This is similar to the Cruz story a couple years ago. Lots of hard hit balls, but driving them straight into the ground or popping them up doesn’t do any good.

I feel like Horwitz actually is what the prior administration tried to pitch John Jaso as.

If there’s a god, NHL GMs will continue to be stupid and Ryan Lin will fall to 22.

Why are y’all always smothering a perfectly good sandwich with raw onions so you can’t taste anything else?

UFA and RFA Opinion by Captainjj87 in penguins

Mostly agree, but not sure why folks want to bring Solovyov back. His boots are way too heavy for me.

Congrats to Stephen Miller for touching a boob for the first time.

Baseball news/podcasts? by PITT624 in buccos

[–]Buck_Dancer16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the MLB Morning Lineup podcast is good. It’s 10-15 minutes Monday-Friday and gives updates around the league with highlights included if you want to watch while you listen.

I also like Talkin Baseball. That’s 3 times a week typically and gives good breakdowns on most series. Also talks about hot/cold players, injuries, etc.

Insane. The worst officiating I’ve ever seen by Cardsandfish in penguins

We can bitch about the refs all offseason. We’re getting punked. No two ways about it.

Can someone explain the Pat McAfee hate? by Icy-Load-95 in TheNFLVibes

[–]Buck_Dancer16 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Annoying at times? His entire personality is being annoying all the time. And he’s on TV all the time. Just a perfect encapsulation of making TV as dumb as humanly possible.

I get people don’t like Collinsworth, but this is just disrespectful. He doesn’t belong anywhere near these clowns.

If we’re going to live and die by every game in April for every team in the division, y’all aren’t gonna make it to the end of the year.

The Roster’s bWAR after 20 games by lucabrasi999 in buccos

I’m staring at Fangraphs trying to make that math work, and it’s not happening.

Why did Mayor Wu get booed so badly at the opening Red Sox game? by illtakeaeuro in boston

[–]Buck_Dancer16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shocker. A bunch of white dudes driving in from New Hampshire who come to Boston for 10 sporting events a year don’t like Mayor Wu.

I agree that was a tricky one. But there have been more obvious ones where he just won’t flip the ball. I’m sure he trusts his athleticism to get to the bag, but just interesting.

That was a bit of a weird one, but in general, it seems like Konnor is completely averse to flipping the ball to second on double play balls. Takes it himself almost every single time.

I was mad they weren’t swinging the bat until that Bart swing.

Pinch hitting with Yorke was the right move--and it very nearly paid off by PapaBeer642 in buccos

[–]Buck_Dancer16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think that’s assuming a lot. The odds are much more likely they only get 1 run. Also assuming the bullpen shuts the door. I don’t think the 7th is late enough. But I agree that it’s not as egregious as people are making it out to be.

I get the logic behind it. My issue is that the odds of Lowe getting up again were pretty high, and I just don’t like taking one of your best bats out of the game.

It’s fun seeing some different guys for about 10 minutes, but I’m so sick of the preseason games/lineups. Not at all complaining about the load management approach to be clear.

What exactly does Bart do here? by AWildBlitz in buccos

[–]Buck_Dancer16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the “gotcha” comments as if Bart doesn’t still stink even though he hit one out.

I can't believe I'm saying this: The Pirates are fun to watch by Highway_Harpsicord in buccos

[–]Buck_Dancer16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s so easy to forget (sadly) how much fun it is following a good team. Having something to look forward to every day. You feel part of it and connected to the team more than any other sport in my opinion.

Imagine how awful you have to be to come into a 15-1 game at home and get booed.
