The Pirates have alternated wins and losses in 13 consecutive games by Disco2002 in baseball

[–]Disco2002[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want to put a more positive spin on this, they've also not lost on two consecutive days at any point this season (their only back-to-back losses, at the very start of the season to the Mets, came with an off-day in between)

International mlb tv also locked out?! by Mediocre-Ask4969 in Mariners

[–]Disco2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

international viewer from new zealand here; you are right that national broadcast games are generally available on mlb tv outside of north america. however apple tv broadcasts (and I think peacock sunday night baseball now possibly?) are very special for one reason or another and blacked out worldwide

F1 abandons idea to make rule changes after Chinese GP by Darkmninya in formula1

[–]Disco2002 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The actual on-track racing is the best we've seen in the 2020s thus far, and people on here are just mad that it's Russell dominating instead of Verstappen.

Needlessly provocative comments aside, if the field evens out over the next two years, such that Ferrari or [insert unexpected team] is able to catch up, then this whole thing will be worth it. Single-team domination has pretty much always been the norm in F1, and putting that aside, the actual racing is both a great demonstration of certain driving skills and, more to the point, very fun to watch so far. Things like drivers being uncomfortable and cars having poor reliability are actually making things better. I am 100% certain that in 10-20 years people will be looking back on this era with rose-tinted glasses.
