense of humor to the SBR Store.

    "The fact...", "Hence", all this bs.... and I'm the one that's overanalyzing it, now that you're wrong. Whatever...

    Doc I don't know how to get through to you dude. I'm not sure if Face is your friend and you got butthurt over my comment or what. I'm going to try and break this down for you like an M-16 and lay it out like TA-50. Face said "he is coordinated and can play hackey sack too", which to me PERSONALLY seemed like a random as hell comment. It would be like me making a thread with a video of a girl devouring a baseball bat with her clam and someone posting that the girl was excellent at crossword puzzles. It just seemed random and I thought it was funny so I posted up a comment. Then you decided that it was coordination that caused the guy to hit the ball twice and I laffed thinking that it wasn't coordination at all (Maybe it happens all the time in baseball, I dunno). To me it was simply luck but if you think it was skill then thats awesome. IDGAF. So at the end of the day, from one Non pro SBR guy to another cheers

    If mlb wasnt as draconian as it is in relation to showing replays then that clearly wouldve been out 4 a twin hit of the ball...

    So he didn't have to have skill and coordination to hit it well enough in the first place to have a chance for that to happen. You people are hilarious.

    no, its called by chance.

    had he said, "i will now double hit the ball", that would be skill.

    Oh... "CHANCE".... Ok... See, I stupidly thought that he would have to CREATE that chance for himself through the use of SKILL and COORDINATION by hitting the ball well in the first place, which is what I thought he was paid to do. Not once did I ever say anything about having any intention for a double-hit. Merely that it can't be all pure chance since you would OBVIOUSLY have to hit it well a FIRST time in order to get the coincedental second hit. But, hey... I'm just not as smart as you guys. Oh, well.
