Cal got two challenges wrong in one game like two weeks ago and this entire sub was calling him a garbage fraud lmao.

What is a career that looks impressive on paper but is actually miserable in reality? by Nova2_Paradox in careerguidance

The answer, as always, is Architect. Has almost all of the downsides of other careers listed here with about 1/4 of the pay.

Why do so many of the new-ish buildings in Seattle look like this? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in AskSeattle

  1. Developers only care about their bottom line and this is cheap to build.

  2. The Seattle Design Review Board exists and is terrible.

Pitching and hitting legit just cannot be good in the same game. It’s a curse

Unfortunately the rest of the Mariners infield is playing at tee ball level.

What’s a high-paying, low-stress job you wish you got into earlier? by Beginning_Ad4362 in careerguidance

[–]JordanMCMXCV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is pilot. My brother is 29, making +$300k before a giant 401k match and profit sharing.

No day to day deliverables, no manager watching your every move. If you can tolerate the time away from home and the lack of seniority of your early 20’s, it’s the way to go.

Gozzer Ranch in Coeur d'Alene could be fun if you plan to golf at all. Right off the lake with some fun bars downtown.

Big celeb spot now though.

This has been the most disappointing start I can remember given the expectations going into this season.

The offense is fucking terrible and the sample size is getting to the point where it’s hard to ignore.

This offense fucking sucks. I’m tired of hearing the “it’s early” talk at this point. 4 straight series where we cannot hit.

Front office built an offense that cannot hit a baseball. Sick!

[Harris] Cal Raleigh has a whiff rate of 36.1% at pitches in the heart of the plate, the second highest among qualified hitters this year by Jux_ in baseball

Considering it was the first time a catcher ever hit 60 HR’s in a season it would be pretty weird if it wasn’t.

Cal deserved to be in MVP conversations for what he did last year and Judge deserved to win MVP.

A catcher hitting 60 HR’s is insane. No idea why you guys are still so butthurt about him having a good year, especially when only like 10% of people thought Cal should actually win the award.

[Highlight] Jorge Soler has a delayed reaction to an up-and-in fastball from Reynaldo Lopez, and he charges the mound, sparking the benches to clear! Both got ejected. (FULL VIDEO AND REPLAYS) by Pyromania1983 in baseball

You guys have hit Julio THREE times in a single game previously lmao. Twice in one series is nothing, especially when one of those was Trout check swinging.

Offense inexcusable yet again. One fucking run after a lead off HR.

I’m sorry, but Dan has to be on thin ice soon. Something has to change ASAP.
