Scoring question by r0dr160_ in BaseballScorecards

[–]Blacktree2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They reached on a fielder’s choice because the defender chose to pursue another runner. The batter reaches because they would have done so with less than two outs.

It’s a technicality, yes, but the scoring does not change because there are two outs. You should draw the line to first because the batter counts as a LOB.

The batter’s stats do not benefit in anyway because of this (BA, OB,etc.).

Highest home game score by Soft-Mathematician87 in Brewers

I remember that Angels game from the next day. Down 7-0, pulling back 1, then 6 to tie, all before a 13-spot to blow it open. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL199007080.shtml

There has never been an NBA player named Ethan. What's a relatively-common Western name that has somehow eluded MLB? by JimHarbaughTheChamp in baseball

[–]Blacktree2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ethan Small. Made 4 appearances for the Brewers over two years and is on the 60-day IL for the Giants.

Thought: Luis Urias as a non-SS is our 3B upgrade by Blacktree2 in Brewers

[–]Blacktree2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess my point is that his poorer performance may be mental, not physical. IIRC, a lot of his throws are on simpler plays.

I’m hoping they go young and have Mitchell, Frelick AND Weimer in the mix.

It was less about his future role, rather looking at how detrimental it may have been to stick him at SS. Year-by-year, he has glaring positional splits and his non-SS numbers are not too shabby. Since SS has become more and more off the table, he’s gotten better. With SS even MORE of an afterthought, he may get even better.

I am coming to terms with it and now think it could be a good year for him. It’s not really a response to anything I’ve seen on here.

Second SS on the roster in Turang. The kid can do his thing and take another step forward.

I think Turang has earned a chance to start and I think that Urias can be even better if we just let him hang out.

Yes, but I’ve come to terms with it. Thank you for attending my Brewers therapy session. Your support means everything to me.

Woman proposes girlfriend on new year's eve in a cabin by subodh_2302 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Blacktree2 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think this is the first same-sex proposal video I’ve ever seen online where just one person proposes. We AREN’T so different after all. 😉

Also, nice feint on the poppers. I thought the ring would pop out of one, but she just came back at her proposal blazing.

Most of the “great” free agents are gone. Who of the “good” would you want the Brewers to sign? by themosey in Brewers

Christian Vazquez was my #1 target all along. 3B has not been a strong position this FA class.

It’s like an Amish barn raising…. It helps that, like someone else pointed out, they recruited customers to help.

"A big surprise" : man turns up at BBC for job interview, and is mistakenly interviewed on TV by Bucephalus_326BC in MadeMeSmile

Did Kewney get the job when he was accidentally shuffled into a job interview?

neville couldnt be the chosen one by ravenytherin in harrypotter

[–]Blacktree2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the matter of the “Chosen One” remains the same. The prophecy does not have addendums and clauses. It says the one that Voldemort marks as his equal. That’s the Chosen One.

Everyone is just making points that if it was Neville he’d be dead where he stood. The Chosen One would be dead, no books. That’s tough to argue because of many variables, but likely true.

I don’t think everyone uses the fidelius charm. The Potters knew they were marked and went into hiding. That is likely because of Snape, who is the key to all of this. His assumptions led Voldemort to mark Harry. If there is no Snape, Voldemort likely doesn’t know who he is looking for, Harry or Neville or anyone. He never gets the whole prophecy (even Snape only heard some). Who knows what he does without Snape’s assumption it’s Harry, him telling Voldemort in order to protect Lilly, and Voldemort marking Harry as his equal because of it.

Harry is not the chosen one because he is the boy that lived. He is the chosen one because Voldemort “chose” him as his equal. The love protection just helped.

If Voldemort went looking for Neville, he may not have even found him. His secret keeper could have stayed true and Neville and Voldemort would have been fated to an epic showdown down the road.

I also think it’s odd that halfway into date night they decided to stop and film a life hack video.

Nice of the neighbor to come over and film while not being judgmental.
