Talk:Sinker (pitch)

message: The line between sinker and two-seamer is fuzzy, but doesn't it seem odd to refer to the sinker here as a two-seamer when there already is a whole page dedicated to the latter? As I best understand it, the main difference between the two-seamer and the sinker is its purpose. Whereas the two-seam fastball is often a supplementary pitch to a normal four-seam fastball, used as part of a broad repertoire, the sinker tends to be the "go-to" pitch for most of its users, a pitch designed to get ground balls. A clearer differentiation is needed, I think, on each of these pages. --Jprg1966 (talk) 19:02, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Dubious

message: Yes the line is fuzzy, but the differentiation (among the college pitchers I've talked to) is actually the reverse of the way Jprg1966 describes. That is, a pitcher that relies solely on his sinker tends to throw it harder than someone who uses his sinker as a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) pitch. So imagine two pitchers that each throw a four-seam fastball at 91 MPH. If one of them is primarily a "sinkerball" pitcher, he will throw his sinker at about 89 MPH (and refer to the pitch as a "hard sinker" or "sinking fastball"). If the other pitcher only uses the sinker occasionally, he will throw it more slowly (probably about 86 MPH) to also benefit from the change of speed, but it will also be somewhat less accurate than the sinker thrown by the "sinkerballer".
I'm not trying to one-up anyone. Just agreeing with Jprg1966 that the current article isn't accurate.
Dreslough (talk) 02:26, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, I disagree with jprg1966 aswell that it comes down to usage.  Most of the time, a sinker and 2 seamer is the same pitch, no pitcher throws a 2 seamer and a sinker.  Statcast and Baseball Savant, ie the MLB with their advanced cameras and radars, does not make a distinction between the two, they are all sinkers.  You could also argue that between the two pitches, a 2 seamer has more horizontal movement, and a sinker more vertical, I don't really make that distinction.  I would argue that sinker and 2 seamer are just interchangeable words for the same thing. Wozrop (talk) 12:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Pan Ron

message: For several months I have been doing research on 60s-70s Cambodian rock and have updated the associated Wikipedia articles accordingly. I have thought very carefully about the proper article title for the singer that WP is currently calling Pan Ron. The Romanization of her name has taken some turns based on the intended audience.
In every video interview I can find in which a true Khmer speaker (e.g. Chhom Nimol) says her name, they pronounce it “pan ron” as an English speaker would spell it, as in fryingPAN RONald. However, French is Cambodia’s colonial language and a French speaker would use the spelling Pen Ran for the same thing. In items intended for English speakers, she is called Pan Ron in the Cambodian Rocks bootleg and City of Ghosts soundtrack, but she is called Pen Ran in the professionally-researched documentary Don't Think I've Forgotten.
So when in doubt, my proposal is to go with the classics. Her original 60s-70s records (such as  and ) were targeted at French speakers and therefore the spelling is Pen Ran. That is apparently the original Romanization of her name, and since Wikipedia is an international service, I think Pen Ran is more likely to be used by people around the world when searching for her on WP, especially if they have seen her old record covers.
So I am going to be bold and move the page to Pen Ran, and will make sure that all text and redirects are adjusted accordingly. I would not be offended or surprised if anyone thinks the move should be reversed, but it would help to discuss the reasons here. Now go listen to her music! ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The lead section of this article previously ended with the following sentence:
"Another viewpoint is that western journalists have the wrong mindset to report on Cambodian news stories properly as they do not understand Asian culture."
This was tagged because it lacked any supporting citation, but I don't think that actually matters much here. This is not a credible or notable "viewpoint" — it's a thinly-veiled defence of Cambodian government censorship. To the extent that a Wikipedia page presents the rhetoric of an authoritarian regime, it should be clearly described as such. This sentence lacks any such context or a supporting citation, so I've gone a step further and simply removed it.
