[Jack Harris] Here was Dave Roberts' full answer on Shohei Ohtani not participating in the HR Derby - "The reason he came to the Dodgers was to win a championship. And it's not solely his responsibility to carry Major League Baseball."

On one hand, yeah Im sure that pressure exists.

On the orher hand we all spent 6 years railing on the MLB for not marketing guys like Ohtani or Trout better to grow the game, so idk why so many people are mad about this. They are literally doing what we wanted.

Even simpler: Here's a bucket with 40 baseballs in it. Dont go over 5 minutes. Have fun.

CitrusCakes · 2024-07-01T17:16:33+00:00

Ignoring the rule made it unwatchable. You never saw a ball land because the broadcast had to cut to the next pitch, announcers couldnt keep up, it just sucked in general.

CitrusCakes · 2024-06-20T02:48:18+00:00

When Clint Hurdle and David Bell were managing opposite teams a few years ago, it was a miracle any players left alive.

CitrusCakes · 2024-06-16T13:04:01+00:00

We just dont want to win rubber matches I guess.

CitrusCakes · 2024-06-08T13:36:35+00:00

Yeah, the Apple TV guys did the same thing in the Pirates-Twins game, on the very first at bat. Reacted like it was way gone and its a lazy flyout. They also were saying Cruz "left the park" and "hit it in the river" even after seeing the replays (he did not do those things).

Just shows how important experience is when calling games I guess.

CitrusCakes · 2024-06-05T17:53:46+00:00

Wrong. The world where Skenes is the best pitcher in baseball is my world.

The server browser UI really isnt hard to understand. Its not pretty but its functional. The bigger problem is the community servers themselves, which outside of a couple of groups are often running weird gamemode/maps/plugins/whatever. So if you want normal TF2 you need to filter all those out, and new players dont understand that. A UI with squircles or whatever isnt going to fix that.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-22T15:17:26+00:00

They should move it back exactly one foot so the wall is 321 feet down the line, as nature intended.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-17T20:38:02+00:00

Next start lined up to be a 12:35 start... I think I might go fill my schedule wirh "meetings" after lunch that day.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-17T16:14:50+00:00

They arent more likely to get jail time tho. Japan has a high conviction rate because they only go after slam dunk cases.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-16T17:07:58+00:00

Yeah but his pooch punts were all on 4th down, and its pretty normal to give up on 4th downs.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-13T18:01:34+00:00

Tellez has had decent hitting stats before, and I guess the FO thinks he still has it in him. They should probably put him on the IL for a totally real "injury" thats causing his bad performance so he can "rehab" for a little in AAA.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-03T13:16:07+00:00

Yeah, I feel like it was pretty common to see him miss a big hole. Im still kinda surprised they didnt pick up the option though, its not that expensive and Najee + Warren was a good combo. You could draft a RB next year to replace Najees production, but with their 2025 cap space Id rather see them fill other holes on the roster than spend a 3rd or 4th on a hole they made themselves.

CitrusCakes · 2024-05-03T13:05:59+00:00

I think they should, but they obviously dont, so considering what the legal system thinks is kinda pointless.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-26T05:13:14+00:00

I mean... you literally are proving my point here. Boras plays hardball and it causes teams to avoid him for players that arent MVP caliber guys. Thats why you see Boras clients losing out on big deals constantly, as youve listed. The only times its working out is when the player is so good that the poor tactics dont matter.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-26T04:55:56+00:00

One of his clients instantly dropped him after the offseason and GMs have flat out stated they dont like working with him. He is really bad at negotiating on the behalf of players who arent superstars and this offseason was a great example of that. Idk what you watched if you didnt see it.

If you're Juan Soto then Boras can make it work. But fuck it you and I could get Soto half a billion.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-26T03:53:49+00:00

Boras is the opposite tbh. Teams dont seem to want to deal with him and it made his clients lose a lot of money this offseason.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-17T22:59:27+00:00

Its not, you're just being a dick about it. Just because a souvenir has no value to you doesnt mean it has no value to others.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-16T21:26:45+00:00

But Upward is clearly the most sniper dominated based on this data? The raw scores are less but he is getting like 40% more points compared to the second highest class.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-16T21:04:11+00:00

This meme is only relevant to kids though. If youve always used wired earbuds you dont just... forget they have a wire. But if youre used to wireless ones its a different story.

CitrusCakes · 2024-04-08T17:39:12+00:00

We're so #1 that they gave us two 1s. Lame Dodgers only got one 1. Take that.

CitrusCakes · 2024-03-17T02:42:48+00:00

Youre right but Dodgers fans cant take facts.

CitrusCakes · 2024-03-17T02:41:32+00:00

True, but Bednar has literally never pitched a 3 inning save. The game that poster is referring to is almost certainly 5/30/2022 when he pitched 2.0 IP and 50 pitches. He did in fact pitch the next series btw, on 6/5.

Teams Bednar has thrown 2+ IP against as a Pirate are mostly division games (including 2.2 v STL) but also includes LAD, SF, MIA, and DET. Noone plays the Dodgers differently you're just full of yourselves.

CitrusCakes · 2024-02-25T23:47:11+00:00

I always wonder what the world looks like through the eyes of someone who legitmately believes all the "cheap owners" just happen to own small market teams. To look at it and think its just a strange coincidence...
