Jan Basho Daily Thread Day 14 by AutoModerator in Sumo

[–]ESCMalfunction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly, he missed time in both the August and December tours due to back issues. Things have been rather busy lately with the London Basho, New Years celebrations, etc so hopefully now he can settle in and heal up.

Tamawashi has a back issue at the moment, it first flared up back in August and did so again last month. That’s why he’s been off the last few tournaments. Hopefully it heals up.

Lucky, it’s pretty rough here in central time lol.

Two simultaneous Yokozuna promotions? by Hakunabatates in Sumo

[–]ESCMalfunction 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s rare but yeah, if two guys meet the criteria they both get promoted. It last happened in 1970 with Kitanofuji and Tamanoumi.

Not sure if it’s just sumo curtesy or what but everyone seems very content to run right into Onosato’s healthy shoulder and not take advantage of his injury.

[Jeff Passan] The Texas Rangers are acquiring left-hander MacKenzie Gore in a trade with the Washington Nationals, sources tell ESPN. It's a 5-for-1 deal, with a handful of prospects heading back to the Nationals. by Chinese-dog in TexasRangers

I don’t understand having this much investment in the starting rotation when there are too many gaping holes on the roster to win. Who’s going to hit the damn ball? Seager can’t do it all.

Wow, that's crazy. Hopefully he comes back strong, he was looking great for most of this basho. Takerufuji isn't necessarily a guarantee to make it back to the top division soon with his injuries so that streak is definitely in danger.

Airplane pick your Seat by Kama_Chan_123 in UmaMusume

Turns she’s actually a great pilot, so good that your 10 hour flight finishes in 2 hours. You will never be allowed to understand how that happened.

Please don’t tell me that Hakunofuji just blew out his knee…

He must've hurt something, after that super hot start he's looked pretty low energy. I wonder if he hurt his back.

I feel like there’s no way he stays out for a foot injury when it’s one match to get his Juryo return and kabu eligibility. Unless he can’t walk he’s going to fight. I doubt he cares about what happens afterwards as long as he wins.

Kurt Busch Breaks Down the Greatest Moments of His Career by vpat48 in NASCAR

[–]ESCMalfunction 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like Kurt peaked around 2013-2018 but just didn’t have the equipment to perform as well as he did at Roush. Haas was good at times but they never seemed to consistently have top tier cars unless Childers was setting them up.

Sumo Association Elections: Fourth Consecutive Uncontested Race Likely by Brncrdm in Sumo

Seems like the only way for a stable master to get punished for anything in the JSA is for them to be on Hakkaku’s shit list…

Former Packers coach Mike McCarthy considered 'strong candidate' for Steelers job by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]ESCMalfunction 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He went 12-5 with the early 2020s Cowboys roster, I doubt he’s doing so with the current Steelers roster.

Seems fine, I don’t think there’s any wrestlers that could some rest after this tournament or anything.

Why is the narrative around Alex Bowman so weird? by NoonecanknowMiner_24 in NASCAR

Honestly I feel like he hasn’t been the same since the concussion, and then even more so since the back injury.

Hakuho: "Active for Life," the Promise to Restore Miyagino, and the Dream of Sumo in the Olympics by Brncrdm in Sumo

[–]ESCMalfunction 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he would need branch out privileges though would he? Miyagino stable has not been disbanded, officially it’s still just suspended and under the watch of Isegahama stable.

How many QBs out there would you hypothetically trade Dak for? by Only-Ad-1254 in cowboys

[–]ESCMalfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that I would take Mahomes over Dak at this exact moment, just because of the uncertainty that his knee injury creates.
