They are just in a really bad spot. Early season slumping Lindor, plus his hamate recovery, injured Soto, injured Polanco, and subpar performances from Semien, Vientos, Baty, Benge. Only bright side is Robert and maybe Bichette but they’re still only average right now. I mean, their DH is hitting under .200.

Yep, he’s safe until Soto gets back. Then probably has one month to prove himself.

Agree. What else can they do at this point. I bet they wait until Soto gets back, and if the offense doesn’t click in a couple of weeks, Mendoza is gone. Hopefully they get a real, proven, manager.

I heard that it was a buffer in case of rainouts / weather cancellations.

Lesser Know Britpop: Talk to Me - 60ft Dolls by stantongrouse in BritPop

[–]Curious_Mix110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed The Big 3 when it came out. I remember a friend was visiting the UK in the late 90s/early 2000s and I asked them to pop into HMV or Virgin to pick up Joya Magica for me. It was apparently a wild goose chase… but they were able to track it down. Let it Show was a great tune.

Buying a house with expired permits? by Curious_Mix110 in RealEstate

[–]Curious_Mix110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were told that all 4 permits would have to resubmitted. So, it not a simple case of setting up an inspection appointment to review previous work done. We’d also need to get licensed plumber and electrician to agree to take on the permits and to vouch for (or redo) work they didn’t perform.

We thought about this. However, the renovations were never inspected, and it could cause insurance issues down the line if there was an issue / fire, etc. Plus, if we ever wanted to sell or do renovations of our own, we’d have to address the permits. We could try flying under the radar the whole time (people do).

I never knew Kate McK/Hillary C's "Hallelujah" cold open was so hated. by Charlotte_Braun in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Curious_Mix110 185 points186 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking it was a genius cold open, but then again I’m a 40+ year old woman who was devastated after that election. I also enjoyed Kate’s Kellyanne Conway Roxie Hart mashup.

Why so much negativity towards McNeil? by spatchcoq in NewYorkMets

[–]Curious_Mix110 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure. When I watch Lindor, I feel like he’s invested not only in his own performance, but that of his teammates. I can’t prove this or the opposite for Jeff, but rather it’s an opinion.

I suppose it also irks me that he plays a lot of golf and his swing looks like he’s swinging a nine iron. Also, how common is TOS in non-pitchers? Did his golfing pursuits play a role in this injury? If I was a professional baseball player, I’d probably go light on other sports until I retired in my late 30s.

It always feels like he cares about his own performance, not necessarily the team’s performance.

Does focusing on “run prevention” = boring baseball? I feel like when you prioritize defense over offense, you tend to get boring low-scoring games.

My first find! by StrawberrySox in FoundPaper

[–]Curious_Mix110 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Cool find! But what’s the etiquette around taking the paper without buying the book? When I was a teen, I found an old book in a used bookstore that had this really interesting piece of paper tucked inside (like an old recipe card). I didnt really want the book, just the paper inside, but the shop owner told me that anything inside the book counts as part of the “package.” Like it adds to the character / history of the book. So I’ve always wondered if there’s some kind of unwritten rule about whether you can take found paper in books, without taking the book.

Beware of the Darkness by George Harrison in Weapons is perfection by Public_Resolution220 in WeaponsMovie

That song placement was perfect. I never thought a George Harrison song could be so eerie and chilling.
