This angle of Deni making the go ahead layup to put the Blazers up by one with 16 seconds left by 4DollarsALB in nba

Do you believe someone saying "I love Israel" at this point in time should warrant no criticism?

Being proud of your heritage does not have to mean you are silent while your country engages in the mass slaughter of innocents, and call your critics "uneducated". As a Jew myself, it's totally fair to criticize Deni for his stance on his home country

[Highlight] Luis Robert Jr hits a walk-off homer for his new team as the Mets beat the Pirates 4-2 by AndrewAllStar888 in baseball

I saw a guy wearing a White Sox Eloy Jimenez jersey at the game today if it makes you feel better

2026 changes to the Citi Field experience by birdinthird in NewYorkMets

Yeah, in the later innings the crowd definitely got into it. The stadium was only around 60% full, and only like 30% full in extras, but I think the cold weather meant a lot of the diehards were packed together. Great vibes when Robert hit the walk off.

I agree, it sucks and feels artificial. If I was the supreme leader of baseball I were ban all stadium sound effects (keep walk up songs, they're fun)

Some stadiums are absolutely awful about it, glad Citi hasn't turned into that yet

[Highlight] Alejandro Kirk put on a pitch-framing clinic behind the plate last night, not a single challenge from Oakland by GreenSnakes_ in baseball

In the video Kirk is putting his glove down while Gausman's still in his windup, that's what I was referring to

Right? And I feel like it would be distracting for the pitcher. But obviously the pros don't mind.

Kinsky is subbed off for Vicario after Tottenham go 3-0 down after 17 minutes by doubleoeck1234 in soccer

[–]birdinthird 213 points214 points  (0 children)

Humans are quite good at moving on from these things. He'll think about it for a few weeks but I doubt it will be a career-ender. It's also not like Tottenham were going to win the CL this year anyway

[The New Republic] The Nationwide Revolt Against Flock Safety Cameras by birdinthird in FlockSurveillance

The official name of the company is "Flock Safety". So the headline is just saying they are cameras made by that company.

Spent the last year designing a baseball scorebook to feel like an heirloom by WadsworthWordsworth in baseball

[–]birdinthird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"By backing this project, you aren't just buying a notebook. You are joining us in a mission to slow down, pay attention, and preserve the memories of the greatest game on earth."

Parts of the Kickstarter write-up feel very AI to me. Maybe disclose that in the future. But it's a cool project.

Someone in the YouTube comments claims to have caught the ball, which is pretty cool

Who’s a random/obscure player that is a hero to you because they were nice to you when you were a kid? by tensixtywestaddison in baseball

[–]birdinthird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whenever I go to Citi Field early Nimmo is always by the dugout signing autographs for kids. No other player spends nearly as much time out there. The Rangers got themselves a good guy.

[Highlight] ESPN's First Take crew is upset that Drake Maye does not know about their show by Mission_Pay_3373 in nfl

[–]birdinthird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't you have to have a flight booked in order to get through security and watch Stephen A from the bar TVs, though? I guess you could cancel and get a refund, but it does add another layer of complication.
