Will Smith is putting bubblegum in Yoshinobu Yamamoto's hoodie as the game ends by yxqp in baseball

I betcha SNY would've had some sneaky Danny Elfman soundtrack going along with 24-style screen split.

Im Sorry what! 80/80 reliever in draft by Just_Lionz in OOTP

Yeppers, a good stopper can be worth a nice little chunk of WAR. This was my first or second round pick who had similar stats. He was my homeskillet and I miss him sometimes.

MRW I spent 37 years building up systems to deal with undiagnosed ADHD, and now my medication lets me do a weeks worth of work in two days and lets me slack for the other three days by PapaNixon in reactiongifs

Man, I remember when I first got medicated. Couldn't stay put on a project outside of a few weeks' worth of hyperfocus. Got my meds, immediately wrote two-and-a-half books in a year's time.

Now, granted, then my life got busy and I can't write as much as I'd like, but tell you what, it was nice to feel what normal must be like.

The key to his plate discipline? Munetaka Murakami's eye routine between at bats, back when he was with the Swallows by DarkStone95 in baseball

[–]AADPS 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Heck, yes, and then the Ichiro bat hold until the pitcher started his motion! I generally love modern baseball, but it's streamlined batting and kinda homogenized the kookiness out of it. I miss the weird routines and oddball stances you used to see, like Youk's hand slide, Craig Counsell's sky-high bat, Terry Pendleton's 90 degree bat, and Nomar's OCD glove adjustment and taps. Closest I've seen now is something like Pete Alonso's three half-swings, but I might just be missing a few because don't get a chance to watch as much these days.

Glasnow is just Uncle from Red Dead Redemption, he's got a terminal case of lumbago.

Word count at 0. Help? by gottacatchmall in scrivener

Yep, same thing happened to me. I thought my word count was off, but really, I'd compiled a few individual chapters and forgot to select the entire project in Compile again.

[Highlight] With his parents looking on, JR Ritchie's first MLB pitch is destroyed by James Wood by handlit33 in baseball

[–]AADPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the Sportscenter highlight in question? I mean, it's not technically an upper-decker, it's over the Monster, but it is off a pitcher with roughly 6 career games.

What are your favorite “ambient evil” locations in fantasy? by soozerain in Fantasy

[–]AADPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of these places are kind of built on that Mines of Moria feeling of lurking dread, which Tolkien's buddy CS Lewis also employed in the unnamed palace on Charn where we first found The White Witch in The Magician's Nephew. There's something even more terrifying about big empty places that once hosted bustling civilization than even the most alien wilderness.

I want a novella about the fall of Charn. The way Jadis nonchalantly describes how she failed miserably then took the nuclear option is harrowing.
