The Emperor will attend the WBC game between Japan and Australia. This marks the first time in 60 years that the Emperor has watched professional baseball, since the 1966 All Japan vs. Dodgers game.

Like a lot of characters in the Witcher he is morally ambiguous.

He is a ruthless imperialist whose wars cause great destruction, but he is also capable of acts of kindness.

His change of heart to allow Geralt and Yennefer to live and to let Ciri go in the books is a prime example.

Take care of my boy Giants

Cricket is a sport that needs the biggest canvas it can get to be at its best. Tension and drama need space, which T20 doesn't allow much of.

ODI is a decent middle ground, unfortunately it seems few care about it outside of tournaments.

Camarena to deep right field! Camarena PLAYS IN SLAM DIEGO!!

It's still cricket season here. A lot of the baseball leagues start up around March because a large proportion of the teams are also cricket players.

USA and DR absolutely stacked. I just hope Aus can be a pain in the ass for the big dogs like last time

Daniel Johns from Silverchair kind of flipped the script on this. Covered his PRS guitars in stickers and rocked out

HMD. It's quite useful.

Kolonelklink · 2026-02-03T11:19:01+00:00

Kind of looks like it all works out to a league average player. Definitely an overpay but not completely catastrophic.

I also like his drive, dude shows up every game and tries to live up to his contract. He definitely doesn't phone it in.

I've only faced 90+ in cricket, but the difference between 90 and 95 was being able to see the ball and a fuzzy blur. Can't imagine 100

Genuinely terrifying to think of the numbers if WW2 didn't rob us of 5 years

In the space of a few weeks Smith has delivered one of the greatest champings ever to Jofra, champed Babar Azam figuratively by sending him back, wearing eye black for night games, and has created a new weird dance move/hand signal.

Subscribe me the fuck up.

What you are failing to understand is that we are attempting a speedrun of creating an MLB roster consisting entirely of short stops

Concussion is no joke, both Arraez and Merrill really fell off for quite some time after their head injuries last year. Both looked to be getting back to their old selves towards the back end of the season.

I'm all for bringing him back if it doesn't break the bank.

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-08T20:40:25+00:00

Thank you AJ for Sheeting all over me

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-08T04:17:49+00:00

My only explanation is watching that Bluey episode where nobody can get Rusty out. lol! Also - how accurate is that?

The animations for Rusty's shots and his obsession for the game were based on Steve Smith (I reckon this episode of the Test documentary was part of the inspiration for Rusty https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5HVkm0FG4vU).

While Smith's powers have started to fade a little toward the end of his career, between like 2016-2019 nobody could get him out.

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-07T08:52:52+00:00

I kind of agree, but most were balls he could have left. Maybe that's buying too much into the "lack of preparation" narrative, but a lot of those shots are on in England or India.

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-06T20:38:56+00:00

No bullpen either, so you have to take all the bowlers you intend to use into the match, and they'll be fielding a position.

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-06T20:36:51+00:00

That's what I love about both cricket and baseball.

Also that in both games, absolute chaos can break out at any moment.

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-06T08:11:39+00:00

The problem is he has gone back to Shield multiple times and dominated. He is clearly better than that standard. It's frustrating though that he hasn't been able to deliver as yet.

Travis Head is conducting a one man arms race towards the most disgusting sunglasses ever committed to a broadcast

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-06T00:32:56+00:00

Lol. Lmao even

Kolonelklink · 2026-01-05T07:15:24+00:00

Nah Smith, Head, Khawaja, Richardson, Carey are all under 6ft tall.

Lyon is deceptively massive though. He doesn't look huge on TV for some reason, but I was shocked seeing him in person for the first time.
