So slamdancers like me need not apply? :(

I remember watching a video a few months ago from NorCal Racing (or whatever) and he talked about looking at the gap between average power and NP to get a good idea of how smoothly you're riding (smaller gap = smoother). Even on longer rides, I'm ******g horrible by that metric.

Well, yeah, but that's in a race where a larger gap indicates repeatedly burning matches to catch up again. On a non-race ride, would you really expect a small gap?

The orange part outside the foul line is called the "safety base". The idea is to give the runner and fielder more space from each other, and reduce injuries due to collision. This is common for softball. Interestingly, it's not a part of of all softball rule sets. For example, HS and college softball doesn't use the "safety base", but most youth-level rule sets do. There are a few other little details that vary depending on which organization's rules you're playing under. It's kind of irritating, and definitely causes some confusion on the field.

Man, all I have to do is lose 50 lbs or so and my tire expenditures will go down about 60-70%

Very appropriate behavior from my POV. Drive out the threats, duh.

Touching the wrong home plate results in an out.

To be fair I never said I didn't like The Doors. I just recognize that they are a lot sillier and not nearly as deep as I thought they were when I was a teen. Still have some catchy tunes though.

When you're a teen, and especially when you're high, everything is either much funnier or more profound than when you're older and sober.
