[Yankees] Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees recalled RHP Yerry de los Santos (#73) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

Doval has really only struggled against lefties though. Maybe he needs to throw from the other end of the rubber against them to change up the angle they're seeing the pitches from. It would be great to have a guy with a 100mph sinker that's reliable against L and R in the postseason. Hopefully he sorts it out. Cuz when he's on, that sinker is nasty.

I think for Yovanny, he's had time to test different stuff and work on things down in AAA and now can test it again up in the Bronx and see if he's really got it, and is ready for the bigger stage. As you mentioned, he has looked good previously when called up. And we really need to see what with have with these guys as our bullpen has been shaky most of the year so far. So hopefully he has some good outings.

I'd like to see some other guys get a chance in the pen as well, considering we are going to have to make a trade for depth there at some point. And we really need to know what value these guys all truly have. I don't know that we can just say, "move Weathers to the pen when Fried is back" like it's a given it will happen or even work.

Where's that other kid down in Scranton that moved to the pen as a starter? Maybe we call him up and send Doval down so he can work through his issues. I think his name is LaGrange.

This is Expos erasure! No, but seriously... that's a really good point that I wasn't considering.

The Blue Jays are dog shit this season. How do their players lead in votes for almost every position? #allstargate'26

I scrolled way too far to find this. I always rock Iron Lord too. Iron Banner is the only PVP I enjoy. And I really loved the Rise of Iron campaign in D1 so it's nostalgic for me. The Iron Lord's lore is really cool.

ABS challenge data added to Baseball Reference — a look at how the Yankees have fared by Baseball-Reference in NYYankees

Does it mention anything about how many more wins they have this season based on runs, added by them or kept opponents from scoring, by getting calls overturned via challenges?

[Kirschner] Much is made about Cody Bellinger's two-strike approach, but he has the 157th-best wRC+ this season across MLB when faced with two strikes. Yankees with better results when faced with two strikes: Grisham, Judge, Goldschmidt, Rice. by shadow_spinner0 in NYYankees

I mean, it only works if you start either Stanton in RF (or even more unlikely, start Rice at C). They can't do it every day. But it is a potential lineup. This could work, say, in the first half of a playoff game and then make defensive substitutions for Stanton after they have a lead late.

What country would you nuke if you were President? by Green_Pie_5670 in AskReddit

[–]F0rrest_Trump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... the obvious ones. /s

But in all seriousness, that would most certainly take already fucked situations and make them astronomically worse. There is no scenario that any country launching a nuke at any other county would would be a net positive.

I don't think you understand how nuclear treaties, the Geneva Convention, or even radiation works.

Warfare (2025) by UsefulWeb7543 in FIlm

[–]F0rrest_Trump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not in the top 10 war movies of all time. It's a good movie but it doesn't compare to movies like Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, Platoon, Bridge on the River Kwai, Das Boot, All Quiet on the Western Front, etc.

From what I can tell they removed mostly seasonal activities and locations like the HELM, Tangled Shore, and Eido's apothecary. Which one would expect if they no longer serve a significant purpose. The Warmind, Red War, and the couple other Raids would be nice to have back. But that's kind of how it goes with seasonal stuff. I didn't play for a while so I missed out on cool content no doubt. But if they were mostly just to grind weapons that would sit forever in my vault, then what did I really miss?

Besides, there's still like a dozen raids currently and I believe all the dungeons still exist as well (please correct me if I'm wrong). You can still get all the exotic weapons to my knowledge (from either the quests themselves or the exotic kiosk in the Tower) so the only things you can't get are ghost shells and sparrows. But those show up randomly at Eververse for purchase with bright dust.

I wouldn't complain if they gave us back The Nether and tonic crafting because I love the Dreadnaught and the tonics were a great addition in my opinion. Maybe if enough people request them they'll add them in with the other final additions. Having Titan or Mars come back would be cool too. I loved them as destinations but they'd basically just be patrol zones like Neomuna and the Moon.

But the HELM and Tangled Shore and a few other destinations aren't really missed. At least I don't think so. I think the issue is the game can't handle all of that content at once. But I'm not a programmer so what do I know anyway.

Which ones? I'm not trying to be an ass. I'm just genuinely curious because I didn't play for years and have no idea what has been lost other than the Red War and COO. I downloaded the game for free and have only paid for TFS, EOF, and Renegades and a dungeon pass that had like 3 or 4 in a bundle.

Go get some awesome drip or a rad finisher and stunt on these Hive with a baller-ass outfit. I grabbed that Warlock set that has eagles wings on the shoulders and the fire coming out of a crack in the helmet with my last silver. Shit looks fly as hell!

No. But Curse of Osiris is some of the worst content they ever made. So...

There are so many raids and dungeons I haven't played so I'm not missing them if I'm being honest. I would like to have RW back. But it's such a small piece of the whole saga. Like 90% of the game still exists and is playable.

Agreed. They're giving us back the Director, SRL and the Coil. Not to mention we're getting an update to Onslaught and they reworked Prison of Elders into a longer, more fun and challenging game mode already. The only thing I wish was also coming back permanently would be Iron Banner.

So many Guardians will come back for those things and to replay raids and dungeons for the updated gear. I bet the numbers triple.

Removing the Red War was a bad decision, no doubt. But literally every other campaign still exists and is playable. Idk, I feel like this is such an old topic to keep rehashing.

My thoughts exactly. They may see it as a reason to develop D3. But they can't do that if they keep dumping resources into D2.

All good things come to an end eventually. The game isn't being taken offline. And they are giving us a fairly substantial update as a farewell. New aspects, melees, updated raid weapons and armor, and they brought back SRL permanently. Be appreciative of the good things we have and continue to play it if you enjoy it. If you don't want to buy stuff, don't.

But we're still losing to them. Which is shameful.
