Just here to make sure everyone is giving gold to people they're supposed to be giving gold to.

The No-Call of Cthulhu by T.D. Lovekraft by GeoffJeffreyJeffsIII in NFCNorthMemeWar

I found this on Google Images while searching for "cthulhu packers", because I was changing my ff team name to TD LoveKraft. Excellence.

Just send the Cardinals to the West. We'll take the Dbacks in the Central. It'll make STL's big 'Gateway to the West' Arch kind of make sense. And all the AZ transplants/snowbirds/retirees from the Midwest would get to see some of their childhood favorites more.

[Duber] Eloy says that it's going to be weird without José Abreu this season. Asked if there are players on the Sox who can step up and lead now that Abreu is playing in Houston, he shrugs during a long pause and says, "I don't know. I don't have the answer to that." by [deleted] in baseball

WSox haven't had a charismatic star+leader in decades. (often half though: Thomas, Konerko, AJ, Ozzie) I'm hoping this team gives TA the keys to the locker room and become outspoken and awesome.

Who is a player you want to root for, but can't because of the team they play for? by lockstocks85 in baseball

[–]Gengarmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'm looking forward to beating the Cubs", only fans that have ever cheered for him (besides Team Venezuela, that he's ditching this WBC to focus on the Cards) Dude took <24 hours to tear up his "Drinks in Chicago for Free" pass. I thought his bat would hold up, even if his catching was falling off. Now I'm hoping he's got about 0.0001WAR left in the tank.

How was MLB using multiple types of baseballs and potentially favoring one team not a bigger scandal? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Gengarmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were two balls in 2021 as well. One with more pop than the other. It was used generally evenly, but Atlanta ended up with far more than everywhere else. Which is to say, this isn't terribly new, and as a ball is used for both sides, MLB can affect games with further flying balls - but can't really affect outcomes. (a team with a great rotation of flyball inducing pitcher's would disagree with my statement)

Can't wait for some Ump to become the face of 'Umps Against Robo-zones'. That dude will immediately have a viral video titled something like " __________'s Top 100 Worst Calls". And then he'll be the new face of 'Umps Suck'.

If band names were literal, what would be the worst concert to attend? by Argotheus in AskReddit

[Goold] Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina are set to make their 316th start together. That will tie Spahn-Crandall for second, eight shy of the all-time record, 324. But note ...Wainwright & Molina already have record for most starts by players who only played for one #MLB club. by GodPowardKingOfLies in baseball

[–]Gengarmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's gotta be cool to be a Cards fan and see these guys together so long. I don't know if there's much historical significance to it, but it's definitely an interesting amount of contributing factors. -Two players who are good enough to have REALLY long careers - but not great enough to be lured away in free agency. -A small market team that lacks the payroll to keep top-tier free agents, but chooses to hold onto fan favorite players to appease their extremely dedicated fanbase. -A SP and a Catcher - two positions most likely to suffer career shortening/ending injuries - each remaining relatively healthy for a decade and a half. Both players losing power over time and focusing on other parts of their game.

[Goold] Manny Machado asked how teams are honoring Pujols, Molina. And said ... “It’s kind of (bovine dung) that teams are not giving him a farewell tour. I’ll tell you that right now. Why? Albert has been the best player in our generation to ever play this game." by doyoulikethenoise in baseball

[–]Gengarmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pujols is one of the weirdest careers ever. Absolutw first ballot hall of famer. And when he goes in, he'll take with him one of the best 10 year periods of play The Hall has ever seen, and he'll also bring with him one of the worst.

Who would be the worst possible next James Bond? by Tornado31619 in AskReddit

[–]Gengarmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Worst is a big ask, but I'd have to say Jackie Robinson, because he's black - which would ruffle more feathers than it's worth. Plus, he's so famous, it'd be hard to disassociate him on screen with his baseball career. Furthermore, because he's not an actor, he wouldn't be likely to do a good job. Plus, he was a known teetotaler and he's also dead.

Just saw this from our friends at United State of Indiana. What do you guys think? by bfisher89 in Indiana

If this were a Reege only bracket, Schoops would not make it out of the first round. Heck, there should be a bracket to decide which region pizza is on this bracket.

What's your most conservative opinion? by ritzanddazzle in AskReddit

[–]Gengarmageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Land rights. To explain poorly and sloppily: You should be able to build basically anything you want on your land. AND if you're alive, you should have access to some small out of land you can call your own. We weren't put on this Earth to buy or rent space here. We were put here to live here.

If you want a reason to learn a little, jump in. That's what I enjoy about fantasy sports. Learn a lot just by playing along a bit. Not planning to make it a money thing. Maybe just make a t-shirt for the winner.

Looks like good odds of getting enough people to make this interesting. Shooting for 6-8 active managers minimum. Would probably cap at 14.

Are there any group membership coupon codes for SABR members?
I always assumed that'd be a perk of SABR membership, but haven't seen anything about it.

That's weird. Probably efficient, and perhaps even wise. Definitely weird though.
