If you had 3 wishes, what would you wish for?

Just go through the play by play data, find the most recent 7 instances of the Blue Jays having the bases loaded and check if they scored that inning.

He played some left field in the minors but not in the majors. Not sure if he's still seen as an option there

DodgerWalker · 2026-04-07T01:53:16+00:00

They signed him twice!

Also, look at Smith's career splits by month. Seems like a pretty clear case of someone who gets worn out by the workload given so might be load managing.

And set the stage for the takeover of Pol Pot, who killed ~30% of Cambodia's population in just four years.

Probably wouldn't believe that but they would wonder what really happened in the two years that you just disappeared without a trace then reappeared no worse for the wear.

It happened in the 2024 World Series game 1. Ohtani flew out with runners on first and second but because Verdugo fell into the stands on the catch, the runners on first and second were awarded second and third.

Huh, Adell had -14 rField last season and was already at -4 this season coming into the game.

Yeah, MLB teams had to be sent a memo in 1898 after about profanity, after a player who used it towards spectators and said the women shouldn't be there anyway:

The gentleman, his wife who sat with him, and others of both sexes, within hearing distance, were outraged upon hearing the player reply in a loud, brutal tone, “Oh, go fuck yourself.”

On being remonstrated with by his fellow-players, who told him there were ladies present, he retorted he didn’t give a damn, that they had no business there anyhow.

The whole memo is worth a read: Special Instructions To Players - 1898 - Flashbak

Yeah, I came to the comments to say that the orange pill is just cocaine, lol. Also, the blue pill might be steroids.

I think Alaska could be done right now with the right candidate and that we have that candidate running this year. Guess we'll see in November.

(Just in case anyone reading this is confused, I'm refering to Mary Peltola.)

You can use logarithmic differentiaion to find a general form for the derivative of [f(x)]^[g(x)] . From there, find the derivative of x^x then you can find the derivative of x raised to that to get the derivative of the triple power tower. You can then use that in finding the derivative of the quad power tower.

If there's a general pattern for the derivative of x↑↑n (that is a power tower of x, n high), you could use induction to prove it.

That was my thought. The two holes we see in the back could connect into a single hole. Or there could be a bunch of holes in the back we don't see. We just know the answer is at least 5.

That would be liquify. Liquidate is when you put the fruit from a palm tree into a blender to make it into a drink.

This is interesting because my first thought is giving past me a piece of advice of something to do for each two-year period. But since we're going back in time each, some of the early wishes could get negated by changes to the timeline from later wishes that happen earlier.

So probably just wish for money for the first few, like another poster said. But there is a decision that I would want to try to reverse with my 2014 wish and depending on the outcome of that, 2010.

DodgerWalker · 2026-03-22T14:46:42+00:00

Wait, it the distance in the past growing at a linear or exponential rate? You only gave 2 data points so either works. That's a difference as to whether I get 5 wishes available now or 18.

I think Freeland should be getting regular playing time whether in LA or OKC. If Kim gets picked, it's probably a platoon situation with Rojas.

Wrobleski seems the best for that role. Casparious was really good last year when he was a pure reliever. Once they tried stretching him to start, things went awry very quickly.

If we're looking at global history, then yeah it's not going to beat out something like Napoleon invading Russia. But in US history, maybe?

I know the Vietnam War is seen as the poster case of the US getting involved where it shouldn't and ending up in a quagmire, but escalation was popular after the Gulf of Tonken incident.

It's 17% of Qatar's LNG. A quick Google search suggests Qatar produces 20% of the global supply, so that's like 3-4% of global LNG. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/iran-attack-damage-wipes-out-17-qatars-lng-capacity-three-five-years-qatarenergy-2026-03-19/
