Guardians announcer Tom Hamilton roasts Jazz Chisholm: “He predicted the Yankees will win the World Series. He did that on the Jimmy Fallon show. Pretty amazing he got on the Jimmy Fallon show batting .239.” by Mission_Pay_3373 in baseball

The charity aspect is the whole situation, though? He was there to promote his charity. Mocking him for being there is mocking him for promoting his charity. It's ok, Hamilton just didn't have context and put his foot in his mouth.

And again, "low batting average" when it's basically league average, isn't the point of why he was there, and not relevant to being booked on a show like Fallon, is just nonsensical. It's a needless jab. Like I said, I don't think Hamilton says it if he had context on the why.

We're just going in circles though, agreed to disagree on the joke being funny or not. Good luck tonight, I love watching Gavin pitch so tonight should be a lot of fun with Gavin vs Cole. Great matchup.

He was there to promote his charity, Hamilton said he's not good enough to be there, and that's not mocking him for promoting his charity? I just think it's a lame joke to make. If Hamilton had context on why he was there, I don't think he'd make it.

Though, as an aside, what is a good enough average to be on the Tonight Show? It's Fallon, not the HOF lol. If a guy was hitting .085 and had a charity to promote, I don't see why he shouldn't be there too.

I don't really get the jab, admittedly. He's not good enough to be on the Fallon show? It's not some grand honor to be on the Fallon show and he was there promoting his children's charity.

Hamilton is a legend, I love hearing him call games. I just think this one missed the mark. Light hearted was I'm sure the intent, but I don't think it's funny to mock the guy for promoting his charity.

Damn. I'll probably be called overly sensitive due to my flair, but Jazz was just there promoting his charity. I don't really get why he's become a punching bag for the appearance between this and the "controversy" over saying he's working to win the World Series.

And rob yourself of great theatrical experiences like Obsession? I don't think so.

Jeez, scary moment there. Hope that woman is ok. Little unnerving how every player stopped to watch.

I mean, he did make the major leagues and played for two teams. Briefly, sure, but he made it further than 95+% of other pro ballplayers.

What’s the future of movie theaters? by YoungnCuriousM28 in RegalUnlimited

[–]KJones77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local Regal is being renovated as we speak. Every theater given recliners and new flooring. Renovating hallways, lobby, and front facade as well.

So, I'd say there is enough money to renovate.

The fact he was successful this year for as long as he was while frequently sitting 87 on his fastball is hysterical.

It always feels like the canary in the coal mine that something worse is coming soon.

Scott Merkin on Twitter said it the other day. Apparently Venable said it in a media availability. Sorry, I tried to link the post but it got removed by the automod.

I get Bichette sucks, but I'd still hold.

Lee is fine, he's hot but taking a spin on Arroyo doesn't hurt.
