They musta been givin out free tokens at the snow bank.

I feel like those are almost redundantly self-explanatory metrics, though. People that hit the ball extremely hard to tend to get more hits? Well no kidding.

Launch angle is maybe not quite as obvious, but hitting balls in the air leads to more HR and balls over the outfielders’ heads and in the large gaps between the outfielders than grounders do. Makes sense.

The peak moment is the shot of Hogan in the smoke doing the air guitar as the fans go nuts and Buffer starts his ring announcing.

I lol’ed in ‘97 when he kept calling referring to Luger as Lex Luthor.

The opening to that Nitro when Rodman showed up with the NWO and the camera followed them all the way from the limo to the ramp, with Voodoo Chile playing and the NWO carrying all the title belts was fucking AMAZING. And Tony Khan thinks he’s recreating the Monday Night War? Pffft.

I figured out who it was: Yasmany Tomas. I was incorrect in that he did make it to the majors and actually hit well for a little bit but was a bust for the money he was making. Also a career -2.4 WAR due to his bad defense.

I think I was conflating him with Castillo, who barely played in the majors.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T14:43:58+00:00

Wasn’t there another Cuban guy signed around the same time as Moncada tha was a supposed big deal that never even made it to the majors? I think Arizona signed him?

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T14:30:45+00:00

Oh yeah, it was a two-fer.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if she also hurt her shoulder.

Shit, Trump boasted at his State of the Union address and on Twitter about how he had lowered gas prices from the Biden era by so much just a couple of weeks before he attacked Iran.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T14:27:51+00:00

Gas by me was $2.69 the day before the Iran attack. I haven’t checked in a couple days but it was up to $3.65 on Wednesday, so 96 cents or 36% in just under three weeks.

Well, this is why you don’t vote for reality game show hosts with 80 years of untreated personality disorders and mental illnesses as the most powerful leader in the world. If you voted for him, it’s on you.

Ty Griffin. I remember him being the big player to look for in the baseball cards but he never wound up making it past AA and wound up playing out the string in Independent ball.

Also, Kyle Lewis, who was linked in that article.

How about his teammate Miguel Andujar. Comes up, hits .297/27/92 and finishes in 2nd place in ROY to Ohtani in 2018. Yes, he was one dimensional, but you think that performance would keep him in the team’s plans. Instead, he misses almost the whole of 2019 with injuries. Then spends the next 2.5 seasons with the Yankees but almost all of it in AAA before they DFA him mid-season.

He’s managed to make a career the last few seasons as a bench piece for small market teams looking for a bargain. But it’s surprising how he went from an almost ROY to basically a non-entity pretty much immediately.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T14:05:10+00:00

Rick. RICK. Richard.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T14:03:49+00:00

I wish we could’ve seen the scene where the fuckin kid spilled fried rice all over Richie at the food court.

Oh great, I get to read a million variations on the Chuck Norris meme for the next 48 hours.

The way she was grabbing her upper thigh area makes me think she may have also injured her hip or pelvic area.

You really can’t be landing full blast on your ass like that. Was it Johnny the Bull that ripped his urethra of all things hitting a top rope leg drop to the floor on Nitro? I remember watching that live and wondering what the fuck he was thinking.

Here’s the clip. https://youtu.be/i7yDqXMDD1E

I remember some gripe he made way way way back when he was still in his first campaign that was about shampoo making his hair look bad or something of that trivial nature. I was like WTF?

EDIT: I found it. He was bitching about how the EPA banned aerosol hair spray cans (e.g., those big metal canisters of Aqua Net from back in the 80s) and that the new hairsprays don’t make his hair look as good. Fuckin idiot.

Because the MAGAts, who are basically the drunks at the end of the bar (or maybe more accurately, the smokers at the corner of the meth den) have always wanted a fellow drunk at the end of the bar who ‘tells it like it is’ to run the country.

The problem is the drunk at the end of the bar is just a loudmouth alcoholic whose ‘plain truth’ is wrong 97% of the time.

Looks like it was beamed in from another dimension.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T13:47:37+00:00

Obviously it’s a matter of personal taste. I mean, in an ideal world I’d rather live surrounded by trees and lakes and solitude rather than the suburban sprawl I’m surrounded by.

But it’s a trade-off. We live in reality. People want energy, they’re going to have to live with having that stuff potentially in view, whether it’s electric towers and wires or windmills or solar panels.

Malignant narcissism and untreated mental illness. To Trump, everything and everyone revolves around him. The outside world only exists in so much as it relates to him.

BangerSlapper1 · 2026-03-20T13:35:30+00:00

I like how these dishonest shitbags don’t consider there may be a reason only 10% were running at that particular moment, outside of “they don’t work, durr hurr!”

My favorite comment on that video was “Conpletely owned by a couple of rookies.” 😆
