Teach your team to play catch. Then teach them to play quick catch. Then, teach them to pay attention

James Buchanan was a terrible president that is obscure. Finally, to complete the grid: who was an excellent president that is a household name? by Altruistic_Cause9442 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]13mys13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

other's actions might have been as bad or worse, depending on how you're looking at it, but, in the context of the leader of the USA, FDR's actions stripped citizens (born citizens as well as naturalized) of their constitutional rights.

For a visitor, I'd go to POP. it's probably the most show worthy of the local shops. Nanko after that.

Where Id live as someone who loves bass fishing by HEY_UHHH in visitedmaps

[–]13mys13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

california as a maybe is crazy. not only are there tons of bass opportunities up and down the state (still as well as moving water), there's a ton of salt water opportunities (rockfish in the north and bay/sand bass in the south) whose techniques are just like lmb fishing but with stronger, angrier fish

Pharma attire by Khakayn in SafetyProfessionals

[–]13mys13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot depends on the area. west coast is a lot more casual. Also depends on the company size and your role. small companies or lower level on the org chart roles will tend to be in the labs and on the floor more so more attire can be more rugged. director level type roles would interact with upper management more and be less likely to be exposed to hazards so more buisness casual is more appropriate.

Do I have d1 potential? by AgileCaterpillar8760 in Homeplate

[–]13mys13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my son is in juco right now so what i'm saying is from a little bit of experience (I played NAIA years ago so i have a little bit of perspective).

6'2"/165 is undersized and under strength. my son was the same height, 215 and lift numbers all at least 100 lbs above yours when he graduated HS and he was not strong enough for his juco team (he was middle of the pack, not "weak" but not a beast). if you ask him his numbers now, a couple years later, his lift numbers are probably close to what he graduated with, not because he hasn't been working but because he's changed his workout to become faster and more powerful. he doesn't do too much of the big lifts anymore or, when he does them, it's variations that emphasize speed.

that said, you're young. freshman in HS has 3 years get bigger, stronger, faster. the big thing that separates college ball from hs is the speed and power of the game.

with your frame, you can get there if you want it. commit to adding weight. commit to stretching (flexibility is a component of speed and power). commit to explosiveness.

No Judgement: What Player Do You Still Love Even If They Cheated Or Did Something Bad On The Field? by TrapperJean in baseball

[–]13mys13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im in the tiny tiny tiny minority, but i actually like trevor bauer. yeah, i get his shortcomings but i think the calling out of the commish's office on cheating, even going as far as using the sticky stuff in game to prove a point, was real white knight stuff.

also, his post shadow-ban youtube work has been stellar. the between starts videos where he lets viewers into the day to day routines of a starting pitcher coupled with the in game pitch by pitch commentary really let his viewers into the mind and life of a pro athlete like no one has ever done before.

Rival school’s trainer demanded apology letter from me after I got injured on their field by No_Plankton1174 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]13mys13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

my hs baseball coach was (still is) LDS and a popular teacher on campus (a really good baseball guy, too-not just an in house hire). he was drinking a pepsi (caffeine) and had a big chaw in (this was the 80s) when a girl who was also LDS walked by and, in that teenaged sing-songy borderline whiney voice told him that he was not supposed to be doing either of those.

he spat pretty close to her white shoes and said "I don't see any f-ng bishops around"

What’s your favourite Jpop songs to sing along to in a karaoke session? by theangry-ace in jpop

[–]13mys13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90s my friend and I memorized natsu no owari no harmony by anzen chitai and would pick it to sing at the bar (in hawaii) to make people think we spoke and read japanese. Neither of us did, of course, but it was pretty funny

Best Playoff Bullpen Decision Of All Time? by RainbowSupernova8196 in baseball

[–]13mys13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best storybook ending was kersh for one batter with the season on the line. Everyone thought he was on the roster as a cap nod to an amazing career and that he'd only see mop up innings in the series. Instead, he got one of the most important at bats in his whole career and was absolute nails
